pretty good replacement for a Farm Truck.. 5.2L 4 cylinder diesel gives enough power and torque to haul 5 tons of farm stuff around and still get around 17-25MPG's 🤷♂
the reason why there are 2 12V batteries yet still there's 12 volt rather than 24 is because the batteries are hooked in parallel, when the batteries are pigtailed together like that then a negative on one battery with a pigtail to both batteries hooked negative negative positive positive, is a parallel hookup that keeps the voltage the same but doubles the amps to crank it over, can still start on one big battery on a warm day but in the winter... not so much especially since the proper diesel engine oil is 15W-40 which is molasses in freezing temperatures and diesel having twice the compression ratio of a gas engine it takes more amps to start it
I run mine with a single battery someone took one of the battery’s and the connector cable so I slammed a single battery in and never had problems starting mine
Thinking of buying a Isuzu or Hino to start a towing company. Looking to get a Isuzu rollback to tow cars. Is isuzu reliable, and what do you say about Hino as well? Thoughts?
That an in-line 4 or 5? Always liked those trucks. Way underrated in what they’re capable of. I’ve been looking for one for awhile without luck. Going to have to buy a hino instead
the Mitsubishi Version is even more of an Oddity the Japanese Market ones have an option to have a 2.0L NA 4 cylinder Petrol Engine rated for 1.5-2.5 tons
That was a water separator filter you replaced. The fuel filter is on the top rear of your engine. (The other white filter. You have the short one.) I would replace ASAP. Looks nasty. The rod in front of your battery's slides out with a wide crush sleeve. (hollow pipe). I have a 01 NPR-HD
