These are typically inline 4-cylinder diesel engines known for their torque and fuel efficiency in commercial applications. Specific displacement varied by sub-model but commonly ranged from 4.3L to 5.2L. Primary Engine 4J: Isuzu 4J Series diesel engines (e.g., 4JJ1). These are also inline 4-cylinder diesel engines, often found in later models or higher specification variants, offering improved performance and emissions control. Common displacements include 2.9L and 3.0L. Performance 4H Series Typical Hp Torque: Approximate: 100-130 HP, 200-250 lb-ft torque (varies by specific engine variant and application) 4J Series Typical Hp Torque: Approximate: 120-160 HP, 250-300 lb-ft torque (varies by specific engine variant and application) Fuel System Fuel System Type: Direct Injection Diesel (common across 4H and 4J series), utilizing rotary or inline injection pumps for earlier models, and common rail systems for later or higher-spec variants. Turbocharging is standard on most N-Series diesel engines. 🔧 Transmission Standard Standard Transmission Types: Manual Transmission (MSB, MXA, MBP types) and Automatic Transmission (450-43LE). The specific transmission option depended on the vehicle configuration and GVWR. Optional Optional Transmission Types: While the manual lists multiple manual transmission types and one automatic, specific availability varied by original equipment configuration. Some heavier-duty N-Series variants might have offered different manual or automatic options. Features Transmission Features: Manual transmissions typically offered 5 or 6 speeds. The 450-43LE is a heavy-duty automatic transmission designed for commercial applications. The manual covers clutch service for manual transmissions. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Wheelbase Range: Variable, typically ranging from approximately 109 inches to 177 inches or more, depending on the specific chassis model (e.g., NPR, NQR). Track Width: Variable, specified for front and rear axles depending on model and configuration. Weights Gvwr Range: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) typically ranged from 10,000 lbs to 17,950 lbs, defining the vehicle's class and load-carrying capacity. Curb Weight: Varies significantly based on chassis configuration, cab type, and installed equipment. Typically starts around 4,500 lbs for lighter configurations. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Safety Ratings: Commercial vehicles of this era were not typically subjected to the same stringent crash testing protocols as passenger cars by organizations like NHTSA or IIHS. Focus was on meeting regulatory safety standards for commercial vehicles. Active Features Active Safety Features: Primarily hydraulic disc brakes (front and rear, often with ABS on later models), power steering. Limited active electronic safety aids by modern standards. Passive Features Passive Safety Features: Occupant safety features included seat belts, reinforced cab structure for crash protection. Airbags were not standard on all models of this generation. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment...
