Performance Horsepower Range: Typically in the 170-215 HP range for 2002 models, though specific variants exist. Torque Range: Typically in the 360-450 lb-ft range, dependent on engine variant. Fuel System Fuel System Type: High-pressure common rail (HPCR) diesel injection system is highly probable for 2002 models. 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Type: Likely includes manual transmissions (e.g., Isuzu MYY or similar) and/or automatic transmissions (e.g., Allison 1000/2000 series). Optional Transmission Type: Automatic transmission options would be common for fleet applications. Features Fluid Type: Specific Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) like Dexron-III or its equivalent would be typical, but manual transmission fluid specifications vary. Refer to base manual for exact types. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Gvwr Range: W3500 (approx. 14,500 lbs), W4500 (approx. 16,000-18,000 lbs), W5500 (approx. 19,500-23,500 lbs), NPR/NPR HD/NQR vary but generally within this spectrum. Cargo Body Styles: Available as chassis cabs for custom body mounting (e.g., box trucks, stake beds, utility bodies). Weights Curb Weight: Highly variable based on configuration and body type, but typically starts around 5,500 - 7,000 lbs for the chassis cab. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Crash Test Data: Specific crash test ratings for commercial trucks of this era are less publicly available than for passenger vehicles. Focus is on structural integrity for cargo and occupant protection under intended use. Active Features Braking System: Hydraulic disc brakes front and rear, often with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) as standard or optional equipment. Passive Features Occupant Protection: Seat belts, reinforced steel cab structure. Airbags may have been optional or standard depending on trim and model. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Audio System: Base AM/FM radio, possibly with CD player. Limited advanced infotainment features compared to modern vehicles. Driver Assistance ABS: Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) likely standard or optional, assisting with stability during braking. Connectivity Onboard Diagnostics: OBD-II compliant, allowing for diagnostic scan tools to retrieve engine and chassis trouble codes. The manual provides detailed diagnostic procedures for these codes. 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Oil Change Interval: Typically every 5,000-7,500 miles or 6-12 months for diesel engines, but specific interval depends on duty cycle and oil type. Refer to original owner's manual or base service manual. Air Filter Interval: Inspect at every oil change, replace as needed, typically every 15,000-30,000 miles depending on operating conditions. Fluid Specifications Engine Oil Type: API CJ-4 or CK-4 rated diesel engine oil, with viscosity grade typically 15W-40 or 5W-40 (synthetic) depending on climate. Refer to base manual for exact specs. Coolant Type: Conventional Green ELC (Extended Life Coolant) or compatible silicate-free coolant. Check original specifications. Known Issues Common Problems: Potential for EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation)...
