Specific variants depend on FSR/FTR/FVR sub-models and configurations. Performance Horsepower Range: Variable, typically ranging from 175 HP to 250+ HP depending on engine and model. Torque Range: Variable, typically ranging from 400 lb-ft to 600+ lb-ft. Fuel System Type: Direct Injection Diesel (Common Rail or Electronic Unit Injection likely) Cooling System Type: Liquid-cooled, pressurized system 🔧 Transmission Standard Type: Manual transmission (e.g., Fuller Roadranger, Isuzu MYY series) or possibly automatic transmissions (e.g., Allison) depending on configuration. Optional Type: Various manual and automatic transmission options available based on truck configuration and GVWR. Features Clutch System: Hydraulically actuated single-plate dry clutch (typical for manual transmissions) Fluid Specifications Transmission Fluid: Specific GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil (e.g., SAE 75W-90, SAE 80W-90, or SAE 85W-140, depending on transmission model). 📐 Dimensions Exterior Wheelbase: Highly variable depending on specific FSR, FTR, FVR model and configuration (e.g., straight truck, tractor unit, dump truck). Weights Gvwr: Medium Duty Class 5-7, typically ranging from 19,500 lbs to 33,000 lbs+. Gcwr: Will exceed GVWR, dependent on powertrain and trailer configuration. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Crash Test Results: As commercial vehicles, safety ratings are typically evaluated differently than passenger cars. Focus is on structural integrity and occupant protection in specific vocational use cases. Manual will cover safety system diagnostics. Active Features Braking System: Hydraulic drum or disc brakes, with ABS likely standard or optional. Passive Features Occupant Protection: Seat belts, reinforced cab structure. Manual covers restraints system. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment System Type: Basic factory radio (AM/FM, possibly cassette or CD player). Focus is on utility and reliability rather than advanced infotainment. Driver Assistance ABS: Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) was likely standard or a common option on medium-duty trucks of this era. Connectivity Diagnostic Ports: OBD-II or proprietary diagnostic ports for engine and chassis data retrieval, detailed in the manual. 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Oil Change Interval: Typically 5,000 to 10,000 miles or 6 months, but can vary based on operating conditions (refer to manual for specific intervals). Filter Replacement Intervals: Fuel filter, oil filter, air filter replacements tied to mileage or time intervals, detailed in the manual. Fluid Specifications Engine Oil: API classification CG-4 or CH-4 (or higher, depending on engine spec), viscosity typically SAE 15W-40 diesel engine oil. Consult manual for specific oil type and capacity. Coolant: Ethylene Glycol based, meeting specific OEM standards for heavy-duty diesel engines (e.g., heavy-duty OAT or HOAT coolant). Capacity varies by engine. Refer to manual. Brake Fluid: DOT 3 or DOT 4 heavy-duty brake fluid (ensure it's compatible with ABS systems if equipped). Known Issues Common Wear Items: Brake components (pads, shoes, drums/rotors), clutch components, suspension bushings, exhaust system components, and diesel particulate filters (if applicable for the era/engine). Electrical System: Potential for wiring harness degradation, connector corrosion, and alternator/starter issues over time in high-usage commercial applications. Manual provides diagnostic procedures. 📚 Vehicle History Brand Heritage Isuzu Commercial Vehicles: Isuzu has a long-standing reputation for producing reliable and durable commercial vehicles, particularly in the medium-duty segment.
