On adhuntr...

Search "isuzu 4.77" "isuzu gears" "isuzu 477"

Finding 4.77s on craigslist is like finding a flying man-bear-pig unicorn. Reason being, most people who know they have 4.77s use the planet to post them for sale. That's why I wanted to tell Jo ASAP after finding them yesterday morning. The only other time I saw 4.77s on craigslist was for a set that was also posted on the planet and scooped up quickly.

In other words, the Planet classified section is the best place for hard to find stuff.

You can also search:-

89 Trooper
RS Trooper
Two dr trooper
Trooper Snowflake

...etc!

Its a real lottery as it just depends how the seller describes stuff.

Oh and JBTW..&^%$ !!

The guy with the 4.77's in Yakima promised them to me..

"First Dibs" to quote.

He was checking shipping etc so I knew how much to send him.

E-mail this morning:-

"Sorry jo, a guy locally wants the stuff, I know you had first dibs but cash talks."


So much for Honoring his word...

Couldn't offer more? You were willing to pay $1300 before (albeit for plug and play).

What a d1ck though. We'll keep looking.

The $1300 was for a whole different set up...

...which included two lockers and fully reconditioned/rebuilt units.

I probably would of paid more, he didnt give me the chance.
But having been told "first dibs"..
...I took him at his word, and figured it was a done deal, except for sorting out shipping cost.

Oh well....aint nuttin I can do abooot it .

Jo,

vt_mav sent me a link to an 89 Trooper on CL in my neck of the woods. I just called about it. The guy knows nothing about the truck other than it has a 6 cyl engine, 5 speed tranny & 4WD. He didn't even know if it was a 2 door until he stepped outside to look (it's a 4 door). From what I've read, since it's a 4 door it doesn't have the 4.77s you're looking for - correct?

[JoFotoz]

Hi Tom

There seems to be conflicting views on this

Some say 2 dr only, others include 4 door.

If its a 4 door with 4.77's the manufacturers plate under the hood
should have option code 6NZ on it...as far as I know!

Is this a whole vehicle, or for parts.

Thanks

jo

Whole vehicle for $1500. Still runs strong. This could be a group effort thang ... if someone is wanting to do the 5 sp swap. Lemme know if you want me to check into any further.

Thanks Tom...

Its probably worth finding out if it has the 4.77's...

It has the 2.8L engine & the only 3 digit code he could find is V4W. I don't think that this one is going to pan out for us in any way.

[JoFotoz]

Thanks Tom..I appreciate all the help
