The body had a bit of wear but the motor kicked over first go when cold (Canberra winter 2007) without a problem, the compression is to factory spec, while we had the transfer box out we change the High Range gears to something with a better ratio for highway work and bought a turbo kit from Turbo Glide in Wollongong, all we have to do is finish the electrics hooking up the Isuzu into the Rangie.

What you have is a Series 3 Stage 1. Great trucks, but worth less than 110s because of the leaf springs, drum brakes and no PAS. I have seen a few sell for the 3-4k mark - but sounds like you got a good deal.

I seem to recall that paras are about $600 a pair new - maybe more.

What do you mean you changed the high range ratios??? They come with 0.996:1, you can't get taller (better for the highway) than that.

Just listed my Countu Isuzu, location Syndey Southern Suburbs, futher details
on market place under "county".....considerably less than pricing being discussed

Maybe it was meant to be $2350.00, he might have got carried away with the zero's.

At that money it would be a bargin :p

As for the Rangie.......that belongs on the "What were they thinking" wall.

IT'S A 77 Rangie, they are just about giving these things away these days and carrying all that weight with the old 3.5 carbied V8....that would make a 300Tdi or a Diesel Series look quick.

Obviously knows his teminology though with his Oil Radiator (cooler) and Trans Radiator (also a cooler).....

Price sounds reasonable, but it depends a lot on condition, and without pictures it is not likely to raise a lot of interest. Would also help to put the location in the Markets section as well as here.

Edit - in view of John's following post - applies to LT95 with V8 - may or may not apply to Isuzu variants

These specifications do not include the Isuzu engined variants - all 110s with it had 0.996, at least with the LT95, and I think so did the Stage 1 Isuzus.

Sorry, but those are the V8 specs.

As JD said above, the 4BD1 was 0.996:1
