Sheesh. Weird engine you had there. My 1993 bakkie is still going strong.
Std 4 cyl cross-flow engine. Clutch replaced at 200000Km. No other problems
yet.

All your problems would disappear with an ISUZU.
Been there. Had a 1995 or so Trooper. Piece of crap vehicle.
The cylinders leaked oil into the spark plug wells (for some reason the
plugs were about 8 inches deep in the engine), and it had a shitty GM
transmission that not only fell apart (this goes to why friends don't
let friends buy GM), but caused the exhaust to be routed so close to the
starter that the heat fried it annually.
It was the second worst vehicle I've owned, the worst being a Pontiac
Grand Am (back to that GM and friends thing again).

Chevy trucks dominate the J.D. Power reliability rankings, with Ford
a close second. Ford trucks outperform Chevy in towing and hauling.
Car & Driver ranks trucks by overall quality and performance and
puts the Ford F-150 first and Chevy Silverado second. The Nissan
Titan is ranked fifth, besting only Toyota Tundra. Kelley Blue Book’s
top ten are all Chevy and Ford models, with Chevy 2500 taking the top
spot. Ford Super Duty was Motor Trend’s truck of the year.
Nikon and Canon dominate the camera industry. Maybe you are on the wrong
camera forum if that kind of thing is all that matters to you.
