What kind of engine does a 6500 Isuzu have?

The company I work for is looking at a 2006 6500 truck with a 7.8 ISUZU and an auto tranny. Any one know of any problems with these engines? It has 68,000 miles on it and ISUZU has a great reputation, but I have never been around these so any input from people who run or own them would be great.

Where can I get an Isuzu 7.8 engine?

You need to find an Isuzu truck shop, they’ll get it right, and hopefully the previous shop didn’t phucker it up too much. the 7.8 is a sweet engine, used by Isuzu for a few years before GM got to use it. my head hurts now, I haven’t thought about those engines in awhile….

How many miles does an Isuzu C7500 auto have?

It has 68,000 miles on it and ISUZU has a great reputation, but I have never been around these so any input from people who run or own them would be great. Has noone on here ever ran one of these or do they just never make trouble. No idea. We have 2 C7500’s with the auto. The 7.8 is a gutless wonder so don’t expect much power.

Is the Isuzu 6500 the same as the Kodiak?

The truck does not have enough power to hurt the tranny. The cab is the same as the Kodiak, so you will have the same rattles and quirks. I am guessing your liking the 6500 because of it’s size for a roll off, just like we where with them.

What kind of power does a 7.8 Isuzu have?

No idea. We have 2 C7500’s with the auto. The 7.8 is a gutless wonder so don’t expect much power. They have both had injectors and one has had a head gasket. We use them as directional drill trucks. They have a 1000 gallon mud tank on them and pull a 24′ Trail King trailer with a 30000 pound drill on it.

If the 7500 had a Cat or Cummins in it we would be happy. They are sized just right for our needs. Just extremely under powered. The running gear, frame, brakes have all been problem free. The truck does not have enough power to hurt the tranny. The cab is the same as the Kodiak, so you will have the same rattles and quirks.
