[QUOTE="Duster, post: 456825, member: 20812"] My first 4X4 was a 1990 Isuzu Trooper which could climb trees if necessary. I bought it new, and carried out regular PM, and even took it in to the dealer while under warranty. It did not leak fluids, over heat, or show any signs of other problems. Then one day, I and my partner were out surveying in the High Cascades, and when we got back to the car, it wouldn't start. I got a rolling start. We drove back to the motel. Walked out to leave for dinner. It had restarted when I parked it, but not this time. We wound up seeking a new battery in Salem, Oregon on a Sunday night. Worse, my lovely wife had cleaned up the inside. Finding a bundle of socket wrenches under the seat, she thoughtfully put them away in the shop. So, I managed to find an open store, bought a battery, discovered the missing wrenches, bought a set of wrenches, installed the battery and collected the core charge in the last 15 minutes before the store closed. Dinner was something odd like doughnuts and coffee. Even when you are careful about PM, things can still sneak up on you. So, I stick to manual shifts, always carry wrenches, water, and some food.
