isuzu tow truck Q&A Review
Can I jump start a 24V truck battery from a 12V car battery without damage to the car?
Yes. I've done it several times. I owned several Isuzu tow trucks with 24v electrics. 2 x 12v batteries in series. I carried a 12v jump pack, mainly for starting cars if possible to avoid having to winch them on to the truck. A couple of times I had problems with my truck batteries. So I would hook the 12v jump pack to just one of the truck's batteries and that was always enough to get the truck started - one "good" battery and one tired battery was better that two tired batteries.
Why would anyone buy a Dually pickup truck? Why not buy a medium truck like the Isuzu NPR?
I read and upvoted several answers as they hit the nail on the head: towing capability. Then I searched what the hell an NPR was: This is obviously a commercial vehicle. It comes with a cab and a chassis you can do whatever you want with. Once. You can turn it into a cube van, a dump truck, a tow truck, or a motor home: Conversely, a dually pickup truck is always a pickup truck. You can drive it daily and not look like you’re driving a utility vehicle. With a gooseneck or fifth-wheel type trailer hitch you can turn it into a cube van, another day a dump truck, another day a tow truck, and on the long weekend a motor home: tl;dr - versatility for someone who has heavy things to move.
How much pressure is generated in a fuel nozzle in a diesel engine?
A very good post by Joseph. I used to own 3 x 5 tonne Isuzu tow trucks. Mechanical injection pumps on all of them, running at 2600 psi for each injection pulse. I now own a 3 litre diesel Isuzu pickup truck with a common rail injection system that uses close to 30,000 psi behind the injectors.
Why do diesel trucks have 4 batteries?
US designed trucks favour 12v electrical systems. As others have said, starting a 13–16 litre Diesel engine takes a big surge of electrical power so its common to have 2,3 or 4 batteries to provide the huge amps needed at that low voltage. A starter motor rated at 5 horsepower needs around 325 amps at 12 volts whilst running, and up to a momentary 1000amps or so surge current just to get it spinning. One American designed truck I drove here in Australia had two sets of 2 x 12v batteries parallel wired, with each set of two then wired directly to the starter motor making 4 in parallel with two high-amp wires to the starter rather than just one. European and Japanese truck manufacturers prefer 24v electrical systems and so it's most common to have two 12v batteries wired in series. I used to own 5 tonne Isuzu tow trucks with 6.5–8 litre diesels and all were 24v, using normal two car sized (about 50 AH) batteries wired in series (quickly replaced with larger 2 x N70 sized batteries so the electric winches would not struggle and drain the batteries). A big problem here in Australia with 12v systems is that when towing 2 or 3 trailers (road trains), the last trailer had VERY dim tail and brake lights when using the old style incandescent bulbs - the long wire run through three trailers would leave the last set of lights with only 10 volts or so . And you could not put those 12v trailers behind a 24v truck unless the truck had a voltage converter and separate connectors to power the 12v lights. That's much better these days with LED multi volt lighting on trucks - those units provide the same brightness on anything from 8 volts to 30 volts, so it doesn't matter if the trailer is the last of three, running on 12v, or right behind the 24v truck with its alternator charging at 28 volts. Very useful in Australia where we have both US and European trucks in about equal numbers.
What is the best small truck to buy in Australia?
Anything made by Isuzu. Just about bulletproof, and I've owned 3 x 5 tonne tow trucks, and SUV and currently have a pickup truck to prove it.
Do turbo diesels need intercoolers?
I'll give you an actual example. I used to own several tow trucks. 5 tonne diesel Isuzu's. Mine were pre-turbo, all normally aspirated. 8 litres and 200 horsepower. The next model had a smaller 7.8 litre engine but with turbocharger (no intercooler) - 220 hp. The model after that had the same 7.8 litres with the same turbocharger, but now with an intercooler - 235 hp. That's the effect of an intercooler - more horsepower from the same sized engine.
What are the maximum injection pressures in diesel engines, what values can they reach?
My old Isuzu 5 tonne tow truck had mechanical fuel injection working at about 2600 psi. My newer Isuzu pickup truck has a common rail injection system running at about 28,000 psi.
Have you ever walked out of a car dealership just before signing a final purchase contract? What happened?
Yes, I have. In 2008 I was in need of a truck that could tow my track car on a car hauler. The car/hauler combination was right around 5000lbs, and I had learned the hard way that you really shouldn’t tow something that is right at the max rated capacity of your vehicle. Long story short, the transmission in my poor Isuzu Rodeo (that had, you guessed it, a 5000lb towing capacity) had essentially grenaded. Now, recall that this was just after the time that gasoline first went up to around $4.00 a gallon (this was in Texas). So there were tons of older trucks on dealership lots that people had sold because of the poor gas mileage. This was not going to be my primary vehicle, so I was not being very particular about colors and options, and could afford to take my time in finding something that worked. I told the salesperson when I walked in that I had $10k to spend, and to show me what he had for that. He pointed out several vehicles on the lot and let me peruse them to see which one I might like. There was a Chevrolet Avalanche that fit the bill, and I said OK, let’s do this. He writes up all the paperwork and comes back with something around a $14k price. I said, no, I was clear that $10k was my limit, we need to be at that price. He does the “go away and talk to his manager” thing, comes back around $13k. Now I’m starting to get annoyed, but we went through one more round of “talking to the manager.” At this point the offer was still over $12k, so I just said “well it’s clear that $10k isn’t a realistic price for this vehicle, so thank you for your time and have a good day.” And walked out. We had left our Rodeo at a shop getting a quote on repair (that quote had determined that buying a new truck was our best option), and needed to pick it up before they closed, so I was planning on resuming the truck shopping the next day at that point. As we were backing out of the dealership parking lot, the salesman came running out and said “if we make the sales price $10k will you buy it?” Now I’m really annoyed and told him “that’s what I told you 2 hours ago - I’ve got to pick my other car up, so now you have exactly 45 minutes to get this deal done.” But finally, I got that truck for $10k and ended up driving it for almost 10 years.
What do truckers think about Japanese trucks? Why do they have smaller engines and cabins than European trucks?
Japanese trucks, especially local delivery sized trucks up to around 7–8 tonnes, are VERY popular in Australia. I owned three Isuzu 5 tonne tow trucks. Absolutely reliable. Always driven hard, usually pulling long trailers (three-car delivery trucks) travelling both locally and long distances interstate, I could not fault them. Nice roomy cabs, good fuel economy, only normal maintenance required, never broke down. Hino (Toyota) abd Mitsubishi trucks are also popular.
What is this best battery's to put on semi truck?
It depends a lot on the truck! On a Ford Louisville I drove, it had 4 x N70 (around 70 AH capacity) sized 12v batteries, each with a CCA (cold cranking amp) capacity of about 600. Those batteries were wired in parallel pairs (12v but now at 1200CCA) and the two heavy positive cables were then joined at the starter motor post so in effect, all batteries were mounted in parallel connection, for 12v and 2400CCA at the starter motor. Could you use smaller batteries - probably, so long as the total CCA rating was higher than the needs of the starter motor. But those batteries also supplied a reserve of amp hours so you could run a fan in the bunk all night, keep a reading light burning and so on. Smaller capacity batteries might be depleted overnight to the point where you might not get the engine started next morning. Another truck I drive was a Volvo with a 24v electrical system. It used just two (physically larger 100ah) batteries connected in series for 24v at about 1400CCA. Once again, those batteries had to be able to provide ancillary power to the fridge, reading lights etc, and still start the truck next morning. A 5 tonne Isuzu tow truck I owned had 2 x N50 (50 AH) batteries wired for 24v. I fitted an electric winch to the truck so I replaced the two batteries with N70 )70 AH) size which still fitted in the battery trays, just so they would be worked less hard when using the winch. So the answer is….. the biggest batteries which will fit in the battery holders, and have enough reserve capacity and cold cranking amps to do the starting job next day. Oh - you mean what brand? Whichever brand will do the job - most batteries are quite reliable these days.
