hi everyone,

i bought this 1992 troop. in March this year....and it is a handful of disappointments. i paid 2950$ on a 'rebuilt' engine with 2500 km....thinking this was the right move.

a mysterious coolant leak due to a faulty head gasket cost me 1000$ to repair. the back shocks are completely blown, the brakes squeek since a few weeks now, the ABS light was and is on since day 1, dash lights are not all working, and a really annoying one: THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT FLASHES AT A STOP AND THE ENGINE NEUTRALIZES ONLY TO RIGHT ITSELF AFTER I TURN OFF IGNITION THEN BACK ON AGAIN.
...i saw a transmission mechanic about this particular problem and he took it for a test drive and told me it was most likely the wrong filter in the transmission...oil/air..can't remember. he estimated 300$ to fix this by simply replacing it with the proper GM equivalent for the trooper.
does anyone want to play this game with me...enlighten me!

thanks!!!!!!
