ENGINE EXHAUST 6F-3
When inspecting or replacing exhaust system components,
make sure there is adequate clearance from all points on the
underbody to prevent overheating the floor pan and possible
damage to the passenger compartment insulation and trim
materials.
Check complete exhaust system and nearby body areas and
rear compartment lid for broken, damaged, missing or
mispositioned parts, open seams, holes, loose connections or
other deterioration which could permit exhaust fumes to seep
into the rear compartment or passenger compartment. Dust or
water in the rear compartment may be an indication of a
problem in one of these areas. Any faulty areas should be
corrected immediately.
Hangers
Various types of hangers are used to support exhaust
system(s). These include conventional rubber straps, rubber
rings, and rubber blocks.
The installation of exhaust system supports is very important,
as improperly installed supports can cause annoying vibrations
which can be difficult to diagnose.
Three Way Catalytic Converter (If applicable)
The three way catalytic converter is an emission control device
added to the exhaust system to reduce pollutants from the
exhaust gas stream.
CAUTION: The catalytic converter requires the use of
unleaded fuel only.
Periodic maintenance of the exhaust system is not required. If
the vehicle is raised for other service, it is advisable to check
the condition of the complete exhaust system.
A dual bed monolith catalytic converter is used in combination
with three way catalytic converter.
Catalytic Types:
Three way (Reduction/Oxidation) catalyst
The catalyst coating on the three way (reduction) converter
contains platinum and rhodium which lowers the levels of
nitrous oxide (NOx) as well as hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon
monoxide (Co).
Gasket
The gasket must be replaced whenever a new exhaust pipe,
muffler or catalytic converter is installed.

Service Precaution
CAUTION:
Always use the correct fastener in the proper location.
When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part
number for that application. ISUZU will call out those
fasteners that require a replacement after removal. ISUZU
will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers
or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do
not use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or other
corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener
joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect
the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may
damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the
correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following
these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts
and systems.
