09 Trooper m what 2 do to make more reliable?


BC Trooper

Recommended Posts

I just bought a 09 Trooper and I am bringing it from California up to British Columbia Canada, I now realize that there is no longer a Joyner Supply of new parts so I am wondering what I should/can do to to avoid known problems and to prevent new ones.

I have followed Rocmocs and others posts and here is what I have got so far, please corrent if I am wrong.

1) Upgrade the front and rear diffs with a $100.00 each kit(I have seen on ebay) that supplies , shims, circlip and some new bolts as well as instrcutions on how to properly align the diff gears.

2) Water proof all the electrical connections and carefully go over the wiring to address areas where "Wire Rub" occurs.

3) Weld some type of support bracket to the Rear End?

4) Change out as many Nut and Bolts as possible to higher grade with locking nuts or washers.

5) Change stock Air Cleaner to K&N type.

6) Change out all fluids to synthetic, ie change Tranny from 90w to synthetic 75w/90, especially in colder climates

7) Some kind of issue with the cables , crimps pulling off? what can be done about this?

8) Upgrade 2wd/4wd switch from electric solenoid type to mechanical

9) Check ATV frequently for any bolts/nuts loosening up.

10) ??

Thanx

Hopefully an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure when it comes to these rather cool looking Trooper UTvS.

3) Weld some type of support bracket to the Rear End? ( Only necessary on the very early model, mine was one of the first 50. Later they upgraded the brace fixing the problem. If your brace is a piece of rectangle steel, you have the upgrade. Mine was round tubing like the rest of the trooper)

7) Some kind of issue with the cables , crimps pulling off? what can be done about this? ( Again on the early Troopers, the cables on the shifters pulled apart on some of the Troopers. Mine never did but I have another set of cables just in case)

8) Upgrade 2wd/4wd switch from electric solenoid type to mechanical (More of any issue if you get your Trooper wet a lot. I don't in AZ so have not had any problems. But just in case I have an extra solenoid)

The Rest is pretty much routine maintenance you would have to do on any UTV/ATV.

Hope this helps,

Hi Rocmoc,

How did you waterproof you wire conections? I have whats called liquid tape its pretty thick and then dries to rubber will that work? maybe just wipe it on at the ends of the wires? also I am thinking about putting breathers on the ends of the diff rubber hoses to keep water out. Did you do anything like that? Thank you for your time.

I haven't. Live in Southern AZ where it hardly rains except in monsoon season and you don't want to be caught out in a monsoonal storm. After it rains, the moisture is absorbed into the ground so quickly we rarely have mud. Thus far I have been successful keeping it dry. This is probably something I will address in 2011 as the rubbers are really starting to go.

Hi Rocmoc, how are you. I also live in Arizona and loving it by the way. Yes the rubbers on these joyners are junk and not uv protected, my troopers are always garaged kept so they should last longer, but everytime I replace something on mine, I replace it with better quality parts ect. Thank you for your time.

Thanks Stevo

      Hello,
      Before I invest $10k+ into a brand new UTV for the farm, I want to get my feet wet with a fixer upper and learn the mechanical side of things. I acquired a 2022 Hisun Axis 500 (Lowes-specific model) from an auction for $500. It has only 200 hours and 120 miles on the engine. It looks like the previous owner used it for ranch work and didn't drive it on trails, deep water/mud, or anything too crazy.
      While it runs and moves, it has some problems. It struggles to accelerate up any incline in high and low range and sometimes stalls when I let off of the throttle or change gears. When I apply throttle in neutral, it sounds like it is struggling for fuel/air and pops. When I decelerate, there is a grinding sound coming from the clutch, which I've read to be related to the one way bearing and is semi-common. The last thing I've observed is sometimes the speedometer display sometimes will show a much higher value for a few seconds after barely touching the throttle. Based on the documentation, if a problem is detected from the sensors, the instrument panel display should have an error code rendered on the screen in place of the time, but this isn't happening. Here is a video showing some of these issues (engine is exposed with console removed):
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFAkO5TaGps
       
      Here is another video of the clutches in action:
       
      I've done some research, but information on this specific unit and sister units is limited. There does seem to be transmission and clutch issues reported. I still need to check into the head gaskets. I don't have the equipment to test compression right now, but I do plan on ordering what is needed soon. I do have an order in place for some cables to read the diagnostics from the computer. There is a shop two hours away from me that works on Hisun products, but I am hoping the problem can be identified and is something within my ability to handle. Below is what I've already investigated.  I am leaning towards the primary clutch needing replacement right now.
      After getting it home and unloaded, I did the following maintenance/checks to it prior to operating it further:
      Changed the engine/clutch oil (and filter) and gear oils using manufacture recommended viscosity Changed the air filter and checked for cracks in the air intake flow. Verified good suction. Cleaned the throttle body Changed the spark plug and verified the gap was within spec (0.6-0.7mm) Changed the coil and coil wire Changed the fuel lines, fuel injector, and verified the fuel pump was outputting the correct initial prime pressure for ignition and continuous pressure after ignition. Also completely emptied the fuel tank and made sure octane 91+ fuel is being used per manufacturer specs. Ran seafoam through system too. Cleaned the spark arrester and verified no cracks or gaps in the exhaust flow Changed out the O2 sensor Checked all wired connections to ensure they were secured and no breaks were visible Checked the belt for tightness and for any signs of wear and tear Verified 4WD and the differential lock function as expected - still hesitates and struggles uphill Verified the fan gears in the shifter are not corroded and working as expected ECU was reset after replacing sensors and fuel-related parts  
       
      Thanks!

      4 years ago, I suffered 11 strokes, and am now 50% paralyzed on the left side of my body. I am unable to work a normal job anymore. I was working on the sled 2 years before this all unraveled. My wife told me to keep working on it since i was pissing her off staying home and doing nothing.
      I still plan on improving and implementing different ideas as the product’s revenue continues to grow.

      Greetings from Southern Illinois. My name is Bruce and I currently have a Hisun HS550 Performance Rural King. I have had nothing but problems with this unit replaced so many parts of it and of course, it stopped working and will not start again for about the 3rd or 4th time since 2018 it only has a little over 500 miles and has cost me a bunch of money and headache and the Rural King where I purchased it has a repair man who is certified to work on HISUN but he charged me a little over $600 to repair it once back a few years ago and when I got it home after it being in his shop for over 2 weeks the thing worked for a very short time but when I went to start it the next day it was the same thing and they wouldn't check it further without me paying for service, labor, and parts and I went around and around with them and since there aren't any dealer service centers for Hisun near me and even most of them can't get to it for weeks to months and it could be at their shops for months as they tell me they have problems getting the parts needed from Hisun to fix these giant paper weights. Oh, and you can't buy a scan tool (code reader) Delphi 190121 unless you are one of their dealers and I can't find any other scanner tool that works with it except the Tiny Scan Tool which I purchased and it will work if I could find the correct adaptor cable and connector to connect the Tiny Scan to the diagnostic port on the Hisun HS550 Performance Rural King. Yep, I pretty much have been screwed every which way that can happen with this machine. I am disabled, have cancer, and am on a fixed income so I need help if anyone knows what the connector is called (type or part name) that will plug into the diagnostic port to get my scanner to work it is a 6-pin connector and I hear it only has to have 3 wires connected to it.
      Thanks
