First upfront I want to say, I took my Trooper alternator to O'Reilly Auto Parts to be tested. Since I knew they would not have a parts sale & said it upfront as the part is not available, I purchased gear oil & tail light bulbs to ease the pain of wasting their time. They do these test for the hope of a parts sale. It is only right if they won't take a few $ for doing the test, a purchase should be made. IMHO!

Process,

Using their equipment, you have to input the year, car manufacture & model so the test equipment knows what to look for. We used 1988-89 Suzuki Samurai, thanks to whoever it was that came up with this is a close match. Suzuki alt has a 3 wire plug but it will work. The test equipment will look at the overal alt output which is in the 13+ to 15 V range. Then it will look for the output to the three wire plug. Since the Trooper alt has one less wires than the Suzuki, the test results will show ONE failed. Everything else will show as passed. If the person doing the test switches the wires for the plug on the test equipment, the failed test will move to the other terminal. Bottom line is the output passes and so does the plug. I also went by and talked to a friend who is an old-time mechanic, in other words my age, about pulling the battery cable off the positive terminal of the battery. He also said if the alt was not putting out, the engine would die. Hope this helps others as this becomes an issue in the future.

      This is rocmoc/Michael one of the first on this forum when the Joyner was one of the most active topics.  First an update of others.  The earlier members will also remember Lenny and Jeff.  With myself we organized the first Jamborees in 2009-2012.  Sadly if you have not heard we lost both Lenny and Jeff in 2018.    A great loss to the community.  Myself:  Still around but rolled over to Jeep and Arctic Cat Wildcat.  The Wildcat  design still remains me of my old 2008 Trooper.  Doing well as the Last Man Standing but cleaning out the garage.  Found some New and used Trooper parts I will list in the parts section.  Wanted to give you all a chance before I list on Ebay.  As many of you knew Lenny listed a lot of stuff on Ebay.  Will I partnered a lot of the stuff with him and I still have stuff.  Take care and I will check in for message should you want to ride.  Still make it to Utah every other year and am still in Southern AZ.

      Hello everyone! I am new here and have no experience with UTVs but I am quickly getting some. I have a shifting problem where I can shift through all gears without the engine running but as soon as I start the engine I can not select a gear. Yes, foot is on the brake and yes the pin is being pulled to go into reverse if I was to try going into reverse. The shift lever does not move. I adjusted the linkage to get more accurate shifting with the engine off so I know those are now correct. I opened the shift lever housing to inspect the teeth on the gear and found this picture below. Why is this oil so milky looking? I assume with oil like this I'll need to replace the wet clutch as well but am not positive. Does anyone have any input into how to flush this system and get things shifting correctly? Thanks in advance for all the help!
