2007 Isuzu i-290 Service and Repair Manual

Replacing the i-280 for 2007, the Isuzu i-290 took its name from a new 2.9-liter DOHC inline-four that makes 185 horsepower, up from 175. The truck stays a rear-wheel-drive extended cab with a six-foot bed, offered in S and LS trims, and it shares its running gear with the Chevrolet Colorado. Because the engine changed this year, this factory service and repair manual gives 2007 i-290 procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules instead of carrying over 2.8-liter data.

Known issues on the 2007 i-290. Two recalls are on federal record. One covers brake lamp switches that can be contaminated in hot-climate states, causing all brake lamps to fail or stay on. The other concerns extended cabs with a front 60/40 bench and no rear seat, where the center top tether anchor is not accessible and the owner manual lacks tether instructions. NHTSA also logs 11 owner complaints, most often about the electrical system and the engine. The manual's wiring diagrams and engine diagnostics cover those checks.
