thanks sir otep.viyage, oh sori bout the dmax not making it up to tagaytay via talisay. i think u might hav a problem with the A/T transmission.dat would be the only problem i can see from such a new pick up. was it smoking like crazy? cause if it wasnt, then i would think its a A/T problem. we had a similar problem with my mums car back in the day,it couldnt make up our drive way, it did make it up in reverse, heheh...we later found out dat it had very low oil in the A/t... but dat was decades ago, there has to be a problem wit the A/T.
