Thanks, saang shop ba sir si Ramon?

bought my 97 hilander six months ago... first time to have a diesel powered vehicle... have to renew its registration next month (january)... with the white smoke emission and smell of unburned fuel, are these indicators that it fail the required emission test? hope to hear from you guys in this regard... TIA

[ramledi]

bago ka magpa-emission test maglagay ka ng biodiesel. it will help you pass the test. that's what i do every registration.

1 liter biodiesel to a half full tank or less para matapang. then bomba ng accelerator bago pumunta sa emission testing center. labatiba na rin.

sir: thanks for the suggestion... i'll take note of it... by the way, where do you get your biodiesel? i also live in cavite... are you refering to the biodiesel that you could easily buy at regular gas stations like flying v or the pure biodiesel which is being sold by small / independent dealers? TIA!

[ramledi]

biodiesel na sold in bottles yan. sa flying v molino ako bumubili wala kasi sa mga auto supply na malapit dito sa amin. kaya pinagtyatyagaan ko na bumibili sa flying v. php156/bottle ang kuha ko. 1 litter na sya. mas mura sana kung di sa gas station mismo. tapos sa petron ako nagpapakarga ng diesel.

baka meron dyan na nakakaalam kung saan nakakabili ng biodeisel dito sa cavite, las piñas or muntinlupa na mura help naman

Pasensya na sir lately ko lang na realize kayo pala si ramon di pa ako nakatawag sa inyo medyo busy lang di ko pa maasikaso kaagad hilander.

Sorry baka OT rin ito, balak ko rin sana mag upgrade to Trooper, yung 4JG2 para easier to maintain. Worth it ba to replace my 2000 XTRM w/ a 99 Trooper? Malaki ba difference sa prices ng parts, fuel consumption, reliability, etc.? Ano ba going rates ng 99 Trooper ngayon? Thanks again!

Malaki. The Trooper requires:

• 2 Oil Filters
• 2 Gal. BESCO Oil (special oil)

... and prices of these are higher than a Hilander (XTRM). The Trooper is a 3.0L vs. a 2.5L Hilander --- so it is expected that Hilander would be more fuel efficient.

In terms of speed, comfort and image.... no brainer, Trooper wins vs. the Hilander.

Besides, it's comparing apples and oranges....

[niwde11]

benz; it think he is only looking for the older trooper(4jg2). not the newer one.

Ehehe! My mistake.... if a 4JG2, go, go, GO! Maintenance and acquisition may still be a little more expensive than that of a Hilander but surely is all worth it. The challenge here is getting a well-maintained, local unit. If you see one and is priced fairly, that'll be a perfect Chjristmas gift to yourself.

Honestly, 4JA1 mounted on your XTRM is a good engine. Its 2.5L direct injection is much efficient than a 4JG2 3.1L indirect injection. Direct injection engines are more efficient, stronger but noisy. kung 4JB1 2.8L also direct injection with intercooler turbo ang nilagay nila sa crosswind maganda sana.

Mahirap humanap ng 99 trooper kasi kaunti lang nilabas because transition unit ito. Old engine new facade kasi siya. Owners keep them because its low maintenance, a true workhorse, four wheel drive on the fly and wala ng papalit na mas magandang model kasi stop production na.

Engine maintenance is about the same as your crosswind just for bigger filters and more oil. Suspension and drive train is what makes it expensive, bigger shocks, brake pads, disk, tires, balljoints, bushing and supports.

I am a satisfied owner, if you find a 99 trooper that is well maintained for less than 500 thousand get it.

I've seen one sa net selling for 530k, looks well maintiained too. If only I had the money now I think the extra costs on the parts would all be worth it since as you said it's a true workhorse and is low maintenance as well. My only concern now is the availability of parts, since stop production na? Thanks again!

Walco, Jayson and Isuzu Philippines always been a good source of parts.
Ebay and Banawe are also a good source. Just remember that if you need parts that needs to be LHD trooper you source it at Ebay US like steering column/box etc. while engine and other parts that can come from RHD bighorns without any problems like power steering pumps, hydrovac etc. goto Banawe or Ebay Uk.

PM me if you have problems sourcing, i might have it in my "bodega"

Goodluck!
