to those up had audio upgrades.... guys, nagpalit pa ba kayo ng battery? did you guys also installed a capacitor?

thanks!

For the record, I played my current upgraded system for 5 hours straight last weekend, after which one click start, ok pa rin. I have a 1 farad cap (Lightning Audio) from my other car but never really installed it since there's no need for it for my maliit na set-up ko ngayon particularly the subs.

jarhead - hindi natuloy yung new HU that my sister promised, something came up eh .


By the way mga peeps, we have reached our 100th page!

2Dmax -- WOWW!!! galing ng biyahe mo,, ikaw lang ba nagdrive nito all the time,,sarap ah d nakakasawa basta powerful ang sasakyan...

[cardo]

2dmax,

nice!

ilang kilometer byahe mo? now, thats a ROADTRIP! hehehe

[2Dmax]

ako lang mga pre nag-drive. hindi na ako nagpapalit para endurance test din. overall 1400 kms ang biyahe. sarap talaga na medyo nakakapagod na may kasamang antok. lakas talaga ng DMAX, very stable ang ride and car-like comfort ung shifting ng mga gears ng DMAX, kaya comfortable ang biyahe. 5 nga pala kami so gumanda rin ung bounciness ng ride. hehe

next roadtrip: BOHOL, SAMAR, LEYTE, CEBU, AKLAN.. hehe, hopefully mga december para malamig..

2Dmax: PLan ko talaga pumunta Apari. Wala ka stopover? Balak ko hanggang ilocos muna then sleepover eh. May marerecommend ka ba na hotel or maraming hotels dun?

kami naman huli na namin dinaanan ung ilocos para swimming sa pagudpod. sa cagayan una kaming nagdaan. hindi na kami nag-stopover. 4 hours lang rest namin sa gasoline station sa bandang isabela then tuloy tuloy na ang biyahe, hinahabol kasi namin ung kasal ng kawork ko. nung pauwi naman, stopover kami sa vigan para pasyal sa heritage places then non-stop na namn ang biyahe..

marami dun pre na small hotels or mga motel. madadaanan mo kasi ung mga sentro mismo ng mga bayan so marami mapagpapahingahan dun lalo na sa bandang vigan, ilocos.. san ka ba pre manggagaling?

[2Dmax]

2 years na nga pala this april DMAX ko running for 35,000 kms. papalitan ko na ng engine coolant (Prestone 50/50 mix ratio) and wheel hub bearing repack.. sulit ung ginawa ko long road tripping.. hehe

[2Dmax]

guys,

may nabibili bang power door lock (actuator) para sa rear taildoor ng dmax natin? balak ko kasing palagyan so just with a click of switch, maglolock/unlock na siya so there's no need to switch off the engine just to unlock/lock the taildoor, since common key sila. and if meron mang mabibili, meron din kayang switch kit na mabibili na sakto sa spare switch holder ng dashboard (where OEM turbo timer is installed).

nung roadtrip kasi, lagi ko pang pinapatay ung engine just to open the reardoor, medyo hassle.. thanks..

[wildthing]

Yan din ang next project ko - door actuator para sa tailgate lock. Hindi ko pa nabuksan ang likod kaya hindi ko pa rin alam kung pedeng lagyan ng actuator.

Ang retail ng actuator ay tig P400 or P600 yata sa concorde. Yung switch ay hahanap pa rin ako ng pede sa dashboard switch.

Ako nagpaduplicate ng susi para di ko kailangang patayin yung ignition pag bubuksan yung tailgate.;)

2Dmax: Thanks for the info. Might visit the place this holy week.

if good brand, pace-edwards I think ok, made in USA. try visiting www.pace-edwards.com. I think sa banaue campershells meron. if ever na magawan mo pre ng paraan na lagyan ng actuator, just post that stuff ha, para may idea kami how it turned well.. hehe

pumunta rin kami sa cleveria. bibili sana kami ng lobster and coconu crab, pero wala sa palengke. sayang hindi namin napuntahan ung pier ata yun dahil dun daw binabagsak ung lobster..

Hi!

OK lang ba na 2smf din ang ipalit nating battery sa Dmax. Mga dating pick ko kasi (Nissan SD23 at L200) puro 3sm ang ginamit. Pati yung Kia Carnival 3smf din. 2smf nakakabit ngayon sa Dmax but I'm having second thoughts in replacing it with another 2smf since I don't know how the stock battery compares with our local brands.

[wildthing]

As per casa, calculated na to work well ang 2smf with the normal requirements of the pick-up. My batteries died after two years of service (which was a normal lifespan).

I replaced it with a no maintenance version ng "tropicalized" motolite (green). More than one year na ito without any problem.
