Wildthing,
Bakit, nilusong mo ba sa malalim na baha?

**wildthing** · November 3rd, 2006 10:11 PM

Yung putik issue...hindi inilusong sa baha...inabot ng flashflood. Along the pathway ng flashflood kasi yung bahay nung ahente namin na may dala nun. Kaya iyun although sarado yung pick-up during the flashflood, the mud managed to sip inside (underneath the carpet). Putikan ang buong flooring underneath.

Pero prior to that (mga mid this year), that same pick-up started to stall - engine check lights up and idles high pero if you press on the throttle no response. First diagnosis nila the TPS (throttle sensor) was defective...napalitan ito through waranty claim...before millenio...pero it did not improved....ganun pa rin.

Ang duda ko tuloy the other ahente (who resigned) who was initially using it ran it sa baha na malalim (which was also common in Nueva Ecija around middle of this year)...at duon pa lang baka pinasok na ng tubig yung connectors ng computer box...miss diagnosed lang na TPS yung problem...

Hay....buti nalang hindi dun sa service ko nangyari yun....wala na sa waranty yung DMax ko pa naman (we have 3 dmax sa company - yung problematic lang was the newest - barely 8-9mos now, isang LX model). The other 2 are LS models and the one I'am officially using is the oldest...late 2004 model pa.

Wildthing,
Please update us nalang. Nakakainis talaga yang location ng ECU natin. Gud thing ung LX ang nagkaproblema at hindi yung higher LS models. I hope everything turns out well.

Guys,
Please refrain from fording high water levels nalang muna just to be safe...

dati binaha ko dmax ko. Mga above knee level. SA Quirino AVe. papasok ng dlsu. Ayos na ayos naman.

May observation ako guys, hindi ko alam kung mata ko may problem or what.. minsan mataas dmax ko, minsan slightly naka nose drop, minsan mababa harap and likod. Dahil ba to sa suspension natin?

Jason,
Ganyan din ako ka-praning. Let it pass or you won't be able to sleep..hehe.

Depende lang yan sa point of view mo. Parang camera yan. Pag nakaposition sa baba, parang mataas ang sasakyan. Pag nakaposition sa taas, parang naka nose drop. Minsan pantay, minsan tabinge...hehe.

ask ko lang iba ba ang rear suspension ng '04,'05 compare the '06 flex ride na ls dmax?

**Djerms** · November 4th, 2006 06:31 AM

Jerb,
AFAIK pareho lang. Why are you asking? Ang pagkakaalam ko the flexride system started cy2005.

AT owners:
Kailan ba kayo nagpalit ng Automatic TRansmision Fluid ninyo (ATF). Kailangan ko na ba papalitan sa 20tkms PMS? Yung sa checklist kasi ng isuzu sa 20tkms pinapalitan na ang Manual Trany oil eh (for manuals ha).

What did Isuzu do to your AT dmax during your 20tkms.

Please help kasi medyo malaking gastos din ito. TIA.

based on my observation, the current LS and the LX does not have the same leaf pack. dont know lang which is the same sa LS na model before. will find out next time if may mag pa change ng suspension bits sa amin.

Djerms,
