Isuzu Dmax Owners [ARCHIVED]

[kurt]

checked my receipts, dec 2004

total bill 12,617. repair camber & caster = 2,200.

i dont really know if the solution to my condition of "kabig" to one side is a camber and caster repair, but in my old car wheel alignment lang sya sa servitek.

i believe you will only do a camber and caster repair on really old cars with nearly 100,000kms on it. not on a 7 month old pickup (pang heavy duty db) with 20,000kms milage. i felt like a sucker approving that job. to this day i doubt they really did a "camber and caster job".

well thats in the past. im really glad now i have a choice to have my dmax repaired at shops where i feel i got my money's worth. plus peace of mind they did excellent work.

kurt--- camber and caster are needed by the dmax kc hindi na yan tulad ng dati na bolt and nut lng gagamitin.. meron yan spacer or shim ang tawag nila.. yup its needed specially wen parati gingamit.. meron wear and tear sa old shim kc... u nid 2 shim to adjust the camber and 1 shim for the caster... check ur alignment kung kakapig pa ba wen uron the road.. choose a road na flat talga hindi yun parang nak tagilid...

[jarhead]

djerms, pwede guro mag EB kung taga visayas rin kayo. hehehehehe...

[jarhead]

mga pare, post up pics of your dmax naman para maikta naman natin...

[OTEP]

Talagang may shim for adjusting camber. Sinaunang panahon pa lang ganun na talaga. Parang glorified washer lang siya. I don't know how you could wear one out so quickly, though.

Ten years old na ibang sasakyan namin dito, hindi pa namin ginagalaw iyang camber. Madalas kasi lalo lang nagkakandalokoloko.

Mga pre,

pano ba magpost ng pix dito? my insert mpicture kc na icon kaso URL pa hinahanap. post ko kasi picture ng DMAX ko d2..

[2Dmax]

Mga tol!

My alam ba kayo na DMAX na binebenta for around 500K php. Ung bayaw ko kasi naghahanap and his budget is limited to such amount? siempre gusto namin ung in good condition and hindi pa nababangga. mhirap na baka nahulog na pala sa bangin ung DMAX na un..

hehe. sana meron..

Jason,

here's a crappy pic sorry, took it with camera phone



Buti naman may data na ang goodyear serviteks sa dmax. haba talaga pila sa casa pag wheel aligments and stuff...

djerms,
not sure on the cost of ecu diagnosis. last time I had this diagnosis was with my galant waaayyyy back in 2001 It was because it had somesort of engine hesitation but I forgot how much it cost me. root cause? fuel mixed with water. try to check out the amount of work on the 20k PMS. I am not familiar with it. if its minor like visual inspection and normal change oil, i think a similar shop can preform this at a lesser cost.

glad to know the bendix pads are working great. i will replace mine with these also and try them out.

[wildthing]

masyado pa yatang mababa ang P500k for a dmax.

[2Dmax]

mga TOL,

sa palagay niyo ba bagay ung 2DIN na LCD motor sa Dmax natin?

[jarhead]

cardo, wer did u get ur grill? ganda ah....

[Djerms]

Jarhead,

I like your window tints!

[jarhead]

djerms--- platinum lng yan na super dark magic neutral.... but im planning palitan ng super black.. hehehehe... parang bakya kc tingnan ang tint na silver eh... hehehehehehe.....

[cardo]

Jarhead, I got it from isuzu cavite. went there for pms one time, saw an unpainted grill... and had it installed the next day.

I don't have a clear pic on my pc on the wheels... this is the best i have i think. kinda old though...

[2Dmax]

ang gaganda ng mags nyo ah. sa akin sock pa rin ang mags. hehe. masyado kasing mahal e. ang balak ko kasing isunod is ung DOUBLE DIN (2DIN) na Pionner LCD. ayaw ko kc ng 1DIN lang..

[2Dmax]

mga pre,

please comment on this one. heto talaga gusto ko. sa palagay niyo ba magfi-fit to sa DMAX.. and san kaya puedeng bumili nito at a reasonable price?

[cardo]

2dmax, thats a nice HU! go for it. available yan sa banawe. masmahal pa yan sa mags and rubber ko

[2Dmax]

nyaahh! sana naman hnggang 70K lang yan. nag-search kasi ko sa internet sabi dun around less than $1000 lang daw. So mga 55 taw php lang un. meron naman AVT brand kaso taiwan yata un. gusto ko kasi branded e..

Kayo ba what mas prefer ninyo, 1DIN or 2DIN na LCD monitor?

[cardo]

more or less around that price I guess. mahal talaga yun AV setup. but the wow factor that you get from peeps is priceless kabitan mo ng PS2 or the new xbox 360, and then get the pioneer ipod integrator.

not sure lang though if you can access the videos on the ipod video... but it would be so cool if it could! nawala na ako sa setup scene for a couple of years hehehe so I dont know the new capabilities now.

1 din or 2 din si ok for me. i guess depends na lang sa features.
