Isuzu Dmax Owners [ARCHIVED]

[tornade red]

I both my D max last year lang and wala pang 50,000 km bumigay agad yung 4 na clutch spring. Nawawala yung tunog kapag tinatapakan yung clutch. Is it a factory defect? Kasi nung sinabi ko sa kasa,di pa nila nachecheck sinabi na agad sakin yung problema e.
Di kaya under rated yung clutch versus the 3.0L na engine?
Na experience nyo na ba to? Anybody?

[wildthing]

ganyan din yung isang service dmax namin... lumalagitik.

[jarhead]

Mga sir ask ko lng po un po bang 4jh1 engine ng DMAX ay CRDI na din? Or ung 4jj1 lng ang naka CRDI.

TIA

yun 4jh1 ay hindi pa crdi but electronic narin yun fuel injection nya.. yun 4jj1 ang crdi talaga... but kahit hinid pa crdi ang 4jh1 matipid parin eto... ours would consume around 10km/l kung city and nasa 13-15 kung hiway... compare sa ibang crdi ng ibang brand ay 2.5 lang, the fuel consumption is just the same sa 3.0 ng dmax na non-crdi pa... hehehe...

mga bro...tulong nman..is it possible to convert 4x2dmax to 4x4?..tulong nman mga expert..salamat

[wildthing]

possible but not practical....

wala pang gumawa ng ganya sa DMax. Pero if I were to convert my 4x2 DMax to 4x4 ang kukuhaan ko ng "donor parts" ay probably yung LC70/prado box type - rather than an isuzu bighorn.

ayoko ng front IFS ng DMax 4x4, mas gusto ko yun straight axle, tapos yun trailing arm type na suspensions on all 4 ng LC70 ang gusto kong "upgrade" (hindi ko alam kung ganito ang sa bighorn eh).

Ang hindi ko lang alam ay kung magma-match ang tranny and transfer case ng LC70 sa DMax.

I am sure this is going to be one hell of an expensive trial and error project - with a bottomline of "not practical".

ganyan din akin..yung iba nga daw 5k pa lang palit na agad..yung parang biglang iingay yung makina..tapos pag apak clutch nawawala..tama ba???yup muka nga under rated..meron ba after market clutch for our max??lakas kasi ng makina ng max kaya unang bumibigay clutch...

[JVP]

good day po.ask ko lng po ano remedy dun sa nabanggit na ingay sa makina na nawawala pag tinapakan clutch.ganyan na din po kasi sa akin.i have 2005 dmax ls-mt.suggestions po anyone.nakakairita po kasi....

[AKA]

Many of my officemates also suffered the same fate sa dmax nila pati na rin ako. some replaced their release bearing and some yung springs sa clutch disc or something related to that.

ipinaadjust namin sa casa yung clutch. nakuha naman agad - we didn't paid any kasi "back job" yun ng isang problem pa namin sa clutch din.

Thanks Aka & Wildthing,one More Thing, May Available Po Kaya Sa Aftermarket Na Similar To Projector Type Headlamps Ng New Dmax Para Sa Old Dmax? Sa Looks Po Kasi Parang Yun Lang Ang Edge Ng New Dmax,pero Mas Pogi At Astig Pa Din Yung Concept Ng Unang Dmax.opinion Ko Lang Naman Po...

[wildthing]

I have yet to see a projector lens for our DMax model... although I have been contemplating on "converting" the stock.... yun projector lens (from another vehicle) sa mga chopchopan/surplusan sa Pulilan is around P500 each (wala pang tawad)...

kaso napaka limited ng supply, merun akong nakita kaso iisa...tsk.

another dilema would be kung gagawin yon, you will still have to remove the lens cover - which is quite very tricky to do...

tapos the cheapest HID bulb in the market is around P3500 for a pair (china yata yung pero merun 1 year warranty) being sold by a couple in grupo toyota forum.

so it would probably a P5000 project just to convert the lens to HID projector lens...

at the end of the day - BAKET??!!

parang hindi nga kailangan kasi maliwanag naman yung stock na ilaw di ba?!?

any ways, ang nakabibin kong project (aside from all the other projects ko pa na nabinbin pa rin) ay fog lamps na HID. Nakabili ako sa Capalangan ng "surplus" fog lamp assembly for P1500 pair, tapos pinakalas ko yung metal cover ng H3 bulb sa loob (kinalas muna yun lens) for free... so ang kailangan ko na lang ay budget for the HID.

ang masama nito... while contemplating on the move for an HID fog lamps, napag-isip-isipan ko, why not RELOCATE or SWAP the fogs lamps dun sa signal light position.

yun kasing current signal light (orange bulb on top of the headlight) have better lens direction which I think is better for a fog lamp....plus pag nakakiinis ang kasalubong mo at ayaw nyang is LOW ang beam niya, siguradong "bulag" siya pagsinindi mo ang fogs along with a HIGH beam (kasi eye level na niya halos yun)... lalo na siguro kung HID pa yung relocated fogs.

tapos with regards naman dun sa lower position ng signal light (pag ipinagswap), hindi pa rin naman sobrang baba nito kasi mataas naman ang dmax and there is still the sidemarker lights to add visibility for turning.

pasensya na ang kulit ng utak ko.... pero sa sobrang dami ng trabaho, hindi ko tuloy masimual at tapusin ang mga pending projects ko.

Hi, i also am experiencing the clutch noise and my d-max has just 1400km on it. i'll have it check at the dealer. Because every morning when i start i the nois is very evident but when i step on the clutch the noise is gone.

What did you do to your max with this problem?

[wildthing]

according dun sa casa (dun ko kasi ipinaayos), they just have to adjust the clutch settings kasi parang (duda ko lang) tumatama yung springs sa isang moving metal part - kaya umiingay

[JVP]

Pumasok Na Din Sa Isip Ko Yung Mga Ideas Mo Wildthing,kaya Lang Maganda Cguro (medyo Magastos Nga Lang) ,bili Ka Na Muna Sa Capalangan Ng Stock Na Headlight Ng Dmax,tapos Yun Ang Pagpraktisan Mo Para Kung Di Maganda Kalabasan You Still Have Your Orig Headlights.yung Sa Signal Light Naman Pwede Yun Ilipat Cguro,kaya Lang Hid Dapat Kasi Baka Umitim Lens Kapag Fog Lamp Di Ba?
