Isuzu Dmax Owners [ARCHIVED]

[limahong]

Maybe, I am not sure sir, since I haven't seen one. I really wanted to see that limited edition and I have been to three different showrooms but I found no luck.

Regardless if it's limited edition or not, the new Dmax is really beautiful inside and out and all sides. People couldn't really help but to look at it when you pass.

what color dmmax mo.

[rna800]

Tornade Red. I bought it in Isuzu Q. Ave.

[wildthing]

you can improve your ride also if you try to lower the air of the rears (2-4 psi) than normally suggested BUT it will make the tires wear-out faster.

[rna800]

Thanks. I guess for the meantime, I will follow everything by the book.

One thing that I really want to find out is how to make my itouch work in the pioneer headunit. When I connect it to the USB cord in the glove box, it just blinks and beeps. It seems like it couldn't recognize the device. I tried asking my agent and he himself together with the technician in Isuzu couldn't make it work either. The manual is a total piece of crap.

I see. I guess I will live with that bouncy issue until the warranty expires.

If I am the driver, I really don't feel it that much, but if I am the passenger, oh goodness... I feel like I traveled from abroad.

Well, this is a truck so it should perform like a truck. Maybe when the springs get loosen, the ride will be less bouncy.

Have a look here sir: http://www.circletrack.com/techartic.../photo_08.html
You could get the adjustment done on your next PMS. Position "B" will make the ride softer and much more forgiving.

Of course lowering tire pressure will help, but to the detriment of fuel economy. Getting softer compound tires and shocks with better damping will do wonders. The leaf spring adjustment and tire change will make the ride softer and the right gas shocks should make the rear less "malikot". The Dmax is relatively comfortable for a pick up with the right adjustments.

Thanks! I wonder if they will do it in PMS.

I'm thinking of getting the Devils Own injection hehehe.

Yay or nay?

[rna800]

What do you mean by "Devils Own injection"?

[Bogan]

sir bob (srgoboy SP?) posted about it before.

Alcohol injection for our cars hehe. More power for the engine thanks too the cooling system.

[srbogoy]

Yup, posted it here before, hanggang ngayon gamit ko pa rin at very satisfied sa hp gains when activated.

Bilis ng acceleration at walang kausok-usok at kung meron man grayish white at very minimal smoke ang lalabas during injection set at 7psi boost on turbo, means very good fuel/air mixture at cleaner combustion space..

my HP now is around 175 - 184 when both Tunit and H2O/Meth injection is activated,,,hehehe bilis at magpapalit na ako ng clutch lining next year sa 4JG2-TC gagamitin ko.

Really!? Wow 175-184 horses! I think I wanna put that also in my Dmax when it gets older. For now, I am still satisfied with 146 horses.

Taken from the UKDM Isuzu D-Max a.k.a. Rodeo spec sheet:



Anyone who knows someone in UK? Pabili tayo ng pollen filter para sa mga D-Max natin.

[srbogoy]

*Jake a.k.a. memphis mustamus Bai!!! balik na sad onboard, hehehe

*rna800, started this mods on my maxx at 15K km on my odo last year, now im on 21K km reading on my odo, better start earlier bro para feel na feel mo yung nakatagong power ng maxx natin.

kailangan ko kasi ang speed dahil 2-3 times a week i travelled south of cebu, pag nasa pinas ako, nakipag unahan sa ceres liner,,,hehehe

Maybe on its 15k km too, I will see. I will just back read to know everything about that product. I haven't really felt my trucks full potential but I know its really powerful.

What is Ceres liner? Is that a bus company? I love racing with those too, add those vios and corolla cabbies. Like last night, there was this vios and corolla cab plus this honk-addict bus who thought they were kings of the road. They were weaving through traffic and unfortunately, they ruined my night by cutting me.hehe So what I did, I put my lights into bright and gave them a fight. At 100, I could really see that they're really forcing their cabbies to get faster but their HP is no match for our truck. For the bus, forget him. He didn't even get close.hehe All I heard was his engine roar and saw a thick black smoke before me and my friendly cabbies passed him.

When did you start running your truck for more than 100kph? Did you even try it prior to your first PMS? I feel that it's still premature though my agent told me that I could run up to 100 but don't stay in that speed for a long period of time.

[srbogoy]

Yup bus company ang Ceres liner, alam ni Memphis 'to..

before my first pms, binabantayan ko lang huwag lumampas ang rpm ng 3K, pero speed i didn't bother and actually ang engine na break-in na yan before leaving the test stand sa planta. sundin pa rin natin ang manual para walang hassle at after first pms praktisin mo ihataw to the floor para ma-feel mo ang lakas ng bago mong engine sa maxx mo, alam ko powerful ang engine ng bagong model na yan,,,

[rna800]

Yup, it's so powerful. I could easily catch up with cars who already had momentum on its 5th gear.

Sir, do you think additional 5 to 600kms in the required first PMS mileage is too much? My truck is already due for its 1st PMS (1500 kms), about 200 kms to go, but due to time constraints, I just don't know how to fit it in my schedule. I know, based on my experience, that it would take almost the whole day when I bring it to the casa. I am going to out of town on weekend and my total mileage will be more or less 2000 on the return.

I tried looking on the booklet and the things that they would only do on 1st PMS is to change the oil and oil filter and perform Drain Fuel Sedimentor. Others are just inspection. I also asked my agent, he told me that it's fine even if I have it serviced at 2000 kms.

[rna800]

Added question from my previous post: Is it tru that after the 1st PMS, I could already run it to whatever my desired speed? Or do I need to wait after my 2nd PMS?

[vanleano]

boss how much lahat inabot mag pa devil's own???

[Bogan]

ayan na si idol! di ko parin kaya bumili ng tunit mahal! ahahahahah so stick to devils own nalang ako. saka na tunit pag malaki laki ang extra cash. :P 74k km naman na ata dmax ko. might be even more haha.

di naman sya malakas kumain sa clutch noh? still around the same? also, how often do you fill up? lasty, ilang psi ba stock pressure ng dmax? thanks idol!
