Isuzu Dmax Owners [ARCHIVED]

[Memphis Raines]

Well as I said, things like these really happen so it's a matter of informing the dealer outlet. We should demand that they give us any lacking parts.

I took out all my seat bolt covers since they just get kicked around when they come loose. I remove my rear seat/bench whenever I change my seat covers since it makes it a whole lot easier to tie them down plus I get to vacuum more efficiently.

I bought my back up sensor at dz racing in Banawe. Forgot the brand and model but I think you can place any brand. The price before was 2,000 I think for 2 pcs of sensors.

hello po sa lahat..

Sir rna800, thanks po sa upload instructions.

[romel.krypton]

heto po yung fender guard ko. Fender guard pala to ng previous model. Kaso wala ako choice kasi nabili ko na. Medyo disappointing lang kasi ang laki ng Gaps.. hindi sya fit.

Konti advise din sa may balak magpakabit ng fender guard. Pls wag nyo ituloy. Mababago kasi yung higpit ng bolts nito, then mapansin nyo nalang na yung Fender bubuka at magkarun ng GAP yung fender at body . Kailangan gamiton na naman ng Epoxy para maayos.

[romel.krypton]

this is my T-red dmx. Nilagyan ko ng Body Cladding thinking na lalo pa sya gumwapo. Kaso lang after installing, parang walang impact. Pogi na kasi..hehehe Sayang, 15T pa naman ang charge ng carryboy dito sa Cebu sa Body cladding.

[romel.krypton]

next project ko po Back up sensor, kaso ang hirap maghanap dito sa Cebu. Ang mahal pa.

*romel.krypton: Your truck looks good! You should have taken more pictures of your truck, like shots from all sides.hehe On the first picture, what is that device? Turbo timer? Whew... that fender guard looks like a disaster. With that gap, if I were you, I would just take it off. I should have put a headlight cover too but I didn't proceed since I felt that it looks good with or without cover. It looks so nice though. Now I am starting to think if I will put one in mine.hehe I laughed when I read about the body cladding.hehe Yup, you're right our truck looks good already even without those. Sir, have you seen the grille of the Dmax UK version that was posted by sir Memphis Raines? Are you planning to change your grille too? Though the grille of our Dmax looks good already, I am thinking of replacing it with that kind. I saw the Dmax 4x4 Boondock when I went to the motor show in World Trade and I loved it. I managed to find a picture exactly what was displayed in the PIMS.



In your opinion, do you think that grille would look good in our red trucks?

guys, I am a new dmax 4x4 AT owner kaso used lang binili ko in exchange for my strada gen2 kc d ko talaga ma gustuhan ang new strada for so many reasons. I bought it for 800t w/ a very reasonable mileage and based on my readings here from old postings an '04 dmax at 4x4 was priced 1.310 m brand new. Was it a good price if not ganun ba mag depreciate ang isuzu brand. And 1 more question what's the difference between the '08 model and '04 model sa 4x4 AT of the specs? thanks for the reply.

[romel.krypton]

sir rna800 thanks po sa comment. I managed to take some pictures yesterday kasi wala work. I will post some pictures soon.
Anyway, yung first picture ko is a Turbo timer. I got it from the casa, actually nag karun ng konte problem yung pinaglagyan nito. Medyo hindi masyado aligned yung dashboard after the installation. Kahit anong gawin ng technician, ayaw talaga bumalik sa original.
I will post a picture tomorrow para makita nyo. And hopefully, hindi maranasan ng iba yung na experience ko.
Regarding dun sa Front grill, actually ang ganda sana palitan. But I still love my existing grill. Actually sir, meron nang tumatakbo dito na ganyan ang front grill. I saw two units and na starstruck talaga ako. I asked my SA, but he has no idea what I mean.
I made some investigations and I learned that the two Dmax are part of the service units of the Atlas Mining Corp. They got more than 50 units na Dmax LT .
Sir rna800 if you got one of these grills, pls let me know how much. Para mapag iponan.

[rna800]

*juneljrGLS'05: I think 800k for an 04 Dmax is reasonable enough considering that it's a 4 year old car and the Global Dmax is already released with a stronger engine, face lifted look and redesigned interior. For the comparison between an 04-07 Dmax and 07 to current Global Dmax, try these links:

Enjoy!


*romel.krypton: If I managed to find time to go from shop to shop for that grille, I would inform you on the price. 50 units of LT!? Do you happen to know if all those 50 units are Global Dmax or the previous? Wow! They are really Isuzu lovers or perhaps Isuzu is just reliable that's why. I think only the 4x4 model has that grille.

romel, bai sa tri-j basak mambaling ako nagpakabit ng back-up sensor ko, 2 pcs sensor 1500 php ata yun 1 year na at dikit lang sa rear bumper.

hanapin mo lang si jay para makadiscount ka...madaling kausap at anak ng may-ari, sabihin mo lang nirefer kita yung white dmax na taga greenhills..

Sir/s, with the engine specifications of 08 Dmax, do you think it could match the speeds of its competitors in terms of speed, same 4x2 category but regardless if it's M/T or A/T? Let's say in NLEX, end to end. I noticed that in terms of HP, the Dmax tops in that category but with the 294 nm of torque compared to 314(Strada), 330(Ford) and the 356(Navara), it clearly says it's the weakest in that segment. Their HPs are not that far so I think if I see one of those vehicles on the road and try to feel a little adrenalin rush, I might eat their dust.hehe Though I know pickups are not meant for racing, sometimes I wanna give the engine a little exercise.hehe

I have both a 4x2 Dmax A/T and a 4x2 Navara A/T. I think the Dmax can beat the Navara in acceleration up to a certain point, but when the revs are maxed out the Navara will eventually overtake the Dmax. The Dmax feels more responsive at low rpm.

An entirely different story in the 4x4 segment though. Malakas talaga ang power ng 4x4 Navara, feels like a freight train is pulling it.

[rna800]

*Memphis Raines: Nice pics! The last photo, is that your truck?hehe

*Wh1stl3r: Yup, the 4x4 Navara is a very powerful truck. I can't just imagine how it feels driving a truck with a 174 hp and 403 Nm of torque considering that I find the 4x2 Dmax powerful already. Have you tried driving both trucks to their maximum speeds? I saw in the Navara forum that one owner there drove his truck up to 190 kph. That is really something. I haven't tried the maximum speed of my truck but someone told me in this forum that it's like up to 165 and from that point, it will start to crawl its way to 170.

I had my emission test done kanina...2004 model Dmax (so it's 4 years old).... may reading yung machine na NO SMOKE DETECTED kahit nirerev ang pick-up.... akala nung machine hindi nakakabit ang smoke sensor hehehe....

it's not even casa maintained na.... nearly 120,000km (last change oil was 105,000km)... too busy lagi kong nalilimutan hehehe

[wildthing]

siguro nakakatulong din yung paghihigh speed ko lagi (at nearly 4000 rpm) sa nlex kaya hindi nagkaroon ng carbon deposit sa pipe.

[romel.krypton]

romel, bai sa tri-j basak mambaling ako nagpakabit ng back-up sensor ko, 2 pcs sensor 1500 php ata yun 1 year na at dikit lang sa rear bumper.

hanapin mo lang si jay para makadiscount ka...madaling kausap at anak ng may-ari, sabihin mo lang nirefer kita yung white dmax na taga greenhills..

srbogoy; bai thanks a lot sa recommendation mo. Puntahan ko agad ang tri-j next week. Interested din ako baka may mga other accessories din sila.
Salamat bai

[Memphis Raines]

rna800 - not mine bro I found that in a New Zealand/Australia site. That is actually an LX variant as we will notice that the side mirror, door handles, side moldings are black, not chrome. The black truck is outfitted with an ARB bumper. Machong-macho

wildthing - regular high-speed runs will really help you blurt out diesel exhaust deposits which pays big dividends like your emission tests. I'm sure yung kay Srbogoy sobrang linis nyan

Romel/Srbogoy - mag EB na kayo mga bai! Open pa rin ang invitation ni Jarhead sa atin sa Bohol

[jarhead]

sir,Wh1stl3r turbo charged na ba ang navara?? malaks talaga ang navara interms of HP, but i dont know lang y nissan just put up a 2.5 engine on both, the engines are identically the same but the hp are different... but a very big gain in hp for a 2.5 engine... sana yun 3.2 nalng nilagay sa 4x4 and just put out a 140+ hp... nakapag refer narin ako ng mechanic sa casa and they too where confused and wondering if the 4x4 engine would last long wiht that torque and hp, baka daw sometime soon bibigay mga parts... hehehehe..... as for the d-max kahit yun non-crdi pa sa akin, ok na na ok lang... pwede mo lagayn ng chip llike srbogoy and garners another 10-20hp and considering its engine build and specs... kakayanin ang 20hp gain...
