Hi new member pa lang ako dito. kakabili ko lang ng dmax ls last week. since sa province ko lagi ibyahe ung pick-up gusto ko sana ipa undercoat ulit, safe kaya kung sa iba ko ipa undercoat at hindi sa casa? please advise. thank you.

[Memphis Raines]

Pareho lang ang undercoat outside ng casa. Ang difference lang ay ang price

Safe na safe yan bro. Just make sure they mask your body properly para di tamaan ng overspray.

Thanks for the advice memphis. My actual concern is kung baka my mabasa or mapintahan na part sa ilalim tapos masira at mavoid the warranty. hindi pa ako kasi ganun ka familiar sa dmax. pero mas comfortable na ako ngayon to do it outside ng casa. salamat bro.

I cannot for the life of me believe that Isuzu Pasig is owned by the Ayalas. In the four years of ownership of my Dmax I have yet to leave this place after getting any PMS without an elevated blood pressure.

Aside from the PMS, I got a new scratch on my front bumper, grease marks on the hood, front left and right fender, door sill and carpet. And the car was more dusty than when I brought it in. The service guy had the gall to tell me that it had been washed the day before, and that it accumulated dust because I left it there overnight. If you really washed it, how do you explain the grease on the car then? Or the dirt marks on the sides of the windshield indicating the use of the windshield washer? Good luck to me getting the grease out of the carpet.

This is just the latest entry in a long laundry list of things gone wrong in this place.

see???? another bad experience from casa... kahit anong brand, kahit anong model basta pinasok sa casa siguradong madisapoint ka ahehehe...

earlier my ride got void by its warranty, kasi casa found out na hindi daw ako nagpapa service sa kanila eversince... my ride is a two year old imv, magpapapalit lang ako ng actuator that cost(from casa)11k ahehehehe... 1stly the cost of the item is too much... hahanap na lang ako sa labas hahahaha...

point is sila lang naman ang nag benefit sa ginagawa nila hehehe... having those incompetent mechanics and service boy... no disrespect pero yun lang talaga experience ko din sa loob...

charging things na hindi mo naman na consume o ginawa ba talaga ahehehe... ang mahal pa sumingil..

at least ako sa labas pag nagpa service kita mo kinakalikot nila ahehehe..

anyway im not bragging anyone to follow kung ano practice ko... kanya kanya yan...

just my two cents ika nga ahehehehe...

pwede naman gawin 160hp ang engine ngaun ka yan ang gmait ng thailand just some adjustemnt sa computer and it can reach 160hp... but the prob would be our fuel quality dito sa pinas.. the plant people have tested doing the 160hp already and meron probs lumabas dahil sa fuel natin.. pwede naman yan gawin 160 ng isuzu but would the buyers agree that what happended sa ibang brands sa mga crdi nila would also happen sa isuzu ride nyo??? as far as i can rememeber ang isuzu crdi engines lang ang wala or very minimal malfunctions... yun iba masisira yun injection pump or bigla mamatay ng engine... and when it comes to power naman hindi naman bitin ang dmax and wala naman tayo highways like in thailand na matulin talaga... isa rin is the fuel efficiency of the vehicle... sacrificed na yun kung ipapataas pa ang HP... hindi naman nabibitin ang dmax kc kahit i have the old dmax na hindi pa crdi.. malakas naman hatak and iv overtaken the new crdi pickups on the road today... nasa driver lang yan din kc... hehehe...

Nice one jarhead! You got it right!

[Memphis Raines]

Nope, you could hardly damage anything just by undercoating. I had mine immediately done on Day 2 when mine was delivered.

Undercoats normally cover the floor boards underneath and the wheel wells. Don't worry about the engine bay.

Important note is for you to remove the spare tire when having it undercoated para maisama sa coat ang area na tinatakpan nito when mounted.

Sarap ng feeling ng new truck owner ano?

[jgvus]

Okay, make sure tanggalin ko yung spare tire pag pina undercoat ko. My previous ride was a crosswind so power wise iba talaga feel ko sa power ng dmax ang layo. And the good thing is the power almost doubled but the fuel efficiency remains the same or may be even better. thanks again for the advice memphis.

Guys, ask ko lang if me lumabas ba na DMax na mechanical injection pump pa? if so, up to when? tia

[Memphis Raines]

Oist edwin kamusta na? Wala na kasi SB eh bwehehehe.

BTT - You mean yung non-commonrail right?

[jarhead]

Guys, ask ko lang if me lumabas ba na DMax na mechanical injection pump pa? if so, up to when? tia

nope.. since lumabas ang dmax ay naka electronic injection pump na yan... kaya mag ingat tayo kc mahal yan kung ipa calibrate...

[Memphis Raines]

Ah ok, so sa Fuego series pala ang mech pump inject.

Super reliable ang Fuego kaya ngabihira ang magbenta 2nd hand nito.

[jarhead]

yup... kung meron man ibenta kahit fuego pa ay mahal pa rin... hehehehe... mas makakita ka pa ng ibang brand na pick up binibenta and lower price pa ng fuego... just talked to a customer the other week and he bought a 2nd hand fuego 4x4 which cost him 600,000... halos 2nd hand dmax price na....

[niwde11]

MR; yeah okay lang hehehe might go to cebu one of these days.
jarhead; ah okay so they are all electronic injection like the 1kzte of toyota. wala pala mechanical.
then my next question will be whats the last model before common rail?:D

[Memphis Raines]

^ Yun nga pre, Fuego series pick-ups pa, the model before the 2005 D-max.

Try to PM si alwayz_yummy kasi nakabili sila ng second hand D-max na fresh pa. Baka yung dealer na yun may Fuego trucks also.

what you mean by model?? year model?? kung year model nasa 2007 nagpalit ang dmax ng crdi engine... ang crdi lumabas nung nag change ng dmax, the old ones was like mine and memphis, srbogoy, etc... the significant change was that lifted na yun naka crdi...
