Isuzu Dmax Owners [ARCHIVED]

[zer0_ek]

hello mga boss

dmax owner din ako

kaso mejo nagkakaproblema na dmax ko,pag babad sa traffic mejo tumataas yung temp niya.

now cooling problem ito for sure,and for sure ang culprit is dirty radiator due to tap water ang gamit ko minsan or faulty thermostat,i have 04 dmax btw?

plan ko palinis sana yung rad and palitan ng oem thermostat.

now my question is meron ba kayong alam na naglilinis ng plastic top radiators and mabibilan ng oem thermostat aside casa..(mas ok if dito sa south area: alabang/laguna pero if manila area talaga ok lang rin sakin)

tried asking denso mismo but consequently, they dont clean up dmax rads daw.

I hope someone could shed some light,natatakot ako gamitin yung dmax kasi baka lumalala pa yung prob.

thanks

havent tried overhauling the dmax radiator kc most radiator shop wouldnt accept it dahil the seal is different daw. so i think its disposable talaga... try using a radiator flush den have ur system drained of water then replace it with at least 3 liters of coolant.. para naman mawala rin yun mga sediments na hindi makuha ng radiator flush...

Boss Mark, Baka pareho yan sa nagyari sa aking Dmax, Bolt ng ENgine Support ang lumuwang. Sabi ng mga taga Casa na dahil daw sa step board. Pina check ko sa third party na shop yon pala bolt ng engine support.

Pa check mo muna sa kila la mo ang reliable na shop. Ang Casa parang mga ermitanyo yan, makikinig lang yan sa sound tapos may diagnosis na, parang mga quack doctor ang mga mokong! pwede ba yon di e check pakikingngan lang mag diagnosis na....

Boss ARB, thank you pala sa tip. Napalitan ko na ang shocks ko sa harap. Pinili ko na ang Old Man Emu sa Tri J, dito sa cebu. 6,500 isa kasama na labor sa pag install.

Wala akong na feel na pagbabago. Anyway susubukan ko ito sa lunes kasi ill be going to dumaguete sa ticala valencia. hehehe Masubukan nga si EMU

sir cebu_boy13

wala ka talaga masiyado mararamdaman. pero try mo palitan yung likod. sobra laki magbabago. mga 30%. si sir arb din ngsabi sakin, nagpakabit ako ng OME sa RATS makati. tapos pinalitan ko din shackles ko. yung blot type ba tawag dun. basta hindi fix yung kabili dulo. yung stock kasi fix yung kabila. so pagganun magplay ung leaf spring. halos 50% ng tagtag nawala. mapapasin mo malaki ilalambot ng kaldag. ok na ok ang OME. sana lang matibay cya. heheh. mga 1 month plng kc skn e. hindi ko pa alam ang tibay

Hi sir ralph, i got my black Dmax LS today from BMD Motors Cabanatuan...maghapon ko ginamit hehehe sarappp...kadarating ko lang last thursday from abroad, ambilis ko nakuha hihi 2 days lang approved agad sa bank...naiuwi ko kangina after lunch...i like the interior ergos at yung midrange nya....hope to see you around the city patingin ng OME shocks mo..

[Denver Max]

Sir baka pwede mo post pic ng hitch mo ty.

[ARB]

sir maramdaman mo yan ang OME comapred to the stock shocks ang response ng front end mo, mas controlled ang up-down niyan. dont worry ralph had my OME in my TFR 4wd since 1997 up to now buhay pa.

Fellow 'Maxers' one of our owners is in need of good info about Bendix brand replacement brake pads.

He was able to purchase a set about 5 months ago but unfortunately grabe ang squeaking sound even during light braking. He had the pads examined and parang may mga tiny hair-like 'growth' on the pad surface.

Normal ba ito or is this a sign that it is fake Bendix? Is there a way for us to differentiate between the orig and imitation?

Sa mga naka purchase ng Bendix brand, do you also experience loud squeaking during braking?

Na re-surface na ang rotors nya before, same problem pa rin.

Thanks in advance

sir ask ko lang if belt driven o chain type o po ba in itech engine ng bagong dmax?

[Benzmizer]

The Global D-Max uses CHAIN.

[somar]

wow.Planning to buy another pickup. At aba syempre Isuzu paren forever!
Thats good news para saken na the Global Dmax uses chain instead na belt.
Yung 97 TFR LS 4X4 ko gear type ang ingay talagan tunog jeep. Pero hands down ako . 13 years old na sa darating na October. Na UNDOY pa bubong nalang natira buhay paren!.
Mga sirs, ang issue ko lang is ang steering ay rack and pinion naren ba? hindi na kagaya ng dati ? para kaseng pang kotse lang talaga dinesign ang rack and pinion tapus ilalagay sa pickup? Me mga issues naba regarding sa durability nito? thank you sa inputs

[kortopi]

Yes, the Rack and Pinion ORIGINATED with passenger cars BUT does not necessarily mean it can't evolve on trucks (pick-ups), SUVs and the like. Particularly the D-Max, it is R&P but bigger, heavy duty but performs like how it's known on PCs --- VERY RESPONSIVE! (vs. Ball and Nut)

Depends on where you are comparing it. I find it "ok" coming from dring a Trooper. Then again, if you feel uncomfortable with it, have it adjusted to your liking.

I used Bendix (the one with yellowish streaks on the friction material) on my old Frontier and it does squeal. I think the material they use is too hard for stock rotors. They last a long time but at the expense of the rotors. Yung sa akin numipis din ng mabuti yung rotors. Around 3/4mm.The squealing probably comes from the metal-like material when it hits the rotors. Had my rotors re-faced and bought original pads from the casa instead.
