I agree with sir Benzmizer, from personal experience having driven bought dmax and hilux at high speed the diffirence not that big to outrun the dmax

That is the indicator for your vehicle's Water Separator. (see attached photo)



Please refer to your Owner's Manual.



I would recommend you bring it to an authorized ISUZU dealer and have the water drained. No worries my friend.

may bag0ng 2010 isuzu dmax x series pala sa thailand..kailan na naman dalhin ng isuzu phil d2 yan sa pinas?? ang tagal ng isuzu to release new models..dapat mag release na sila ng new model with new engine..isuzu is behind da competition na sa pick-up segment..no offence to isuzu owners..pero dmax is the weakest pick-up in the market...durable nga lng ung engine..pero wen it c0mes to perf0rmance bitin..palaging na iiwan sa highway..low hp low nm of tourque...sana ung bag0ng president ng isuzu gumawa na ng paraan to compete against nissan navara, mitsu strada, etc.

owning a isuzu like myself, like you said laging naiiwan sa highway...is something you should live with. talagang ganun ang isuzu ayaw nila makipag compete particularly to speed. they are more business oriented, less fuel expenses, and engine that lasts forever..well, hope so.

guys I bought a 2008 model dmax last month now I used mainly for going to office. Last Sunday we went to divisoria we experience super heavy traffic in slex for about 3 hours when we reached Alabang flyover we smell burned tire inside the cabin I thought it was coming from big truck and buses. After arriving at 168 mall we checked where the smell is coming I pop the hood there it is. Can anyone has experience this. Thanks you.

kortopi: sir, manual transmission ba dmax mo?? if so, baka clutch yan kung automatic naman... iba yan kc hindi naman mangangamoyy ng ganyan ang automatic... unless the brakes are stuck so, it rubs and grinds against the rotor or drum brakes..

Is a pick-up a race vehicle?[/SIZE]

A web definition of a pick-up truck:

"A pickup truck (or pick-up truck or simply pickup) is a light motor vehicle with an open-top rear cargo area (bed) which is almost always separated from the cab to allow for chassis flex when carrying or pulling heavy loads."

..... I don't know if it's just my eyes but I can't seem to find the word "race" in that definition....

[metal_rosie1973]

kung laos naman kc ung pick-up mo at mahina umarangkada at walang ibubuga syempre hindi mu un e race sa ibang pick-ups..hindi naman araw2 mag haul ka ng pick-up mu eh..bibili ka ng pick-up pra mag enjoy at hindi bitin humataw kasama na un ang satisfaction sa performance ng pick up mo..well i still gve props to the dmax wen it c0mes to offroad very capable naman ang dmax sa offroad..pero u cnt go offroading everyday magsasawa ka din sa kaka offr0ad mag isa mo..the butt0m line is the dmax is behind the competi0n and no offence the weakest pick-up out in the philippine market.

May I ask what is your basis to conclude that the ISUZU D-Max is "laos" and the "weakest pick-up in the market". The brochure and it's specifications? Just mere HP rating indicated there? I hope you have more proof to prove this "theory" because I'm not sold with it... nor most of the guys reading this thread.

Oh, since you mentioned it, you give credit to the D-Max for its off-roading capabilities (which you can't do daily) and give so much hype on Navara and Ranger's "TOP SPEED" performance..... i wonder, do you also "race" your pick-up everyday too? I guess not. This is where I drive my point wherein with the D-Max, you get a not-so-impressive 190kph speed (weakest in the market) and an impressive off-roading capabilities. Ain't that getting the best of both worlds?

I have a 2010 Dmax LS. During the election period I'll squeeze in 10 people in my bed and another 7 in the cabin, to make things worse I'll drive in unpaved roads and steep inclines for 5-6 hours a day with all these 17 people on board for almost a month. I've also driven my pick up * speeds of 190kph, although I was travelling * 160 kph in Albay and a strada effortlessly overtook me - my bed was fully loaded that time with 6 people in the cabin, fair enough! The best part is I still have enough in my tank at the end of the day.

[jarhead]

and sir benz, may i add konte sa sinabi mo... kung laos or weakest or pinkaa=pangit ang dmax.. why then you could see new models of other pick up (crdi) brand being towed sa hiways rather than the dmaxes...

[Benzmizer]

Thanks for the added testimonials jgvus and jarhead.

Anyway, I ran across this "LAOS" display of the D-Max from this year's Bangkok Motorshow:



.... and for sure other brands would not have the thought of doing this to their "fashionable" pick-ups.

Oh, thought of sharing this video clip of a "WEAK" Chev/D-Max:

... I bet all other brands can easily (and would have the guts) to do this to their pick-up.

hello. i'm a newbie dmax owner so please bear with me.

i have two questions.

1. i read sa manual you have to step on the clutch before starting the ignition (even if the pickup is on neutral). is it really necessary?

2. when starting daw a deisel engine like dmax, we have to wait several minutes for the engine to get warm before driving it? how long exactly? and gaano katagal di napa andar ang pickup before performing this 'ritual' again?

thanks talaga sa tulong and sorry if medyo 'dumb' ang mga questions ko. if there are also links to websites na me tips how to take proper care of my dmax, i'd really appreciate it.

one of the dumbest post ever :tvcomedy:

weakest pick-up? damn where is your brain.

pick-ups aren't made for speed. have you seen pick ups racing in macapagal? i suggest you go back to elementary, maybe you can contribute a more intelligent post here after. (or maybe you're still in elementary)
