Isuzu Dmax Owners [ARCHIVED]

[jarhead]

but i guess it would differ din sa gmit mo... if parati lng short trip ang bnabyahe mo.. malamang madali lang masira batt kc kulang sa charge lang yan.. but kung parati long trip tatagal cguro... matibay din yun motolite na gold ata yun.. thats what we used sa mazda pick up namin dati.. 2 years namin ginamit yun til nabenta hindi ko pa napalitan... hehehehe....

[isketi]

I've been using Motolite Excel maintenance free ever since. Lasts me 3 years on average. Wala namang lumobo sa mga naging battery ko. Pag kabit, forget!

Guys,

Gusto ninyo mag-EB this saturday? Morning para iwas traffic. Very casual EB lang for Dmax peeps! Say Ortigas area?

[ian_rex]

i figured that, a battery life would last longer when most of your driving are done during the day.

[Djerms]

Ian_rex,
Ang galilng mo naman! Pati ito napapansin mo. hehe.

Kamusta na kaya bodyrepair ni Kurt? He textd me last time, nasabitan yata siya ng isang dmax din sa door. Hope repairs turn out well.

[ian_rex]

djerms, actually, ganun ka-close ko namomonitor yung mga sasakyan sa amin. hehehe. no actually, based on experience din. yun lang kasi ang pinakabisyo ko e. magbuting-ting. as for the battery, it figures. less load(electrical, that is) means longer battery life. at sabi din sa akin nang isang friend ko na dating natrabaho sa outlast, pag bago ang batterya, dapat di muna gamitin sa pag jumpstart nang sasakyan na weak ang batterya. kasi masisira mga plates at iiksi lang ang buhay nang batterya.

isa pa pala. alam nyo ba yung plastic cover sa engine bay, yung kulay gold na nakapaibabaw sa valve cover? pag inalis yun, mas less ang rattling sound nang makina. i figured its because hindi masyado nagre-resonate yung engine noise.

[jarhead]

ano ba nangyari sa dmax ni kurt? sa akin nga nagasgas ang front bumper kc my bro used it and nahirapan cya sa isang parking sa mall and mejo masikip ang driveway, hindi nya napansin tumama na pala sa wall ang bumper... kawawa dmax ko... but nabunggo ko rin sa iasng lamp post ang rear bumper ko kc hindi ko napansin while i was backing up... hehehehe...

[kurt]

wala pa results insurance ng other party, pero cooperative naman sya. as long as ganito treatment sakin no hard feelings. (my vehicle was on-street properly parked and un-attended, it was a wide street good enough for 4 vehicles to pass along without problems, with no rushing traffic and yet his rear (and extended) bumper hit my left rear door while backing out of his parking)

repair est ko from i.pasig is upto 30k. my gosh. calling for the complete replacement of the door panel na 20k++.

yeah right, like the other party's insurance will approve of this. i think a high price range of 7-8k from a 5star body repair will be satisfactory.

ps-ot
last night a taxi clipped the left side rear bumper of my corolla. he swerved from 2 lanes to my left to before the concrete barrier dividing vehicles going to plaza dilao and nagtahan. i was going to nagtahan, he was on the lane going to plaza dilao til the last moment he also decided to go to nagtahan. again swerving to my lane and hitting me.

2 hits using 2 different cars in less than 1 week or 5 days apart. both times i was not the cause both times damage to the cars might be extensive or costly but can be corrected perfectly or even replaced and no injuries to anyone.

always practice defensive driving. will always give thanks to Jesus for blessings like these.

thanks

[jarhead]

papalitan ba door mo kurt? ok lang yan basta irepair and mabalik sa dati and cooperative naman ang nakabangga sayo and basta no comment lang siya kung darating na ang time ayosin ang dmax mo..... eh insurance nya naman magbayad nyan eh.. papalitan mo nalng ang door... hehehehehe.......

[Djerms]

Kurt,
Ganyan talaga pag minamalas. Nangyari na sakin yan to the point na nakakapraning na magdala ng sasakyan. Anyway dont forget to have your vehicles blessed pala...bigla ko lang naalala.

Ian_rex,
Thanks for the tip sa engine cover. Matagal ko na gusto tanggalin yun. Paano ba? It looks sooo cheesy!

Ipagpatuloy mo ang pagbubutingting at nang mas marami ka pa maipamahagi samin!

[engr. bong]

hey dudes!
ask ko lang if anyone of you knows when will the new Dmax arrive here? i was about to buy na sana nung dmax 4x2 LS dito sa isuzu alabang, then i heard meron na daw lalabas na bagong model. this year kaya lalabas or sa 2007 pa? help mga pards! thanks

[cardo]

anyone has tried fitting mud tire to their dmax's?

anong size pede? yun same size with the stock tires

[Djerms]

Engr. Bong,
Boss wala pa pong definite date. Actually we are not sure yet if they will be bringing in the current Dmax available in Thailand now (CRDi version) ot the new facelifted Dmax with hoodscoop.

IMO, its still worth buying the current dmax. Engine power is more than adequate for its size and weight. But if you really want the CRDi version, GO FOR IT!

Yahoo may potential buyer na tayo ng CRDi version!!! Tulo laway namin!

[Djerms]

Cardo,

4x2 lang kasi dmax ko. I dont think its worth slapping in MTs.

[cardo]

I just want it for the looks hehehe

[jarhead]

the one that we are using here sa pinas is the export model na dmax... its the one being used sa autralia, euro countries, pinas... thailand model is different from what we are using.. yung alterra pa ang meron malaki chance mapalitan next year... and no news for a new dmax pa.... the one being threaded in this website is the thailand model daw.. mejo mahirap daw yan mapunta d2...

[jarhead]

guys, just heard that ang demo unit na dmax sa delearship d2 sa cebu ay binagga ng innova.. galit toyota satin ah... hehehehe... joke lang.... but seriously.. sira daw angleft side ng dmax kc inararo ng innova.. sabi nila ginawa daw brake ang dmax ng innova... sira naman din ang innova.. kawawa yung owner ng innova.. malamang malaki bill nun dmax kc owned by the casa.. for sure palit yun lahat ng parts nasira... hehehehe...

[ian_rex]

*djerms, hinihilala lang pataas yun. remember to be careful. may mga rubber rings yun. i wonder, para saan yung plastic na yun.


*cardo, sir, i don't think its a good idea. your fuel consumption might suffer. pero don't know for sure. kasi sa bike, pag nag-off road tires ka, pagdating sa pavement, hirap padyakan e. e ang nipis lang nun. how much more kung kasing lapad nang gulong nang dmax.

[jarhead]

mud tires? yun ba yun malaki and makapal ang rubber niya? eh mabigat yan patakbohin ah... and maingay also..... madali rin pudpurin....

[Djerms]

Guys,
May remedy ba sa busina ng DMAX? Ang tigas pindutin sa steering wheel eh. By the time nagbusina ako nakalagpas or nalagpasan ko na yung binubusinahan ko. hehe.
