kurt, maybe its ur air cleamer... but depende narin sa color ng usok.. pinalitan na ba ang air cleaner mo b4? kc nasa 80k pms ka na...

meron nga ako nabasa sa isang preview about the chassis ng hilux kc its also been used sa fortuner... and the prob was that the chassis twisted kc the fortuner was used for off road talaga... dontknow lang kung wer but it was used literally for off road, maybe construction or wat ang gamit....

so sa robustness lamang talaga ang dmax. tipid pa sa diesel.

ung strada naman, parang nabali ung rear bed. hehe baluktot kasi eh hihi

yup bagong service, changed all filters. faint but distiinct smoke exhaust when idling. but way low naman reading nun nagpa emission test. kita ito pag nasa black background mo tignan like the rear tires.

normal lang sa diesel ang medyo may usok kahit na idling. mas madumi talaga ang diesel combustion compared to gasoline..

eh meron nga ako ng nabalitaan na bagong strada nabangga tapos nahulog sa bangin... tanggal ang engine as in literaly and nahati ang cab and the bed... and the cliff was not dat deep cgro mga 6 feet lang... hehehe...

Is that the strada na nahulog sa may Bukidnon sa Cagayan? One of our suppliers told me this last month that there was a 4x4 model na nahulog doon, shallow ditch lang beside the hi-way pero medyo malakas daw ang impact.

When they pulled it out, naiwan ang engine like it got yanked from the mounts. He said the engine separation was due to Mitsu's "breakaway design" when the car is subjected to high impact collisions, sort of like energy absorbing.

By the way, just had an underbody wash and ang kapal nga ng chassis!

**jarhead** · October 14th, 2007 01:32 PM

memps, dats a literal meaning of the "breakaway" concept.. hahahaha... saying dat doesnt mean the word literally... it means dat the engine breaks.. like the engine cover, the transmision, the drive shaft, etc and it goes under the car not thrown out like its been ripped off.. hehehe.. mas delikado yan kung buong engine matangal... pano yun hood? it would slam into the windshield if the engine would come off... hehehehe... or beak away din kaya yun hood? which is more dangerous kc baka meron ibang kotse or property madamage db? meron crumple zones ang mga rides natin and the engine engine is also designed na kung magcrash man ang ride it would break apart or it crumple to absorb the impact... but it doesnt mean dat not durable ang engines natin ngaun, it is durable but deisgned to be safe...

!Napansin ko pa sa new dmax na wala ng auxillary fan ang condenser unlike sa unang labas ng dmax at sa mga alterra's.

Yung sayo confirmed na ba na ganun din ang trouble?

Bro good news. Yung sa akin D-Max pana warranty check ko sa Isuzu Makati. Magaling mechanic doon. Naayos nila squeaking sound na nangagaling sa aircon. Sabi sa tinanggal daw nila dash board. Ang nakita yung bracket ng aircon pinangagalingan ng metal to metal na naririnig ko tuwing aabante o kaya malulubak d-max. Ayos na ala ng tunog. Baka dapat pakalas mo rin dyan dashboard para makita tunog.
