Isuzu Dmax Owners [ARCHIVED]

[wdz707]

hi,

to all dmax owners, kindly share with us your feelings and impressions with your brand new isuzu dmax.


thanks

I can't afford to buy a brand new dmax. Instead I bought a used 4 wheel drive Dmax model 2005. I bought it as is where is. Came to know later that the under chassis on the right side was damaged due to car accident. I like the performance of the Isuzu Dmax. But due to this defect on the under chassis the wheel balance can not be corrected by the computerized equipment. Is it possible to replace the whole underchassis. Where can I procure this item?

sir, i dont think meron mabibili na surplus na chassis ng d-max... kaya pala binenta ng owner the dmax... hehehehe...

sir, suggestion lang... dalhin mo sa casa ng isuzu and tell them tell your story baka meron sila magawa about ur prob... maybe repair or replace some parts, etc.. kung sira man chassis.. it wouldnt really afffect the wheel alignemnt... baka sira yun suspension or hinid maayos pagkarepair.

That can be fixed according to some of my buddies but I feel it won't be that cheap. A more expensive alternative is to change the chassis. But as jarhead already mentioned, no surplus chassis of D-Max can be bought. You'd have to BUY a BRAND NEW chassis thru the dealer.

I am uncertain of the cost but that is also expensive as fixing it --- even more + labor of replacing the current chassis with the new one. Plus, since the D-Max is CBU-Thailand, chassis would come from Thailand. So you have to factor in downtime in ordering and transporting the chassis here. Upon arrival, Isuzu Philippines would have to stamp the same chassis # as with the one currently installed on your pick-up.

I'm sorry to hear about your case. The previous owner new what he was doing. He knew that the cost of replacing / repairing the damaged chassis would cost him an arm and a leg so he opted to sell it cheap.

I'd take the unit to a well known body repair shop to have the chassis straightened or sell the unit for how much you got it. Getting a brand new chassis and transferring the old body will cost too much, and your car still won't be the same.

I like this latest iteration of the DMax better. Came from a site in Malaysia.

Can we get the grille and fit it on a 2006 model?

Nope. Not the 2005 and 2006 models. 2007~can be.




... mainly due to the headlight design, the grille and front bumper had to be changed.
