Isuzu Dmax Owners [ARCHIVED]

[x_jason_x]

pero mukang casa service all the way na ako. Mas mataas kasi ang resale value kung casa service and IMHO mas mabilis ibenta ang car kung casa service.

jarhead - thanks for the info about the sedimentor, I was about to ask the location of that too. So far wala naman akong narinig na fuel knock in my unit or my brother's Max. Indeed the EFI will detect it and can make necessary adjustments. I usually warm-up 5mins average then go na.

ian_rex - The fuel knock sound that I experienced in my '95 na Pajero was a light to moderate tapping sound (taka-taka-tak) whenever I step on the accelerator.

nakita ko yung wiring ng dmax ko na merun computer box problem...base sa nakita ko (hindi ko mapicturan at lo-tech ang camera fon ko - walang flash)...pedeng ihiwalay ang computer box at i-relocate. My initial findings seems that ang best location is under the dash board..lower left hand area (likod ng fuse box).

pagnagkaroon ako ng mas malaking free time, I will dismantle my LS carpet and will try to do this modification.

Great! If you will do it na, please take shots naman para step-by-step proceedure instructions.

guys, took this from a newspaper. philipine star.... whta ya think. no brand and no office being stated but meron contact number...

Take note lang tayo na may nakalagay na "as low as" so baka may catch .

I will call them bukas nga hehehe.

[wildthing]

maganda rin makapagcomment si sir jarhead...yung crew/technician niya sa bohol should be able to give us an opinion din....if I recall it right, the wires lang ng sensor sa sedimentor ang dapat ihiwalay dun sa bundle ng wires..

Wala pa akong experience sa Isuzu Manila but upon asking them how much the 20tkms checkup is, I was quite surprised nung sabi sakin na 8k lang compared sa iba na 12k.

Anyway, okay talaga yang si Ryan sa Isuzu pasig. Problem is, hindi naman sila ang mismong gumagawa ng sasakyan and hindi nila naiinspect mabuti. They are more on the PR side in their department.

Djerms, kung sa casa ka magpapa20T km PMS, sa Isuzu Pasig ka na. Marami ring horror stories sa Isuzu Manila. Kaso, it takes the casa 2 days to do a 20T km PMS.

may solution dyan sa mga noise ng brakes, fuel knock etc.

pakabit ng ganito and listen to your hearts content.

last pic is the sub box below rear seats.

guys, if i may suggest lang.. try niyo isuzu alabang for services.... iv heard na maganda sila sa service but not in all cases naman db... meron pa rin lapses but still reliable daw....

On the contrary sir jarhead, you may want to check out these threads:

arb,

question lang, paano na yun tools like jack etc? tinangal niyo sa original place?

kasi ako kaya ako nagpacustomize ng ported box para di na tangalin yun tools. Baka naman may way pala na hindi tatangalin yun tools. hehe.

[x_jason_x]

baka meron sainyo alam ang price ng original pillars natin (2pcs left side and right side). Balak ko kasi ipapillars yun original pillars ko.. papafabricate ko para yun tweeters dun nakalagay.

when we install tweets or tweets and midrange on the pillars we make a new pillar and let the owner keep the original one.

we have it painted to look like the real thing.

as box below the rear seats, diba ang jack and wrenches sa likod ng seats? the seats if I can remember cannot be moved or flipped, I might be wrong alam ko sa hi-lux pwedeng i flip open to get the tools.

[x_jason_x]

sa dmax kasi ang jack and tools under the rear seat.

arb, how much ba charge mo usually for a new pillar with the tweeter pad lang?

MR,
It could just be the tappets needing adjustment. Very common yan sa 4d56 engines. I had a Mitsu L200 4d56 NA. Very evident yan specially in cold starts.

Isketi,
Outside casa ako magpapa service for my 20tkms. Kayang kaya naman yan ng Autotechnika. AT kasi yung Dmax ko and i'm after their transtech machine which makes sure that all dirty ATF is replaced, unlike sa casa na conventional draining lang (30% lang ang napapalitan).

I think they will soon have the diagnostic tools for the Dmax's ECU. balitaan ko kayo.

[2Dmax]

hirap ata mangyari yan memp.... kc EFI na dmax natin the fuel injection pumo could detect if there is something wrong sa fuel... you dont need to warm it up for ten minutes.... grabe naman nun... hehehe.... and basta everytime magchange oil kayo, sabay narin drain ang sedimentor which is located underneath the chasis at the driver side....

JARHEAD,

para saan ang sedimentor? sa fuel ba yan? need ba gawin yan every oil change?

[OTEP]

Sedimentor lets sediment [usually solids and other heavier than oil liquids] settle at the bottom of the element.

[2Dmax]

newest addition to my d-max....

JERB321,

yan ang hinahanap ko. huhuhu. calling PAJ4x4!!!

The pajero had a 4m40 engine. Yup, especially first start sa morning and if you leave it parked long enough. The knocking only happened a few times and was solved by the fuel line bleeding

[Djerms]

MR,

Oh i see. We also had a 4m40 pajero and engine is a lot quieter than the previous 4d56.
