Isuzu Dmax Owners [ARCHIVED]

[ARB]

with any timer pwede gawin. we have installed miccon, haken, type r, apexi, hks, fet others cant remember the brand.

[OTEP]

Dun sa Pajero ni KCboy, pwede na namin iwan yung unit while counting down. The doors are locked immediately and the system will be armed after shut off.

[wildthing]

Just an update the problem with the LX unit that we have still remained the same (sudden check engine light turns on and the engine shifts to a high idling and no response on the throttle).

Apparently, even after the computer box was cleaned (from the putik ng flashflood) e ganun pa rin.

So far, theoretically, it was not the TPS (throttle pressure switch? siguro) and it was not the computer box.

I'd be awaiting the reply of ISUZU plant na - beyond CASA na malamang ang warranty claim dito....

[ian_rex]

naku sir, di kaya yung computer box mismo e palitin na? nilinis lang ba? kasi yung sedan nang friend ko, ganyan din- nabaha tapos nagloko. ayun ecu ang problema.

baka naman meron kayong workshop manual dyan for DMax/Rodeo. ang tagal ko na kasing naghahanap nun e. sa chilton's kaya or haynes meron na kaya? baka meron kayong alam mga sir, patulong naman.

thanks!

[wildthing]

I hope not, kasi the problem started way back as early as April/May...hindi pa tag-ulan nun.

We can't be sure if replacing the computer box will do the trick, I have volunteered the temporary "swap" of the computer box ng LS ko sa LX unit na yun so we can see if it resolves the problem....problem, naka security code lock pala ang computer box natin, you can simply swap it to one another...kailangan ng security code from the ISUZU planta (as per CASA service advisor).

[ian_rex]

oo nga sir. sana wag naman ECU. malaking gastos yun e. salamat sa heads-up concerning sa problema nang DMax LX nyo sir. baka naman accelerator cable? pero hindi e. bakit biglang iilaw yung check engine indicator?

sige sir, antabayanan namin yung mga developments.

Ako my ECU lights up ocassionaly every after loading up fuel. It happened to me 2x na siguro. But upon re-starting the rig, ok naman na.

Have your fuel lines checked kaya...not sure tho if this is related.

hindi kaya napasukan ng tubig ung fuel line or maybe the fuel filter?

DMax AT guys,
Ask ko lang kung pinalitan ba ang ATF sa tranny ninyo nung 20tkms. Sa isuzu manila kasi every 40tkms ang palit nila. Sa Isuzu Pasig naman every 20tkms daw. Ang labo naman ng standards nila.

Anyway sabi naman ng Autotechnika para ngang masyadong maaga ang 20tkms for changing the ATF. Sa kanila ang standard is 35tkms.

I'm thinking, baka power steering ang pinalitan using the ATF kaya may nagrereflect sa billing. Kasi 4liters lang ang ginagamit nilang ATF considering na 9liters ang capacity ng tranny natin.

Ano po ba ang nakasulat sa manual? sorry my manual is not with me right now.

Thanks.

[cardo]

hey guys,

how much is a 2nd hand dmax nowadays? 2005 model? 800k?

[Djerms]

Cardo,
Last time I checked its around 850k for an AT dmax.

Guys,
Sa manual natin tuwing kailan ang palit ng ATF. Dexron III ang ATF natin diba?

[Djerms]

Sa Isuzu Pasig, Edsa, and Makati = 20tkms ang palit ng ATF
Sa Isuzu Manila and Commonwealth = 40tkms ang palit ng ATF

Ano ba talaga koya!???

[2Dmax]

may nakapagpa-tune up (valve clearance adjustment) na ba sa inyo sa autotechnika? maganda ba ang service?

how about ung hub bearing grease repack? sa PMS kasi natin it indicates every 30,000 km..

djerms, its 20k and precautionary measure yan dahil sa gamit natin d2 sa pinas and also sa climate natin d2... we noticed kc sa 40 the oil looses a bit of its color na and turns to light balck color... iv asked narin from a plant personel dati sa engineering dept nila... better daw sa 20k. the earlier the better kc mejo hitech daw ang trans natin sa isuzu...

pre, dami naman ng trans oil mo.. 9 liters.. usually 3-4 liters lang yan... engine na ata ang 9 liters na capacity....

Thanks for the advice jarhead.

9 liters ang magagamit if I will be using the transtech machine which sucks out 99% of the ATF in the tranny. Pero sa casa, since drain lang, 3-4 liters lang ang nagagamit kasi hindi natatanggal yung atf sa torque converter.

I'll undergo the drain replacement nalang muna this 20tkms then the transtech at 40k para ubos lahat ng old atf.

[jarhead]

hindi naman necessary ipa suck ang oil tlaga sa trans.. as long as its replaced ng every 20k kilometers.. ok lang... what i did sa trooper namin is drain then i let it hang sa lifter namin and put it on drive.. it wil cause the oil to flow also but for a while lang pina run sa drive...

[Memphis Raines]

Guys since your on the topic na, ok lang ba if you decide to do a drain (either engine or tranny) overnight?

My Dad used to do this before. He would open the plug in the evening then just leave it dripping overnight sa garage, fill-up in the morning nalang, that way mas marami daw ang matatanggal.

Yan nga din inisip ko. For as long as 20tkms ang palit, it will be fine. Pero Praning ako sa mga ganyan kaya I want the transtech at 40tkms. hehe.

pwede rin naman memps but the same story lang kung pinadrip mo ng 30 minutes or more, and let it drip lang for a while mga 30 minutes...hindi naman talaga necessary ipadrain whole night... as lang as 80% of the oil is being drained and replaced ng bew oil.. and baka meron pa papasaok sa engine mo na mga insect or dirt or ano p dyan....
