Isuzu Dmax Owners [continued]

[Angeloy]

good day to all, has anyone here naka experience sa fuel gauge problem? my fathers dmax has been running on fulltank pero ang gauge nasa Emtpy na and nag on na ang sensor....nag ask na kami sa casa regarding the problem pero sabi nila, kailangan daw e replace ang whole assembly sa tank floater and malaki kasi cost...around 20-30K daw.... Sana merong maka tulong sa problem and it would be great if meron dito alam kung ano ang dapat palitan and kung saan pwde bumili ng parts....province kasi location namin. Thank you

*Angeloy: Mine has a fuel gauge problem too. Pinost ko na dito un, way back in 2011 pa ata. Same thing that the dealership told me, it is the floater that needs to be replaced and it costs in that ball park figure that you have mentioned.

Ang difference lang natin sir, ung akin whenever I fill up, the needle will not go all the way up even if I tell the gas boy to fill it all the way up. The needle will stop under the very first/top line of the fuel gauge. But whenever I park it on a tilted or on an inclined road, lalo pag ung back part ng car ang nasa taas, the needle will go beyond the first line. Siguro dahil ung floater ay naitutulak ng gas pataas. But since it is not causing me any problems, I never bothered having it fixed.

In your case that it is reaching the point where the fuel light appears, that might be a different story. Kasi baka hindi na nadidetect ng sensor ang fuel mo kaya nag iilaw na siya. If I were you, I will just let the dealership repair that, the price might be steeper but at least you have more peace of mind. Pwede mo ding ipagawa sa iba kaso hindi ka naman sure sa workmanship nila, baka mas lalo pang magkanda sira sira Dmax mo.

*rna800 good day to you sir, just went to the dealership just to double check, so confirmed talaga na its the sender unit/float ang problema. Before the needle was on the half mark pero ngayon empty na talaga...The tech said that the 30k includes the whole assembly togethr with pump..we will try to ask around maybe there are shops that sell replacement parts...but if wala then balik dealership talaga...

Kailangan mag source out, sir, kaysa magpa goyo tayo sa stealership na hindi daw pwedeng ipalinis kasi ang tanging at kaisa isang solution lang na alam nila ay palitan ang EGR.hehe

Hehe.... Tumpak idol! ;)

Kung ito ilalagay nila, I would pity IPC. They would surely disappoint their core buyers. Parang 2.5 VNT Hilux lang yan. They have to benchmark what is in the Ranger and Colorado.

O baka naman 2.5 2.5-litre 4JK1-TC engine for the 4x2, then the 3.0-liter 4JJ1-TCX engine for the 4x4.

Harinawa'y chief yung 4JJ1-TCX engine na sana ang inibigay this time sa atin.... Kumbaga "Wish Ko Lang" ang dating. Tiyak na tiyak Isuzu D-max pa rin bibilhin ko kahit pa mas maganda sa paper specs ang Ranger 3.2 o Colorado 2.8. Ngayon pa na tinalo niya ang Ranger kahit pa yung 3.2 at lahat ng iba pa sa recent 4x4 pickup comparison sa Australia ;)

Kaso malakas kutob ko na baka yung 2.5 4JK1-TC single VGT lang ang ibibigay (kutob ko lang naman).... So far sa history, never na naging "better" ang D-max natin sa Pinas compared sa mga karatig natin na SE Asian countries na mas malapit sa Thailand....

Better if Isuzu would divulge what is incoming so that the loyalists will know. Marami nag iisip bumili ng Ranger at Colorado but are just being held kasi hindi pa matapatan ang reliability and fuel economy ng Isuzu.

Napakahina talaga ng Isuzu dito sa Pilipinas when it comes to offering what should be its "better" products that are offered elsewhere unlike compared to Mitsubishi Philippines na madami nabubulag hehe.... Masaya na ang Isuzu na bumenta at nasa Top 5 sa car sales dito sa Pinas kahit 3 lang naman talaga ang passenger vehicles nito hehe, at yan ang dilemna talaga natin o naming maka-Isuzu na nakaka-alam sa mga mas magagandang Isuzu na ibinebenta sa ibang bansa. Hindi naman na nila inimprove ang Trooper kahit man lang sana ang 3.0 4JX1-TC engine noon pa ang isinalpak diyan at hindi na ini-offer pa ang Alterra hehe....

On the other hand, ang Toyota naman sadyang malakas kahit hindi na maging aggressive pa. Wala talagang tatalo sa ATOYOT.... Wala naman din talaga ang Isuzu dito sa Pinas, UNLESS i-offer nila ang bagong 3.0 D-max ahoho ;)

mga sir,nagpa General check up ako sa isuzu cabanatuan kanina,hindi tinanggap ang elf competition engine oil ko na 15w50 kasi baka daw kumatok ang makina,kaya no choice balik sa engine oil ng casa.... hindi ba pwede yung dinala kong engine oil...tsaka talaga bang 8litres engine oil ang nilalagay sa DMAX 4x4 boondok?

Cooljay21, try mo din ito sir....

Not too bad apparently and is very cheap compared to my stable Mobil 1 Delvac Gold 5W-40. i'm quite satisfied with this multi-grade oil from Shell

Mahal mga Isuzu oils kahit pa yung semi-synthetic na Besco 10W-30.

Cheers!

After winning the following:

1. 2013 Ute of the Year by 4WD Action in Australia (D-max 3.0-litre);
2. 2013 Vans of the Year Awards by VanzA27 in the United Kingdom (D-max 2.5-litre twin turbo); and
3. 2013 Europe's version Car of the Year AllRad by Auto Bild in Germany (D-max 2.5-litre twin turbo)....

....The D-max 3.0-litre won yet again Australia's Ute of the Year by Delivery Magazine ;)


Hindi lang pala dating Car of Year, thorough-bred 4x4 pa din shaming even the vaunted Ford Ranger 3. 2 TDCi, but also a no-non sense utility pickup hehe.... Sabi ko na nga ba hindi inutility ang D-max di gaya nung isang mala-egg ang shape hehe

Sulit talaga na ever since i've bought Isuzu D-max pickups.... Pinaka-tipid pa sa fuel sa lahat ;)

Cheers!

Just had my 90k km change oil and oil filter at Speedyfix. I even met sir Migs aka speedyfix. I tried Royal Purple 15W40 at 600 per liter, so far so good, mas mura pa kaysa sa Torco that Isuzu used before. Sayang hindi compatible ung LF 689 (Fleetguard) na oil filter that I bought from sir Bayen, so no choice, VIC oil filter tuloy ang bagsak ko.

YUP sir, and this fully-synthetic Torco SD5 15W-40 even has lower Total Base Number (TBN) of 8 ppt potassium hydroxide compared to this very cheap heavy-duty multi-grade Shell R3 X oil containing 11.5 TBN. Even the vaunted ester type fully-synth Motul CRDi Specific 5W-40 only has 8 TBN same as the heavier Torco. This actually made me jumped to Mobil1 Delvac Gold 5W-40 as it contains plus 12.0 TBN other than its kinematic properties and is fully synthetic. I have yet to get an Amsoil diesel oil from Manila, if any, as i've used it in other countries.

At this time though, i'm using that cheap Shell R3 X oil vefore i change again to Mobil1.

Good Day Mga Sirs.

I am a newbie here. I hope you guys can help me out. Anyways, I have a 10 month old D-Max 4x4 LT (4jj1-Iteq engine). Its odometer reading is at 22.5k. My problem is that there is a moisture of oil around the turbo and its air hose and around the intake. On my 15,000km periodic maintenance, isuzu told me that they will just tighten the hose clips. But then again on my 22.5k kms periodic maintenance this morning, I noticed the same thing.

The technician told me that this is normal since there is oil coming out from the breather towards the turbo system. Its just so happen that my hose clips were not tight enough which caused the visible moisture of oil. Is it really normal for the breather to blow out oil? Why is oil present in the air hoses in its turbo system? I thought only air passes through these hoses.

Anyways. baka meron iba dyan na may same experience. Pakishare naman mga Sirs. Thank you and God Speed.
