Isuzu Dmax Owners [continued]

Interesting post Sirs, kung "stuck closed" for ~ 700 kms then it only means that the EGR is really safe to be blank-ed - but hence the CEL. Sir rna800, curious lang, 2014 unit po ba yung sa inyo?

No sir. More than 6 yrs na ang pinagsamahan namin ng Dmax ko. 2008 namin siya nabili and 116k+ kms na ang natakbo niya. Kaya itong pag ilaw ng CEL na ito and the cause is the EGR, parang wala na sa akin. Parang very confident na ako sa 4JJ1 ko na hindi ito titirik, sana, based on my experiences before.

When it first lit up, it was the SCV. They changed it. It cost 8k+. Then it lit up again, it was the EGR. Sabi ni Isuzu Commonwealth kailangan ng palitan and it costs almost 20k. So ako being unaware na pwedeng palang linisin, sabi ko na palitan na. Ang problem ay hindi na dumating dating ung part sa dealer hanggang sa umabot na ng more than 1 yr. Sabi ng SA ko ihataw ko daw baka mawala. Pinatingin ko sa mechanic na sanay sa old school engine na kilala ko, ang reply sakin, "Ano yang EGR, wala yan, tanggalin mo na yan."

I think nasa 30k+ kms ang natakbo ko noon na nakailaw ang CEL and the truck never failed me. Never siyang tumirik. I even brought it to our province in La Union, Tagaytay, Quezon, Rizal, etc but never na nag limp or pumugak pugak. Takbo lang ng takbo kahit anong ikarga and kahit saan dalhin. Pero siyempre ramdam ko na medyo mabigat and rough and for sure it was emitting black smoke cause I had to press the gas pedal a little harder to propel the truck.

Thank God for Tsikot because I read na pwede palang linisin and a shop name that popped up was Central Diesel. I had it cleaned there, nasa 4k ata un, cleaning and scanning. Imagine 4k compared to 20k for a new EGR valve.

After 30k+ kms ata, umilaw nanaman. Good thing I have a friend who does cleaning. So I brought it to him. 1k lang ang charge niya. It was last July or Aug I think.

Now it lit up again. Malabong barado nanaman siya kasi 2 months pa lang and wala pa ngang 10k kms ang natakbo. So now I am thinking na ipa blank nalang.

Yes sir, Central Diesel is the one beside Capitol Medical.

Halos naging diary ko na itong Dmax thread from the time I got my truck.hehe Kaya kung may mga problems kayo sa truck niyo, basahin niyo lang ung mga posts ko way back, baka na experienced ko na din.

*Djerms: Sulit na sulit talaga, sir. True workhorse. Yan ang gusto ko sa isang vehicle, takbo lang ng takbo at walang halong kaartehan kahit medyo nagkaka edad na.hehe

Hi guy!

Do you recommend any shop that specializes into power window etc.

Just this afternoon, nung binuksan yung rear right window, I heard a loud *blag* sound. I thought nakasagi ako while backing out from our garage, pero all clear naman. Then ayaw na bumaba, nor umakyat, then upon checking motor seemed to work, but the cable got derailed from its track, at nagka buhol buhol na yung cable sa motor. So naka tape nalang muna para lang maisara yung window. Hassle lang, at gastos na naman. Hahahah.

Thanks sa inputs.
