Isuzu Dmax Owners [continued]

[tisoy555]

Tnx for the reply sir rna800. Yup i really enjoying this rig. Coming fron a nissan frontier, the dmax is really fun and relaxing to drive.

Scheduled for my 1st pms after clocking 1.6kms, after i had this unit for 2 wks. isuzu iloilo quoted me for the materials around 6.3k

A had passengers commented that the ride of the dmax is more softer compared from a monty and hilux, after traveling with them on rough roads here. Is this really true? I had drove my mos new monty, but only in the busy streets in mla, so no chance of experience on rough roads.

*tisoy555: Coming from the Frontier, for sure you will immediately feel the difference even if you are blindfolded.hehe Commonrail diesel engine runs way better & smoother.

I haven't ridden in the all new Dmax but I have the older brother with a meaner look.hehe

With mine, unladen on city streets, it's really bumpy and stiff. On the other side, load it and it just follows the contour of the road. Also, the beauty of the stiff ride is you can run through potholes, cracks as if they are non existent. Hindi ung tipong feeling mo mawawarak ang pang ilalim ng vehicle. Shocks, stabilizer links, engine support in mine are still the original considering they are more than 6 yrs old and the truck has clocked more than 117k kms. But the bushings on the rear have been replaced 2x already. Telltale sign is when you the shake the bed, it squeaks.

I have ridden in my uncle's Montero, 2009 4x4 GLS SE, a lot of times. I find the Montero's ride better and softer regardless on where I sat.

Na pasok ko sa isuzu service ang unit ko kangina for 1st 1.5kms pms. I was qouted for 6,200++, na pansin ko aside sa usual change oil and cleaning procedures, pati transmission fluid papalitan na? LS a/t 4x2 nga pala unit ko.

Meron na ba naka subok mag install ng osram night breaker sa low beam (projector type) sa dmax nila, ano model #? Ano po review re dito? Tia

[Djerms]

Atf, and gear oil will also be changed durkng the first 1.5tkms. For me its a good practice.

Mga sir tanong ko lang po kung sulit ba yun extra 40K sa dmax na xserries?

[tisoy555]

Badtrip. Na involved sa vehicular accident Dmax LS ko yesterday. Nag ka sabitan ang unit ko at wingvan sa isa blind curve, company driver pa namin ang may dala, masama kasi pakiramdam ko. Kaya yun lalong lumala. Wasak, tangal side mirror, gasgas front fender at bumper sa driver side. Sagutin ng insurance ng wingvan kasi sa police report sideswipe at hindi sya himinto sa scene. Hinabol pa namin yung loko. Upon further inspection may maliit dent din sa front door at malalim na gasgas si window. Ka badtrip talaga. 1 month old pa lng ito inot kp.

That is sad to hear Sir, sa description mo medyo hassle talaga sa dami ng damage. Accident lang talaga, at least sir you are safe and yun ang important =)

Gudpm sirs. i would like to get your piece of advice. I own a brand new dmax LT. What is the maximum tire dimensions that I can install without changing my current rim size (15) and without lifting the body. parang manipis and lapad po kasi ang stock na tire. Thanks a lot

Having my rear brakes serviced at shell station. Need replace brake shoes surprised they will provide bendix brake shoe. Its pricey (2k ++) versus previous replacements ko na rico brand. According to catalog Bs5010 ang model. Sana pareho at genuine ibigay.

haay install sa dmax ko "ds4496" bendix brake shoe for isuzu application. quick google search wala naman ganun.

anyways im not blaming anyone. iniwan ko talaga duon sasakyan to take care of other matters.
palitan ko agad pag may na feel ako hindi tama sa rear brakes.

for non-crdi dmax dapat talaga BS5010 ang rear brake shoes like the catalog indicates.
