Isuzu Dmax Owners [continued]

[Benzmizer]

Thanks! Nakita ko nga meron sa manual. It's not very specific though. So do i have to remove the entire HU to access the back and connect an RCA cable? Also one other question, what's the recommended tire pressure for the 245/70/16? Thanks a lot! Enjoying my D-Max so far.

It should be at the Driverside B-Pillar (you'll see when you open the door). But top of mind would be around 32 (front) 34 (rear). You would not want to "overinflat" the tires for the ride would be extremely bumpy.

mga sir i just have my d-max 3 months old a xmax edition... ask ko lang anu po ba o panu po ba ang proper way of shifting gear? db 1st gear to 2nd gear and 3rd gear then so on.. eh pano po pag down shifting may naka pag sabi kc saken na dapat daw daanan mu ung lahat na gear pababa like from 5th, 4th, 3rd and so on un ba ang dapat? pag minsan kc from 4th deretso ako sa 1st or 2nd gear kapag hihinto naku sa trafic... para iwas babad sa clutch
ask ko din lang ilan po ba sagad ng makina naten? ung kasing dmax ko 140 lang parang sobrang bilis na compare dun sa dati kong kotse 210kph parang pareho na takbo...

last question mga sir ilang rpm proper shifting per gears? ako kc mga 1500 rpm pasok na ako agad ng kambyo minsan 2k un nga lang minsan parang na vibrate ung makina

First, CONGRATULATIONS on your new D-Max.

As to the shifting of gears, yes, as a general practice, one shifts from 1-2-3-4-5 and vice versa. There may be exceptions on downshifting (from 5-4-3-2-1) depending on your speed. Example would be your are running at 100kph (likely at 5th gear) then you had to make a drastic slowdown to let's say 60kph, you may shift directly from 5th to 3rd. Again, this depends on the speed and torque.

As to the "feeling" of speed, I would assume your previous vehicle is a passenger car. Aerodynamics of cars are generally better than CV such as pick ups. These affect the "speed feel" you experience. Wind drag contribute to this too.

As to the "proper" RPM when changing gears, similar to my 1st reply, it would depend on the speed and torque. As a general rule, the higher the speed, the less RPM is required to change gears.

Hope this helps in some way.

maraming salamat sir benz.. nag worry lang kasi ako sa sinabi nung barkada ko na pag hindi daw nasunod ung proper way of shifting gears eh madali daw bibigay ung makina.. ang alam ko kc as long na hindi pwersado at alaga ung makina eh mas longer ung life span ng dmax naten...

ask lang ako mga ka d-max san po ba sa mla. pwd makabili ng mga accesories ng dmax naten? like ung body kits at honeycomb grille... any shop na marerecomend nyo penge narin po ng contact no. nung shop or tao... gusto ko kc madagdagan ung moods nya except sa rollbar at rollerlid... nag hanap naku sa banawe sa autospecs wala sila grille san kaya may makukunan neto?

[kosang itim]

hello po mga sir... proud to own a dmax boondock 4x4 2010 model... so far 1,400 odo reading nya.. ang masasabi ko palang is matipid sya at gwapo sya hehe... tanong ko lang po kung gaano po ba kabilis ang dmax boondock? kasi sumilip ako sa ibang thread eh wala manlang akong nakitang dmax top speed? ganun ba kabagal ang dmax natin?

[kosang itim]

mga sir bago lang po ako sa forum na to pero binasa ko po lahat ng thread bago nakapag decide na go for the dmax boondock 2010.... may mga konting tanong lang po sana ako.. para saan po yung NEUTRAL sa 2H,4H at 4L... kelan ito gagamitin? saka paano yung cruise control? at ano po ba top speed na nagawa nyo using dmax 4jj...

From experience, 180kph. But I know this can still be pushed upto 200kph but would not be considered "safe".

mabilis naman pala eh, kala ko kasi nasa 140kph lang ... ok na ako sa 180kph hehe... yung akin kasi 110kph * 2000rpm. kaya akala ko konti nalang ang maibubuga kasi nasa 2000 na rpm nya...

ive got dmax 4x2 ls radical just 6 months ago. naka register ako ng 170 pero palagay ko kakayanin pa hanggang 200kph depende lang sa road condition.

mga ka dmax pag ba 4x4 compare sa 4x2 top speed nya same parin ba? dati kc pajero gamit ko 4x2 matic den may pinsan ako 4x4 pinag compare namen sa konsumo ng gas matakaw ung 4x4 at masmabagal kahit na hindi naka engage ung 4x4 nya malakas lang ung hatak nya.. sa dmax ba ganun din? sabi rin nung mekaniko ko masmabagal daw sa rektahan ang 4x4 sa 4x4 kc iba ung ratio ng diffrential nito tama ba?

dapat kc mag 4x4 ako kaya nga lang nag 4x2 kc nga baka matakaw lang sa diesel 4x4 at mabagal...

mga sir sa po ba dyan sa mla. may mga mods. para sa dmax naten i really want to buy grill for may dmax ung honeycomb grill... and some bodykits? san po ba located ung a-toy bodykits? really need help hir thanks mga sir

[joabs]

i believe 4x2 and 4x4 has the same top speed coz they have the same 4jj1 3.0 engine as long as you disengage the 4 wheel drive.

With regards to the radiator grille, i got a new honeycomb chrome coated one that i bought from CFG here in Cebu. it costs me 5,500 and i like the looks now on my dmax. In Isuzu, they priced it * 8,500.

[Benzmizer]

A-Toy would be your best bet or StarBright (direct competition of A-Toy).

[Benzmizer]

i believe 4x2 and 4x4 has the same top speed coz they have the same 4jj1 3.0 engine as long as you disengage the 4 wheel drive.

The 4x2 would have a slight advantage in terms of speed (particularly in acceleration) because it's expected to be "lighter" than a 4x4 (due to the added weight of the 4x4 drivetrain)

From experience, 180kph. But I know this can still be pushed upto 200kph but would not be considered "safe".

based from my experience din, i did 180kph few times in slex kaso ako na umayaw dahil nakakatakot na ung drag ng hangin e. but it can go further for 200kph.humihingi pa ung makina kahit 180 na e. kayang kaya nya tumakbo ng ganun speed. but i think d na ganun advisable na tumakbo ng ganun ung 4x4 dahil ma-shorten ung life ng gears ng sa 4wheel drive mo kasi masyadong magiinit ung mga un that can cause to wear/tear easily. d naman kasi design un for that speed. and isa pa e mabigat xa dahil sa 4x4 components.

ako naman im looking for the grill na ung labas ng unang design ng boondock. ung parang may flare ung logo ng isuzu. meron sa casa but it cost around 17k ata. masyado mahal kaya d ko mabili. anyone who knows where i can buy that kahit 2nd hand siguro nun? d ko xure kung meron sa banawe nun e. TIA!

[joabs]

Hi sir Benz, ask lang po ako if you have an idea how much it cost ng aluminum roller up dyan sa banawe? gusto ko kasi bumili ng carryboy dito sa Isuzu kaya lang 35,000 pesos dito. am looking for quite cheaper one.
wala kasing Carryboy center dito sa cebu eh tas me nakita akong second hand kaso may mga yupi na so brand new nalang bibilhin ko.

ung 35000 sa casa e ung d motorized dba?..kasi i got mine sa main ng carryboy sa banawe for about 35800 e.roller lid un,ung motorized na.. ung hindi motorized e i think nsa 25000-28000 ata.maybe ngtaas na sila ngaun kasi that was 2yrs ago pa.

[joabs]

ano bang mas maganda sa motorized na roller lid? di pa kasi ako nakakita nun ang nakita ko lang yung manual na pag open ng roller top kasi yun ang nakita ko sa pinsan kong may Hilux. kung may arrangement pics kayo sir pwede po bang ma i post ninyo para makita ko naman. thanks po.

ang sabi sakin ng carryboy e mas maganda na nga daw ung motorized (roller lid) kesa dun sa manual. kasi pag nasira daw ung mechanism nung manual e sisrain daw ung buong lock nung roll up unlike nung sa motorized na pwde gamitan ng susi at mabubuksan pdin ung door sa likod. at isa pa e d mappwersa buksan ung motorized dahil sa motor nya, un ung nagsisilbing lock nung mechanism. un nga lang talaga e mahal ung motorized. almost same lang nman siya ng looks but wala siya nung makapal na something dun sa may bandang rear window. flat na talaga un from tail end. saka with remote na ung motorized and may switch na din sa loob ng car un to open and close ung roller lid.

[joabs]

ok thanks po sa reply. i'll go for motorized nalang din poh.
