[hinDMaxsiado]

Thanks hndimaxsiado!!!!!!
Useful talga ang mga advices nyo!

Lets pray the VGS Dmax arrive here for the year 2012!!! I believe it!

Haha!!!! Idol mo pala sir si Pres. NObama "Yes, we can!"

Sir,

Sa mga D-max owner diyan question lang po, Ang D-max po ba ay timing belt or timing chain ? Sana yung D-max na 2012 model ay naka timing chain , yung kasing 2011 na Strada ay timing belt pa rin ang gamit, same daw sa 2012 model .

Salamat po !

Both Timing Chain and Gear!

Timing Chain related to the Camshaft and Supply Pump while the Gear to run other internal components.

+2 mga sirs, which is maintenance-free by the way ....Both the old DMax 4JH1-TC and the old Crosswind have ran more than 300,000 km todate, and counting, BUT never experienced opening up the engine ;)

With the belt-driven, you have to replace it every 100,000 km, which is still arguably a lot of distance to run. i'm expecting this to happen to my wife's current Innova D4-D by 100,000 km hehe

Most replaces them at 90,000kms just to be on the safe side.

OT: But don't you think the engr's of this engine already made a slight safe reco of 100,000kms replaceent sched? I always thought they will do this just to be safe as well as long as OEM belts are used for reliability of course.

Agree ako sa insight na yan sir na di naman masama i-check mo nga naman dapat makina mo after 100,000 km, di ba? Kahit hindi pa high-powered ito na pang-karera.

Sa mga dirtbikes nga namin, kahit di namin ginagamit sir sa MX racing, kundi more on enduro-riding na may intermittent-to-occasional wide-open-throttle (WOT), ang top-end maintenance ko just to be safe ay every 1.5 years to 2.0 years depende sa frequency ng dirtriding sir. PhP7,500 lang naman ang bagong aftermarket piston set sa two-stroke at ako na din nag-install. Kailangan ko din gawin before the engine grenades due to a broken-piston or pin/circlips inside hehe

Gaya ng nabanggit ko na din sir, 100k kms of travel is a lot na rin! Ilan ba circumference ng mundo along the equator? Ilang balikan na yang 100,000 km di ba? ....Reasonable na din na tignan ang makina somehow just to be more on the safe side and have peace of mind all the time hehe....

If you like the idea of getting tired-to-be-fit and breath fresh air while doing it, there's no other perfect getaway cum bike hauler like the diesel DMax

* Benzmiser & Hindmaxsiado,

Salamat po at naliwanagan ko na ang D-max ay gumagamit ng timing chain compare sa Strada na 4D56 na gumagamit parin ng timing belt up to the present na Strada 2.5 VGT 4D56 engine.

Napakahirap mag-palit ng timing belt lalo na at napakaraming ta-tangalin na piyesa at panel bago mo mapalitan at maikabit ang timing belt,kung dadalhin naman sa Mitsubishi Dealer ay mahina ang 5 K na gastos sa Parts & Labor.

Big Advantage for D-max, Sana naman ay mag-benta ang Isuzu Philippines or Inteco ng 2012 Isuzu Dmax VGS 3.0 model.

Kung ang introductory price para sa 2012 D-max VGS 3.0 model ay 1.080 M or up to 1.1 M maraming matutuwang pick-up lovers na gustong bumili ng bagong unit .

timing belts are replaced, if possible, before a 100,00kms has been reached.... its not just the number of kilometers you stack up wiht your ride.. you also have to put into consideration the number of hours the car has been on traffic and waiting for the kids or gf or wifey, etc... even though you just use it drive the chuldren to school, you have ot consider the years your car has been on the road and the hours it has been running.

as for replacing the timing belt, i would suggest it would be done sa casa, i have heard some stories of cars being replaced ng timing belt outside sa casa or some very reliable shop, na nagkamali ng balik sa belt, nagkamali ng belt mismo or the type or quality of the belt being bought outside sa casa. kc lifeline din ng kotse ang timing belt, at least kung meron man magkamali sa casa or any branded repair shop, pwde ka magreclamo and they woudl warrant the repair and parts. hindi naman yan parati palitan, it owuld take years pa bago mo palitan ulit, so spending extra on assurance and peace of mind the work was done properly by eligible people.

i think isuzu and nissan lang hindi gumagamit ng timing belt sa mag diesel engines nila... as for gasoline engine, honda lng so far nakita ko na nakal timing chain sa mag new models nila... timing chains are used sa diesel para malakas humatak, mas tahimik... but the problem is that is has a very low life span, and needs maintenance...

Baligtad sir, mas low maintenance ang timing chain kesa timing belt...

[HUMANHORDE]

agree ako sir..

Sir, halatang nagche-chess ka ah sa pangalan mo lang ;)

By the way sir, ang 3.2-litre Strada 4M41 gaya din ng Isuzu, timing chain and gear.

Folks, lately malakas ang konsumo & mausok ang D-Max ko (4JH1 engine). I had the engine oil & all filters replaced but the consumption didn't improve. My D-Max will be 8 years old this December and has logged in 85T kms. Kailangan pa rin ba ng injection pump or nozzle tip calibration sa 4JH1 engine? Plus, I didn't have a turbo timer installed. Can this be a symptom of turbo failure? Thanks.

Yung turbo failure kapag sa birit mo lang makikita na mausok dapat sir. Maganda nga sir pa-check mo IP pati nozzle tips.

Nakupow! Tama, tuwing bumibirit lang (pag umoovertake ako sa 2-lane highway) saka ko napapansin na mausok, kitang-kita sa rearview mirror.

Di bale sir, on the positive note, mag-upgrade ka na to an aftermarket turbo so that you derive extra power, ika nga hehe

Hehe. Ayoko ko nang gastusan itong ride ko kasi balak kong i-dispose pag labas nung next gen D-Max.

Ung toyota fortuner ni erpat, napansin din namin na kapag bumibirit sya ang itim ng usok. Sabi nya baka daw "nilargahan" sa casa. I dont know what he means by that. Ibabalik nya daw ulit para i-check. Nabasa ko ngayon ang discussion dito, ibig sabihin turbo agad ang may sira sa fortuner ni erpat?
