Isuzu Dmax Owners [continued]

**rna800** · January 29th, 2015 11:08 AM

*piloski: Congratulation on your new truck, sir. Hopefully it will serve you well.

*jblue2000: Good to know that you are enjoying your truck, sir.

*tisoy555: 2.5 ba ung sayo, sir? Probably that is the reason kasi sa 3.0, 170 to 175 siya gagapang and then the speed limiter will interfere. Pero un ung sa engine ng 3.0L Global Dmax.

As to the Navara overtaking you, I am not surprised. Sprinter yan so mabilis siya sa highway and from owners of Navara, some said that they reached speeds up to 190 and even 200 kph especially for the 4x4.

*bugoys: When I got home last, I tried checking my FC reading for no reason at all, just because. Here is what I saw. From 10 kms/liter, it became 10.3 kms/liter. Wala naman akong ginawa. Same driving habits, same route. Kaya wag kang mawalan ng pag asa, sir, tataas din ang onboard FC reading mo.hehe Pag nagpa gas up ako, I am gonna do a full tank method and baka tumaas din ang FC reading.

Last time meron din bago ranger, wala pa rin plaka, nag ka hubulan kami mga takbo sa 120kph to 130kph. Nga dumating sa mga 150kph bumitaw na si ranger, pero meron din pala navara bumubuntot sa amin. Inovertakan ako sa 150kph. Puno sakay ko kaya hindi ko na rin lng hinabol. Malamang mag konti lng sakay nun at MT yun humarurot pa e, dark tint din kaya di ko makita sakay nya. At kasma ko si mrs, umangal na rin e.

Manual yung saakin. May sakay akong dalawang adults and 2 children. Umaakyat pa rin nung nasa 160+ and hindi pa full yung RPM ng engine.. pero yun nga hindi ko na tinuloy. As long as aabot ito ng 175+kms/h ok lang.. It can do what a modern pickup should at higit sa lahat hindi mo kailangang mag alala na baka masira yung Turbo or kung may nasira man, hindi ka mag aalala ka sa support and parts. It's really a joke pag compare mo ang battle for speed sa mga pickups once naka gamit ka talaga ng REAL speeding machine. So I don't mind nor anyone should. And besides mitsa lang ng buhay yan and it's childish nonesense. Dami kong nakikita tumataob ng mg SUVs and Big Pickups. Napaka daling tumaob ng mga ganitong klaseng sasakyan because it is not for speeding.

*tisoy555: Subukan niyo ulit, sir, for sure kaya niya yan until 175 kph. Patik pitik lang baka mahuli ka.hehe

Yung akin noon, nasa early stage niya noong napaabot ko sa 175. Hindi ko na matandaan pero pagkatapos lang ata ng 1k km checkup. Kahit nga nung break in period pa lang niya, pinaabot ko na ng 140 kph. Actually napaabot ko recently kaso medyo ingat na ako ngayon kasi mas strict na sila sa overspeeding kaya most of the time, within 120 kph lang ako. Wala akong balak magsayang ng oras sa LTO and magbayad ng 1k+ for overspeeding.hehe

I'm so happy na happy kayo sa old and all new dmax ninyo. Albeit I felt otherwise sa all new. Siguro i'll test drive it again, to dispel any doubts on its capabilities specially on hauling, loading heavy stuff.

*rna- I reset the average fuel meter, lo and behold it went up to 10.3! Hahahah. I drove it for about 20+ kms, got stuck about 10-15 mins in edsa from ayala to taft. I'll do the full tank method once nabyahe na ulit ng mahaba haba.

Sir rna800 LS 3.0 AT 4x2 unit ko. Mga 3 mos old na. 6k kms sa odo. Well break in namn siguro ito, hindi ko rin namn masyado binebaby sa pag hinahataw.
Subukan ko uli ihataw sa 160kph kung palo pa ng 170kph nag wala iba sakay.

**tisoy555** · January 30th, 2015 09:19 PM

*sir rna800: tried to top speed knina pero medyo kinapos ng road. Nag 160kph 5th gear (manual mode)rpm around 3k. Sagad ng 4th gear mga 130kph at yun sa 4k rpm. Kaya siguro 175kph sa 3.5k rpm kaso babad sa flooring at pitikpitk ng accelerator, AT kasi unit ko. Bumaba tuloy sa 11.1 kpl reading sa MID. Hehehe

I have 2015 Dmax LS 4x4 AT after makuha ko sa casa test drive ko agad 200km of highway and steep terrain with my wife. I test the 0-100km/h time so far I got about 12.9 seconds (wife ko yung nag log ng time) from stanstill flooring the gas to the floor in flat highway surfaces, my ODO reading is 340 Km and average fuel consumption reading at MID of 10.2 km/l. We go directly to our farm in Batangas with 15 km of 20-30 degrees of steep inclined and uneven terrain I use manual and auto mode of transmission alternately switching only to 4H and Im really satisfied with the performance of dmax akyat lang sya ng akyat. Ang isa pa napansin ko may pagbabago sa tunog ng engine hindi na siya maingay I use petron turbo diesel. Napansin ko lang din medyo sakal yung acceleration nya and I will compare this afterna mafully break in yung engine, but compared to my neigbhor 3.2 wildtralk mas maingay yung engine nya kesa sa Dmax lalo na kapag idle sya at lalo na pag umarangkada na sya. IM really a satisfied owner of this Truck

Ask ko lng kung sino nakaka experience ng hindi ma dali isara ang pinto ng dmax. Mag 3 months na unit ko. Hirap pa rin i sara. Dapat malakas o hawak hangang pag sara. Kadalasannsa mga pasahero ko doble tuloy mag sara ng pinto.

Tapos yung AC compressor pag i on ko rinig mo yung pag engadge ng ac clutch nya. Normalnba sa dmax ito.

So far ito lng mga problema ko sa dmax.

**jblue2000** · February 1st, 2015 11:01 PM

Ba't kaya ganun? Sinasabi sa mga review na maingay daw ang D-Max.. eh mas maingay pa nga yung Hilux ng kapit bahay namin pag idle, bago ko pinili ang D-Max over a Hilux I know the fact from reviews na mas maingay ang D-Max pero to my surprise parang mas maingay pa yata ang Hilux 3.0 nung sa actual na .. or siguro yung VGS version sa ibang bansa yung mas maingay?
