[d_mac]

Also sir, iba nagawa ng nitto 265,70,16 na terra grappler tire sa porma ng aking dmax.hahaha

Tumangkad sya at lalong gumanda handling..hehe kita ko din ung impulse blue nyo sir . Pag upod na aat palitin n tires myo sir, i suggest u replace 265,70,16..just my opinion.hehe pero stock size pewede pa din naman tlaga.hehe mas mura pa.

Next plan ko palitan s kanya ay ironman nitrogas shock absorber kasi leaking na ung reae.pero kaya p naman. May time pa pag ipunan.hehe..

Heto pala yung sa akin blue D-max at 85,000 km palang odo ---- palaging madumi yan hehe at pinambubundok ko din kahit hindi 4 times 4 hehe (4x4). Naka-Bilstein HD ako (front Trooper shocks at likod D-max 4JJ1-TCX shocks). Maganda lalo na kung kargahan kahit 3 motor pa sa likod. Naka-115,000 km ka na pala hehe. Tatagal at tatagal pa yan kahit pa paabutin mo ng 400,000 km and more

Sulit naman mga yang standard 4JJ1-TC engine at malakas lalo na sa akyatan, matipid pati kahit panay hataw.... Umaabot naman ng 170 kph yan at mabilis mag-accelerate kahit wastegate turbo lang ;)

wow active pa rin pala karamihan dito..sana maging active ulit ako..pag di na busy..question..lsd na ba ang dmax 2005 4x2 lx?i agree..tibay ng 4jh1..matullin na din and sobrang reliable..250k na takbo ng dmax 4jh1 ko..pero gusto ko pa pabilisin..any tips guys?intercooler and egr ba dapat pinapalinis?and yung throttle body going to intake manifold?ok ba sa central diesel?malabon diesel ttry ko pa lang service nila..mas mura daw dun..

Ang layo na pala ng natakbo ng Dmax niyo, sir. Halos na sulit niyo na ung pinambili niyo diyan.hehe

Ung EGR kung di niyo pa pinalinis, ipalinis niyo and for sure you'll feel a big difference in performance. Or pwede niyong itry na ipa-blank, kung pwede.

Or try inquire on the alcohol/water injection.

My experience when I had my EGR cleaning with Central Diesel is great. Wala namang naging problema after. Pero kung meron kang alam na mas malapit sa inyo na naglilinis ng EGR at a cheaper price, pwede na din siguro doon.

[rna800]

Also sir dmac, 115000kms na ito since 2008 pero ang hatak ramdam na ramdam pa din kahit nga usok sir negative..hehe ung fortuner ni erpat na 2.5L halos same age pero bumubuga ng sobrang usok. Kaya natutukso tuloy ibenta at hintayin ang MU X hehehe. Most probably ilabas dto s atin kahit daw ung 4jj1 tc lng isalpak ipagpapalit nya eh. Hahaha

Twins pala ang Dmax natin, sir, kasi pareho tayo ng kulay and same year nabili. Kaso mas lamang ng 15k kms ung sayo.hehe Pero pareho tayo ng observation na ramdam, no, I mean ramdam na ramdam pa din ang hatak and negative din ang usok. All stock pa ung akin sa lagay na yan.

[bugoys]

Halos same mileage lang pala tayo sir dmac, we also got our dec 2007, same color pa na impulse blue, we're now clocking 82+++. I also have to agree sa 4jj1, power is ample already to compete with other trucks (though might not win) but heck hinde naman pang karera tlga ang pickup. Main purpose is to haul something or someone, and dun magaling and sulit ang dmax.

Plus i'm very observant sa ibang pick up truck on the road, i always and i mean always see black smoke coming out from the tail pipe ng mga hilux, the new ranger, and strada, but very few sa dmax, i know ours doesn't, kasi pinapa convoy ko ung kaibigan, and i always look on the rear view mirror for sign of black smoke, wala naman (knock on wood).

Concern ko lang sa dmax is ung ground clearance, mababa sya compared sa 3.0 na hilux at sa new ranger. I dunno if dahil lang sa body kaya nag mukhang mataas ung mga aforementioned pero pag side by side, mas mataas tlga yung side mirror .

Will changing tires from 245 to 265 have any disadvanatge/s? Like rubbing issues, or bibilis masira kung ano man ang pwedeng masira pag nag increase ako ng tire size.

Any feedback are highly appreciated. Thanks.

[rna800]

Sir bugoys, long time no post.

I am glad to hear na ok padin ang condition ng Dmax mo. Have you tried blanking your EGR? If I recall, ikaw yung nag post inquiring if anybody has tried blanking their EGR.

Hindi talaga mausok ang Dmax not unless sira ang EGR or SCV. Pero it helps from time to time, ihataw mo din para matanggal ung carbon deposits and ma exercise ang engine.

[d_mac]

Hi sirs, re the above posts on the mileage of their 4JJ1-TC wastegate turbo D-max, heto naman mga mileage (so far) ng mga nagamit at ginagamit namin old 4JH1-TC D-max:

Heto mileage noong right-steering 4JH1-TC D-max na gamit namin sa field way back late 2010-early 2011.... Ayaw na ipa-rent out na ng rental company since it was sold to his friend....Magaganda mga old 4JH1-TC D-max (3.0 TD Intercooler) sa rough environment.

The photo was taken few weeks after our project rented it out in August 2010 - it read 334,072 km




Ang personal 2004 4JH1-TC nila misis has an odometer reading of 336,633 km so far.... Just finding ways how to post the pic here as i took it sa celphone na di ko makita connector sa PC ahihi





In comparison, ang 4JJ1-TC wastegate CRDi naman ay plus 85,000 kms palang na-travel so far....

Cheers!

Hi boss rna800!

Yep, all is good pa naman, medyo OC lang ako minsan kaya ang daming tanong. Heheheh.

Re egr blanking, no i haven't done it yet. madami lang kasi ako nababasa sa ibang forums that they blank their egr sa montero and sa fort, pero sa dmax wala eh.

I do "italian tune up" once in a while to free up some carbon deposits din.

I just want a underchassis specialist para matignan ung pick up. I want to visit some shops na trusted like speedyfix, powertorq, et al., kaso hinde ako verse sa mga daan, specially pag lumagpas na ng manila. Hahahah.

I hope umabot ng ganyang mileage pick up trucks natin like kay boss dmac, hopefully without major repairs/replacements.

hi to my fellow tsikoteers, im a proud owner of alterra 2005 model 4JJ1-T engine, odo 72k, share ko lang na nalinis ko yon EGR ko, DIY lang using #12 socket range and 3inch extension, dpat sa umaga o pag malimig yon engine para madaling kumilos, i have also blank my EGR using yon original EGR gasket as my pattern, lalong lumakas ang hatak.


This is the original EGR gasket.


This is the fabricated EGR blanking gasket.

Uy, finally may nakita na din akong naka pag blank ng egr ng dmax. Heheheh.

Hows the performance?

When cleaning what chemical/spray do you use? Do you mind posting your steps in cleaning it?

Thanks.

Edit:

PS. What material yung gamit mo for the plate?

[michaeltoks]

Parehas lng ba egr pattern ng alterra nd dmax?

sir alterra 2005 po yon car ko at hndi dmax pero isupposed pareho tyong engine, 4JJ1-T. carb cleaner spray lang at screw driver ang gamit ko to clean the EGR, tapos yon blanking plate, pinagawa sa machine shop.
mas lumakas ang hatak at mawawala yon usok and most importantly, hndi mo na kailangan magpalinis ulit o bumili ng bagong EGR valve.

Usually radiators are aluminum. It shouldn't cost that much. Aabot ng 300-500usd mga after market radiators but Isuzu charging over 1000usd that is too focked up.

leaky radiators are usually repairable with metal epoxies(only way since aluminum is not easily weld-able)

[GS LOVER]

Parehas lng ba egr pattern ng alterra nd dmax?

hndi ko sure kung parehas ang EGR pattern ng alterra n dmax kaya ko ipipost yon picture ng EGR ng alterra for reference,pero malaman parehas lang kung parehas naman engine natin (4JJ1-T)

[rna800]

Thank you sir GS LOVER, for sharing how to clean the EGR and how to and your 1st hand experience in blanking it.

Sir, when you cleaned your EGR, is there any other tube that you cleaned too aside from what was on the picture? Baka meron pang ibang parts na kailangan din linisin.

Parang gusto kong I-DIY ung EGR cleaning kaso natatakot ako baka hindi ko na mabalik.hehe I looked at it in my engine bay and it looked complicated.

How many kilometers have you traveled after you blanked your EGR? Ako nati-tempt na talagang magpa blank although in perfect running condition naman ung Dmax ko.

As to the engine, I am not sure what is the engine of a 2005 Alterra pero kung DDI Iteq ung Alterra mo, for sure pareho tayo ng engine.

[rna800]

*vanleano: Sir, try mong pumunta sa Levin in Banawe. They have radiators there and meron sila ung Evercool Radiators. Tanong mo nalang kung meron silang pang Dmax and for sure mas mura sila kaysa sa dealer.

Mahal talaga pag sa dealer ka bumili. I inquired on the black mesh grill that I was looking for and Isuzu Makati has one but not exactly like what I had posted here kasi merong linya na design ung kanila, I was shocked when the guy told me that it costs almost 26k. Whew! I don't know if it's really that expensive or sobrang mahal lang talaga ang patong nila sa dealerships.

Looking at your Tagalog pattern sir and vividly seeing that YEAR 2005 Alterra, Sir Mike is that you????

i see our typical discussions over to the Racechip Pro page, where most of those who are also doing this are Montero owners and few Fortuner owners to be able to maximise the benefits of the chip since it is fooling the ECU that the EGR is still working....

Cheers and kamusta na sir (if ever you are the person hehe ;) )?

wala akong ibang nilinis kundi yon EGR lang na nasa picture, 4 na knots lang ang tinanggal ko at nakalas ko na yon EGR, city drive pa lang ako after blanking it at lalong gumanda ang condition nya.
3.0 ddi iteq yon engine ng alterra ko, yon ang emblem sa door ko.

m sorry guys if im in the wrong thread.
Just wana ask f u know a shop where I can have leather seat covers for my dmax plus wana make some modifications and customize?
thanks

[rna800]

*kudil: Sir, try mo sa MG Square or Seatmate, they make custom seat covers. Mag inquire ka nalang sa kanila kung magkano ung sa Dmax.

Kung sa modifications/customization, it depends on your budget. Madaming pwedeng pag dalhan and pwedeng mabili.

What modifications are you looking at? Looks, performance?
