Calling all Trooper riders.

Mga Sir, anyone who have changed their trooper timing belt? how much is the current price if in casa and if outside casa where is the best shop to do the job (parts & service). I'm in Pampanga, thanks mga sir.

Last 3 years ago i replaced my 4JB1T engine's timing belt. And it just cost me 2.5k. Up to now it runs very well. Ung pinalitan lang is ung mismo belt kasi sabi ng mekaniko ko is in-good condition pa ung mga tensioner. Ung belt is nasa 1.2-1.5k ung price range, then 1k ung labor na siningil sa akin kasi medyo may kahirapan din ang pagpapalit ng belt. Pinaka importante kasi dun is maibalik sa timing. Ung brand na nai-recommend ng mekaniko ko is "Gates" na nabili ko sa "Chrissan Auto Supply" (near pandan, angeles, AUF rotonda), and i read * club isuzu international na ganoon din brand ung minsan ginagamit nila. Anyway, from Pampanga din pala ako.

About naman sa Casa, nakapag-tanong ako before para lang magkaroon ng idea. Rough cost-estimate nila di bababa ng 10k.

Sana makatulong ito Sir, marami salamat..

Thank you sir sa info, saan ka sa Pampanga? dito ako sa may San Simon,

No problem po Sir.. Anyway, sa Angeles ako. Basta hanap ka lang ng mahusay na mekaniko na may experience na sa pagpapalit ng mga ganayan. Medyo sensitibo rin kasi pagpapalit ng mga ganyan lalu na pagka nawala sa timing or mali ung belt na nailagay. Marami sisirain kung sakali mangyari yun..

sir alam ko more or less 3.5k ang OEM timing belt sa jayson's or walco..sa casa mga 5k plus vat pa...they usually advice to change also the tensioner kung magpapalit ng timing belt around 6k siya sa jayson's or walco...if pagdating sa engine sa casa ako nagpapagawa lalo na sa trooper ko but i buy the parts sa jayson's or walco (e.g.. oil,filters) mas mura yung matitipid mo pambayad na ng labor sa casa...

ilan naba tinakbo ng trooper mo? mine is 165xxx balak ko palitan at 180xxx pero sa manual is 200xxx ung service niya kaso we also have to consider the age of the vehicle mine is 10yrs na this dec.

sir atin kung post keng Kabalen chapter para sana keng EB tamung kapampangan sana matuluy ya,pisopan sopan taya..

Sir Sure Fire thank you again sa advise and info.

Sir dh0n over 100km narin tinakbo 2002 model, kailan mo planaong mag palit ng T belt. Pampanga karin pala.

**dh0n** · December 15th, 2011 08:44 PM

siguru sir middle of next year or kung maabot ung 180xxxkm....

**JhunTrooper** · December 16th, 2011 02:02 PM

Sir dh0n, ma confirm kaya ng mekaniko sa casa or outside casa yung Tbelt kung kailangan ng palitang sa pamamagitan lang ng tingin? i.e. deterioration, tear and wear etc., by considering only in the age of the vehicle and not in the mileage? thanks.
