Ot rin
san ba gawa yung ZEXEL na A/C? usually anong cars ang gumagamit nito?

ito ata ang brand na nabili ko sa surplasan

[OTEP]

ZEXEL sa Japan iyan. Gumagawa din sila ng mga injection pumps para sa diesel engines at kung ano ano pa. Ewan ko kung sa surplasan meron. Denso nga nahirapan pa ko maghanap, eh. Hehehe.

May nakita ako dati sa Ace or was it True Value Hardware store? It is a thick clear plastic sheet that was used for water sealing house gutters. A roll was about 300 bucks.

more details that made me like the trooper

1. Rain gutters are incorporated sa roof... its not attached like the others but rather molded.

2. Same w a rear spoiler, its integrated in design and not an attachment or accessory

3. Heaters sa folding side mirrors

4. it has LSD, so its better than other 2wd models

cons: which i forgot, radial tires... AT should have been better and the lack of 4wd

I seem to notice that 4WD Troopers have low lying transfer cases and other vital parts. Kaya kung anu-anong sumasabit sa ilalim. I could assume it has the same low transmission settings on the 2WD variant.

Guys,

Ano yung LSD? sorry for my ignorance... I thought kasi all cars has this... binayaran ko pa naman ang ka mahal mahal na LSD oil na yan hehe di ba yan yung ATF?

[OTEP]

LSD limited slip differential. Yep, it needs LSD additive pero overpriced talaga sa Casa.

Madaming threads about LSD dito sa forums.

[wiretap_md]

mdpo: Get the one by 3M. Its an anti-slip transparent tape na rough that is used for bathtubs, steps ng stairs, etc. I use it sa running board ko as well as sa door stepboards para di ma scratch whenever people get in and out of my car. I bought it from Handyman Robinson's Bacolod dati so I'm pretty sure any Handyman branch would have one.

OTEP is right, limited slip differential. GL5 kasi kailangan na gear oil nyan. Bought mine for less than 200 bucks/liter and 1.8 liters lang capacity nung sa rear axle so ok na. Sa Hans or True Value meron. Pitt Penn ata brand nung binili ko. AC Delco sa Hans I think meron din.

P.S Sa trooper G80 ang code nyan if you look at the I.D plate under the hood.

Not all GL5 gear oils are LSD compatible. Safer to buy a GL5 that's specified for LSD use on the bottle.
Caltex has one and so does mobil(LSA90) but not that common yet.

[mdpo]

Ic so LSD is a differential pala.. hehehe... di ba sa iba ordinary gear oil lang ang gamit.. yung mas malapot nga daw. hehehe

Wiretap: I'll try to look for that one thanks!

Try to inquire about it sa True Value Rockwell branch. The people there are very accomodating and willing to help. Maraming product line up ang 3M, their promo person is always ready to help. Dun ko nga lang nalaman may quick drying adhesive (parang Mighty Bond) ang 3M na parang rubber pag natuyo, hindi matigas.

thanks ungas! =)
