New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[Arvin Cristi]

napansin ko na may mga topic regarding driving on 4H. driving on 4H is basically the same as driving on 2H, you can go your usual highway speed. pero keep in mind that you will have a ridiculously higher fuel consumption plus early wear on your tires plus heavy steering plus slower acceleration. but putting all that aside it's basically okay, pero that doesn't mean na you can leave it at that forever or for extended periods of time, kaya nga may selection ng 2H,4H at 4L.

regarding naman sa shift on the fly capability ng strada, yup, strada palang ang may shift on the fly, pero dapat speed mo is not more than 100kph when you transfer from 2H to 4H. full stop from 4H to 4L or vice versa and rolling pag 4H to 2H.

i've had people asking me why there is a light on their dash that resembles a stick with 4 things on the side, for the uninformed thats the indicator when you transfer from 2 to 4. with the strada its supposed to be a steady light, if it keeps blinking, better have it checked, baka hindi nag eengage yung transfer case and diffrential.

all the problems and complaints that i've been reading lately in this forum is starting to get me worried, to think that the strada is already in the middle of its life cycle since it was released in 06, then they have come out with a facelift and yet the problems still come up.... i hope the people who poststheir problems are just a smallpercentage of the total strada users out there.

sir KCboy, perfectly normal lang maging concerned when you read or here about issues regarding vehicles, especially kung bibili ka... kasi syempre first consideration is yung safety, quality and then value for money diba?

actually sir, lahat naman ng mga sasakyan may mga issues, some minor, some major... it just so happens na dito kasi sa threads natin, parang bukas na libro tayong lahat, pinaguusapan ang lahat ng nangyari sa mga pups. now because of this, a lot of the readers here, members or not, na address kaagad yung mga issues nila regarding their rides. yung iba mabilis na aksyonan yung iba natagalan. but the bottom line is at least alam nating lahat n amay remedyo naman.

ang maganda pa nga dahil na airout yung mga issues, eh medyo alam mo na or handa ka na kung sa kaling may mangyari nga sa iyo na ganito. ika nga "for every bushel of apples collected, there is always one apple that has a worm in the core"

i am sure may mga issues din naman yung ibang brands and models out there, pero hindi lang kasi as openly discussed as it is here in our thread. medyo tahimik yata kasi yung mga owners ng ibang brands, kaya medyo nasa dilim sila regarding issues with the vehicles.

yung unit ko is one of the first to arrive in the Phil. '06 na GLS, sobra laking abuso na ang tinangap ng katawan, makina at pangilalaim nito dahil sa trabaho ko, pero the only major issue i had with it is mag eexpire na warranty ko - at wala akong ma iclaim!!!

so feel free to browse around the thread some more, or maybe even meet the bosbs when we have our weekly meetings, just so you will see and here first hand about the pups and you can ask your questions para address naman ng tama,

hope this helps sir..
good luck with whatever vehicle you decide to purchase

some pickups and suvs have a shift on the fly feature for their 4h but only on unpaved roads. so please bear this in mind and verify with your 4x4s if you can shift on pave or unpaved roads because damaging your 4wd system can be a really costly mistake.

ok lang naman shifting on pave or unpaved roads, going uphill downhill,, so far di pa naman nasisira 4wd system ko... hehehhe

sir arvin, ok lang ata yung blinking once you shift from 2 to 4, once set na sa 4h and moving..... steady light na...

now regarding the SCV, si doc boz ang professional na diyan!! hehehe

Di naman bro. Nagkataon lang na matagal-tagal ko rin inobserbahan ang takbo ng makina bago naayos ng casa.

ang maganda pa nga dahil na airout yung mga issues, eh medyo alam mo na or handa ka na kung sa kaling may mangyari nga sa iyo na ganito. ika nga "for every bushel of apples collected, there is always one apple that has a worm in the core"

Aprub. Galing talaga ni mechanic Arvin. May kasama pa quote. Pakitagalog naman bro? Hehehe

[patapotatoe]

patapotatoe, regarding the suden increase in RPM, lately i've been getting a lot of questions about that.... did this happen along with the sudden slowing down of the vehicle? ie galit na galit yung makina pero ayaw na humatak? tapos may parang malakas na hagok ng hangin yung makina? umilaw ba yung check engine light mo?

the usual culprit here is that some stupid or idiotic casa personnel who did your last change oil did not tighten the intake hose from the air cleaner to the turbo.... mangyayari sa iyo niyan is lkimp home mode.... pinaka mabilis mo is 30KPH pero feeling mo sasabog yung makina mo dahil galit na galit na yung andar niya... most of the time it has nothing to do with the air sensor but a lot to do with negligence and carelessness from the casa personnel. i thin i made a post regarding this a few hundred pages back on the pms thread, try to look it up. it might be helpful.

now regarding the SCV, si doc boz ang professional na diyan!! hehehe

Thank you Sir Arvin, Sir Boz, Bro Ian and everyone who replied to my post. At least all your replies shed some light to what really happened to my unit. Sir Arvin very helpful yung post and link na binigay niyo. And the description you gave about the 30kph tpos umiiyak na makina is exactly what happened to me. Will just double check the hose once I get my unit back.

Anyway just to update you, the Casa called me this afternoon and told me that if the replacement parts arrive this week they can release my unit by Saturday. I'm not really sure if the problem escalated from the intake hose that they were not able to connect properly but they will replace both my SCV and airflow sensors. Good thing covered pa ito ng warranty. I hope that this problem does not happen to other Strada owners. But despite what happened I still have no regrets with my Strada. It's just sad that negligence of some people result in incidences like this. But on a positive note I'll be getting my baby back this Saturday. woohooo! Thanks again for all the help Sirs it is very much appreciated.
