New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[av8or5]

thanks sa post sir. at least we know it's a legit complain. ill forward this also to MMPC. dont worry, i share your sentiments, mine is transmission way back 2007, but just like you, mine was an isolated case. hope we get to meet with you.

Sir av8or5 and sir locoroco777,

Here are the warranty reciepts for the past 4 months guys..thanks! Pa-zoom nalang..used my camphone.



Dec 15, 2009-problem with squeeky leafsprings


Jan 20, 2010-still having probs with leafsprings


Feb 10, 2010- Steering problem complained, replaced steering column assemby
- Still squeeky leafsprings and adjusted again


Feb 15, 2010- Leafspring checked again for squeeks and then fixed again
- Whistling sound in engine complained, bled fuel line and performed slql. Didnt get to fix that, they'll check resistance on injector when i bring it back
- problem with hood latch but they fixed it also


Feb 22, 2010- unusual noise with steering..'whee' sound..didnt get to fix that.
- fuel injector resistance replaced..supplied by mmpc

everything done under warranty. For reference purposes and not to discourage Strada owners because I for one, experiencing all this still loves my STRADA but just wants everything to run perfect coz got it BRANDNEW.

Thanks and more power!

Strada Owners!

TSCP will be having a mini EB tonight 8 pm at Metrowalk. You are all welcome to attend and join the BOSBs! You've taken the initial step (in buying a strada) and surely you dont want to be a 'square' and live a 'boxed-up' life, do you? So join us now to learn more about your strada and gain much much more! hehehe

contact me or any of the officers once you are in the area... our contact numbers are listed in our website...

i got the big url sticker from kimospeed, so for those who want one...get it while meron...6 lang yata na pagawa.

bro, baka well lubricated yung joints mo! hehehe

nag flanax ako. hehehhehe

Moderator's Note:

Because of the emergence of trolls here and in other TSCP threads, we would very much appreciate if new posters would post pictures of their stradas (you can cover the plate numbers if you wish) and other proofs of their problems (if possible). This is to prevent any doubts and establish that you are indeed what you claim to be.

We are closely monitoring those suspected trolls and once proven, will be dealt with severely.

On the lighter side of things, it only shows that others are really really envious to us strada owners... bakit kaya?

Now back to regular programming... hehehe

Hello Guys,

Just a quick question regarding ride comfort. Is it worth it to change my GLS rims and pirelli A/T 265/70 tires to Montero H/T tires and mags just to improve comfort? Is the diference really noticable?

TIA

hi bro!

in my case...when I change my tires to 265/70 mas lalo sya naging comfortable...now with regards to the H/T montero tires I think mas maliit yata yun....265/65 if my memory serves me right...

so if you ask me don't bother changing it, ok na yung current pirellis mo saka parang mababawasan ng muscle ang truck mo when you change to a narrower set of tires......

Thanks Sir

I'll use the money to buy a lid and bumper instead

I'll also decrease the pressure to f: 28 r: 27 and try it

yes sir...its better to spend the money nalang to other important things like what you have mentioned....

for the tire pressure....IMO para yatang ang baba masyado ng tire pressure mo sir...hehe....ako kasi I keep mine at 35psi...baka mag suffer ang fuel consumption mo nya sir...

Hmmm... my current fuel consumption with 2.5 GLS automatic is 8.0 km/l using 30f 28r. My route is commonwealth to shaw everyday, via edsa... where there is usually traffic. Is my fuel economy bad?

I've also heard that if the tires are underinflated, it would also lead to faster thread wear.

chief, i think the recommended tire pressure for our trucks is at least 30PSI. ako personally ginagawa ko is 30F 35R. regarding my fuel economy, it hovers around 9.8 up to a little more than 10 KM/L. tingin ko maiimprove ko pa yun. yung sayo i think sakto lang yun since medyo sapul mo nga yung traffic sa route mo.

I'm using the same tire pressures, 30F 28R and I'm getting 9.5 km/l (GL model), so the difference is more likely to be due to the route and transmission.
