Mga Sir, Baka po alam nyo kung meron ganitong style ng cover sa pinas. Thanks po.

Eto yata yung latest design ng Aeroklas. I saw another photo of this (different angle) with the name Aeroklas on the rear license plate.

Goodmorn mga sirs;

During my rummage sa mga scraps, I found a armor steel plate good for rear towing plate like what you have installed in your trucks, my concern is the thickness is only 5mm, but if I attach but side, do you think it can hold & pull normal wieght + 25%. How much is the thickness of your rear towing plate & cost in buying ready made, maybe it is more logical to buy the ready made offered than to fabricate in one of the shops.

Thanks RTS

bro, dapat sana mga 12mm or 16mm, we are using 16mm bro.....

FYI, if i remembered right, someone said na hindi lahat daw ng maiitim na usok eh masama meron din daw white smoke na mas masama. Sino ba ang nagsabi nun? hmmmm? Peace!

Thank bro . for the input re- rear tow plate spec., so definitely what I found is undersize plate, I'll try my luck again in the heap of scraps for at least 14-16 mm thickness or I'll just weld together the 2 plates & installed just one rear tow plate. By the way did you installed tow plates on both side of your truck?
Thanks again...RTS

sir BOZ question lang regarding sa SCV..

sabi sakin sa service hindi daw covered ng warranty ang SCV pag dirty fuel ang cause...

sa dirty fuel sir ang experience ko is to consume the current contents of the fuel tank, tiisin mo na yung walang hatak then pakarga ka nalang uli sa trusted na gas station.ang ginawa ko sakin is inakyat ko ng small hill ung truck ko from the foot to midway hirap humatak ung truck then finally 3/4 of the trail ok na,I did not need to have the SCV replaced. Nagkarga kasi ako ng diesel sa remote area sa bulacan (none of the BIG 3),some claim that kerosene even water is being added to diesel as extender causing this problem.Yun lang try mo muna sir kasi pag nag casa ka agad,chances are you will be spending atleast 10k,sayang pang mods na yun.

hi sir..ano ba unit ninyo? i suggest you change dealers and try having it warrantied elsewhere. btw, this SCV so far, very remote problem, usually caused in gas stations that have dirty fuel. If i remember, it happened to only two strada's. so it may not be a manufacturing problem. i hope its really isolated cases.

i suggest you call around dealers and find out... strada is still selling like hotcakes especially with the facelift. and the color you requested..is a sure headturner.

sayang nga sir..we were expecting more baguio beans members to be there. next time.

that's an interesting experience sir.... Im just wondering....how's the condition of your engine now? do you still experience this sudden stalls or anything?

Because I have a theory on your case....I think the fuel you loaded to your truck is not dirty or maybe not that dirty but rather its formulation has too much extenders.. just like what you said they do put in such things....because IMO its really prevalent in provinces to add this such extenders like kerosene and the others to cut on fuel cost....So maybe thats why the performance returned to normal, when the fuel with a lot of extender was already burned the new loaded fuel takes over the system and its back to its old operation again....

again its just a theory....because basing from one of our member's experience(bigblock) on his truck he heard unusual knocking sound and seen an adequate production of smoke by the exhaust which is really unusual to the strada and not just the stalling alone....when he had his problems with the SCV

However....If I were you I would still make the effort of going to the casa and have it diagnosed using the computer(I forgot the acronym of Mitsu's diagnostic sytem)and to see if theres anything unusual on its operation just to be sure that no further damage has been done....libre naman yun...
