New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

[KCboy]

would you guys know if the bed liner for the 09 and 10 strada are the same??? napansin ko kasi na the strada logo is embossed sa 10 strada, unlike sa 09 na Mitsubishi lang nakalagay, was wandering if it fits, maybe someone here sa forum wants a to trade....basta good condition yung bed liner.

(((IMO, AFAIK)))

the Bedliner for the Strada 2009 and 2010 should be the same since MMPC didnt bring in the extended bed found in other countries. It is the moulding that they have changed to make it different. Another point to consider is the thickness of the liner. The thicker it is would mean it may be more protective of the bed and would mean heavier- otherwise it "might" be prone to cracking if thiner. If you wish to go for the trade, proceed with caution to look for anything unusual like cracks, deformities, dents, etc...

good luck, sir.

Thanks sa info, mga around 70k plus nga talaga price ng g500. sa palawan kasi sabi mga 75k nga di ko lang sure kung ksama na ang shipment pay dun, sana kasama na hehe authorize dealer kasi sila ng carryboy sa palawan. Mga end of Feb. ppaaorder ko na un para pg uwi ko nkakabit na hehe. tapos tires naman pgdating ko manila, canvas na rin ako. Share ko lng new Strada ko hehe.

very nice truck you got there, sir... im pleased to know that the Majestic Red was not phased out... so i presume it is still available same with the Rosita Red. kewl.

Thanks bro, actually black talaga pinareserve ko 3 weeks before ako bumili, then when I visit there they said out of stock daw ung color black so I go for red kasi 2nd option ko rin un. Ah meron pala two different red colors ang strada, di ko alam hehe..

Hi Mga Strada Brothers,

Nahiram ko po yung Strada GLX ng sister ko papuntang Subic, may ka-convoy po ako. then nung medyo hinataw ko napansin nila bumubuga ng black smoke yung Strada, then merong isang Strada na di namin kakilala na nagovertake sa amin probably doing 160kph because I was already doing 140kph. They weren't able to get pics pero maitim daw talaga, pag normal cruise wala daw smoke pag humataw lang. Ok naman po hatak ng engine bilis magaccelerate, ano po kaya cause nung black smoke? only 6000kms on the odo, casa maintained. Unang naisip ko baka masyadong mataas viscosity ng oil na nagamit, then again casa maintained so there should be no problem with the oil viscosity tama po ba? Hope Strada gurus can enlighten me as to the cause of black smoke.

TIA

hi sir Jackson!^__^

I'm sorry to hear that you've experienced such a very rare case of the strada emitting black smoke.......and to think that it also happened 2 times in a row...

Unfortunately, from me and a most of the guys here...we couldn't give much personal advise with regards with your situation...because like what I said earlier...its like only once in a very rare time that we would encounter cases like yours....

However, I can give you some things to check onto & some hypothesis so that you can somehow point things out to your SA when you visit the dealership...

Here I go..=D

1.)
the one you said with regards to the OIL viscosity could also be the culprit.
but although you said that it was casa maintained and we assume that there is a very little room for error...I still wouldn't be so sure about it especially at times like what you are experiencing right now.....So please do some double checking on what oil was used and if its within the standard for the 4d56 and 4m41...

2.)
It might be having symptoms of a premature wear of the Suction Control Valve for the reason that you might have loaded some dirty fuel on it...and it just so happen that the real problems has not manifested yet because the dirt might not be fully accumulated yet enough to cause some changes in the engines performance and it turned out that the black smoke is only the first warning...so better have it checked immediately and not wait for the real problems to occur...

because there is already quite a number of TSCP members and owners that already experienced the SCV failure because of the dirty fuel....and having this black smoke is one of its symptoms and that doesn't exempt the relatively new ones if you really do have dirty fuel in the tank...

3.)
Since you've mentioned that it still only has 6,000Kms on the odometer I assume that it already had its 5,000kms PMS right? so for that reason the mechanic does the SOP of hooking its system up with the MUT for it to be check by the computer....So I suspect that the mechanic did some mis adjustments on the system which I think is enough already for it to produce that certain black smoke....because even though the mechanics had all the trainings necessary for them to effectively use this new system they are still getting jumbled up and confused at times because IMHO having a laptop infront of you and a wrench & screw driver at the same time in both hands still needs a lot of getting used to for our Filipino mechanics....But this is only a hypothesis there is still a big percentage that I could be wrong and it could be still something else...

So I would greatly advice that you visit your dealership the soonest possible time and I hope they can figure things out.... and please do update us after your visit...

HTH....^__^

and let's also wait for the others on what they have to say about your problem... to help you even more on solving the smoke problem...=D

nice reply bro LR777!

sir jackson, minsan sama ka sa mga funrun ng TSCP so you could verify kung normal yung smoke na nakita mo... and better kung mahiram mo ulit yung strada ng sister mo, so we could see kung maitim nga yung usok na lumalabas. normal lang kasi yung puff of smoke (puff lang ha, hindi yung continous stream) pero baka sa ibang tao hindi normal yun... highly subjective, ika nga...

since wala pics, we could only surmise kung ano ang cause and kung cause of alarm na ba dapat sa sister mo yung smoke.

anyway, thanks for posting... we welcome these kind of posts so that we could be aware sa possible na problems ng strada... and we could prepare for the possible remedy/solution.

lastly, mura nga pala ang diesel sa subic since may certain tax exemptions ang mga businesses doon... whenever you are in the area, pa-full tank nyo na!

Hi Sir,

Thanks sa mga inputs.

1.) I will try to confirm with my service advisor if they used the correct viscosity in my Sister's truck.

2.) Katakot naman bago pa naman tapos kung SCV nga talaga ang problem. Basically one gasoline station lang talaga ang suki namin. Bago naman sya at di binabaha at lahat ng auto namin doon nagpapafill for the past how many years. May factor ba kung medyo nasagad yung fuel tank, yung tipong umiilaw na tapos di agad nagpa-gas? We usually don't do that, usually pag abot ng 1/4 fill agad pero naalala ko there was one time na nasagad talaga, could it be the culprit?

3.) Yup recently lang kami nagpaservice for the 5000kms PMS. Will try to bring the unit this weekend sa casa for check up.

Siguro what I will do later is see for myself kung puff lang or continous talaga yung black smoke. Kasi yung mga ka-convoy ko grabeng grabe pero I personally did not see the extent of the smoke plus wala din ako napansin from the mirrors.

Thanks!

Hi Sir TP,

Dati ko pa nga gusto sumali sa TSCP, fan talaga ako ng Strada, problem is hirap hiramin sa Sis ko nung truck, gustong gusto din nya, tsaka medyo tight din ang sched kaya di ako makadrop by sa mga regular eb's. Anyway, Montero ang ride ko so same bloodline naman, tuwang tuwa lang ako sa strada kasi ang gaan kaya feeling mo mas malakas siya humatak kahit same engine. I guess 200kgs difference is really big iba kasi humatak strada compare to my monty.

Yup mura talaga gas at diesel sa Subic, kaya yung Petron doon laging pila. Difference of almost 3 pesos compare here sa Manila.

I will try to rev the engine of my sis' strada, then kung maitim padin I'll take a pic then post it here for update tsaka I personally did not see the smoke so might as well verify it kung malala talaga. Thanks!

Baka kulang lang sa hataw paminsan minsan.
Or dirty diesel. I remember before when I was using Caltex (w/o Techron), I also noticed na bumubuga ng black smoke kapag hinataw ko after a long time of smooth running. Para bang naiipon sa exhaust (muffler ba tawag dun). Pero pag inulit ko ng hataw, wala na black smoke. But when I went back to Petron, di ko na napapansin to. O baka hataw lang ako ng hataw kaya nalilinis palagi. Di ko pa na-try yung Caltex w/ Techron. Sana effective.

Guys, I was traversing SLEX yesterday from Southwoods to Alabang at a constant speed of 80kph and record a 16.2km/l in my monitor! All stock GLS. Makes me wonder if I should upgrade my tires to 265/65/17 AT tires. Or even with a 265/65/17 HT tires.

Puedeng puede. My GLS Sport on 275/70R16 ATs can do 15km/liter at 80kph.

Puwede nga din, because city driving lang madalas, at di nga talaga nahahataw yun ng sister ko, maybe its time for some italian tuning hehe

BTW, Petron DieselMax lang gamit namin ever since nakuha un.

Thanks sir Boz. Really liked an AT for my ride. First, it doesn't easily or never get flat if you accidentaly run over a nail or screw. Second, doesn't wear easily. Maybe you'll have a 100k odo reading before changing a new one. Third, for an unexpected need of AT tire on an unexpected rough road along an out of town trip. And much more... But the only downside I had on my previous Strada with AT tire, is the vibration and noise. Especially when running over those highway bumps (the white stripes along some part of SLEX).

hi mga sir! Yung tumutulo po pala sa STR is yung gear oil, may leak po sa yung dalawang oil seal ko. already have a sched kasi 3 days daw sa casa yung STR ko. they claimed it sa warranty po.


the SA was joking kung ano daw ba gusto kong ipalit niya muna na kotse kanina kasi kasama ko si gf, baka daw may date ako. Montero na automatic daw ba o Pajero na automatic, oo naman agad ako kala ko serioso siya, dahil kung serioso siya iiwan ko na agad si STR doon for PMS and repairs. haha :bwahaha:

posible din yun sir....I remember back then when we still have another brand of pickup din... it only has 16k kms on it back then...nung ipapatest namin sa emission for registration yata or napag tripan lang hehe can't remeber exactly ...sobra ang usok nya...kasi inde nga daw nabibirit....so ang ginawa nung nag eemission test binomba ng binomba yung pedal up to 3.5k RPM...tapos katakot takot na usok ang lumabas for about 2 to 3 minutes of revving....then after nun ok na ulit pumasa na sa emission....then nung dinala namin sa casa for a check up....ang sabi samin nung SA naiipon nga daw kasi yung carbon dun somewhere in the muffler kaya kapag binibirit at tumataas ang pressure sa muffs saka lang nailalabas yung carbon na yun through smoke.....
