Hi guys, long time no post.

Just wanted to share. December 29, drove down home from baguio and loaded regular diesel at Petron (at the foot where you have that cluster of gas stations). Going up, i loaded half a tank of their new Turbo diesel and was quite happy with the performance.

After refueling and making a short bathroom stop to the Shell station across, I started to head back to Manila.

I was still able to manage to overtake a slower vehicle a few minutes after having left the station when I suddenly lost power and the gauges started to light up. It was a good thing that I was still able to park.

To cut a long story short, I made repeated attempts at starting the strada in several minute intervals. Simultaneously I was making calls to a towing company, a friend in tarlac, and a couple of mitsu dealerships in pangasinan.

Luckily, after 1.5 hours, the pickup started like nothing happened.

Some say it could've been bad quality diesel but i doubt it. Those stations have been there for sometime and are pretty active. I was thinking condensation and maybe water formed somewhere when the gas cap was opened? It was quite cold when I got down from baguio and maybe the spike in temp may have caused it?

Very strange. Any ideas? My pickup is working fine.

Also, parang naghang ata yung remote ko kahapon. The orange dot is perpetually lighting up and the lock/unlock wont work.

i hate the winterpine alarm system on our pickup trucks. too complicated.
