Isuzu Dmax Owners [continued]

[Benzmizer]

sir benz. may tanong ako sayo about DMAX po..

2 weeks ago. biglang na busted ung headlight namin..

pinacheckup namin sa CASA.. tech2 ba tawag nun.. no problem.. tapos i have with my ABS, brake pad and airbag sa dashboard. biglang iilaw. tapos bigla mawala. hindi din nakita sa tech 2

so. bumili ako ng osram night breaker. pinakabit ko last week.. ok naman ang headlight. the next day . bigla na busted ang right high and lo. and sa left.. busted ung high.. do you have any idea bakit ganito nangyari? ok naman sa tech2 SCAN ang makina..

on my trooper queries.. can i add a MAG1 5w-30 brand for the isuzu trooper 4jx1 engine.. kasi parang kulang ang oil po. nasa gitna ung oil sa dipstick..

thank you b

Hmmm, that sure is odd. I feel the Tech2 scanner should be able to determine what's wrong.... and for sure something is wrong. Seemed like something is grounded. But what makes it really odd, your fuse should go off first before the bulb.... unless what's wrongs is from the fuse box to the headlight socket. Get a 2nd opinion from another dealer or a trusted and experienced electrician.

As for the Trooper, yes, you can top up the oil but no higher than the max level and use the suggested oil rating.

Opps, double post.

mukang ok daw ang MAG1.. yan din balak ko ipalit pagnatapos na warranty ko.

thank you for the reply..

there is only one CASA in our town.. ok lahat ung FUSE. walang busted. we check it one by one.. sa loob ng hood.. and baba ng steering wheel.

the mechanic - takot po ung abs, air bag and handbrake. baka lalabas ung airbag

ok - for the trooper

Hello guys,

Pa advice naman po, I own a 4x2 LS SE. im planning to put 33" tires and 16x10 or 15x10 rims. Kaso sasayad na pag ikakabig. Ano kaya mas mganda, body lift o suspension lift?
What are the advantages and disadvantanges?TIA

[baby_scar]

sir. pumunta ako sa CASA namin. sabi ng manager or technician.. busted ung headlight ko dahil daw hindi original, pwde ba yun? i only use osram night breaker.. about abs, airbag and handbrake sa dashboard.. tingnan ko muna naayos na ba. kasi they clean the sensor at tech2. wala sila nakita

Please check the water level of reservoir at the same temperature, if the engine is hot the water level is HIGH and when the engine is cold the water level is LOW.

Hi,

I have a 2005 Isuzu DMAX LS 4x2 Automatic. My car currently has 76400 kms. I Believe the ATF fluid has not been changed since new. Anyone knows what other parts I need to change aside from the ATF fluids? Do I need to change gaskets and filters? I bought a Shell ATF III (I think this is Dextron II compatible), Will this be Okay? Where is the best place to have the ATF change? Around how much would the labor cost?

thanks.

Partner, try to register at 4x4ph.com The guys there would better know if there is a local distributor of Maxxis here in the Philippines.

mukhang snob sila doon eh. pero ittry ko po. Thanks

Oh no, you'd be surprised. They're serious 4x4 fanatics but would surely share info if one needs.

Normal ba sa trucks natin with a loaded bed and incline road to move without gassing on 2nd gear? I tried it a couple of times last week in the province. Or baka my mali sa truck ko? BTW, it's a 2010 LS 4x2.

As I have read in an article of a 4x4 mag, a 4x4 test drive conducted by ISUZU Philippines in cooperation with Landcraft Philippines, yes, it can (and would) move at 1st and 2nd gear without stepping on the gas pedal. Ganyan katindi ang torque ng ISUZU D-Max!

..... I doubt if other brands could do that.

Thanks benzmizer for your reply. I was thinking my idling needs adjustment. Thanks again.

Even if it's the least powerful among the its category based on paper specs.

Correct! What most people miss understanding is TRUCKS and PICK-UPS are workhorses. You don't gauge it's "power" thru HP/PS alone. It's the TORQUE that matters.... or at the least, a good balance of HP and torque.

Example, mas preferred mo ba ang isang truck or pick-up na matulin pero sa akyatan, tukod?

[nels76]

Yon nga eh.
Doon sa ibang thread dito na nababasa ko, they recommend a pick up kasi it can do 180 (and faster) pa daw on NLEX / SCTEX.

DMAx has wide power band. Power is delivered even at lower RPMs.
Pero yong isang Pick Up diyan. The most powerful pero the power is delivered above 2k RPM. Kaya nilalampaso lang ng DMAx sa offroad eh.
