Isuzu Dmax Owners [continued]

[Benzmizer]

[QUOTE=nels76;1535293]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.

Yeah, i remember that exchange of "intellectual" ideas.

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.

+1. Here are some pics of the recent D-Max 4x4 Clinics conducted in VISMIN:

D-Max 4x4 LT


D-Max 4x4 Boondock


..... now I wonder if other brands can do this.

[khayman]

nagagandahan ba kayo ng RIM ng boondock sa picture? parang di ko gusto eh. yan ang RIM ng pick up namin. any suggestions kung ano ipapalit? ayaw ko ng 20 inches kasi sabi ninipis ang tire na kailangan gamitin and ti pwede sa rough road.

i want to hear your thoughts

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?

Like navara po ba? hehehe
Experienced na po kami sa isuzu. sa trucks,at pick up pinaka pinagkakatiwalaan ang isuzu.Our first isuzu pick up po ay Fuego 97 model. Until now maayos pa rin ang makina, Never pa binuksan o nang iwan sa daan.

sir benz, its hard to determine if both have the same power and displacement...

ang dmax sa labas has the V6 gasoline engine and our iteq 3.0 engine.. and the strada has a V6 gas engine,, 2.5 diesel crdi and the 3.2 crdi engine... so depending on which pick up has the bigger engine, for sure yun ang mananalo... sa first video mo., dmax has the 3.0 iteq dahil sa hood scope nya and the strada MAYBE has the 2.5 crdi engine lang... and the 2nd video MAYBE the starda has the 3.2 engine...

[jarhead]

but as per experience.. our dmax having the 4jh1 engine... and nilagyan ko ng 275/60r18 rim and tire combo hindi parin nabibitin ang hatak nya... malakas parin but the FC has lessen abit.. nsa 10-12 nlang kung hi way na takbo.. and nasa 8-10- kung city... due to the fact na off road tires rin nilagay ko sa 18 rims.. it could still run kahit naka 1st gear and not stepping on the gas and letting go of the clutch pedal slowly...

Mga Dmax lovers, kailan kaya darating sa Pilipinas ang model ng dmax ng may VGS na same as VGT ng ibang brand. Available na sya sa Thailand, Australia, UK, Africa, etc.. Gusto ko ring maging owner ng ISUZU DMAX.

gud pm po.. tanung ko lang po kung bakit nagbabawas ng tubig ang reserve tank ng radiator ko.. wala naman akong nakikitang leaks.. ok naman mga hose..nagpalit din ako ng radiator cap.. tnx..

good morning sir, either cylinder head (warp cylinder head) or cylinder head gasket mo my problem (need tightening or replace gasket). possible din water pump leaking (either gasket problem or assembly water pump replace). best way is to bring your vehicle to the casa for your concerns and ask for a warranty.

either way sir Both pickups are true workhorses! :thumbup:

i just really don't understand why some people speak of speed while riding their trucks which I think is really inappropriate because its really the TORQUE,OFFROAD CAPABILITY and DURABILITY that should be talked about when riding out trucks....

[offRoadilocos]

meron palang 4x4 LT? how much po kaya yun?

I just wanna show off my DMAX po pala. Pero Marami nang changes. Ill post my before and after picture pag matapos na ang transformation ng DMAX ko.

[offRoadilocos]

to all DMAX gurus,

Ano po kaya mas ok na kunin kong gulong? KUMHO KL71 o COOPER Discoverer stt? Ano po kaya advantage at disadvantage nila? sana po matulungan nyo ako mag decide. Thanks

[khayman]

[offRoadilocos]

[Benzmizer]

Cooper tires. If an actual off-roader with minimal budget, SIMEX would also be a good brand to use.

[Benzmizer]

Nice tires and rims you have there, partner!

[offRoadilocos]

Thanks po.

Given trucks these days are now lifestyle than they used to... Speed is also a nice thing to have...

Thats another thing an owner or a buyer should consider IMO...Its really just a good thing nowadays that we have a wide variety of choices in the market when it comes to pickup trucks...
