Isuzu Dmax Owners [ARCHIVED]

[maxXxed]

at this time, both the fortuner and alterra are in their break-in pd.. both are basically new releases.. one factor to consider is the driver's will to push the limits (well, if u'r not worried of the consequences of overworking ur engine during the break-in pd )

the alterra crDi lacks the acceleration of dmax's 4jh1 but has more to give with it's 140hp engine in long stretches when it has achieved momentum

... Soon To Arrive (august 2005) Dmax 4x2 Lx - P930k (ckd)...

On second thought, maybe this is the D-Max SLX model with lower ground clearance & a 2.5 Ddi engine. Hmm...

I'm a bit surprised as well as amazed at the speed, coz I've read from another thread that one new Fortuner owner reached 140kph on his break-in period and was able to overspeed the Alterra which I think is the same with Dmax in most cases. What do you think of this? Is it because of the added weight of the body compared to a pickup truck?

Sir, I think the driver is a factor here.

D-Max 4x2 A/T, 160 kph tops.

whoa! I've reached 160 to0 on NLEX Though short-lived because engine noise and wind was really high. 140 is good but I usually do only 120. Kinda scary

Hehe. Ako nga pag umaabot sa 140 sinisigawan nako ni esmi.

Up ko lang.

Dmax geeks... have you guys ever experienced squeaky brakes? I've first experienced just less than a month ago. I called up isuzu and they gladly refaced and replaced the pads for free. Afterwards, the squeaking sound has come on back. What could be the problem? The only reason I'm thinking of has been the rain for the past weeks, which could be corroding the disks. but that should not happen... I dont have that problem on my other cars.

Yup, my D-Max had squeaky brakes before during the 1st 15,000 kms. The squeaks disappear when I have the linings sandpapered. Now at 23,000++ kms, the brakes are squeak-free. During the last PMS at 20T kms, I saw for myself that the linings were still thick.

another new problem. my panel light on the aircon goes off.

anyone who has an e-book (service manual) of dmax? pa-share naman.

[wildthing]

speed is no problem with the 4x2 LS dmax we drive (our office still owns it kahit na car plan sa amin kasi)...it can do 170kph on is odometer ... but I am not encouraging everybody to follow suit (actually even my frontier can do that speed)....anyways I love the acceleration of the dmax beter than the frontier...iba talaga ang intercooler turbo.

I have noted that I don't have anyproblem with the whole vechicle (like nginig at topspeed)...in fact mas mukhang mas stable yung dmax kaysa dun sa frontier ko when we are running speed above 160kph...mas feel ko na napakabilis na ng ride sa frontier...yung dmax swabe...gulat nga ako 170 na yung speedometer reading...parang 120 lang kasi yung cruising feeling niya

PS. I don't normally run this fast unless the road is clear (sa NLEX) and I am really in a hurry to reach my destination.

Anyways, my point is I am very satisfied sa dmax performance...laman siya ng dalawang ligo sa frontier 2.7 elite ko.

...I wonder how will the fortuner or hilux fair with the dmax???
