AY - Fresh na fresh yang nakuha nyo ah

swerte yan bro. Clear pa ang conduction sticker nya, wheels are stock, kinis pa ng paint. Ayos din kasi may roll-up lid na. Mahal yan eh.

Did you get the Suby?

Whew! 700k for a 2nd hand Dmax! I didn't know it is still that expensive. If you are opting for brand new, try inquiring at different dealerships and choose the one that could give you the best offer.

Pertaining to bounciness, if the bed is empty, for me I find it tolerably bouncy but only in uneven roads but if the bed is full, it's like gliding on the road. If you drive it often, you wouldn't even notice anymore. My answer is it is relative. It depends on how sensitive a person is.

I have driven both the Hilux D4D 4x4 A/T and Dmax 4x2 LS .... IMO mas matagtag ang Dmax than the Hilux. I have been driving pickups for more than 20 years... yung Hilux na modelo... I'd consider it like driving a sedan car.... all the rest (including the DMax) are plain pick-up.

BTW yung old Isuzu Fuego LS also have very soft ride for a pick-up.

Kung patagtagan ang basehan, wala ng tatalo sa Nissan Frontier

memph - ako pumili nyan sa axis lot... hehe..758T-38T(discount)-30T(maxima)= 690T. fresh talaga....taga LP ang 1st owner...

sadly, di suby kapalit ko...under 1M na sub-compact hatch...antay lang namin ung P.O from the bank, then ung release ng car...katagal ilabas ang brand-new, lalo na kung loan...pero i think its worth my wait.

Hello mga sir, tanong ko lang po, almost lahat po ba ng Dmax Owners na may engine na ITEQ 3.0 CRDI nakakaexperience ng MIL problem? un nalang po kasi pumipigil sakin na bumili ng DMAX and also the Fuel Consumption, i read some forums that DMAX 3.0 has a 9 to 11KM/L consumption. totoo po ba yun? pero sabi samin ng isuzu cabanatuan 18km/L daw po ang review ng DOE. ano po kaya ang totoo kasi po kung nag 9km/l siya. masiyadong mababa.

and regarding po sa MIL problem, ang reason daw po nun ay nakargahan ng maduming diesel thats why ngwawarning. maganda nga daw po un kasi winawarningan ka na niya kaagad before maasira engine mo. bagong fuel filter lang naman daw ang solution dun and follow your PMS. is it true?

i was inquiring at shell station for manual transmission fluid replacement using rimula 15w-40 like the manual says. but the keep insisting they use spirax 90 for transmissions. lalo na may dispenser sila for that para insert sa refill hole.

is that ok?

is it normal for phil. conditions to use diesel engine oil as manual transmission fluid?

btw. the fluid still looks clean even after nearly 2yrs of use. but i opt to replace it narin coz matagal na sya.

YUP palitna mo na yan kurt... kahit malinaw p yun oil mo meron din mga metyal shavings nyan sa loob and mawawala rin ang minerals or aditives ng oil over time.. kaya suggestion ng IPC is every 20,000 or 1 year.... DONT use gear oil 90 sa transmission but engine oil 15w40.... isuzu lang gumagamit nyan... malinis naman taalag oil ng transmiision kahit 5 years pa yan lalot engine oil gamit nag isuzu...
