Isuzu Crosswind Owners Thread [continued]

[Sherwin Erive]

mga master new member here! Ask sana ako ng tulong. Crosswind 2003 XUV ride ko. May alam na kayo na trusted mechanic sa cavite. Ipapacheck ko sana ball joint ko need na ata ng replacement. And sino may alam nung Isuzu Parts Shop daw sa Dasmarinas, cavite. Baka may makapagbigay ng directions. Thanks in advance!

Hi bros! The rear LH shock absorber of My 2003 Crosswind XUV is already due for replacement. Can you suggest a good replacement?
Based on what i've read most people say KYB brand is good enough. Can you suggest specific models, or the exact part number so it will be easier to ask around at parts shops.

Also, is it still possible to add about 1 to 2" lift to this model without doing extensive modifications? TIA!

share ko lang sa sluggishness issue with crosswind: recently meron akong ilang trips sa gas station para ipa drain yung separator dahil sa tubig at dumi nang fuel. decided na ipa-drain na din fuel tank. ayon, daming dumi/lkalawang na naipon sa tank at pipes.

after the cleaning, crosswind runs like the wind ;). ramdam ang difference sa responsivenes. may work for your, too.

hmmmm.. halos araw-araw ako sa makati driving my isuzu pero wala pa namang sumisita (knock on wood ). i guess, courtesy of Devil'sOwn!!! nasubukan ko na din once yung 2T kaya lang di ko pa na check kung talagang bawas usok kapag high rpm na.

btw, had "unplanned" replacement of front brake pads (orig TDW to Delta brand) sa Timog Tirehause. Inabot ako mga 2k (inclusive of P500 labor + tips). i know driving-habit dependent pero parang ang aga yata for 35k mileage? sabi nung mechanic mabilis talaga dahil AT.

any suggestions on the brake pads for rear? (preparing for it next)

bago pa ito para magka-alon alon ang braking nang crosswind . I hope nothing major like rotor damage. haaayyy

About 2T oil, dba ang mga trycicle na 2 stroke engine ay gumamit ng 2T oil din napakausop. Paano kung lagyan din ng 2T oil ang diesel fuel ng Xwind natin baka ang usok ay parang usok tricycle na rin.

paki search na lang thread dito tungkol sa 2T and diesel mixture. i think dvldoc started it. lots of insightful exchanges in that thread. baka informative sa yo. di ako expert dito ;)

Mgo brod, pwede pa bang i-lift or taasan ng 1 to 2 inches ang Crosswind XUV?

pag nagpa reface ng rotors, kelangan bang bagong brakepads din? wala pa kasing 3 mos yung existing pads . pero di n din pantay kasi may konting uka sa gitna nung pads.

try mo check yg kalang sa leaf spring na gawa nung mga vans (urvan, hiace etc). will have same lift effect din at mas mura.
