Yesterday damn bad luck... apart from SCV problem... now have MAP sensor failure! Aarrrgggghhhhh! Will check cost for replacement. If too expensive, I'm selling this junk away for cheap.

Replaced stock SCV with Isuzu... works but need adapter.

Here's the stock one...



Here's the Isuzu one...



So far ok... but need couple of days of test just to be sure...

Tricky to install - approx 30 mins.

SCV issue no Check Engine Light... no advance warning except for sudden power loss.

CEL will light up is MAP sensor kaput... just like my case... halfway driving to KL city via NKVE and suddenly, CEL came up and at least 50% power loss. Had to stop at rest stop to check... found vacuum hose to MAP sensor came loose. After replace with new hose, same problem. Reset with Bluetooth ODB also same. Conclusion... MAP sensor kaput. There goes another RM 600 bucks into the drain.

If this 4D56 engine kaput again... will throw away and replace with YD25 from Nissan Navara - good time since loan installment only left 3 more months.

True. After hitting 7000km, can feel truck sluggish on highway. After changing oil, power came back.

With new DMAX launching soon, thinking of upgrading.

Update after SCV upgrade. Seems performance is quite good. Better than stock previously. And this week, I got over 650km @ RM 110 for 60% highway and 40% city.

And sadly... I may have to give up this truck soon. Moving to Phnom Penh for business permanently. I wonder how much does a late 2007 going for these days? Apart from SCV, I have HIDs, new shocks and electric Aeroklas deck installed. Paintjob is so-so because I don't really like exterior mods.

If using stock SCV from Mitsu, should be around RM 600 just for SCV only. Installation is DIY. If u want DMAX SCV, slightly higher at RM 650 but can last longer. My stock Mitsu SCV kaput in Apr this year. Only changed last year during Hari Raya. Mitsu make shitty parts these days.

VGT have higher FC due to extra power... can't compare with older non-VGT.

400km in city is consider normal.

Upgrade SCV when your stock one going to kaput or u willing to try something new and fresh.

Yeah... better for business expansion. At least get to drive a Hummer H2 or Toyota Tundra... both are have V8 engines.

No Raptor there last I checked.

Yes if your stock SCV kaput in less than a year. No if your truck still ok.

Anyone looking for a 2007 Triton AT please PM me. I'm selling because moving to Cambodia permanently for business.

Basic mods:

1. Motorized boot lid by Aeroklas
2. H4 hi-lo HIDs
3. Air horn (twin)
4. Turbo timer
5. Door visors
6. Body wrap by Aeroklas
7. COB interior lights
8. Stainless steel turbo pipe from intercooler to intake manifold
9. Cat removed
10. Bug guard (front)
11. Isuzu DMAX SCV - solve the pesky SCV clogged issue
12. Heavy duty suspension - upgraded while in Thailand

Mine used mostly for work but only in cities and only once driven to Yala, Thailand (no worries, despite the gunfights, no bullet holes found)

Suitable for work. If u want comfort, advice to swap out the heavy duty shocks for stock.

Paint work still ok only minor scratches. Windscreen has 1 crack but will replace.

Nice number plate - came out in Magnum and Toto many times but I don't buy numbers.

I'm going to miss the truck. Really worth driving one for 5 years. Maintenance actually cheaper than my smart forfour for same period!

Sold my truck. After 5 years, it's time to move on.

No more truck. Will be using my smart forfour from now onwards. Frugal yet powerful.

Cute, agile and fast... already installed Titan and moved all my sound system from Triton to smart. Only problem is flooded roads. With Triton, I just need to cross it. With smart, need to find another route.

I used to. Behind the rear seat. Slim profile 10" subwoofer with custom made box.

Find a 300m flat stretch. Hold down the brakes. Release the handbrake. Shift gear to 1st. Jam the accelerator pedal. Release brake after hitting 2500 rpm and enjoy...
