hi, i'm planning to replace my thermostat. you mentioned an air bleed bold located under the left front passenger seat. that cap like/cover just right above it. is that where the thermostat is?
They have these little trucks and vans in the Philippines and the take them from and ship them there but before they do they chop them into pieces so they can sell them as “parts” and avoid the import taxes and then they reassemble them and make them left hand drive…they are completely refurbished with new interior and new paint and seats…I wonder what the oil change interval is on them?…
Very good tutorial......i have a nissan clipper which is similiar my entire engine is located below the driver and passenger seat and i dont think my bonnet opens. Would you happen to know how i can change a bulb in my headlight? I cant figure out how to get to it.
we have the mini truck that takes the round air filter just wondering if these mini truck have a fuel filter and if it does where is it located.we are having trouble with it not wanting to run when you get in third gear
Quick question for anyone who has owned one of these neat little trucks for a long period of time. With great maintenance and easy, careful driving habits, how many miles/kilometres have you clocked between overhauls of the engine? I have lived in the Philippines for the past six years and Suzuki mini trucks (many imported used or in pieces from Japan) are in service all over the country. It is hard to know just how long they could last as I often see the trucks abused and with very poor maintenance. I see many different makes of vehicles run with only water in the cooling systems and often with no radiator cap installed. Many rides see few if any oil changes. It is almost as if the owners find it cheaper to rebuild/repair than do proper maintenance. We now have Suzuki Carry trucks available brand spanking new in the Phils and I would appreciate knowing what I could reasonably expect if I purchased a new turbo-diesel, gave it superior maintenance and drove it gently? Thank you in advance for any replies.
@@awhensley Thank you for the reply. I did not purchase a truck after posting my question, the pandemic got in the way. We are now thinking it may be time as we plan to do some camping with our young crew.
i was looking into purchasing a mid 90s suzuki or mitsubishi. was just curious what wiring is like on them. i’ve heard they’re backwards from domestic vehicles? i was planning on wiring in some lights, plus a winch control once purchased.
Just curious. How much can these thing rated to carry, cause i have seen these things well i was over seas carry adleast a dozen ppl or sand/rock/metal above the back window. Ie thousands of lbs, way more then they seam like they should be able to. Or do you think they are WAY under rated for carrying capacity.
These little Japanese kei class are rated for 850lbs the next size truck up is not much bigger but can have ratings up to 2200lbs! Those are typically what you would see doing the heavy work
Four Sons Off-Road Inc. Well that could be true. I know i have seen duelly one do a alot too but did not see many of them. Was just really impressed, camparing how much work per size compared to a full sized heavy duty truck in the states adleast in the hauling side.
Hello, I have a 1997 DD51T with F6A motor. In your video, you mentioned gear oil filler and drain plugs are at the transfer case area. Is that just for the oil in the transfer case and there are separate filler + drain plugs for the gear box -or- one set of filler + drain plugs for both transfer case & gear box? Thanks advance for your reply. Great video by the way!
I use Premium, 91/93 octane (America) in mine otherwise it runs poorly. (I use premium in all my small engines from my Harley to the lawn mowers. Tends to keep them running well) I also put SeaFoam in the tank with the 76,000 KM on the odometer. Have no idea if it really help it but it's just "one of those things I do" with all my engines, small or large to keep things clean.
@@chrischapman276 I use 91 octane ethanol free gas in my truck. When I bought it the truck had been sitting for 18 months with ethanol fuel in it. The ethanol blend ate a hole in the gas tank that cost me $800 USD to replace.
You talked about type of oil to use in it... I use good quality diesel oil in not just this but all my vehicles. 10-30 I believe. Might be 10 40. Regardless, if it's good/best for my Cummins, it's best for my 3 banger
Hi there, a differential pinion seal is a very common replacement item on any vehicle with that type of axle. Over time the seal can wear out or crack and even just a piece of dirt stuck in there will cause it to leak. I only have the base suzuki specs which says to use a 75W-80 GL5 oil in the differential
Hi there, unfortunately we are only able to sell in Canada. There are many places in the US selling mini trucks though so shouldn't be too hard to find.
The 1990 Carry will be very similar except for the the air filter, they used 2 different sizes of cylindrical filters so you will need to measure before you order. Also you will want to check and replace your distributor cap and rotor if it hasn’t been done in a few years and is worn or corroded. You should be able to find all those parts from a supplier like www.minitruck.ca
We typically don't, we usually use wix or JS right out of Japan. However the purpose of this video was to provide info. The Fram unfortunately is the easiest to find therefore we provide it so you can cross reference everything else off of it. Your welcome
I could use any information you got on the 4 wheel drive system. When I shift into 4 high you can hear everything working but it doesn’t show it’s in 4 wheel drive. I have to peck on the 4 wheel drive control box with something then it goes into 4 high.
Kentucky Raised not sure what model and year you have but the 4x4 system on these newer carrys has two parts to it. When you pull the 4wd lever it is pulling a mechanical cable that is shifting the transfer case to engage power to the front diff. The front diff is engaged via an electronic solinoid that engages the front axle sending power to the wheels. I have seen something as simple as a low battery cause the front diff to not engage but also it could be due to a wiring issue or just faulty solinoid which you can replace (just check your battery first haha) If it's an older stly Suzuki then the front diff is vaccum engaged so you would have to check vaccum lines or again the actual vaccum switcher in the front diff.
Four Sons Off-Road Inc. I’m sorry it’s a 2001 db52t. The 4 wheel drive works sometimes and other i have to peck on what I’m guessing is the transfer case. It’s above the axle on the passenger side. It’s the little black box. Thanks again for taking time to answer my question.
That's the front diff and the little black box is called a Free Axle Control motor It engages and disengages the front axle. Check to ensure your battery is good first. If you regularly run the truck for short periods and start and stop the engine alot the battery voltage can get low enough that the truck might still run or boost easily but little items like the 4x4 electronics can start to get affected by the low mileage. If your sure your battery is good you can replace the little black box as it may be damaged or have moisture in it. (There is a little vent tube coming off the front that needs to be in place so if it's missing or cracked water can get in there.
i’ve got a 1991 every with the f6a turbo, we found the fram oil filter you use and tried it out but it actually leaks, not sure if maybe its just not tight but just wondering if anyone had the same problem. Have been leaking since i did the first oil change from off the boat
Oldest we have run them on is 94 (and a couple 99 turbos) I would check to make sure the old o-ring wasn't stuck to the oil filter mount on the engine as this is common and would definitely cause a leak. Other then that a full one turn after seating the filter should do it.
