thanks Sweeks that answers the question.

Do all of the new pickups also comes with ECU's and sensors

like the Mazda B2500/BT-50, Ford ranger, Isuzu, Nissan Frontier

and i guess if they come with ECU, they should also have Diagnostics testing for them

another question, I've notice, if not all, but Most of the new diesel vehicles do not come with Pre-Heating before they start..... what kind of technology or system has taken its place

Silva Mera ... TTTL do not use syntec with the diesel engines as far as I know. I believe they use syntec with the gas engines.

Unlike the other dealership, TTTL does not void the warranties if you do not service with them. So it makes sense servicing outside. The original air filter makes a difference with the turbo diesels.

323_Wagon ...the 1000km is basically an oil change and if there's any reported problems they check it out.

Actually, they have become more stringent in their rules. I tried to have them do a check on a corolla wagon f-used for me and they refused. I own over ten vehicles from them. U may just get way with a simple oil change.

Alright guys... I know we talked about those of us who pull off in second gear without load and it has been stated in certain vehicle manuals that this should not be done.

We didn't change clutch plate and pressure plate, etc until 150,000 km and we only changed it cause the mechanic had to take down the tranny to change the pilot gear bushings and when he examined the plates he said they would need changing soon in a couple months. Meaning there was no trouble with the gears to recognise it as the cluthc plate / pressure plate, etc going bad.

This pickup has been roughed up and driven hard since we got it from myself and my brother. We did that servicing late in 2005. So it really lasted about 6 years. I think that it lasted long. If you guys think differently then I will rethink my driving technique.

Anyways, I used to pull off in 2nd cause I was pulling off slowly in traffic and I would just be chugging along slowly. First gear is a real PAIN in traffic.

Well these days I am little more conscious of pulling off in 2nd, but I still do it. Like I said, you guys think my clutch is not lasting long enough based on this driving technique, then I'll have something to consider.

BTW, anyone ever tried to pull off in 1st gear, on flat road, without using the throttle? I mean, just easing your foot off the clutch and your pickup moves slowly? I know mine does.

Let me get your feedback on this okay Question
