    241OR Ruby Tcase conversion, input needed

    input as in advice, as well as the actual input. some years ago, I came across a broken t case from an automatic rubicon. typical, in that the front case was shattered at the output bearing. so, this summer I got a new case half from Mopar. now, I have not a transmission on the ground to fit...

    Dont Call it a Build Thread

    yes, never cheap out on a mitsu, they never cheaper out on u! I have a wrecked Japanese pajero. it's a noteworthy mention , that the vehicle was nearly in perfect condition and it is older than my scrap salvage 91 model. vehicles don't seem to beimportant to americans

    cabin cooler, modern insulation for aging monteros

    now, I've tamed or brought to heel many errant road noises, like muffler pipe drone (reflectix behind the cargo bay panel passenger sideshuts down all pipe noise), and I've developed enough decibel drop to hear, now specific noises and their sources. the one road noise I'm really strughling...

    cabin cooler, modern insulation for aging monteros

    thank you for this. hytech is an option I looked into, and yours is the first forthright result I was able to track. if I went this way a clear coat with the granules would be nice, or else white roof, if it don't look too stupid with mitsu maroon. lay it on hope for the advertised 31 degrees...

    D50 Diesel Build

    I can contribute. cooling, the newer brass cores from pacific, and others, offer louverred fins, and dimpled tubes.all in a successful effort to increase cooling efficiency, without increasing size. I am going to address the cooling system this winter on my 6G gen 1 montee. I will flip the axle...

    cabin cooler, modern insulation for aging monteros

    I've researched similar results to yours, and I too am skeptical. currently I'm looking at a number of proven industrial products, including the purchase of the granulated ceramic , and mixing my own. not sure yet and the costs involved are substantial. I need a number of projects to use it on...

    cabin cooler, modern insulation for aging monteros

    and.... I'm experimenting with a ceramic coating for the roof, inside and out to both reflect and retain . window tint. there is the traditional film, but I'm looking into vinyl wrap, surface treatment too, which might accomplish the same thing with potential benefit unavailable with perm. tint

    cabin cooler, modern insulation for aging monteros

    I learned that u can use a cheaply priced product like thermtec from summit, which is a smelly butyl rubber, and use my new fav. reflectix , bonded to the sticky side. this creates a somewhat stiff ,double side reflective foil and seals in the stink. lay the foil side of the therm tec , down...

    repower the gen 1

    this topic is worked to death, so I'm gonna whip this dead horse again, cause the numbers mitsu gives us has my head spinning.... can I use the newer 2.4 turbo engine with my gen 1 automatic? it seems the 2.4 is the engine to have if 4 cylinder is my choice. I envision, a gen 1 turbo 4 with...

    Gen1 SWB 2.6 to 3.0 swap

    ridiculous might be too strong a term. the 4.3 swap into , anything, has proven itself to be a smart move. for every Japanese make. especially since aforementioned GM drivetrain, can be purchased for as little as 300.00. the 2.6, currently in the rig, what model is that one? but back to the...

    Gen1 SWB 2.6 to 3.0 swap

    I've often wondered about the starion 2.6. it's a lovely option, but, I could never get a strait story on bellhousing patterns, as most jabber was about front wheel drive cars.. a twisted up 4 turbo sounds oh so fun. it might be lighter too, and maybe more efficient.... now, to find one...

    cabin cooler, modern insulation for aging monteros

    yes I use similar in strips to reduce harmonics in road vibrations or most importantly for the stereo comp. fellows in uuwanted harmonics. Noico, rammat, summits version, all good, but ineffective for thermal insulation, and its heavy. the reflectix, is heaven sent for operator comfort , as...

    Oil pan gasket - Gen 2.5, 3.5L

    this , u did not hear from me but I'll say it anyway. "The right stuff" or equilivent and ur first technique u explained to us, should get u a fix u can live with. loosen pan , drain oil, save for refill if it's still good. use starting fluid, not brake clean. use ventilation and not an...

    cabin cooler, modern insulation for aging monteros

    In the years I've been behind the wheel of my gen 1 monterro, I've had numerous adventures -pleasant and not so pleasant. one companion with me on all of these , was road noise, and lack of temperature control. I am driving a greenhouse on wheels, which of course, means hot in summer, a cold...

    Gen1 SWB 2.6 to 3.0 swap

    this is an interesting swap. but kinda pointless in some ways. a v6 swap ..... with the issues u would encounter, just going from mitsu to mitsu would be issues very similar to swapping in a gm v6 from an s10, with a vastly greater result.. example, likely the 2.6 radiator is fizzled and may be...

    What did you do to your Mitsubishi today?

    new to this thread, I am. today I began the serious task of sound proofing my gen1. I'm using mat from raamaudio. tear doors apart, stick the rubber to inner door skin. (doesn't change much) , mitsu built very solid doors. but I'm trying for road /tire/harmonics, noise reduction. luxury liner...

    gen 1 upgrades planned for january

    my poor , longsuffering montee, is going under the knife again this winter. this time for some unique life changing alterations. this is not a tummy tuck but more along the lines of a gastric bypass. I will drop a gen 2 radiator , custom built, where there is now a gen 1. this done by flipping...
