thank you!

all true, kinda. use caution and go with 4. the common explaination, and I'm unsure of its accuracy is that 5 is too slippery for many synchro rings. there is a point where they fail to do their job because of this, essentially grinding themselves to death. this has been a common problem on zf 5...

complete oposite perspective here. our current aid in traction control is superior in every way, to what worked 15 years ago. automatic shift is vastly superior to manual gear. thus said, there is a fun factor, to the equation, absent that factor, u get the modern gx 570 or the Discovery, or...

ditto on cleaning. it's an electrical item and must be treated as such. lesson learned.

any help out there?? Thx dave

hey guys, I hate to even bring this up, but the cars are blessed from the factory by a shinto priest. there are spirits involved here. when there is a bond created it runs deeper than just appreciation. getting rid of a mitsu is often an ordeal. there are any number of forces at work. it is why...

first thing is to check for electrical current at the compressor after disengaging the unit. no power? clutch is sticking, which is what I suspect. power still ? u have a voltage current problem the torque of the engine is holding the clutchurch in the engaged position untill u release the...

please help if u are able. I assume the gen 3 has rack and pinion steering. would a kind soul be kind enough to get me the following dimension? the overall distance from tie rod end to tie rod end, outer to outer, with wheels in the strait forward position, the purpose , if it's important, is...

I'm confused. call me that and worse names time I'm done with this rant. are u playing serious here? all this happy horses**t about surviving, and the needed toys and accessories, is good for um, what? ur only good as ur fuel source, water source; only mobile as long as roads are passible, and...

Likely ur pRobles is solved with the new part. I believe u bought the last one in existence in North america. at about 80 dollars? I don't recall exactly. but the dealer told me such was the case, and I declined his offer. my light burns brightly yet on the dash. now comes the fun part R&R...

well, tap it first so u have clean threads...

the shocks are different on the mounting pad for LCA. gen 1 has a forked pipe and attaches to the arm with 2 bolts. gen 2 uses a bracket with a thru bolt. why u don't buy the bilsteins from the AZ. crew? the Japanese shocks sAve for the koni brand, I find to be unsatisfactory for our rigs. even...

mine has been on for years.

good news there

I have one in a pajero that I will part with. but the paj, is in oregon.

as for smacked ball joints, likely the truck has been out of spec a long time, previous get by alignments, got by. replacing with poor quality joints will expose weak alignment work, because of fast wear. the triple 5 products from Japan are an alternate to the OEM, stuff.

all u can do. it's a circular,mess, changing one spec changes another and around u go. one important spec, spring height , if not in factory dpec, u will never get the others to fall in line. that was my problem. I need new springs to gain the proper ride height side to side, b4 the other specs...

I have fought this same battle for 2 years. I upgrade my gen 1 to gen 2 front arms. double yoke shims are mandatory, washers a pain and the thickness is never right. if I remember , they don't fit around the bolt without making a flat spot for them mind is still not right. any really good...

instead of a repower, for now anyway. I'm considering a re trans. the low point on our gen1 rigs is power. I've heard numbers as high as 30 percent to drive the aisin. it is a notoriously inefficient transmission. is to wa585, NAG 1 transmission in our future? worth a serious investigation. I...

I love my mercedes cars, detest their quirky engineering, and have had poor result with their diesels. but I'm impressed with ur set up. personally I have only 1 diesel left in my motlet assortment of rigs. I'm unsure if I will ever buy another. but promise to look into this further.
