I have only added grease to the fitting on the front universal joint.

My vote would be for gas lifting struts in the hood. I have opened it so many times to work on things and it is very nice to just lift and watch it rise. $65 shipped for dual strut kit and they bolt to factory hardware mounts. I didn't cut or bend anything to make them fit...

The SPiii fluid was also used by KIA and Hyundai. I purchase whichever version is cheaper at the time. I believe there is a drain on the bottom of the radiator for removing coolant and 2 bleeder bolts in the thermostat housing for filling. There isn't much else in the FSM about a coolant...

Aisin Auto transmissions need to have Mitsubishi Diaqueen SPiii. Other fluids have incorrect friction additives that will not work correctly in this transmission. It can be bought in cases on ebay. 12 Quarts are needed for a full flush/change...

You can open the fill plug on the side of the transfer case to check the fluid level. I believe it should be even with the bottom of the opening, but I will double check the FSM. There is a drain plug lower for changing oil. The oil I pulled out of mine had some black coloration. New OEM oil...

IIRC only the XLS models had cloth (gray) interiors. All Limited and 03+ models had either black or tan leather that was based on the exterior color. Black is more common as the tan seems to only get paired with red, green and tan exterior colors. The most common colors ordered by the dealers...

The system in the Limited models is vacuum actuated for the front free wheel clutch. The transfer case is electronic, but both would need the engine running to properly engage between the modes. Start looking under the vehicle for either a leaking vacuum line on the front axle actuator or a...

It would be easy enough to pull coils and plugs to check that no pieces have broken off. It may need a rebuild if it is the rod bearing, but that is a sign of poor maintenance, e.g. not doing regular oil changes. With regular maintenance, these engines run very well and have seen several 3.5L...

Check the Mitsubishi FUSO truck section of the forum. They will have much more experience with the large vehicles. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/forums/72-Japanese-Heavy-Truck-Mitsubishi-and-Isuzu

Are there any engine codes being displayed at all? The loud knock sounds like a loose metal panel. Could be cracked exhaust manifold or a broken mount bolt. Try to get a code reading from Autozone if you have not done so already.

I will have to check the specific models in the FSM for the transmissions, but they are both Aisin. I believe they were shared with some Toyota vehicles. The transfer case is also Aisin. 01-02 XLS or Limited will have a badge on the front fender for model. Also the transfer shifter is always...

I've used ones on my test engines at work. They always seem to develop a leak at some point. Good idea, but not that great in practice.

What is that gauge below the steering wheel?

Thanks, guys. I just give the best information that I have at the time. It also couldn't hurt to make this thread a sticky for the next person who asks about Gen 3s.

It can fit standard 33" tires without lift (285/75/16 is confirmed, 285/70/17 is the matching size you will want), but mud tire treads tend to be slightly larger than the advertised measurement. AT tires should all fit. Some like the skinny (255 or 235) tires to avoid any chance of rubbing or...

Being a suspension lift, the OME set raises every part of the vehicle above the wheel hub by ~2". Most have reported similar or improved handling when the springs and shocks are spec'd correctly for the vehicle and load. There may be more body roll when loaded or if a roof rack is used...

^^^^^What Terrence said For a frame on body vehicle, the only thing that lifts the diffs higher is increasing tire size. Body and suspension lifts are just a means to fit larger tires. IFS/IRS has the diff mounted higher than the hubs so more can be done with smaller size increases. A 2"...

I answered DeltaFry's question in a message, but I thought the info could be useful here as well. I have 3 different A/T tires (Dunlop 32", Goodyear 32", and spare Dunlop 31") on mine, because that was how I found it in the car lot. Treads were OK so I couldn't justify new tires right away...

Only use Mitsubishi Diaqueen SP-iii fluid in the transmission. Any other fluid will cause slippage and damage the torque converter. It can be found online pretty easily. KIA and Hyundai SP-III fluid is interchangeable. Also might be worth doing a whole new fluid change and flush if the...
