    Valve guide seals

    I don't want to upset anyone, but this topic is widely covered on the Mitsubishi Tech Board at 4x4wire.com and is definitely worth your time to visit. Russell

    What shall I do? ( in a pondering inner voice...)

    Hello all, I am most active on the various Mitsubishi boards but have a tertiary vehicle that I can't seem to make happen. My third vehicle is a 1988 Chevy K30 dually service truck with a 6.2L diesel conversion. I purchased this truck, we call her Sinamon, as a secondary work truck about 3...

    Water Storage

    Back in the day when I could drive my Raider, I used a 25-gallon water tank from a van conversion and a small electric SurFlow pump. I used the potable for drinking (of course) and to wash my hands in between visits to earthwork projects.

    Kodak Playsport Video Camera

    I use my little Kodak extensively for work, both stills and video. Dark pictures are grainy, but daytime pics are fine for most of my documentation. Not good at far or distance shots because of short focal length. Would still recommend for general use, not wedding photos.

    Ramcharger Project

    Once upon a truck, I had several Dodge 3/4-tons. On the '75 pictured, I used 4" Rancho front and 5" Superlift rear springs to clear 36" Goodyear Wrangler RT-II tires. I deleted the rear blocks entirely. Following, I could not keep a rear-axle drive yoke alive very long. I later sold this truck...

    M1009 (diesel Blazer) or FJ60?

    Krylon sells rattle can for either metal or plastic applications, and in the common camo colors too! I have a diesel converted 88 K30 that will become something or sold. California B.A.R. approved the 454 gas to 6.2L conversion. Might be fun to drive once I get it running again. Russell

    33s vs 31s

    Still, larger rolling diameter = less engine speed. Tire diameter times pi = x 63360 / x = number of tire revolutions per mile = y (constant 63360 is number of inches per mile) y times axle gear ratio = z (at 60 mph) My 1-ton Dodge with full-time 4wd and 4.88s would rev out the 360V8 at 55...

    mitsubishi is all i want....

    The previous Montero Ranch was very crowded on about 7500 ft² which included the house, 25 pygmy goats and pens, 8 Mitsu products, 4 trailers, 2 GM fullsize trucks and a Class C rv. We have moved up about 46 times to now almost 8 acres of pasture land. I'm claiming a small fenced portion between...

    33s vs 31s

    Buy the tires that fit the driving you'll expect to do. Trim or restore the front bumper.

    Source of used 16" wheels?

    The later Montero Sport wheels have the larger hubs, correct backspacing and 2 or 3 patterns available. Nissan and Isuzu OE wheels have smaller hubs, and late model Chevy wheels are hub centric.
