Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi, I include my answer just in case someone else is interested. Looked around the car yards and got to measure a 2002 Triton across the rear springs, 995 mm, same as my 85 L300. 2009 was way wider, at least 50 mm. So, I assume that 10/96 to 2003, MK, are bolt up to spring compatible with most early ...

Hi Triton people, Do any of you know the rear spring centers for an MK, maybe Challenger too, and for the MJ. I believe I have read that the earlies, up to MJ had ~39" centers. I need to know if the springs are further apart on the wider rear end as I am looking at bolting one in my L300. I have a 4 ...

Hi, Are there any Triton members that would like to have tech details posted like the excellent Pajero set? I would like to ask a few questions. Is 86-96 Triton the same transfer case as Pajero and L300? Are the 97 and up cases similar in length and bolt pattern? Are any of these cases 23 spline ...

Hi,
Can anyone tell me where I can a listing that shows which transmission/transfercase is fitted to the 1987/1996 L300 2.4i 4WD van or can someone tell me.
Also, is the transmission output a 24 or 23 spline version?
Regards, Al

Hey, Thanks for that, I'll get into it now.
Cheers, Al

Hi,
Sirius 4g64/3 timing gear.
Could anyone tell me if the crankshaft gear bolt is right or left thread.
I gave it some as for right but thought I better ask before going at it big time.
Thanks, Al

I have 4.875 now. I want to fit a 9" rear and the common ratios here are 4.9 and 4.636. I will buy a L200/Triton rear end. 4.625 in a 7.25" is fairly common in early Pajero/Raider so that should not be too hard to get. It would be so close to the 4.636 that I could live with the wind up, equivalent ...

Hi,
Can anyone confirm that an L300 85 SD front diff is the same as an early Pajero? It appears the same just looking at it and I assume it is 7.25"
Are ring and pinion sets genuine mitsubishi only or are there aftermarket suppliers?
Regards, Al

Hi Dave, I will check again but the factory book definitly puts the diesel with the taller diff. The only other reference I have seen on vehicle specs list was a 3Ltr petrol with a 4.9 final drive. Challenger listed 4.636 for both petrol and diesel, man and auto. Thanks for your comment, I will ...

Hi, Hav'nt had any input re my Triton/L200 rear end enquiry. I have done a bit of research at the local mitsi dealer and have the following info. It may be suitable for tech section. Diff by engine type. 4G64-4D5Turbo..............4.875 4D5 non turbo................4.875 6G7 ...

Hi, I measured my son's 2002 V6 Triton rear end and found it will bolt in place of my 85 L300 rear end. It would increase the track for more inner guard clearance. Can anyone tell me what other years carry the 2002 type rear end and what ratios are out there. Mine is 4.875:1 and has 28 spline axles ...

Hi,
Anyone able to tell me what sort of signal is put out by the pulse(?) generator on a 96 wrangler transfer case.
If pulsed, how many per rev and whether AC or DC.
Thanks and regards, Al.

Hi, I finally found a TJ tranfer case to try my custom splined output shaft. It fits great but I thought the asking price was high at $1400 for unknown condition. I was told it was from a 97 -02 Wrangler. Has anyone got a blown or good jeep case for sale or know of one I could check out? A blown one ...

Hi CJer,
I did not mean to devalue any info the jeep section has. I always find it useful.
I have both a 44 willys and a replica of the same based on a mitsubishi chassis so I genuinely asked my question in both forums and was grateful for all the info.
Thanks again for your help.
Al

Thanks guys, check out Bitsamissin's reply in the mitsubishi forum.
Amazing product knowledge.
Regards, Al

Bitsamissin, Thanks, you sure seem to have the low down on lots of info. Since these 23 spliners are the same then that would mean the atlas would also be adaptable. Only problem may be clearance of the left torsion bar(this goes for the NP231 also) but moving the motor trans to the right may solve ...

Hi, Sometime back, I asked if anyone knew whether the 23 spline mitsubishi input had the same spec as the jeep 23 spline input. At the time no one knew and I wondered if someone does now. I have posted in the jeep section asking if anyone in my area has a unit on the floor so, maybe I can check ...

Hi, Has anyone in the ACT area got a 23 spline gearbox or transfer case on the floor.
I am looking for one to check a spline fit.
Alternatively does anyone know if the 23 spline auto trans output from jeep is the same one on a mitsubishi 23 spline auto?

Thanks and regards, Al

Thanks again.
I have since been told that the VM diesel used in range rover/discovery was a lemon and am concerned that they are that way in jeeps.
Anyone had any problems that would point to expensive repairs down the track?
Regards, Al.

Thanks for that comment I will try to get a drive.
Al

Hi,
I am considering buying a 97 ish Cherokee and wondered if any forum members have experience with the 2.5 diesel version.
The torque figure of 300 Nm seems to be ok but how does it work in practice?
Are there any known common problems with them?
Thanks and regards, Al.

Hi,
Good to see modded earlies. It looks great.
I'm trying to attach a photo of mine.
Its a hybrid but looks the part. Been registered for 13 years.
Al.

I found a WA company that claim to be expert with these engines.

Marks Adapters list a behousing for that swap.

Good luck. Al

Hi, I've been reading all the talk about idler arms without thinking too much about it. It has just ocurred that the early L300 has a relay shaft where the steering box would be on a Pajero. It has a thick looking shaft and the bolt pattern appeares to be similar to the early box. ( hav'nt checked ...

Hi,
I am not sure about Rod/Jack but some other makes have a different number of spline teeth on each end of the bar.
This will allow adjustments of less than one tooth overall.
Al.

Aaron,
I would be real suspitious of the fuel quality if the smoke comes and goes with refueling. Do you use the same outlet or some no name outlet?

Sydney should be full of reputable diesel guys and I'm sure it would not be expensive to ask one or two of them to comment.
Regards, Al.

Hi, Thanks for that. I had read the preceding 2.8 comments but hoped there was someone that could extend the subject even further. I have since read that the bulk of extra performance 2.8 to 3.0 is due to the higher pressure pump and five port injectors. These combine to produce finer atomisation ...

I have a 90 jack 2.8 T/D and it is amazingly economical but fairly slow. I have often wondered how to pick up a bit more power but am sobered to find the same specs right through to 2000 rodeo. Why has the factory not refined the engine if it was easy to do? Noticed that the rodeo 3.0 has~ 20% more ...

Hi,
Have you spoken to Mark Hardman at Hardmen Bros in Dingley Vic?
I believe he can make most any part you need to beef up shafts and gears.
Al

Hi Frank, My main interest in the 23 spline issue is pursuing a stronger mitz transfer than my 85 SD L300 24 spline, although compatability with NP231J is of interest. My real concern is the gearbox output shaft diameter that the 24 tooth spline dictates, real puny. I want the strongest output shaft ...
