no rock steps sorry

Is it my imagination, or has that got SAS?

That doesn't have any "interlocking" of the lockers i.e. each can be operted independently of the other. If this is what you're after then it looks good to me.

It seems as though the LED bar is generating a noise and the case needs to be earthed to form a shield and this may be a manufacturing fault.

Does this make sense Scott?

Entirely plausible to me, but I can't guarantee this is the cause / will fix your problem.

If I were a betting man I would ...

Hi.

I have just installed my new 20x5W LED light bar (100W) and it's wired up through a relay, using 4mm wire, as the old driving lights were. It's a fair run from behind the drivers seat, through front fender (where the factory stereo antenna is located), and out to the bullbar.
Now when I turn ...

Not seeing too many rock steps, either.

Well, yeah, undoubtedly an excellent choice. But do you reckon they'd fit?

I would say you're at the bottom end of the offensiveness scale, so doing it occasionally isn't something I would worry about. But I don't think you should let it become a regular thing.

How long is a piece of string?

Most deep cycle batteries don't like large currents (neither discharge nor charge), but some deep cycles can handle larger currents better than others, and "large" is relative anyway.

Small battery and large motor? Not a good idea. Large battery and small motor ...

FWIW, I remember seeing them in the garage in Innamincka in 2006. I was surprised at the time, because I didn't think 17s were that common.

Hopefully Ryano will see this and comment. I think he's got the right contacts to know.

From the reading I can find, a standard uni shaft the diff sits nearly parallel with the output shaft on the transfer but with a d/c rear shaft you can angle the pinion up at the transfer flange.

Can someone tell me why a d/c joint allows you to do this.

I can't, but he probably could: http://en ...

Leaving aside a multitude of off-topic responses that would be inappropriate in General Tech - no!

Your stated intent is to get it running so you can sell it. Why waste money on a new crank and rods?

Focus, Dave. Focus!

Well, yesterday I received my new Bullbar. Bought off ebay, genuine Mitsubishi steel bar (non-winch) brand new for $620. Only doubt (other than normal ebay - is it a scam etc) was that it was to suit a NS model. Well, it fitted really well. Usual problems in finding out which bits to undo and which ...

I know for gear/cable driven speedos you just change the drive gear on the gearbox but I don't think that works for the electronic ones.

It does work for some electronic ones - like my Pajero. I was told it doesn't work for cable driven Pajero speedos, but haven't checked it out myself.

There ...

While these are undoubtedly required for some (if not most?) vehicles with electronic speedos, there can be alternatives.

For some models of Pajero, the speedo is driven by a replaceable gear in the transfer case. The gear comes out in under 5 minutes, and replacements are available for around $30 ...

The simplest way to achieve this would be a relay that is switched by your ignition. That's easy when you say it fast, but the trick is finding a suitable source to power the relay, and a suitable circuit for the relay to switch.

You could search near the headlight switch (in the cabin), and ...

Hi MVK - welcome to the forum.

As already indicated, Pajero drivetrains are pretty strong - the tyre sizes you're discussing won't be a problem.

With independent suspension all round you won't be able to lift your vehicle far enough for stability to become a significant issue - that's more of an ...

Dave, does this wear happen before or after the bottom mount fails?

Any chance you could post a link for the rest of us?

Thanks mate. There is a small fuse panel behind the passenger side kick panel it all seems ok and there is wiring in the drivers side kick panel as well, again it all sems good. From what I understand it is a semi common problem.

The fuse panel behind the kick panel is probably supplied by one or ...

i read on lcool, that when in remote areas, they loove the coopers because they see them fail all the time.
and thats where they make their money, being remote and you need a good tyre, as well as a spare :lol:
all my friends bought a set at the same time of coopers all terrains, and never again ...

I'm on my third set of Coopers - 31" S/Ts (sold with 60%+ tread after 30k km), 285/75R16 STTs (sold after 6 years but unknown km with roughly 50% tread) and 285/75R16 ST Maxx (had them for about 18 months, probably done 10k km, killed one with a stake through the shoulder).

Before I bought the ST ...

in my mind, if the one on the reg says 15l/min, and the one on the roch says 7l/min, then your leaking 8l/min along the line somwhere?

Yep. Either that, or the gas is contracting significantly along the line, but I severely doubt that's the case.

Or, if the Rotameter on the torch isn't ...

My bobbin at the regulator will be showing around 15 litres per minute while at the torch it's actually 7.5 litres per minute.

Are you using the same flow meter to measure in the two different spots, or two different flow meters? That style of flow meter is calibrated for the density of a ...

PM sent.

The 4M40 td generates significantly more torque than the 3.0V6 in the Gen 1, so it uses physically larger gearbox, transfer and rear diff (and probably front diff, too). In the Gen 2 Pajero, Mitsubishi moved the body mounting tabs higher on the chassis to create clearance for the larger components ...

Thanks.

Yes, I'm sure.

Using lead acid cells in series only works if they are all the same. When discharging, they all discharge the same amount by the same current. When recharging, the all recharge the same amount ONLY if they all receive the same current.

With the arrangement above, the 24V discharge ...

Sorry, but that's a bad idea.

All your charge current will flow through battery 2, then be split between batteries 1 & 3. You will end up struggling to keep batteries 1 & 3 properly charged, and overcharge ("cook") battery 2 in the process.

You should use something like Redarc's BCDC DC powered ...

Great info! Thanks for posting.

I don't suppose you remember the part number for the FET, or how you found the right part to order?

Yes, 4M41.

We don't have too many of them here, and I'm far from an expert on them, but here goes:

It's an evolution of the 4M40 2.8 td that was in Pajeros from late '93, and was introduced here about the end of the NM model along with a 5 speed auto. Other than the obvious larger capacity (not ...
