stuffed speedo cable.
either replace or try and lube it

whatever you get make sure if it is a clamp type that you can get it on and off when the trailer is attached to the vehicle. ie that there is enough clearance under it not only on a smooth surface but if the ground isn't level and the vehicle and/or trailer is up or down a bit.
i recently replaced ...

its aford not a nissan wrote:it must be a faulty battery then ( the 120 a/h ) cause even after 1/2 a day running the fridge it still reads over 13 volts

or some inaccuracy in the measuring device

the battery saver measures the voltage inside the fridge. that means after the voltage drop across the wiring between the fridge and the battery.
if you battery was really at 10.4V it won't start anything, it's dead.

so if you used starter motor cable to wire up your fridge ( big thick wire ) then ...

i've got a my 06 gls 2.8tdi dual cab ( last of the MK model ). i also don't like the new ML body shape.
only problems i've had with mine so far ( had it for 12 months ).
1/ leaking rocker cover gasket, replaced under warranty
2/ sqeeking speedo cable, replaced under warranty
3/ broken drink holder ...

here's a copy of the engine manual

not the beginning of the speedo cable squeaking is it?
it took me a couple of months of gradually getting a louder squeak before it was obvious it was the speedo cable. the speedo had an intermittant shake in it.
while driving and you can hear the squeak, throw the clutch and see if the squeak is ...

if it is driven off the dimmer cct then it won't be 12v.
try the test again but adjust the dimmer brightness and see which wire tracks the change in brightness

i've got an 06 mk triton dual cab diesel and have noticed the same thing.
i also thought it was the clutch but it only does it in 1st or reverse from a standing start. if it's rolling it doesn't happen.
i haven't investigated further apart form what i've read about the ml doing it as well.

glad to hear it worked ok for you.
just send cold beer i'll pm the address

try inverting the fridge for a few minutes then try it again.
if the elements still get hot from 12/240/gas then it can only be a few other options.
it's lost it's coolant gas, it's got an 'air lock' in the cooling gas system and/or it's been overheated and the coolant now has little crystals in it ...

what brand ( and/or where did you source ) the boost gauge?
i've got an early 2006 triton diesel ( mk model ) but i'm guessing the turbo/boost gauge would be similar

has anyone replaced the wankometer ( inclometer ) on their mitusbishi with anything more practical? ie oil pressure gauge or 2nd battery voltmeter?

thanks
just checked similar on mine. ~420mm on the front and ~520mm on the rear. that's eith a ARB bar and winch on the front and empty on the back.
and about 5mm clearance on the bottom bump stop.
might be time to adjust the front end. if i can squeeze underneath it to adjust the torsion bars.

got a saggy front end on my new triton dual cab.
it's an early 2006 mk turbo diesel.
has anyone got a std ( ish ) similar model that they could measure from the centre of the front axle to the wheel arch for me?
and the same for the back end.
that way when i crank the torsion bars i can see if i'm ...

just picked up an early 2006 mk triton 2.8 turbo diesel dual cab. unfortunately there isn't an owners manual with it, so apart from the entertainment value of looking at the pretty lights on the dashboard, i'm not sure what they are for :oops:

can anyone point me to a description of the lights and ...

have been toying with the idea of re using a couple of 31*10.5*15's from my 4runner but apart from replacing the hubs I'd need 2" flares on the guards to make it legal. so not sure which way to go. it makes sense to have the trailer wheels the same as the vehicle but it's a lot of rubber for a 6*4 ...

thanks
just removed the tread on one of the existing tyres and was looking at replacement. existing rims are pretty old and require tubes so was looking at some tubeless rims.

have had an offer of a couple of 5 stud rims from a zook. My intention is to replace the wheels on my trailer which are currently 13" holden 5 stud. Does anyone know if the stud pattern is the same as a holden?
failing that could someone please measure the distance between two adjacent studs? ie ...

I know the earlier one's only had a 65 litre tank but I thought they all changed to the 72 litre tank around '92 ish. Your manual will confirm/deny tank size, mine is the 72 litre bucket.

I did a full service on my 94 RV6 4Runner just before heading down the coast for a week. Running on PULP I managed 440km's out of the tank (the light wsn't even on) and if you adjust because of the tyre factor that's closer to 500. Sitting on 100-110.

How may litres did you use?

don't forget the gas pressure regulater as well

You will need the numbers of the compliance plate as the ratios depend upon the particular build. ie auto/manual/factory tyre size etc.
