They have been known to blow at times.
But you have to be really harsh on them to do so.That is in up position that is.

HI Guys, My SWB does not have height adjustable suspension. Ther are quite a few of the jap used ones available here that do have this feature. I know the front works but cranking the torsion bars with the use of a hydraulic ram type arrangement. Does anyone know how this set-up works? Is it an ...

If your going 32x10.5 on your standard 15x7 rims you should have no problems. I have 32x11.5 on a set of 15x8 navara off set rims, and I get very,very minor rubbing on the inside of the guard when at full lock and full compression. Glenn I don't want to seem stupid, but the tyre sizes of 32" and 33 ...

The location of the ecu is inside of the plastic panel cover of the passenger side of the rear part of the interior. If you take the ash tray out (left rear passenger) and remove the screw that holds the ash tray surround in place you can see the little box with wires coming out of the bottom of it ...

I have a 91 import with the compass/temp no go thought I would start at least with a look at the fuse any clues where it is located.

And any other possible handy info would not go amiss on the compass/temp no go situation.

Cheers and thanks John.

nice looking rig

Sorry no can do.

Thanks any way.

No I haven't. There was never a PTO drive released by Mitsu for a 3.0 V6 let alone a 3.5 V6 or 2.8TDI (only for Gen 1 4 cylinders). It would have to be a custom job, maybe using a 4 cylinder assembly and adapting it to the larger t/case. This will cost - custom gears, adapter plate etc. You may as ...

Sorry for those across the ditch but this truck is on NZ turf. 1993 Import SWB 3.0 V6 5 speed manual.done 148000 ks Has got the factory rear diff lock. ABS brakes. Suspension height adjust system. Climate air cond front and rear. Sunroof. Has all the fruit.All in good working order.Right done to all ...

The collant came out nice and strong flow with little contaminates.

Crikey the block holds some water.

Cheers DougH

I may be corrected though

Would that be the drivers side Hekta?

Cheers John.

A easy question I hope gents.

Does the 3.0 V6 have a engine block drain for the coolant to be drained?

Cheers John.

Yes burner wins the post that's closest to the problem Ive found with the engine.

Are well at least they not a hard beast to work on and you get the opportunity to replace valve stem seals etc..

Cheers all and thanks for the response. John.

Its official the pajero is dead well at least it has a load of water in oil.

Bugger

Cheers John.

Thanks ,for the info but I have a bad feeling about this one.

John.

Thanks Zute some good area's to look at there thanks I have done a quick look at the two little hoses around the throttle body area and I haven't looked at the pump at all. Will to a proper inspection when I have the rad tank pressurised. And 4runna , yeah I've checked the heater, no leaks And I got ...

Thanks Bitsamissin for reply ,as with other sources as well as your own the motors seem very trouble free in general.

Will to the the pressure test tommoro and see how I get on.

Cheers and thanks John

I have been loosing radiator coolant for the last couple of weeks. Oh the vehicle is a NJ 3.0 V6. I've had the radiator reco'd about 6 months ago (replaced cap) and rechecked the hoses for leaks. To be fair I can't say I have found any thing looking like a problem on the outside of the engine.So no ...

The reason i ask is the torsion bar lifters are leaking, so it looks like i have to put new seals in. (wonder how much mitsu will want !!!)


No parts is available but you can get them second hand. The whole cylinder that is.

John.

Thanks John, Which dashboard lights comes on? The light I refer to is one that tells you that suspension height is at the high position. It flashes on and off. A little more info, the wire that gets cut is a from speedo which gives a signal( at around 40 Kph) to the suspension ECU to drop to the ...

Hello, I'm new to this forum. I Have 1994 Gen II SWB with up/down suspension. I would like to know ho wto bypass the system going down over certain kph. (Mine going doen over 50kph) Ben In behind the left side (rear passenger) plastic covering is positioned the ECU for suspension lift system. The ...

I restored the operation of suspension lift mechanism on my Paj just before Xmas last year. The oil you need is 10 weight hydraulic oil.It doesn't matter what brand just the weight. If you want more info on this subject just ask. like for instance want wire to cut to stop the system from going down ...

I find I get 550 Ks to the tank.In old miles per gallon I find it to be around 22 mpg.

I don't drive for economy but I don't thrash it either. The paj I drive is a 93 3.0 ltr V6 SWB 5 speed manual box , 72 ltr gas tank capacity.

For what its worth!!! Cheers John

To Quote South: Ive recently filled the 'box and t'case with Castrol EPX 80W90 and Bi-Tron 2-4-6 Metal Treatment. Well the cold shifts have definately improved, 1-2 used to be real stiff in the morning, and 3rd used to be slightly notchy. Now 3rd is pretty smooth and 1-2 is slightly notchy, but easy ...

Bump. I was chatting to a friend recently, and his experience seemed worth adding. He has a NH shorty with the Tri-Pack (ABS, rear diff lock and adjustable shocks.) He was having all sorts of problems with bad shift on 1st - 2nd, and eventually had the box rebuilt. He discovered that this was a ...

No I reckon it will be a separate controller. There's an ECU for bloody everything, engine, auto, difflock, ABS, adjustable shocks, 4x4 system etc etc I'd hate to drown the bleedin thing, I've had a good go at it but I have'nt killed it yet. Still Looks like the same box in the exact same possy I ...

Yep here's the link on the method it's in Japanese so you will have to use a translator - m Thanks for link, the translated English is bad but with help of the pictures its work out able. Question, the box and the position of the box looks like the one I have made mods to , to stop the adjustable ...

And yes the rear difflock will only engage if the centre difflock is on although you can bridge the wiring so it will work any time.


I'm keen to hear more on this wire bridge , you wouldn't mind telling more on this trick.

With Thanks John

I have a 93 swb 3.0 V6 manual trans and would like to know if the rear prop shaft is the same as a 94 swb 2.5 diesel auto trans.

I have damaged my prop shaft and can get a hold of a diesel one, need to know if it would suit.

Cheers John.

Most likely slave cylinder related. I would check that it was bled properly (no air in the system) and then check the pedal free play. This can be adjusted quite easily. Grab yourself a Gregory's manual which describes these procedures quite well. Thanks Bitsmissin you are of course right ,I found ...
