Re: NW Pajero Centre Diff Lock

not sure if you can mate, I think the centre diff is mechanical in that once you shift to lo it locks the centre diff.

What I did in my previous NL was to ground one of the solenoids (yellow I thnk) via a dash switch. This gave me low without the front wheel drive but still had centre diff locked.

Re: 4M41 2003ish model reliability?

Dont expect a 2002 3.2 to be equal to the new 3.2. The 3.2 was substantially upgraded in power & torque for the NT range .

From memory the power went up to 147kw & torque went up to 441nm. It was about a 20% improvement.

Guys, in case anyone is after 3.15 reduction gers for their Gen2. Hardmanns have re specced the design meaning a lowering of the reduction ratio from 3.15 to 2.70 due to the small modding required for the 3.15 to fit. They will however do a special re run of 3.15 if they can get a minumum order of ...

Re: factory locker, non factory wiring

as previously stated, you need to pick up an active from a different circuit that the pump is on, because the switch circuit being completed is the only sure way of knowing if the locker is engaged or not. Just because the compressor is on doesnt mean the diff is locked. I picked up an active from ...

Re: mitsubishi diff ratios

I don't know how true it is, but I've read that an engine operates most efficiently at its torque peak. So, if you take a torquey motor (i.e. turbo diesel) with a comparatively low peak torque (i.e. 2000 rpm) and drive along the highway at 100km/h you'll use a certain amount of fuel. . Using that ...
