I took two stock steering shafts because I wanted a u-joint at each end, plus I needed it longer for my lift. I used a piece of heavy walled tube to sleeve the two ends together and then welded it in place.

Thanks for the reply. I could never get solid performance or spec info from SAITO so I passed, can’t imagine that the performance difference is that big.

12.4 volts at idle and 14 volts under load or there about.

Alternator may be on its way out. Check your voltage with a multi meter at idle and under load.

If you’re going to replace the clutch I would just replace everything. Including the rear main seal since you will have the transmission pulled. Trans bushings as well, it all needs to be replaced anyway.

Crankshaft rear main seal.

Could be the main seal.

Rubber transmission hose can be purchased at any auto parts store. I replaced the entire trans cooler with a unit that has a fan. Is your trans temp high?

1993 Super Exceed, 222,000km on body Diesel Auto SLC Utah $20,000 or a solid offer Looking into a new toy so I thought I would put the old girl up here and see if there is any interest. First off this has been my offroad toy and adventure van so the interior reflects that. Only have front...

Do you have an original Mitsubishi head? Nomadic has empty head casting for sale, I would consider swapping the original Mitsubishi head components to a new casting. Probably still better components than you can buy.

These heads are super simple, I don’t even know where you could come up with the quality components. Buy a complete head and tear it down. Take the empty head to a machine shop and have them check it for square and flat. Replace all the aluminum threads with steel ones and then lap the valves...

Don’t get me started on rising sun. It’s a shop reputable one is questionable.

I recommend CCauto over just about anyone else. Always good to work with and quality parts. I would avoid anything on Craig’s list, didn’t even know that was still a thing, probably a scam.

I’m in the same boat, I have just accepted the fact I’ll keep it forever. Very nice looking rig, you could do worse.
