^^^ manual says GL5 for gearbox and diffs and GL4 for TC

i am using the GL5 severe gear in my diffs and GL4 in my TC, gonna re-use those when I have to change in a few 1000km

found and sorted my electrical issues - no right side park lights and dashboard back lights

blown fuse 7.5A for right side park lights

changed fuse - blow immediately when park lights turned on, which indicated an electrical problem on teh circuit

i removed the load from teh circuit to troubleshoot - teh park light bulbs and discovered teh problem - a bad LED in the front park light



looks like it suffered bad heat damage, which caused it to melt and bubble out some brown-ish gunk material

When do you have to change the diff ad transaxle oil? I haven't done so yet ad approaching 80000kms

Anyone has any of the two doors models?
Reviews?

[AllTrac]

guys where can i get front brake pads?

[acmilan11]

got mine at ROC in the bamboo..$795.00 for the pair front

[venum]

AC are those OEM ?

DM has for ~$1500 (believe)

I need some OEM as I used Bosch in my last change but they not holding like OEM

On another note, I have diffs and TC oil to change

Who has a good link for Amsoil GL4 and GL5

[acmilan11]

^^ yea I believed they were OEM..

[venum]

When do you have to change the diff ad transaxle oil? I haven't done so yet ad approaching 80000kms

I know traditionally it is every 50,000km

but referencing the service manual is very confusing, i will scan and upload and you can try to make sense of it yourself.

[Val]

Yes please. And the brake pads sourced at ROC seem to be OEM last I bought.

[VexXx Dogg]

Anyone ever installed leaf spring plastic spacers to reduce noise?

Also my van is detecting 5 less psi of boost thanit should. Could a hose or sensor be clogged?

Diamond had put kevlon bushings or something to stop the squeaking when we had now gotten the van. Worked well, hardly hear any squeaking now

Got my hands on the Mitsubishi ASA with data up to 2008. Looking up my own gawwdamn part numbers now.

Did a test with my VIN and everything working copacetic. Fields filled out automagically and everything I need dey!

Some parts may not be available on the USDM sites, but I can at least try to search online now, instead of facing the local buttrape.

Can look up part nums for Lancer, Galant, Outlander, L200, L300, Pajero et al. (115 general export vehicles)
