This Mitsubishi Triton came to us with a range of undiagnosed issues. So we took the opportunity to show you some things you may not be aware of when it comes to maintaining yours.
Good video , i had also a a 4d56 came in from another shop without the balance shaft belt fitted. Customer did not even know. Had some performance problems.
Mine had a small head gasket leak at the front of the engine. There is a tiny water gallery only about 10mm from the front of the block. Started at about 150K. Had new radiator, water pump, isolate EGR cooler etc but no-one could work out where the leak was. Eventually I felt a sudden increase in vibration (which I now know was the balance shaft breaking due to water damage. It had done 60K and I was planning to get the belts done shortly.) Mechanic couldn't find problem. 4 months later had a catastrophic breakdown when the balance belt pieces caught in the timing belt and caused it to slip.
Lucky the b/shaft belt did not take out the cam / fuel pump belt! Have seen a couple sheer the tensioner pivot bolt on the main belt due to that same failure. Usually because owners have not had the T belts replaced @ 90,000km as per the schedule LOL
Hello from UK. My 2011 L200 2.5 DiD has done over 120000 miles. Do you think it needs a tappet adjustment as when the engine is cold, usually in the morning it sounds like somebody is shaking a bag of gravel in the engine bay.
I have the same engine in mine. It is low on power and has misfire code cyl 2, most notable at idle. I have already cleaned the inlet manifold with small improvement. Replaced the SCV with no improvement. I am now anticipating to find a broken rocker or replace injectors.
my triton a 2012 automatic 2,4 model , hits the breaks while driving and then it stucks the second gear in the gear box making it impossible to speed it up. The only remedy is to pull over and awitch off the engine and start it back. Any ideas what is causing it ? the fault is P1782 and P1783

Great video, with good info. Thanks for sharing.

You should open a partner shop in the states :)
