Hi mga L200 owners.. Post ko lang yung pickup ko.. Wala akong masabi sa pickup na ito low maintenance talaga at matipid sa gas..

kumusta po mga L200 users. bago lang po ako dito sa tsikot.com. I also own a truck just like yours..93 model nga lang and i got it from my dad na naka kuha na ng bagong truck niya ngayon. Ang masasabi ko lang po sa truck na ito ay napakareliable gamitin nito lalo na for business..matibay talaga xa kahit sa mga kargahan. tested na namin ito at 10 years na po sa amin ito and we got it 2nd hand pa. Na-test na namin ito sa kargahan at di kami pinahiya nito. Minsan palang kami itinirik nito nun lang naubos ung clutch lining niya dahil narin sa kalumahan..pero after that di pa kami tinitirik..di ka talaga iiwanan ng L200. The best ito and tama un sinabi nila na matibay talaga ang L200.

It's almost 2014. My L200 will turn 17 years old. Still my reliable truck for many more years to come.

Hello guys.. Sorry. but needed ko talagang buhayin ang thread na ito..

This is my Company Car I'm working as a Sales ( Isang sikat na tire manufacturer ).. Late Model ng box type Mitsubishi L200, i am seeing that this is a 1998 model but sa CR niya is 1997 siya.. Hindi na siya matipid sa gas para sa akin.. It only consume at 7-8Kms/L City Driving and 8-11Kms/L Highway driving... I'm using Michelin 195R14 Tires at 30PSI

What I can say is, reliable siya talaga seeing that it's odometer is at 550,300+ Kms as of posting and running pa.. ( bago lang ako sa company namin kaya ito binigay sa akin )... I acquired this at 530,000Kms last September 2014... sa ilang months pa lang na ginagamit ko ito, marami na ding sira since everyday i'm travelling and ticking my odometer at 100-150kms/day at kada out of town almost 1200Kms Odo Reading for 4 Days.......ang palagi kong problema sa L200 na ito is Overheating, Clutch, belts, Aircon, and maraming oil leaks.... electricals,....

sa ngayon ang problema ko lang is when I'm opening the dipstick..grabe ang tagas ng oil parang fountain, tapos kapag buksan ko crank case cover ganun din at may aso kulay puti na lumalabas...medyo malakas na din consumo sa oil niya I'm adding 1/2 Liter of Engine Oil almost every week...... seeing that it is already needing a general overhaul or rebuilding na talaga,... pero when I rev the engine..ang usok is black naman, hindi bluish or white... tapos kapag bubuksan ko yung radiator wala namang bumubulwak na tubig... ano kaya problema ng L200 ko??? And lastly, may oil leak na tumatagas..sa bandang likod ng makina malapit sa tranny..sabi ng mekaniko namin, leak na daw sa cylinder head block... totoo bang nagleleak ang cylinder head block ng oil?? dahil may benkong na ata cylinder head ko??

Ang pinaka problema ko sa lahat, hindi kumpleto ang service record ng Pick-up ko... yung last record na na overhaul siya is Top Overhaul lang, nireface ang cylinder head daw..that was january 2011 pa... 2015 na ngayon.....and assuming na ilang thousand kms na rin na travel niya hanggang ngayon, e september 2014 ko lang na acquire yung sasakyan sobra na 20,300Kms na travel ko in 4 months.. I'm Doing PMS din naman every 5000Kms..change oils, filters,fuel filters.. etc

mukhang tinanggal yung thermostat nyan...bili ka ng TAMA brand less than P500 lang yun. nasa less P1k kung casa ka bumili. it will probably solve your overheating issue at black smoke even when hot at acceleration.

it will also indirectly solve your leak issues sa head gasket dahil kung may thermostat e steady ang operating temperatures. hindi masyado magloloose ang head bolts dahil sa extreme difference sa operating temperatures (if without thermostat). hot and cold cycles will undo your headbolts in time. kung may thermostat, steady ang tension ng head bolts.

regarding oil leaks, either the head gasket, valve cover gasket, semi-circular rubber packing (sa likod ng cylinder head ito), rear engine oil seal or transmission front oil seal.

tapos use 2T sa diesel fuel. helps lessen vibration and smoke. ratio is 200 diesel:1 liter 2T.
