Mitsubishi Pajero Fieldmaster (Gen 2.5) [ARCHIVED]

[boyg]

PK, thanks for the advise re: mechanic from El Dorado cubao, I'll see if I can use them in the other things that are needed to be done.

Got the Pajero yesterday from Servitek, no choice talaga, only had Excel-G available so yun na pinakabit ko, will see how good/bad it goes the next few days. Also replaced ball joints, axle boots, upper suspension bushings and brake pads all around. (almost all replacement parts kasi masyado way out of budget na for orig eh.)

Spent a mini fortune, but well below what I would have spent on original shocks alone. Me konti pang gagawin sa kanya, but mostly sa engine na. Have to bring it to Central Diesel pa din to check the "pugak" when cold idling. Get's really hard to restart it after it dies out when you first start it up. I also have to get my 4wd done, it's permanently engaged sa 4wd, pag nilagay ko sa 2wd nag bi-blink na then uugong na sya, (from somewhere down below) then I have to put it back to 4wd para tumino ulit. Hay naku! dami pa din.

boyg, nagpalit kana ba ng transfer case oil? try mo muna to, kung mawala yung tunog when shifting to 2wd, mura lang naman papalit oils, kahit sa gasoline station kaya na, use gl5 gearoil sa transfer case. and sabay mo narin diff oils habang nadun kana rin, gl4 sa diffs, si PK yata merong budget calibration na alam, 6k lang daw inabot sa kanya,

[boyg]

promdiboy,
sige, i'll try that next week, out of town ako this weekend. Interesting, sana yun lang.

PK,
where's this budget calibration? PM me na lang po. ;)

Got to ride the Pajero tonight and I must say, the ride's stiffer than before it was fixed, but I think ok naman sya. I don't find it overly harsh, mejo matigas lang, but acceptable. My wife immediately noticed the difference when she took the controls. Overall very happy with the change. Thanks to all of you!!

Balik lang ako ng balik for budget tips!! hehe.

Hi Boyg, the place is in Pateros... kinda hard to describe if your'e not familiar with the place

[pajerokid]

PK, paps do you think may difference pa yung gas a just specific for pajero and yung same length na gas a just? yung servitek guy ang nagsabi na pwede naman basta pag full extend pareho sila. parang may sense naman yung sinabi niya, but i'm not sure kung may bad effects.


JJcarenthusiast, yes maririnig pag nag rev, kahit idle may maririnig ka parin, maingay talaga 4m40

Wala na naman siguro. internally pare pareho lang malamang yung GAJ shocks.... mounting lang ang siguradong difference nila.

hehehe, sa lagay maingay pa makina mo? e isang tonelada na yung deadening ng paj mo hehehe

[garryt88]

Im not sure if this the right thread to post; Im considering changing the to HID lighting. I have read that it is better to change to projector type headlight assembly rather than using the stock assembly for halogen lamps. Could anyone share info as to how this would be done?

Is there an assembly that is available for Gen2.5 or is there anyone doing retrofitting?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks!!

Good day to all FM Gurus! It's been a while since I posted some of my queries on Pajero Fieldmaster's Pros and Cons.

I finally got a 2004 Ralliart FM last friday for my family; well technically it should be today since the unit will only be delivered just today. The sad part is that I will only be able drive the said vehicle in 2 months time since I am working abroad..

Well sirs, here are my initial queries:
1. What is the average fuel consumption of the said vehicle (both city driving and long-distance)?
2. Any specific advice on daily maintenance of the vehicle?

Thanks in advance..

It'll do between 6-7.4 km/L depending on traffic and your right foot. daily maintenance, wala naman. thats what i like about the paj. make sure you religiously change the engine oil every 5k kms. i suggest you dont use synthetics. sayang lang.

[pajerokid]

PB, got your messages papi! Thanks ng marami! Sorry sobrang busy lang lately and di ko bitbit yung globe ko most of the time. I'll text you my Sun number just in case meron ka rin. yun sigurado lagi ko dala

[promdiboy]

garyt88, sadly walang ready made na projector for our pajero, but kung adventurous ka pwede naman, may nakita na akong gen 2 na naka projector with separate high beam.

AC, thats good news, buti naayos agad,

rfmafia, congrats sa pajero, how much na ba market value ng 04 model ngayon?

1. for city driving usually 6.5 to 6.8 ako pure city driving, mahataw ako magdrive eh,
2. daily maintence ko silicon oil sa rubber moulding ng doors, ingay pag nalulubak, creak creak. ako naman mahilig sa synthetic, bastat may extra budget. kung wala delo sport semi synthetic, ako kasi twice a year lang change oil kaya di gaano mabigat, pero pag malayuan ka, mineral nalang.


PK, paps just got my confirmation email form superbright leds, shiship na daw,

[rfmafia]

* Sir PB - Thanks. Inabot din ng 960k yung pajero sir though sabi ng mechanic ko sa PI, oks lang daw kasi sariwa naman yung unit.

* Sik PK - Thanks for advice as well.

Tuwang-tuwa nga si Misis sa Paj., ok daw yung ride compared sa 2003 CRV namin before. Naisip ko, yung peso-consumption pala ng FM nearly the same with the 96 civic VTI considering the price differential of gasoline and crude.

[promdiboy]

boyg, ano yung upper suspension bushing, ito ba yung bushing ng control arms, parang di pa ako satisfied sa suspension overhaul ko, may mga naririnig parin ako parang maluwag sa ilalim, lalo na pag di makinis ang daan,

PK, baka may idea ka anong bushing dapat palitan? nung pinasilip ko sa goodyear, wala naman daw cracks, but I think kahit papaano sa tagal narin, may mga play na rin.
I made lsit ng mga alam kong bushings paki add nalang kung meron pa,

front control arms (upper and lower)
rear lateral arm
rear control arm (front and back)
yung mga bushings sa body and chassis ang dami, muhang pass muna dito.

gusto ko mabalik yung feeling bnew, 100k kms gift ko na yan sa pajero ko,

[padoods]

Good evening mga sirs.

This is my first time posting in this thread. Im considering buying a second hand 2003 Fieldmaster. Mga 50K+ km ang mileage, being sold for 1.05M.

I'm thinking of negotiating to lower the price. Alam nyo ba kung ano ang average selling price ng Fieldmaster of this state? What do you think is the lowest price I can ask for? Is P900K too low?

Thanks,
Padoods

A few question for the Gurus

On Brakes:
Have a Gen 2.5 with 35k+ mileage. When steppin on the brakes, I can feel a few bumps on the foot pedal. Ano kaya ang problem dito? So far there is no audible sound such as screeching...

On installing Horns:
Planning to install a nautilis horn, but cant seem to find a space big enough at the grille area. Any suggestions as to where to install the horn and at the same time not sacrificing its tone/loudness output due to poor placement?

Thanks in advance.

Good day Pajero Gurus.

I'm considering selling or trading in my 2002 Crv for a 2001 - 2003 Fieldmaster Pajero.

I'm in real estate and i have to bring the car to unpaved roads.. And my 2002 Crv just can't hack it..

I got a few questions i need some help with.

I'm a bit confussed with the fuel consumption of the FM.. Some people say it would just go 6-7 km/l but some say their Paj's go 8-10 km/l CITY driving daw..

Next would be the transmition. Since i've had bad experiences with mitsubishi tranny (96 lancer had to be replaced)

Next would be the upkeep of the paj? Any "usual" headaches I should look at?

So i need your help guys.. Is it practical to sell my 02 Crv for a Field Master or just stick with the Crv?

Replace or reface your front rotors. Malamang warped na yan. happened to me with my old paj. mura lang naman ang replacements..
