pajero powerplant

[MAX 5]

greetings mga peeps,im on the market for a 4x4 rig right now and i've set my sights on the mitsu pajero.i particularly liked the gen. 2's tonka look but not its ageing 4d56.now the question is,
should i go for a gen. 2 and have an engine upgrade[4m40] or bite the bullet and go for a gen.2.5 fieldmaster?which is the cheaper way to go?,and are all fieldmaster variants uses the same 4m40 powerplant?
thank you and more power to tsikot, you're doing a really wonderful job!

[kimpOy]

bite the bullet man!
go for the Gen 2.5

how much is your budget?

pm mo si woodfire, nag engine swap na yan 4d56tdic to 4m40tdic

[MAX 5]

mga 850-900 thou lang sir

[kimpOy]

pasok na pasok ang budget mo for a Pajero Gen 2.5 Fender Blister 4x4 Fieldmaster (ang haba ng model name he..he)

yung dad ng bayaw ko nakabili 950K last 4 four months ago.
and also medyo sariwa pa yan dahil bago pa unlike mga tonka 6years old na ang pinakamodelo.

good luck happy hunting...and happy trails

o pwede rin hintayin mo yung lalabas na bagong pajero. sa 2004 pa nga lang ata

[boybi]

next month na lalabas yung gen3 pajero

Max 5, personal preference na po yan. Personally, i'd suggest you bite the bullet and get the blister fendered Paje. But that doesnt mean to say that the orig tonka is without its advantages....mainly long term engine maintenance.

[MAX 5]

this would actually be quite a change for me as far as ride is concerned, for the last 9 yrs. lahat ng naging ride namin ay puro family oriented type [sa madaling salita puro vans].with this type of vehicle,maintenance wise,would you say malaki ba ang difference costwise? and in buying one,any tips or any telltale signs to lookout for in the unit so i dont end up with a lemon?
thanks ulit

[roydok]

Sir, why not bite the cannon shell (bigger bullet) and wait for the Gen 3 Pajero that was said to be introduced soon. ;)

[Maki]

mas gusto ko itsura ng tonka, pero mas malaki yung engine ng blister, and mas bago modelo to (i'm assuming mas konting sakit sa ulo yung blister).
kung gusto mo tlga yung tonka look, try yo scout for monteros na may v6 3000cc engine.l..heheh

[OTEP]

Hay, sarap ng V6 na iyan. Hehehe. Ganyan ang sa Father ko. While I'm stuck with the 4d56. All I see are his taillights as he zooms away.

[Maki]

oo nga bilis yun..pero laklak naman gasolina, grabe i've read somewhere dati sa net na yung 6g72 sohc engine ng paj na yun ay kapareho lang ng l/km or gal/mil. ng mga v8 na expedition..hehehe

OT lang, sir otep, nakita ko kayo dun kina kit sa san juan, last last sat ata... nahiya ako lumapit eh..heheeh kasama mo yung may ari ng the beast..and the beast.. =) btw, can u direct me to any page containing info on the paj. na may gdi engine and invecs tranny? gus2 ko kasi maghanap ng literature about it eh..thanks...

[OTEP]

Talaga? Nasa Armark 4wd kami nun. Nasan ka? Sa shop mo ba kami nakita? May dumating na 3 door Pajero nun, eh.

Yup, malakas sa gas ang Montero considering na V6 lang siya.

[Maki]

ako yung mataba na pumasok na nakagreen...=) nagtanong ako about torsion lift dun kay mang boy ata.. tapos bago dumating c kit...yung nagbubukas ng gate na bakal..hehehhe nde yung 3dr dala ko nun eh.. lundo kasi yung harap nung 5dr namin...=(

[MAX 5]

sorry mga peeps ngayon lang ako nakabalik,dalawang unit yong pinagpipilian namin ngayon,one is a 99 model 2.8l bank repo.unit 945 thou[mahal],another is a 98 model 2.5l *730 thou [owned by a politician from my hometown] w/c i think is agood deal.hope to get it by the end of this month.tanong ulit,puede bang palitan ang 3rd row jumpseat ng frontfacing seats? saan at magkano kaya....thanks

[OTEP]

The 3rd row seats are pretty easy to put in but the parts might be expensive. OEM seatbelts alone can cost Php5K each. The seat itself might be even more expensive.

Also check the middle of the cargo bay floor if there is a depression for the latches of the forward-facing seats.
