I picked up my buddy's 20' trailer the other night, towed real well. I kept the speed at about 90kmph and my engine and EGTs were about the same as driving 105kmph. This of course on flat roads with minimal wind. Loaded the trailer the other day with 20 sheets of roofing material and am hauling it...

Thanks! I was pretty happy with how it all worked out. The truck came with a tow hitch and tranny cooler so should be able to tow stuff. I don't know if the rear springs are heavier than stock but I've had 1500+ pounds in the back and they weren't bottomed out. Pretty hard to over load a box that...

I bled a bit of air out yesterday from the filter and truck started and ran like a champ. Hoping this is the last bleeding necessary.

Rebuild kits are quite rare apparently. Luckily, the 3/4 bore slave cylinder is very common. Bought a cheap Mazda slave cylinder and slipped the piston into the stock Strada one and we are good to go.

First post

I was just trying to backflush my heater core and got nowhere with it. passing water in the normal flow direction was no problem, but all I could do backwards was pressurize the line. Is there a valve somewhere behind the firewall? its pretty cramped in there and don't really want to rip it apart...

Last post

Yes there is a valve that control temperature of the HVAC.Cold=cut the flow of coolant thru the core..Hot=coolant is flowing thru the heater core.
That valve is behind the top of the dash,over the gas pedal.

'92? Look for Montero replacements - they could be the same.

I don't know how different the drive train of the Strada/L200 was from the Pajero/Montero and Delica, or which parts differ.

You can aslo try to give advance on the fuel pump timing.That will compensate the wear of
the cam plate but will not do anything for the pressure.

for 5 degrees,like on 4d55,or even lower,until you...

Ok,I've passed winter with the lift pump to compensate for wear of the rotor head of the injection pump and i could say that
a lift pump make no difference.The best way to resolve many of the smoking,chugging,bumping,etc... is to rebuild the IP with new seals and rotor head.

I'm assuming that since the Mighty Max and L300 have the same drivetrain they are also both 3/4 ton vehicles!?
I'm wondering what the repercussions I can expect from loading it regularly with up to 2000lbs worth of garbage might be?

The glow plug controller is on the passenger side(left side of the cab) just beside the glovebox,bolted
on the pillar where the door hinges are fixed,just over a plastic trim.
It's a small square metal box with a connector on it,6 or 8 wire,don't remember.
