Thread: ADVICE NEEDED.....Mitsubishi Triton 2.8 Diesel 2004

I have had one since 2008 Triton 2.8 td 4x4 purchased it unloved at turners for $15,000 with a hard top.

Only recurring issues I have had was glow plugs needed a set every year was cheap crap got me some Bosch been in it several years still going strong.

I have put petrol in it more times than I care to admit stopped when it run bad and drained and fitted new fuel filter seems all good.

Had a strange ticking noise top end not regular turns out the timing chain was ready to snap, changed timing chain and tensioner at the same time I removed the camshaft and reshimend the valve clearances.

Put a new battery in it last year first battery it looked like it was the original I replaced !

Just did an oil and filter change I also changed the front diff oil and will change the LSD rear diff oil tomorrow.

I change the gearbox its manual transfer box and diff oils every couple of years or so and the diffs after deep river crossings.

I also had to change the universal joints on the propshaft and usual front disk pads once.

Had to change the anti roll bar bushes which I upgraded to the fancy orange ones.

Had the injectors checked when I did the timing chain all was well, I change the fuel filter every couple of years or when I put petrol in it.

The Tritons been through some rough terrain and deep river crossings which stuffed the auto box in my mates same truck petrol, water got into the auto my manual was fine ?

Wheel bearings hate deep water started using a thick oily stuff instead of wheel bearing grease so far so good'

Removed the EGR valve made a difference.

Replaced a plastic bush the bottom of the gear stick so it was less like stirring porridge changing gear.

The odd steering linkages.

My opinion was and is a great ute hopefully good for an other 300,000 k
