What did you do to your Mitsubishi today?
- Thread starter Nebel
- Start date
Man, my water pump sprung a leak at the gasket after only 40k miles. Note to self, never use hylomar as a sealant again. I don't know why I didn't use the tried and true Permatex aviation sealant I'd been using for the past 20 years. Lesson learned.
Rather than take everything apart and just seal up the gasket, I decided to go ahead and change out the water pump, timing belt, tensioners, crank/cam seals and thermostat as well...not a fun job, so I hope it lasts the full 60k miles this time.
Had the alternator and starter rebuilt for good measure because at 150k miles I figured it was time.

Planned for upcoming repairs
Ordered new front driveshafts due to cracking boots and one that is clunking on me (outer boot ring long gone for who knows how long), also ordered new shocks and diff carrier oil seals. Might do ball joints at the same time. Working on a 98 with 200,000 on it. All the stuff I'm replacing is factory original.

I renewed my steering linkage. New inner and outer tie rods. New adjustment sleeves. New Pittman arm. New idler arm. Then I performed a preliminary alignment with my laser level. The result has been awesome. No more strange creaky noises and odd thumps. And the preliminary alignment pulls slightly to the right so I'll be taking it in to the shop to get professionally aligned.

I finally got my hitch installed yesterday after crossthreading one of the weldnuts in the frame on Monday. Rented a tap and die set from autozone, and prayed like hell it would actually work. Turns out, it did, and now I just need to hook up the wiring harness for the trailer lights on the boat.
