Keep up the good work An you make us all look good. Your DSM must be the only trouble free one out there. Your still on a 7 bolt and doing this all the time. Nice job.

thanks, yeah stock engine but things haven't been trouble free:
1. rear open diff broke on highway; i upgraded to stock vlsd
2. had to buy starter again; it lasted only 2.5 yrs =(
3. timing belt broke, doh!  head job and replaced a bunch of stuff while in there
4. stall coming to a stop: fixed w/ used $45 idle speed control on ebay!
5. replaced worn propeller shaft center bearings (one is no longer stocked by mitsu usa!) and u joints
