got a new head

i got a new head for my 2.6 from a place in florida. new casting without the jet valves. any difference in torque specs or just follow normal procedure??

torque specs are the same as stock head unless you use arp head studs - they are higher.

Is there anything you don't know about these truck'syou must have worked on the assembly line

thanks for the help pennyman

He knows way to much and that's a good thing for these trucks

haha no such thing as tooo knowledgeable

He bought the first one ever made so I doubt there is anything he doesnt know about them. Then again he's not so familiar with the 2.4L EFI :p

Thats it, he got the 1st one ever made[ the Holy Grail ] And good luck getting your engine straight

im hoping THIS head wont fail me

Have paitience and it should come together

thanks. when its all together il post some build pics and the final product

Maybe later this year ill rebuild my engine,if I don't get a Dodge Charger 1st

i cant wait til mines done and i can drive it. im lookin to get a bit muddy when its all done . also my engines getting a pretty purple paint job.

I have a friend who takes me to some really nice offroad spots where we can really play

yea i got a bunch of pits and trails to explore here. tired of being in the passenger spot haha

Having Geronimo for over 32 years since new and having several others over the years tends to gjve you some knowledge if you pay attention. Thanks for the kind words - I'll try not to get a swelled head...lol

As long as you've had one you even saw when they discontinued them in 97. I think they should bring these small trucks back. I think it would really help mitsubishi come back to life if they advertise a small cheap pickup that has a diesel option with over 40mpg.

nah ur good man. it really helps to have a guy like u on our board. shoot, i wish i woulda bought my truck brand new too..mine's only been in my family since around '96

The problem with having a truck like ours built today is that it would not pass crash tests without major rework, and it would have to be built in the US to avoid the 25% import tariff. Mitsubishi is not interested in the US market for trucks - their rebadge of the dogkota was a disaster sales wise.
