    Welcome, and gratz on the acquisition!

    Your wheelbase will be the 116 inch (2950 mm). Macro Cabs just put a shortbed on the longbed wheelbase and filled the gap with more cab. Not sure offhand if tanks differed by wheelbase or bed size.

    Welcome!

    The fuel system is a return type, fuel pressure regulator under the intake manifold upper section.

    My '93 FSM shows 3 different tanks, with 4 different capacities
    RWD 2X4 STANDARD BODY -13.7 GALLON
    RWD 2X4 LONG BODY - 18.2 GALLON
    4WD (no further description) - 15.9 GALLON
    3.0L ENGINE - 19.8 GALLON.

    In the FSM, the tanks from the 3.0 and the 'long body' appear to be VERY similar,
    differences being vapor line routing and extra valving/connections.

    hopefully this info gets you a bit further along !

    Never heard of BCA as a supplier but I have never owned a Mitsubishi product. Lots to learn
    Interesting, when I lookup parts for my '87 Dodge Ram 50 2.6L, they list several suppliers for both types of carrier bearing -- 2WD long wheelbase vs. 4x4, I think? Examine your old one to match the right type. I'd guess the sole one you saw listed was the only one that explicitly listed the '95 MMM as an application -- not sure if that one was listed by mistake vs. an oversight for the other suppliers. That same BCA part # NBHB30 is also among those listed for my '87, but seems like it may be a 4WD type anyway?

    BTW I'm in the dark as far as a manual is concerned I looked in the forum are for those and didn't find any factory one listed for my truck but there was a alot listed could have overlooked it.
    Once you donate to the forum, you should gain access to add'l forum sections including where manuals are posted for download.
