Must watch before the drive

Well in such overheating episode,fan clutch is first to doubt and often missed component, as people start running around circle for radiator, coolant, aux fan etc. However, assuming your radiator, coolant and all other engine cooling component are in good shape, then surely viscose clutch fan needs a change. I know it must be expensive, but its needed. I'm not sure about what's the connection with AC pressure switch, @Barry @treks @desertdude might be able to reason this out. Hey while at it, get your heater working, as in all desert cars when car overheats, we can dissipate lot of engine heat with heater blower in few seconds. Its kind of last emergency tool for rescuing overheating cars.

Who says you will have 4-5 night drives....? lololol. 4-5 night drives every week X 4-5 months = 16-20 night drives every year. May, June, July, Aug, Sep

That means Mitsubishi have done some fail safe in new Pajero's. Please dont do that gain. Always stop before you shift from LO-HI and vice versa, also make sure you are in Neutral gear and not in D or Parking.

Yes it did, and it wasn't a plastic bush, it was a metal nut fallen into the gear oil. Luckily nothing happen. Yesterday it happened again and transfer case went to neutral, as I pulled from LO to Hi without looking down as I was under the impression that I'm in HI and wanted to shift to 2WD from 4WD, without stopping (which is normal). I hope Mitsubishi sorted this in newer Pajero by installing some fail safe mechanism to prevent driver making such horrible mistakes. Never ever switch to Hi - Lo or vice versa without stopping. 2WD - 4WD and even 4HLC you can do without stopping, with just drive gear in neutral.

As this is your second car, so doing sidey at 2nd gear wouldn't be the safest option? So that you don't tinker with on-road + wifey and kids car so she still drives safe in dunes and on-road. Whenever she wants to do drive at a higher level, she can take the little one to have her chance to push as much as she likes.

Transfer case shifting from LO to HI without stopping happened today and transfer case got stuck in neutral. Here are the steps needed to bring back Hi/Lo selector back in its place. Mitsubishi issued the TSB back in 2001 for the same. MITSUBISHI MOTORS TECHNICAL INFORMATION TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN SUBJECT: No: TSB-01 -23-002 TRANSFER LEVER STUCK IN 4H DATE: February 2001 On 4-wheel-drive models, shifting from 4L to 4H should only be done with the vehicle stopped and the transmission in Neutral. If the driver forces the transfer lever from 4L to 4H while the vehicle is moving, the lever may become stuck in 4H. If the transfer lever goes from the H-L shift fork to the 2-4WD shift fork while the vehicle is moving, the clutch sleeve is forced to return to the low speed gear when it hits the chamfer of the input gear. As a result, the lever is in 4H, but the gear is engaged in 4L. This bulletin describes how to adjust the transfer shift forks to eliminate this condition. AFFECTED VEHICLES 1997-2001 Montero Sport models equipped with 4-wheel-drive FILE UNDER: Group 23 Automatic Transmission in the Dealer Service Information Binder (2239) This bulletin supercedes TSB- 00-23-004, issued May, 2000, to correct affected vehicles, shift lever bolt identification, and shift fork positioning Corrections are indicated by ‘b." BOOT TRANSFER LEVER TRANSFER SHIFT LEVER TRANSFER LEVER BRACKET TSB-01 -23-002 PROCEDURE Remove the transfer lever shift knob. Remove the center console. Remove the transfer lever bracket (6 bolts). Lift the boot up and remove the shill lever (4 bolts). Disconnect the vent line from the shift boot. Check the location of the H-L shift fork. If it is not in the H position, use a brass punch to push the shift fork toward the front of the vehicle. Check the location of the 2-4WD shift fork. If it is not in 2WD, use a brass punch to push the shift fork toward the front of the vehicle. If necessary, adjust the return spring so it can be set with the 2-4WD shift fork. IMPORTANT: Do not place the return spring in the gap between the H-L shift fork and the 2-4WD shift fork. Remove the old sealant adhesive from the transfer lever and housing contact surfaces. Apply Mitsubishi Silicone Gasket Sealant TSB1 215 (p/n A99OZC1 X02) or equivalent to the transfer lever and housing contact surfaces. Place the end of the transfer lever in the 2-4WD shift fork and reinstall the lever into the housing. Set the return spring. Confirm that the transfer lever can be moved smoothly. Tighten the bolts securing the lever to 15-22 Nm (11-16 ft/lbs). Reinstall the transfer lever boot bracket. Reinstall the center console. Reinstall the transfer lever shift knob. Advise the owner of proper transfer lever operation: Shift from 4L to 4H only with the vehicle stopped and the transmission in Neutral. WARRANTY INFORMATION Transfer Shift Fork Adjustment Nature Code: 99D Cause Code: 990 Labor Operation No. 23111090 Time Allowance: 0.8 hr. Warranty Coverage: 36 months/36000 miles. Special Warranty Information: Includes transfer shift lever removal and reinstallation. Normal warranty procedures apply. Copyright 2001 Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America, Inc. All rights reserved.

Most welcome.

Will they send mechanic with test tool to the house for 400...? Never heard of this before.

Check engine mounts as first culprit to doubt that why it happen. For emergency repair Go down, remove that neck with screw driver and put cloth inside the suction tube that goes inside the manifold. Use super glue generously on inside the crack surface. Use araldite (two paste to mix) easily available in groceries too. Use that on top of cracked surface and let it dry for 2 hours. Then use a breathable strong clothe, like the crepe bandage and wrap on whole neck. Then cover whole neck with strong masking/duct/aluminium tape. Then put several cable ties on each ring. Install back and it would be good for long time even with 6k rpm but still get this neck change as soon as market open after eid holidays.
