but the brake job will be $650/800 if they can't save the rotors.


The brakes are easier than you think. The usual problems are getting the allen head bolts out and then getting the wheel bearing nut off/on. You can get a rebuilt caliper from NAPA. Just be ready for the core charge. It's more expensive than the purchase price. A good machine shop can turn the rotors. They will also be able to tell you if the rotors are still within spec. Be sure to repack the wheel bearings while you are in there.

Suggested parts:
MB526395 Wheel hub oil seal (one per side)
MB500812 Disc brake pad kit (one per truck)
Double check the part numbers with a Dodge/Mitsubishi dealer.

The steering gear seal/flush will be $270.


Is your steering gear leaking out the top? If so, just order and install a MB553220 Adjusting bolt repair package. This repair package was available in 1989. Unless the steering gear changed, it should work for your 1992.

Yes, Dodge imported the Mitsu truck and only changed the badges. Dodge dealers can get you the parts or you can order the parts online.

Get a copy of the service manual. The service manual shows disassembly/assembly steps, torque values, etc. Paper copies show up on eBay from time to time. As with any repair, take your time, use the correct tools, do it right.

A "factory locker"? You may want to double check this. I thought the only options were open and LSD.

Oh yea - Welcome to this corner of the internet. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
