Hi there, I was just searching for some answers on youtube for my 08 Triton to get it fixed, when one of your clips was mentioning about Luke Crane from Westcoast Triton which then made me feel that " I made the right choice by go with Luke Crane as my mechanic ". P.s : my 💙 triton will be going for a visit at Master Luke Crane place to get it fixed month. Informative, Humble in knowledge, Affordable & Trustworthy mate.

Good to see learning I guess, Iv had had almsot 0 issues with my triton, apart from the headgasket failure that was replaced with long block completly free by mitz. It just makes me so sad to see so many mechanics been disingenuous. I do rember seeing the post about the shaking stering wheel on the fb group and intresting that balenaces dident solve it. Maybe there just crap tires to balance? who knows

@Dragonio3 10 месяцев назад

still workin on findin that tire issue haha

@anonymity6876 4 месяца назад

Have you found the vibration through the steering? Just a suggestion check round out of your front disc rotors. Out of round faulty tire. Faulty front wheel bearing just a thought. Good luck 👍 ✌️😎🇦🇺🍻

What year model is this? I was looking at getting a 2012 triton dual cab manaul 2.5l turbo diesel but this has scared me.

@Dragonio3 Месяц назад

when u buy a high km's ute they will usually have a few issues here n there. Dont worry, mostly this is bad luck with bad mechanics. But that model of triton (2.5l) is known for having an engine overheating issue (incorrect machining of the block I have heard) thankfully I do not have that with mine, its a hit and miss generally. Mine is a MN 2010 triton

@@Dragonio3yup i juat did some research and no offense but they are a hazard on wheels. Too many big issues for me. I won't be buying one now. I can see why they call mitsubishi, 'mitsushiti'

@CarbonEternity 6 месяцев назад

Sucks you experienced this mate hope its sorted now. Ive noticed alot of places treat you weird if youve got a triton, especially if its a shop that deals with alot of rangerlux/landcruisers (im looking at you ARB). Its real weird.

@Dragonio3 5 месяцев назад

i had a feeling, i thought it was just me haha. I believe they are more landcruiser lovers, n when they see a triton, they prolly think, what a piece of garbage😆 I mean alot of places also 'do' whats popular, ive learnt, like the 4wd show, many shops adapted and are now gearing towards American utes, along side the usual landcruisers n rangers

@CarbonEternity 5 месяцев назад

@Dragonio3 yeah, I mean they cater for people willing to spend money, and I guess triton hasn't been as marketed heavily as rangerlux/patrolcrusier, it is what it is lol. I'll keep being happy with my vehicle lol.

@unshackledsoul 4 месяца назад

Oh man...this is stuff i want to avoid haha and i want to buy a triton too

@Dragonio3 4 месяца назад

just find a trustworthy mechanic, look at who works on the vehicles when you walk into a mechanic shop. Always get secound opinion on the issues you face with the vehicle, and of-course lots of research.

@LTT.Official 5 месяцев назад

First mistake was going back to the first mechanic shop, cross threading bolts on a skid plate, what the actual fuck?

@Dragonio3 5 месяцев назад

totally agree with you on that 😆

@task82 3 месяца назад

Wow, I'm sorry you had such a shitty experience with finding a decent mechanic. Can't help but wonder if they deliberately took you for a ride because you're a young woman. Hoping you have a whole lot of trouble free motoring moving forward 🙏

@Dragonio3 3 месяца назад

Thank you! And yes as far as ive heard that could be highly likely sadly 🤦.

I own a ml and mn an mr tritons did anyone in the suspension world tell you about 2 inch lift in tritons it is 1 inch in suspension 1 inch on tyres 2 inch lift the top control arm hits plus the shake on steering and check angle of cvs you really didn't do your homework i wanted a 2 inch lift when i went to efs and tough dog suspension both told me the same thing and showed me why you run a bit of aggressive tyre did you check legal specs because thatd not legal now i am a mechanic you have been riped off that luke fella is the only reputable mechanic in the whole ordeal for a tune the only place i goto is berrima diesel been around for over 60 years

@Dragonio3 4 месяца назад

difference between dobinsons and alot of others is that its a true 50mm lift (adjustable to 75mm or 3 inch), tough dog is 25mm and 20mm in MR tritons, well aware and have warned others about that. cv angles are almost flat. I have videos about why the steering wheel shakes happened, all came down to balance and a bad tyre from factory. With 3 inch suspension lift you will need after market upper control arms.
