"A relatively well performing piece"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Water pump failure immediately after purchase.

While attempting to replace the water pump, it required in turn, removing the crank pulley with a harmonic balance puller to remove the lower timing belt cover, faulty design if you ask me.

Uncomfortable Seating arrangement, no possible way to adjust the seat.

Transmission is very rough, produces a lot of odd noises while driving down the road.

Along with that, the rear suspension seems to be making a progressing rattling noise, as if something is coming lose.

U-Joints going out.

General comments?

I will admit, this truck is not brand new, and I just received it, but the amount of problems encountered immediately after spending $300 to repair minor things has already forced me to sell it, if anyone claims this is a reliable truck, I'm sure a few out there are, but for the majority I have seen, they seem to be problematic, and on top of that, parts seem to be relatively more expensive than most cars/trucks I've owned.

My 1982 Celica at 230,000 miles I have had less problems with in the last 60,000 miles I've owned it, almost nil to none.

I love my mits truck and have had little problems with it besides the normal wear and tear.

MY truck has 112,000 miles on it and still runs great. NO problems except usual wear an tear items like timing belt and exhaust pipe.

I have a 1991 Mitsubishi Mighty Max V6 4x4. I was just wondering if anyone knew/knows why it lost spark and does not run anymore. Get back to me at allisonpride@hotmail.com

I have owned my Mighty Max ever since we bought it in 1991, and I have never had a problem. I drive it hard, I do burnouts, and I have pulled a Cadillac to the crusher with it, and with 120,000 miles on it I have kinda turned it in to race truck and run a 75 shot of nitrous, and it handles it with no problems.
