sounds top end like a sticky lifter, my daewoo work vehicle had exactly the same noise, had to get the lifters replaced.
A good engine flush and a teflon based treatment may help (before replacing the lifters the service company put in an additive every 5000K to stop the noise)

Hi, Everyone has an opinion, but I have noticed on the yank sites such as pirate4x4 where they want good flex, but also good traction and still being able to drive on the open road - triangulated 4 link is the go. There are calculation programs that you can adjust every aspect of the 4 link geometry...

The fact that it goes away, only happens under light load sort of rules out most of the answers so far (ie mechanical/electrical faults) Only thoughts are that at 2K to 2K8 rpm, light load on the highway the engine computer will be running things fairly lean, easy for a misfire to take place esp if ...

Older diesel engine - expect smoke :D Being a 93, keep an eye on the injector pump, play close attention if it seems to be "damp" The pump will start leaking at some stage, took me 15 bucks and 2 hours of my time to replace the two seals (diesel boy did a good write up somewhere on how to change them)

If the latter, spend the extra, cos of the HUGE range of after-market stuff that I dont think Mitsi have. eg? I second the "example please" I dont know of one item that you can't get for a mitzy that you can for a toyota. I do agree that we need to know what the truck is for, hard yaka or "mall cru...

Toyota vs Mitzy. Opinions are like a#$eholes, we all have them. Most guys tend to sit in the toyota camp. Get on the net and do some research (its a big purchase decision), based on what is needed for offroad use (I assume thats what you want this for) Look for things as ramp over angles, aproach/de...
