Hey there' Ive got a pajero '90 V6 and its ok on gas, and has enough grunt, it's the 3.0l sohc, and it's no where near as complex as the later dohc 3.5l, my 2 cents worth.
Yeah thats the next step, though the auto is strong and the cooler temp seems ok(hand touch temp test), nah I havn't been towing with it till this is sorted, thanks for the imput.
