Default My name is Mitsubishi, say what?

Thats right my name is Mitsubishi and when I say diesel everyone looks confused, but its true.

I was once left for dead out in Japan, had water in my cylinders sitting alone in the cold. I came to America and my new owner didn't want me so they bought my sibling from Australia.
But when they found out he was all abused and broken they all the sudden wanted me back, see I wasn't so bad after all. Well this guy named shittletits tore us both apart and said he would give us each a chance to live on together as one.
Parts from here and parts from there, a machine shop here and machine shop there, Its been an incredible journey but today I stand strong and ready in a new home, I have started and smoked, coughed and choked but I
am learning to be a better diesel everyday. I live in a 86' Winnebeggo with my mates, one of those is transaxle, but I don't judge. He is French and his name is Renault. My other room mate radiator, he is from Germany and he keeps me cool, his name is BMW.

My name might be Mitsubishi but they call me the Mighty 4M40! I am the beast from the east!
PS: That coughing and smoking problem I mentioned earlier, ya...I might need some help with that


My name is Mitsubishi, but you can call the Mighty 4M40!

Mitsubishi make some great diesels, saw a few of them while stationed in Germany in the late 70, early 80s. Not exactly power houses, but then American diesels in cars & trucks weren't either. As for the cough and smoke don't feel bad my IDI 7.3L does too.
