Was driving out in the mountains today and came across a trashed mini-pickup obviously abandoned, vandalized and scrounged through, sitting on some pieces of firewood. Thought it might be a Toyota so took a look since my girlfriend's Toyota pickup needs new springs. Turns out it was a Mitsubishi. I'd never seen a Mitsubishi pickup before. It had a Chrysler logo next to the Mitsu logo. What caught my attention is that everything under the hood appears to be intact and it appears have a 4-cyl turbocharged diesel engine. Maybe it was direct fuel injected gas, but there were injector lines going to each cylinder, which, combined with the turbo, tells me it's likely a real diesel. If it's a diesel, it seems like it might be a neat little mill that a guy could use for any number of things. It also was 4WD and all the running gear was still there. Anybody know anything about a Mitsubish diesel?
