Pajero 2.8 lt turbo diesel

I have a swb 2.8 turbo diesel (auto). It is a 'winterised' version ex factory.
I was hard driving in sand drifts and dunes for about 3 hours today practising sand driving techniques with some challenging climbs and trying not to get to much air when cresting ridges, this was followed by a 50 km run on a very soft sand beach. The soft beach really gave the transmission a hard workout. The gps said I was only averaging 52 kmph and I kept an eye on the temp gauge. The temp stayed on normal and the A/T light stayed off. My vehicle has a seperate A/T oil cooler radiator in front of the air con radiator, not all Pajeros have this. The standard Pajero A/T cooling tube should be replaced with an after market improved version otherwise I don't think you will have any problems but I am sure you will get lots more advice on this forum.

I had a triton ute with the 2.5lt motor, and had a eceptional run out of it.

As far as ive heard the 2.8 ltr is one of the most bullet proof motors out there

But like all diesels you must be particular with the servicing.
