What did you upgrade it with? I need to replace mine.

That is something that needs to be checked any time you replace the brake booster or the master cylinder since it sets the relationship between the brake booster rod and the master cylinder piston.

If you replaced the master cylinder, you need to make sure the depth of the Piston in the master cylinder and the length of the brake booster rod are within specs. I belive the gap between them is only a couple millimiters, check the factory manual. Too big a gap makes the pedal feel spongy. I...

Thanks for the heads up. Truck is a white 99 owned by a forum member, he had issues with negative pressure building inside the tank. The tank was not damaged by an impact, it actually imploded by excessive negative pressure. I found a new vapor canister on rock auto under 2000-2001 Montero...

Called the local Autozone but part is not available.

Just bought a 99 Montero for my son. The fuel tank is collapsed and leaking (charcoal canister is really heavy, looks like is saturated with either water or fuel) I'm calling salvage yards in Phoenix AZ, but haven't found one yet. If anybody has one or knows where to get one please let me know.

One thing I did to improve the A/C performance was to increase the compressor cycle time by installing a 36K ohm resistor across the terminals of the evaporator temperature thermistor, also installed dynamat extreme on the floor from the footwell all the way to the rear seats. I live in Phoenix...

IR thermometers are very inaccurate to measure air temperature, try using a probe thermometer and you'll see a big difference. At 20 degrees the evaporator will be definitely be iced up.
