My HBB accumulator went out and replacing it was simple ... and its worked great for 1-2 years now. The other day my ABS light ... and all other lights came on, nonstop beep (should be the PULL OVER AND PARK warning). This happened a block from the the tire shop I was going to. I had enough...

Thank you for the excellent feedback and steps. I'm still on step#3 but just being careful as those plastic clips to pop the grill look a bit fragile.

2006 gen3 Montero I bought these after market headlights off ebay and they look nice. They claimed to be glass but are all plastic. I have yet to see how good to included "bulds" (bulbs) are. Nothing fancy but the wife wasn't happy with the restore the originals results. Does anyone have...

We have a 2006 Montero (Gen3) Limited -- has the DVD entertainment system overheard instead of sunroof. Infinity head unit and amp, there are also a couple of tweeters on the front window pillers. All stock. The speakers sound distorted at pretty low/normal volumes, esp. buzzing at anything...

Rockauto sells a knock sensor for the 2006 montero.

Thanks to everyone replying thus far, this is very helpful. I live at 6500' in Colorado, and the road of concern is a 200-300' rise and generally not reliably plowed, especially if the storm was not known in advance. I always drive outside of the well packed/ICE tracks that most drivers seem...

Ok, that makes sense -- thank you!

Whats the correct gap for the spark plugs? I used this gasket for $33 (after being recommended on other montero forums) ... it worked great and was high quality, perfect fit. No leaks.

I always thought that staying in gear was best? Maybe even downshift to prevent using brakes on the ice, let the transmission slow you without braking?

Hi, We have a new to us 2006 Montero Limited and yes its mostly going to be for the wife around town ... on PAVED ROADS ... esp. in snowy/icy road conditions. Any tips on your preferred 4WD gearing (4H or ??) and how you drive based on increasingly worsening conditions of snow and extreme...

Just bought a new to me 06 Montero Limited (Gen 3) and it says on the fuel cap to use premium gas. The vehicle is in great shape, but has high miles 172k ... Is this a must do, a very good idea, or optional ? Worth it? Not worth it? Thoughts appreciated. Scott

I did the valve covers on a 2003 montero sport ... and it sucked big time. Turned out good, but was a lot more than I had expected. Now we have a 2006 Montero (non sport) and this job looks much easier by comparison as there is a lot more space (to work within) everywhere. You can't change...
