Ladies and gentleman, work to rebuild the 3.0L of my 1990 LWB has started. Notice in the pic my 1988 SWB, once done with the LWB it will be next for the turbo 2.6L already sitting in my garage. I want the LWB done first because the SWB is more of my project car. Javy

Update: replaced the solenoids and problem fixed. It took 5 mins. Javy

I like it. You have great skills. Javy

Hey guys, I have decided that after successfully rebuilding the 3.5L on my wife GEN III (I posted the process) I will embark in rebuilding the 3.0L on my 1990 GEN I LWB. It needs the head gaskets and at 350K miles I think it will be better to start fresh and give it a new life. The 3.5L has a...

Hey guys, could it be a leak on the vacuum system as well. When I rebuilt the engine I found a broken vacuum line, I replaced it but I guess I should have done the same with all the lines. Oh well, I switch it to 4wd and drove it around and the light went away but I am checking all the...

Hey guys. Driving the Gen III today I noticed the corny tires 4WD lights started blinking and the heard a grinding noise as if it was trying to engage. I was under 65 mph so I shifted into 4H and it went away but the lights are still blinking. Tried to shift into 4L, went on reverse etc and...

UPDATE: Well, I got a radiator from Rockauto.com and it was to big (top to Bottom) by about 1/2". I returned it, wasting $16 in the process, got a second one also from Rockauto.com, size was fine but it still needed to have the mounting holes modified plus the fad shroud mounting holes were so...

I am still interested on the rear-view mirrors, are they still available? Javy

Hello guys, Well, about time, after 33 years the radiator decided to say "NO MORE". Took it to the radiator shop and the core is shut and the tanks have expanded so it is pretty much junk. I have been online and the first piece from Rockauto, now plastic and Aluminum, was off by 1/2". I returned...

How about both rear view mirrors, tail lights and front side markers? Javy

Coil, is for my 1990 LWB. Looking to benefit from the disk brakes.

I am looking to swap the rear diff out of a Gen 2 into a Gen 1, does anyone know the year and if it is from the sport? Javy

URGENT!!!! Gets, I am working on my wife's 2001 Montero 3.5L (6G74). Long story short, daughter drove it with the oil level on the low side it was too expensive to have someone fix or replace the engine ($8,000 +) so I decided to do it myself regardless of the little time I have available...

URGENT!!!! Gets, I am working on my wife's 2001 Montero 3.5L (6G74). Long story short, engine came out in perfect shape. Only a spun bearing that caused no damage. I am assembling it but for the life of me I cannot find the knock sensor bracket plate >: [ do any one of you know the part # or do...

NorthCounty, I know how to fix it. Under the center steering cover you will find that the contacts are separated by a thin piece of foam that over the years turns brittle and deteriorate into pieces. I fixed mine with a piece of felt from Michael's, Walmart or any craft store, cut it round...

Michael, That is awesome encouragement. I need to get this done but how or what is the procedure to remove all the fluid? to be honest, I do not trust these "flush" jobs at the regular oil change chain stores and the dealer are, well you know, way overpriced. Thanks, Javy

Hey guys, Will the rotors and calipers from a 2000- 2003 Montero Sport fit the GEN I? I looked in our compatibility thread but couldn't come across specifics. Thanks, Javy

I like what you did to the grill. Javy

Me? damn it!!! work on the stupid and cheap valve cover gaskets I put on the 1990 LWB a short while ago. They don't seem to have the right shape or form to stay put and seal the valve cover, it was leaking on the passenger side creating a mess and a burning smell that was driving me insane to...
