    Gen 3 A/C issues

    Thank you all for the help. I did try changing to auto and same problem. I ended up having the shop replace the condenser and the switch based on their recommendation but it did not fix the problem. They said the condenser was leaking, but idk how true that was, but it’s possible. Regardless, my...

    Gen 3 A/C issues

    Update: that sensor checks out. I idled the truck for a while with the AC on. It was cold as ice for 5-10 minutes, but eventually became warm as expected. It sounded like the compressor was no longer kicking on. The switch measured as normal and once the ac became warm, unplugging the switch had...

    Gen 3 A/C issues

    Well, it looks like I was wrong. The factory service manual states that switch should have continuity when everything is normal. And it loses continuity if pressure falls or increases to a bad pressure. So I think right now, the reading is good. So the switch still could be the problem. But...

    Gen 3 A/C issues

    Thank you for the reply. I went looking for a temp or pressure sensor by the condenser and found the pressure sensor that the shop said is probably bad. I think it's just a simple cut off switch if the pressure gets too high. With the truck completely cold, not driven in a day, I unplugged the...

    Gen 3 A/C issues

    Morning all, I'm having an A/C issue. Last summer, my A/C started intermittently blowing warm. It happens really consistently now, it will usually start off cold, then go warm after 10-20 mins of cold. It happens quicker if outside ambient temp is high or dry. I brought it in to the shop, they...

    Gen 3 Montero Sticky Glove Box Handle Latch - FIX

    Interesting, google says that's like a lithium grease with PFTE added? I like the idea of greasing the inside with a small ziptie

    2002 montero limited rear end rumble/vibration over 50mph

    Ok, I've made a bunch of improvements. Some helped a tiny amount and others helped a ton. I'm stoked to say that my vibrations are GONE. This truck is smooth as SILK. MAGIC CARPET Thank you all for your input and suggestions. Here's what we did: Removed the 50mm strut spacers from the front...

    Gen 3 Montero Sticky Glove Box Handle Latch - FIX

    Pulled it out, sprayed it out again, then smothered it in mitsubishi blood. Then sprayed out again, then soaked in blood again. Then let all the excess blood ooze out for a few hours and wiped off the outside of the lock before reinstalling. Look at the nasty brown that slowly drained out...

    Gen 3 Montero Sticky Glove Box Handle Latch - FIX

    Update: my cleaning/fix does not work long term. Now that the brake clean dried, the lock is even more stuck than before. I’ll try adding some sort of oil or lubricant and keep y’all updated.

    Gen 3 Montero Sticky Glove Box Handle Latch - FIX

    The grease within my glove box latches had thickened to the point that the latches barely work and sometimes don't work at all. For the top glove box, I could open it, but the latch would not return when releasing the handle, so the glove box would not latch closed after opening. And it was...

    Gen 3 suspension: Koni vs Bilstien

    Looks like a lot of people want a lift with their suspension and for it to ride "better". Of course, "better" is different for everyone and lot's of online mentions of suspension for our vehicles don't compare aftermarket suspensions to each other or give good detailed descriptions of ride...

    2002 montero limited rear end rumble/vibration over 50mph

    I think you were on to something here. I never checked torque converter slip, but I did 2 transmission drain and fills in the past few weeks. Just drained the pan and refilled with about 4 quarts to get back to correct level. The shifting got smoother both times. I didn't think the transmission...

    2002 montero limited rear end rumble/vibration over 50mph

    When cold, the truck is smooth as silk. After driving 10-15 minutes on the highway, the rumble comes back. Only under acceleration, and only above 50-60 mph. I took the truck to a mechanic who told me all the wheel bearings are good, and there is slight play in the main drive shaft. The entire...

    2005 Gen 3 Montero (Pajero) Overland Build

    Interesting how much the hp and torque are affected by awd. I'm also curious how much those numbers will be affected by the new gearing.

    1995 Mitsubishi Montero LS Build Thread

    Looks great, keep us updated! I also had a 95 and I agree, the front rotor design was annoying.

    2002 montero limited rear end rumble/vibration over 50mph

    I think you’re on to something here. The rear axles appear original, but I want to take the rear end apart and check each cv axle condition. I found an aftermarket cv axle that sounds like they use the rezepa style joint. I also see used axles on eBay for $120 each. Additionally, I thought I...

    2002 montero limited rear end rumble/vibration over 50mph

    I tried adding both back in, separately and together. The trans damper definitely added a different, rpm related vibe back. The rear axle damper might have reduced the consistency of this speed related rumble/vibe. Right now, running the truck with the rear axle damper installed but no trans damper.

    Yamaha TW200? Looking for feedback

    Love my Tdub for exactly the use case described here. Bring it with camping on the back of the truck and occasionally load it up for overnighters. It's a comfy mountain goat. Don't expect to cruise over 50mph though.
