Most snorkels are for show or dust, but if you plan on doing actual water crossings, make sure you take it seriously. Water crossings can be a daily...

    So your Gen3 Montero is leaking fuel when parked uphill, going up an obstacle or when it is hot outside?

    Everywhere I look it's telling me that the Fuel Tank Leveling Valve - 1785A010 is for a Lancer, not a Montero. Can anyone confirm the fit, please?

    Gen 3 Montero (3.8 gas) - Build / Repair / Maintenance - Advice & Opinions wanted (Costa Rica)

    Yes, pretty regularly above 30 degrees during the hot part of the day with high humidity and intense sun. This issue has only surfaced since I replaced the solenoid for the 4x4 actuator, but maybe it is not related.

    Update, the stalling issue has presented itself again. Fortunately it went away after switching to 2h and restarting the vehicle.It seems driving in 4x4H causes the issue show. I know my 4x4 actuator is pretty rusty and dirty but I don't think they're related. Considering taking it to a shop for...

The one I passed on, although very clean interior and exterior, had some whiney sounds and as i test drove it, a squeak coming from one of...

    The stalling issue happened on level ground, in a parking garage. The only culprit I've narrowed it down to is the low fuel, which I'm assuming the guy kept the gas low to hide the gas leak problem Good to know on the cable adjustment for the trans. I'll do some research to see what/how is...
