I have 89 V6 SWB with 5 speed-can I put auto from bearly 90's in without too many issues?

"Block seal" didn't work. Was told to check for throttle body heat adapter (?) gasket-recall issue for vehicles to prevent icing of the tb. If not that I guess the heads will come off. :mad::yikes::violent-smiley-031: and then I guess If I pull them I might as well get the heads...

I changed the water pump, hoses, timing belt and refilled radiator, changed oil/filter about 1800 miles ago when I had the crank pulley replaced. It ran super when I picked it up. Stopped beside the road one afternoon with the grandbaby to "pet the horsies". When I got back in and started her...

Is it possible that the head gasket developed "issues" while sitting parked for about 18 months?

Mine is almost identical to yours--just not as modded. But I was working on that before wife lost jobs.

I have the 3.0. Lost about a quart of coolant in a week. Parked it this morning-started sounding a little rough yesterday afternoon with the freshly charged a/c cooling. Now I maybe having the same issue with my Samurai-parked it at my mother's this morning and got her car to come to work...

:wings: Well, I am riding in the cool now. Unfortunately it cost me $65 to get converted over...:punk03:, but there was -0- pressure in my system. And for 2.5 lbs of R134 and the oil and the time I guess it was worth it. Now for the next issue..........:violent-smiley-031: White smoke (or...

:victory: Thanks. Yeah it helps. Either of you know if the low pressure port is the one on the A/C compressor or the one on the hose? Gotta switch it over. Might as well paint the console/dash parts when I pull them.

:coffee: yEAH, i KNOW, DO A SEARCH, BUT LIMITED ACCESS TO SYSTEM, SO ANY RESPONSES WOULD WOULD BE APPRECIATED--SEND TO MY EMAIL (GTYNER@FRISCHKORN.COM). I have an 89 SWB V6 Montero. Cruise control doesn't work and vent's only go thru floor-can't switch to defroster of "face level". Are these...

it had been parked for about 16 months--broke the crank bolt (I know, shocking that would happen to a monty :Wow1: ) and just hadn't bothered to fix it with gas being $4/gallon when it happened and my ford averaging 38 1/2 mpg. Started to do the 4.3 conversion-had the engine lined up-but...

:wings: Got the Monty back on the road :victory::smiley_drive: kinda drove about 15 miles and burst the rear brake line-so, I gotta fix it. Read on one of the posts here about the gear ration being on the silver tag under the hood-(i just thought that was engine information), so, if nothing...

I just picked up an 87 myself. I did have an 88.5 with the 16v and it was great. This one has a .20 over stock engine, weber and thorley header, 4.10 axles on 33's. Not much get up and go after 3rd gear, but it runs and is paid for. IF I HAD the $$$$ and time I would do a 2.8 from a 90-92...

HC where are you at? You found a Monty yet? gary

sorry 3.0 v6

I am doing some work on my 89 Montero and I need to remove the p/s pump and a/c compressor--I have removed every bolt I can see, but the pump and compressor are still hanging on. Am I going to have to stand on my head and reach and my knees to reach a bolt I can't see because of drivetrain or...

Well, I'm glad to see your note about the 96 axles/air locker and 9.5" ring. I really like the look of your bumpers and sliders as well. Since I bent one of my steps and my rear bumper/gas tank skid plate at Uwharrie they both appeal to me. I need to shed some of the weight I'm dragging and...

from new guy :sombrero: :victory: I love it. I'm SO GLAD I found this thread. I have the same Monty and am in need of some mods. AT last I have seen at least a Vendor name to get a part from!!!!!' Keep us updated...... Bearingman
