maintenance list for my 98

[jeep-N-montero]

Okay, so the 98 I bought needs a few things. In addition to needing a timing belt and water pump service I'm planning to do plugs and wires and all fluids, air filters, and tracking down a front end vibration. Anything I'm missing? I read that the plenum needs to come off to change the plugs/wires, a new gasket there would be in order.

And possibly a replacement plenum depending on the age of the butterfly valves and their condition... Never mind, You have a 98...

So I'm having a hard time finding the correct cabin air filter part number, is it the same as other Mitsubishi cars of the same vintage? And any suggestions on the timing belt kit as to who makes the best one?

The 98's came with a cabin air filter?

Yes, rock auto lists one but none of the local parts stores do.

Where is it located in the rig?

You should be able to find a P/N on the filter. Which is usually the glove box once you pull it out it should be right there. At least that is where most are located, other wise the dash would have to come out to replace it.

I'm pretty sure it is behind the glove box. I just had my glove box opened up past the stops this last weekend and pretty sure I spotted the filter.

Hmmm I don't believe my 96SR came with them so I wonder if I can upgrade the exisiting housing with a 98 unit so I can get the filter as well?

Let me check mine while the dash is out

So I just read your entire M3 recovery thread, simply amazing. I have rebuilt a few cars but nothing that extensive, very tedious but worth it in the end.
