    AC stopping at idle on 02 Monty.

    Hey guys its been awhile but I figured this is the place to turn. My AC has been acting wonky lately it blows hot at lights or idling. I found yesterday after idling for a while that the compressor would kick on and shut off immediately and that the electric fan wasnt working. The fan was...

    Could you post up a better picture? I cant see the measurements clearly. I might be able to have some made out of some aluminum billet and are they the same front and rear?

    k2500 questions.

    Thanks for the info. Thats exactly the kind of info I was looking for. As for the suspension lift that was kind of where my thoughts were as to the ride but I wasnt sure. Ive actually dont the coil lift on smaller rigs so assumed it would be similar since youre not actually changing the spring...

    Lifting on a budget.

    265/75/16s fit just fine on the fullsize montero. I was running 285s but they were cheap tires and didnt last. I went with GY wranglers this time. Mucho better.

    Gen 3 Introduction

    All right I checked the Sierra Expeditions website, and couldnt find anything but snorkles for the 3rd Gen Montero. Are they just coils that you guys are buying? If so what are the part numbers.

    Gen 3 factory rear diff.

    This^^^^^ That is why I put locker in quotation marks. I understand it isnt a real locker as commonly defined, but I have heard someone call it a "locker". That was my guess.

    Gen 3 factory rear diff.

    I believe the only "locker" is in the tranfer case not the axles. R&P would be ring & pinion, as in what the differential uses to transfer power from the driveshaft to the axle.

    Looking for a new Expedition vehicle and can't decide, Help :)

    I have a 3rd Gen Montero Limited that I wouldnt part with for the world. Room in a mid size SUV was one of the biggest factors when we bought it. I didnt want a Tahoe or Suburban sized vehicle as I have a 2500HD crew cab with a cap and didnt need to duplicate it. We looked at FJs briefly...
