How can ground #12 be a good ground? The only solid metal connection to the body of the truck is via the door hinge. Does that seem like it is a reliable ground? As far as I can tell from the circuit diagram, there are no ground wires in the harness that goes into the door (for the RH stop...

I’ve posted about this before but I see some spare time in the upcoming winter to tackle this problem.....now I’m pretty buttoned up in the electrical dept. on my Montero. I’ve cleaned most of my grounding locations at least once or twice over the past few years. Positives same story....but at...

I just wanted to double check myself here. If I’m working on just one brake and I disconnect the line to the caliper and the fluid leaks out to the point that the master cylinder reservoir is empty, I don’t need to re-bleed all 4 circuits do I? This happened recently and I only bled the one...

Looking for pics of where people have securely mounted fire extinguishers in their rigs. Gen 2 or 2.5 only please! Thanks.

I’d like to see a few pics of how people are securing gear in the back of truck. I carry a shovel, my 2” ball insert, a short piece of pipe for more leverage on lugnuts, a 10” subwoofer and a mini air compressor. I’ve got kids in the car now so I’m rethinking how these heavy items are tied down...

Can anyone throw up the location & count of airbags in the Gen-3? Thanks!

I’m thinking about editing the FSM to make keyword searching for at least page numbers and chapter titles possible. Anyone else see value in this?

Does anybody out west have a donor vehicle with good rockers but otherwise dead, who would be willing to properly cut them off and ship to Michigan? Mine are toast....I finally need to deal with this problem. I’ll make it worth your effort if anyone is interested. Thanks!

Does anyone have a confirmed part # & brand for replacement bump stops? Mitsu has a few left in stock but they want $40 ea..........and most parts stores don't list dimensions, other than occasionally the overall height. Searching the Specialty Tools & Parts sticky yielded no results......same...

What are people using for this sealant? Googling 3M 8663 returns nothing related to automotive.......

Hello, I'm in the process of replacing my front drivers side driveshaft. The shaft will not release from the differential. I started out pulling gently, then progressively harder and harder. I removed the inner boot and outer portion of the shaft to get it out of the way. I'm now left with just...

FSM, 70-5, Grounding Location #12, where the heck is that?? I know #11, that is where the bottle jack is located. Anyone know where #12 is?

I was playing in the snow a little tonight which turned into an ABS function test. I'm wondering if anyone can confirm this as normal. 1. My ABS only kicks on for about 3-4 seconds then cuts out. The highest speed I tested it at was 35 mph and it cut out well before I was anywhere near stopped...

Ok here goes. I am trying to repair the float in my brake master cylinder reservoir. At first I wasn't very hopeful but I have since changed my mind. The function is a simple magnet embedded into the bottom of the float. You never can see it unless you take it apart. The sensor must be embedded...

Check out "Chapman's Offroad Racing" on Facebook.....they are rallying two Monteros. They just posted some racing video with a nice segment of in-car footage from their Gen-2 Montero.

I’m replacing a bulb in the cluster and there are several unused sockets. Shining a light through them I notice a Maintenance Required socket, no bulb. Should I have a bulb in there? I never remember seeing that one lit, even at key-on no start when they all light up.

My brake light came on recently and I traced it to the float in the reservoir. It appeared to be getting hung up a bit. I moved it up and down about 20 times and that fixed it for a few days. Light came on again this morning. Other than replacing the whole assembly, are there any tricks possible...

Anyone ever wonder why Mitsu decided that when sitting with the lights off and engine on, that the compass must stay lit up? Every time I'm in that situation I look at it and i cannot come up with a good reason......must be a Japanese engineering thing.

Went to hit my high beams tonight and the lever wouldn't "click" into the high beam position. It is stuck on low beam. Can the module be serviced?

You think you have rust? West Coast.......be glad this isn't what you see when you crawl under your truck.
