My rockers are rusted through. Body shops are telling me the only reasonable way to repair them to last is with replacement body parts. I need MB 835514, 835513, 376780, 376779. One of the 4 is available, but obsolete for the rest. Here is my question: If the Montero is still sold & supported...

Just installed a new compressor & clutch from Rock Auto. There was no core. Is the old one scrap or worth holding on to? I called a rebuilder in Texas and they want $295 to rebuild it. I'm thinking it is heading to the recycle bin unless the stock compressor is worth rebuilding & holding for...

Just got my system charged up today after replacing my compressor. I was measuring the temp at one of the vents with an IR gun, and I was measuring temps in the mid 20's a few times. Is this normal? Should it be that cold? I know it sounds like a funny question but I don't think I've ever seen...

FYI.......during the work I am doing installing a new A/C compressor today I noticed that my drivers side driveshaft was leaking grease. Upon closer inspection I noticed both the inner and outer boots have deteriorated and cracked a lot. The inner boot is cracked all the way through and is...

On road trip, shifted out of 4LLC while moving, clanking noise, then no go anymore. 4 wheel shifter has limited movement, center diff still indicates locked position, but gear selector won't move truck in any gear......ideas?

My front top ball joints have grease zerks on them, but they do not have a pressure release nipple.......they are after market (Moogs I think). I think I may have over filled one. See photo. Opinions needed........

Anyone ever made the cargo area 12v plug hot all the time? Right now it's only hot with key on.

So I repaired the actuator on the drivers side a few years ago, but the problem came back. I'm wondering if the other side failed now. I'm not excited about tearing the door apart to figure out which side is to blame. Can the harness be unhooked somewhere to isolate LH vs RH?

Michigan doesn't have emissions testing, but I'm looking at relocating to a state that does. If I don't have any check engine lights on, and I know all systems are go, could I still have problems? My truck is from Cali originally so I have the 4 o2 sensors. Could I still fail an emissions test ?

I'm going all out on this attempt. I'm modifying the latch by removing the pivot rod and replacing it with stainless steel & loosening the tolerances a little bit. I'm sick of doing this every 3 years.

Rolled up to a situation where a guy overshot a driveway and put the nose of his Accord in a steep ditch. I stop to help, and he says "you sure you'll be able to pull me with that?". Yes. Yes I'm sure.

Dang it.......my wipers have taken on a mind of their own. I suppose working when you don't need them is better than not working when you do need them.

Info / photos available for Montero crash test, goes back to 1996.....interesting time killer. http://www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings

I've had the thing apart to clean and lubricate it like 3 times, each time trying different grease. Then it gets cold, and it starts sticking. Anyone have a reco for the best grease for it in a cold weather climate?

How many 1998 owners have experienced transmission sensor issues recently / ever? I've had zero transmission problems with mine, now at 215,000 miles. Only one transmission fluid change since dealer stopped maintenance after second owner. Mostly city driving, maybe 10-20 percent of those miles...

I'm hesitant to just pitch anything for the Monteros so I figured it would be better to check with the community first. I removed my stock running boards a few months ago to repair rust damage to the rockers. They aren't going back on (Rocky Roads are going to take their place). It is the only...

So my A/C didn't make it through spring. It was good for almost two years after my last system work which involved new seals everywhere except the compressor itself. I put the UV light on it today and sure enough the compressor was glowing like a crime scene. Can they be rebuilt or should I be...

Removed running boards, now I'm left with the holes from the plastic panels, what have people done to cover those?

When I am running fan on high, high beams on, rear defrost, and wipers, plus brake lights, at idle the system struggles and voltage drops. Voltage drop test on negative side tested fine, on positive side I had a problem so I added a new line from alternator to battery which corrected the voltage...

With the engine on and lights off, my compass is lit. Is this normal, and if it is, why on earth did Mitsu think it was important to have that be the one thing besides the clock and radio that is lit?
