    1999 w 206k miles

    I would never use my Montero as a daily driver. It’s too old for that. I’d drive it across the country on vacation though without question. All my miles are for fun now, or light work....I’m never going to rack up commuter miles with it. Buy it. Make sure timing belt job is current, drive it...

    Trans dipstick level

    Here is where my level is at, sitting cold. Been this way for several years since my last fluid change. Zero transmission problems. It is higher than all the marks on the stick. 225k on original transmission. In fact just got done pulling a 3500lb camper 600 miles.

    What did you do to your Mitsubishi today?

    I waited until I had 225,000 miles then decided to tow a 3500 lb camper around for a few days. So far so good.

    Transmission Temp Gauge Add-On, Gen 2.5

    Anyone have any experience adding a trans temp gauge? I’m towing for the first time and already set off the A/T light once, I’d like an actual temp gauge so I can see better what’s going on. I’m thinking something simple like even a meat thermometer probe with an insulated tape wrap around one...

    Battery Questions

    If you’ll be using the battery frequently without the vehicle running, and draining battery, you’d want a deep cycle battery that can tolerate being discharged to a lower voltage. Standard batteries (12v automotive) don’t like to be run down, it will shorten their life a lot if they are...

    Battery Questions

    The only reason you would need a bigger battery would be if you intend to run your accessories with the truck not running.....otherwise your 200 amp alternator should be covering your power needs with engine on using the standard battery.....imo

    Midwest Rust Blues

    Also, the fittings are made by a company named SUR&R, and the nylon to nylon fittings are made by Dorman. I got both at my local auto parts shop. Both though are of course available on Amazon. I converted my return line to 5/16 at the pump so that everything was the same size hardware, but I...

    Midwest Rust Blues

    See: “What did you do to your Mitsubishi today” thread, my post #620 you’ll see the photo. Steel to nylon compression fitting, then yes all nylon forward to just below engine bay where again I have nylon to steel compression to change back to steel.

    Midwest Rust Blues

    This is my first time using them so I don’t know what a regular one even means. Are you talking about the ones on the filter?

    4x4 transfer case removal Gen 2.5

    Quick question, can the 4x4 transfer case be removed by itself, or does the rest of the transmission need to come down with it? I’ve got a fluid leak that’s getting worse and I’m eventually going to need to deal with it.

    Midwest Rust Blues

    All done! Glad to say goodbye to rusty fuel lines. Now I can change a fuel filter in about 2 minutes instead of an hour. Anybody else using these quick connects? If you are joining nylon to nylon you don’t even need compression fittings anymore. Just cut the nylon clean and press it in. They are...

    Pajero Rear Door Weight Limit?

    I’ve replaced mine once, with salvage units, and have been lubricating them ever since with no new issues. I think if you keep oil on them they keep going.

    Pajero Rear Door Weight Limit?

    The hinges seem huge and overbuilt, but for me the problem is opening and closing the door with a heavy load on it. It gets weird even with a few bikes on it. I got hit in the back once when the door started moving silently on a very slight slope. Wasn’t cool. I think that’s the bigger risk...

    Midwest Rust Blues

    Here’s the new setup with aftermarket WIX filter and Dorman quick disconnects. I now have nylon from the fuel pump all the way to where the steel lines come down from the engine bay under the truck. They weren’t rusty up there so I kept the steel in the engine bay. The filter bracket is being...
