    Aftermarket Catalytic Converter(s) for '02 Montero

    Maybe swap the sensors from one bank to the other and see if the problem follows.

    Aftermarket Catalytic Converter(s) for '02 Montero

    What sucks is the cats are so hard to take on and off it makes diagnosing problems difficult.

    Aftermarket Catalytic Converter(s) for '02 Montero

    I know you are asking about Gen 3 but a cat is a cat. Original cats on my Gen 2.5, 225k. My truck came from Cali so I have 3 cats as well but only the upstream cats are sensored. Clean running well maintained motors extend the cat life. I have started to get an occasional P0421 / P0420 in the...

    Midwest Rust Blues

    Frame is solid....... I’m keeping the original bracket, I’ll blast it and paint it. It looks rough but it still has life left in it. The new filter diameter is a little smaller so I cut a piece of cooling hose to tighten it up.

    Midwest Rust Blues

    Well I finally decided to finish replacing my rusted fuel lines. A couple years ago I switched over to nylon line from the fuel pump forward about two feet then kept the steel the rest of the way forward. It was finally starting to get very questionable. Check out my old fuel filter...

    Dual Battery Location

    I have heard of air getting into ABS pumps due to improper brake servicing, and that in those situations the ABS pump must be jogged during bleeding to eliminate the air, or a good power bleeder can possibly clear the air. I know of factory service procedures and scan tool functions that address...

    Dual Battery Location

    Under normal driving conditions, ABS is hard / impossible to beat during emergency braking. I don’t know why so many people knock it. It was a huge step forward in safety when it came out. When on gravel, some snow conditions or full off-road I’ve heard of situations where it isn’t so great, but...

    Gen 2.5, Leave Lights On, No Key In Ignition, Buzzer?

    What if you keep the door shut, keys out, headlights on. Does that generate a buzzer?

    Gen 2.5, Leave Lights On, No Key In Ignition, Buzzer?

    Can someone please confirm for me, if you turn the headlights on without key in ignition, does a buzzer go off? I know we have a buzzer if you open the door with the keys still in ignition, but what about a reminder for leaving lights on?

    7 Pin Trailer Light / Power

    I’m borrowing a wireless unit so no brake controller needed. Thanks for the reply, this confirmed what my thoughts were. I’m doing a 12ga with a 20a fuse at the battery. This is a one time rental so the power wire running back to the rear will be zip tied temporary style.

    7 Pin Trailer Light / Power

    Can someone confirm please that it is possible to install a 7 pin trailer light controller on the Gen 2.5? I have a 4 pin but I know nothing about 7 pin kits. I am looking at pulling a small camper that needs brake power. Thanks.

    Also, 20 psi seems to be sufficient?

    A Cheap and Cheerful Build - Geoff

    Um, this is BRILLIANT man! This needs to get some likes. I’m in the same boat, although I have 3 cars I tend to and one does track time every so often and I hate bleeding brakes with pump-bleed-close-pump again.

    What did you do to your Mitsubishi today?

    I’m talking amperage......you need a clamp style DC amp meter to run the current test.

    What did you do to your Mitsubishi today?

    The FSM has a very good diagnostic procedure for testing alt output but you need a DC current meter to run the test. Also have you considered a bad battery as a possibility? Also, try running a volt meter on the cig lighter to double check your dash meter while underway. What other symptoms do...

    Montero gen II.5 - what to check when buying?

    Rust is never preferable to no rust, but my truck has more than most and it hasn’t stopped me from being serviceable, capable and road worthy. It’s mostly cosmetic. Never has it stopped me from properly repairing anything. Even the lighter gauge support brackets are overbuilt and while they look...
