    Best Snorkel??

    Most of us will never attempt to drive through water deep enough to need a snorkel. They are mostly eye candy unless you live in a 3rd world country with horrible roads and lots of river crossings. I personally would never do it with my 20+ year old truck that I rely on. I’ll stick with driving...

    My Gen 2.5 Journey, a build thread.

    Someone please get this guy a gas fill door! Nice pics. I’ll bet you didn’t break the truck.

    Weird 2nd gen coolant leak and question about front axle shaft

    I’ve got grief from others here before for this, but all I’d do with those vacuum lines is snip the end off a few mm and push it back on. That’s what I did years ago and everything is fine, original lines (1998 so 20+ years old). I doubt you’ll have a hole in the middle of the hose, it’s...

    Gen 3 Throttle Idle Issue

    If you are going that deep you should replace the seals where the injector fits into the manifold. Those are a prime candidate for unmetered air leaking into cylinders.

    I wonder if routine brake fluid flushes extend the operational life of that system?

    Toasty's '98 Montero Build

    Custom management sounds interesting......this means a completely new, aftermarket ECU that would need to be configured from the ground up, right?

    Weird 2nd gen coolant leak and question about front axle shaft

    The front photo appears to be your vacuum accumulator for your super select 4x4 clutch on the front axle. Not sure about the other thing.

    Weird 2nd gen coolant leak and question about front axle shaft

    NAPA. Cut to match the old stuff. Keep the Mitsu hose clamps.

    Anyone done Gen 2.5 rear wheel bearings?

    220k and never done em. Haven’t done my fronts though either. Interesting topic, I hope people chime in. I think rears last longer since they aren’t subjected to the same forces as turning wheels are.

    Weird 2nd gen coolant leak and question about front axle shaft

    Motor wouldn’t need to be pulled but you would need to remove the intake plenum down to the manifold. There is a coolant hose at the back of the engine that is probably the source of your leak. put some UV dye in your system and drive it for a day or two then park it in a dark garage and zero...

    Are all O2 sensors created equal???

    Don’t go cheap on o2 sensors. They are critical to fuel mixture management and performance overall.

    Fuel Trim Tech, 6G74, Simulated Manifold Leak, Lean Condition

    What I did in the video did not trigger a CEL. I don't think you would get a CEL unless the trims were excessive (I think they max out at + / - 25%) If everything is operating to spec (fuel pressure, injectors, MAF reading correctly, o2 sensors are good and all seals and gaskets are keeping air...

    Fuel Trim Tech, 6G74, Simulated Manifold Leak, Lean Condition

    The link should work this time. I tried to post this earlier and the video wouldn't work. Anyway this topic comes up from time to time and I thought it would be helpful for people to see how the engine control system responds to an air leak in real time. In this video you will see that when...

    GEN1 Front wheels locking up

    If it’s wheel bearings and they are that bad they will produce heat. You should be able to feel it with the back of your hand or measure it with an IR thermometer (the disc won’t get hot but the bearing housing / hub will). It would be odd to me if both front calipers were dragging at the same...
