    Gen 2.5 Cannot disengage 4WD

    As far as I know it’s the same super select system on both trucks. Looks like this time you will need to do some hands on troubleshooting. There is a ton of existing info on this if you google it. You probably have some loose vacuum hoses or a failing solenoid valve. A couple years ago I went...

    Using a lower amp alternator in 2.5 Montero

    It would work to drive the truck, but I’d bet you’ll have problems when driving at night, running wipers, fan and defrost, radio, etc.....

    Buying help! 2000 Montero 95,000 miles

    Seems on the high end for the age but not ridiculous. But again, as others have said, it may be in great shape in which case you might be alright. I put $4-5k into mine over the years to keep it in shape so $5k would be about my limit. Take your time scoping it out! These are great trucks that...

    Securing basic gear in the back

    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...

    PSA: Fix your brakes before they break!

    I would never buy anything critical that was safety related off eBay. Buy from an established brick and mortar parts source or Mitsu dealer.

    Gen 3 boiling gas??

    I think this is related, I’m close to sea level and every now and then I experience a mystery sound right after startup, best I can describe it as is a whooshing, stirring air like sound coming from the gas tank. It only lasts about 5-10 seconds max. I’ve posted on it before. I’ll bet this is...

    Blower motor issues montero gen 3 limited.

    What does the fan do when you give it 12v? Also hook up a volt meter to the fan motor connector on the resistor and check for stability as you flip through the fan speeds, make up some alligator clip extension leads so you can mess with it at least on the seat or floor that’s where I’d start...

    What did you do to your Mitsubishi today?

    Painted the underbody. 5 rattle cans of gloss black. Touched almost every little bracket & any light rust. Welds got Chassis Saver (por-15?). Basically spent the whole weekend laying under my truck.

    white ball transfer case lever

    I actually coughed up the cash and bought one new from Mitsu when I had my blowout experience 2yrs ago. It was red. It’s brand new though....or at least had been sitting in a warehouse since the late 90’s. I’m hoping my truck rusts out before I need to replace it.....wait.....it’s already...

    Diagnosing and Fixing a 2002 Montero 3.5L V6 SOHC that might be seized up

    EDIT: just realized you have a Gen-3.....so not sure what applies here. Good luck anyway. I didn’t do anything to tranny when I pulled mine. Maybe when you put it back in you might have a jack on tranny for alignment but it supports itself if I recall. There were a couple of the bell housing...

    Gen 2.5 Rocker Panels wanted

    I've thought about it.......but I'd lose the nice transitions in the door frame. The rockers include the entire door frame transition. I bought myself some time with this repair, probably a year or two. I did what all the forums said NOT to do.......I filled them full of Great Stuff foam before...
