My '01 also is doing this, possibly because of a new intake and the MAF going crazy. No engine icon and no other issues while running. When I get a code reader I will check it out but I haven't been worried. No issues from it at all, even when I push it to 6k rpm. It is also probably a check...

If you have not yet checked the bearings, then lift up each end and see if you can get the wheels to rock back and forth on the bearing. They should not move at all if they are in good shape. I had to replace both front bearings on my '01 at around 100k miles. Otherwise it may be the steering...

The Montero Sport (US) is usually known as a Mitsubishi Challenger in other countries. Why they changed the name in the US and created all this confusion is beyond me. The other reason is that Mitsubishi does not have a strong track record for quality in the US. Many cars were jointly...

I read this and although I have not driven along a river, I felt the same sense of durability and traction when using completely washed out logging roads in the southeast. I had a trailer carrying a bushhog and other tractor implements while traversing calf deep mud with deep ruts because the...

Thanks for all of the advice. To help Jkam with more of an idea of my personal use. I would most likely spend all of my time on pavement with minimal offroad. Scott's video definately makes me feel confident in the performance of the bike. And cost is a large factor. From my signature you...

I am new to motorcycles, but not to offroading. I currently have a Montero, but it isn't the best on gas or for transporting just me. I started looking at adventure bikes because I like the idea of traveling to the mountains for a day or two and being able to explore an interesting dirt path...

My 3rd Gen is over 160K. Driven almost everyday since 2006. Here is a thread of someone looking at 2.5 and 3 monteros. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/89281-Soooo-I-m-thinkin-hard-about-a-montero-purchase

This is a company in California who buys JDM engines and sells them. Might be able to help. The 4G63 was used in Eagle Talons (Chrysler), Lancers, Evolutions, and some Eclipses. Almost all of Mitsubishi's 4 cylinder engines were some form of the 4G Sirius engine...

I used this ATF when I did mine in September. http://compare.ebay.com/like/130693649000?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar I used this write up. http://www2.pajeroclub.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=15879 The fluid is red and you just keep flushing the fluid (put in nuetral, drain old...

The 3rd Gen Montero has only been known to have problems with using incorrect transmission fluid in the automatic transmission. It has to be Mitsubishi Sp-III ATF. Anything else has the wrong density/viscosity and can damage the torque converter if left alone. A local shop used regular ATF in...

Ok. They added the 5-speed to both models in 2003. It gets better mileage with the 5-speed, and the 3.8L is a little more power than my 3.5L. The 2003 model also got better reliability out of the electronics. Only thing to make sure is that you ALWAYS use SP-III ATF fluid in the...

I have a 2001 XLS with the 4 speed. It sounds like that is the Limited model, and the earlier years had leather and sunroofs as options IIRC. I have had mine for about 7 years and love driving it. I also have a thread with the aftermarket parts sources for the Gen III's...

I updated the thread with more links. Let me know if there are any more that you guys know of.

I will be doing this with my 2001 XLS Montero over the holiday. The best thing to help with the storage and mounting that I have seen are the Quik Fist mounting brackets. I picked up a set from Amazon and will be installing some over the holiday. I can put pics up as I go along...

Here is another that I found from RichardT. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/74684-RichardT-s-95-Montero-SR-Build-Thread

It seems to be reliant on the model and year. Others could be wholesale buys or salvage parts. Which montero are you looking for?

I am going to use this thread to post up any parts dealers I find for the Monteros/Pajeros. Please post any OEM or aftermarket parts sources you have used and your experience with them. This way new users, or those who are having trouble finding a part can have a one stop list for parts and...

Here are some pics from the first mountain trip for my Gen 3 Montero. It was mostly a hiking trip but there were several good trail roads with good views. This is Linville Gorge, NC. Everything is stock except for an intake kit from Weapon-R.
