No idea what the fix is, but my 2003 does it too. Generally when slowing down (not sure about a corner). My wife mostly drives the car and said it does it about once every few months. Grinding noise lasts for a few seconds and then stops. I have only heard it once over the past 2 years, but...

It looks like my o2 sensor readings are swinging up to 8-10% either way depending on throttle activity, with occasional peaks of 15%. I can't make out the numbers your sensors were ranging in the graphs you posted. Can you clarify? Also I'm not sure the LTFT of 12. 5 is bad. It goes to this...

Thanks. I set up torque like you did, seems. Much better to look at o2 readings. So the long term fuel trims should be 14.7 at idle? Edit: reading more, LTFT should be closer to 0 correct?

On my 2003 I have got a few o2 sensor codes that pop up. The first one was about a year ago, cleared the code and never saw anything else. On a recent trip the check engine light came on coming and going, both in full throttle long hill climbs. When the check engine light came on the traction...

Loose the spacers up front for sure. ASAP. I'd be amazed if you have any down travel in the suspension. Have you had an alignment done? Probably be a much better rig over all if you kept the tires at 33in or below like said above. Smaller tires and a proper lift and you just solved all your...

Looks really good! If you get tired of it let me know!

Yeah.... I generally keep the 35in tires on the f250 at 50 psi and it rides great. When I switched shocks it was night and day. Very happy with the shocks. I have an OME suspension on my montero and although overall much much smoother (obviously), unless I keep the tires below 25 psi the...

It's all in the shocks. I put bilstein 5100s on my f250 and it's amazingly smooth on wash board roads.

Thanks. I ordered inner and outer for both side so I'll get it all freshened up. I looked at Mitsubishi parts warehouse and the parts diagram did not show any washers. Do you have a link or part number? Thanks

I had the montero in for an alignment and they said the "inner" tie rod is loose. Im assuming this means the tie rod that attaches to the rack and pinion. Has anyone replaced this part, looking at the FSM I think the whole rack and pinion needs to be removed. Can anyone confirm this. Timing...

Many local parts houses don't list stuff for montero. However, I have had a lot of success using rock auto to find a part number and then using that to locate the part locally. It's worked several times, the last being a serpentine pully that went out. Found the part number on rock auto and Napa...

I have a 3.8 so not sure how a 3.5 compares, however all my driving is in the Rocky mountains and at elevation. I find driving the montero around town and under 60mph you never notice a lack of power. On the highway it's fine and does everything you need of it but you will notice the lack of...

Thanks for the suggestions ill look into those.

Thanks guys. The drone reference is about right on. I find it tiring after a while. For such a nice vehicle that noise gets old real fast. Anyone else running BFG KO2s that can comment? Id hate to spend the money, with nothing better in the end.

On my gen 3 I have been running Cooper ATP tires for about 15k. I've really liked the tires performace, but they have a constant hum that is getting old. I am considering getting something else that has less road noise. I think the unibody construction may contribute more to road noise so I...

Another great day in the Montero, above central city, colorado. Really enjoying the OME Lift! Im having lots of road noise from he AT3 tires. I have really liked how the tires perform, but man they are loud. Noise changes widely with different road surfaces. It seems they are...

Nice looking rig. I dont know about price, but I'd ask $6-6500.

How was the install for the tcase? Do all the functions work like oem (shift on the fly etc)?

Toasty, Do you know anyone who has run these gears here in US gen 3s? I have looked into the gears and it seems there was some confusion if they could be run us US monteros. I think that would be an awesome upgrade. Id actually consider doing that before diff gears.

I am planning on adding an ARB to the rear of my gen 3 this winter. I'd love to go 4.9s and 33's. Is getting used diffs the way to go or is anyone buying new RP gears and installing them? For the front I'd be ok with used but in the rear I'd hate to buy some junk that fails...... I'm still of...
