Yah, I like the old school wrenches, especially when dealing with rusty threads. Over the year some welded in nuts rusted up and easy enough to feel the warning and run a tap through to clean stuff up. Once clean I either use an antiseize or Locktight to preserve the threads. I almost welded...

Frustrated outdoors today trying to clear snow up, something is buggered up in the carb on my Gen 1 I plow with, I was finally able to limp it idling in low reverse into the garage. It is supposed to be above freezing tomorrow so I will F with it then. But back to my Pajero, will I be mounting...

Another task mostly done, I F'ed up the original AC condenser when I first installed the engine-trans last October, the transmission bound up resulting in crank balancer getting into the condenser core. A new condenser from Japan is stupid money for my needs. So I started comparing the condenser...

That and my better Bridgport might be my last big tools I let go. That sander has two 18" discs that are 7/8 thick. massive flywheels.

More info about the mounts, these cushions are mid '94 till late 99 on both 3.0 and 3.5 Monteros, these incorporate roll stoppers where the early mounts do not, hence why these are long. I made a spacer for each side, started with a quick sharpy scribe Drilled the holes and rough cut...

The mounts are all 95 SR parts. Frame brackets are hand made allowing the engine to sit lower and positioned fore aft with the Gen3 rear mount and G3 trans & Tcase. Engine brackets, originally the left side was original dimension and right had been narrowed, I am also utilizing an alloy Gen3 oil...

Today I welded the brackets together and re-installed the new configuration of mounts, I had utilized a 3/8 spacer to the axle housing. Tightened everything up and, well I cannot fit a 1/8 spacer between the sump and housing. Oh well, I did not expect the mounts to settle that much. At this...

Something to show, both side engine brackets needed to be cut apart as well as the left side mount pad on the frame required it's angle to be changed since I did not get that right. I cut the left pad free a week ago and bent folded and mutilated it till the angle was correct. Well, no it was...

I think that is how my Diamante Wagon alarm worked, hazards and blatting out, or call it did not work at times since I never knew it had an alarm till I was a mile across a lake paddling a canoe and I learned the real irritation over at the launch was my car.

Oh boy, I get to take a step or two backwards, I can not get an image of what I am up against yet but here I go. Main task recently has been to get the driveline settled into place, proper hardware with preservatives or locktite as needed for the future. Weeks ago I started to run fasteners...

No, the alarm will.

Normal for the CD changer to cycle Hazards, that might be the alarm going off. Not having the system would the headlights flash as well or just the hazards?

Alarm is a good possibility, best I can tell my 95SR has no alarm but my Diamante alarm used to turn on at will, like park in the sun and lock it up it would go off.

Right on the battery you have a few wires coming off. Have you disconnected the ABS feed? For a test if you have not done so, I would disconnect each circuit leaving just one on and check the draw. In the fuse box right next to that, the bolt in fuses can also be isolated to check for a draw.

I think you are correct, these ECUs do not draw that amount, I found C4 Corvettes draw around that but I last worked on that problem 35 years back.

That 700ma draw is generally keep alive power for the ECU and other modules in the vehicle. Has this battery been draining since purchased and do you have another battery to swap in and see if the problem follows the battery. Not everything that is new is guaranteed to be good. Which is why we...

Made good progress today for getting decent clearance in a few key locations. I needed spacers to raise the transmission at it's mount, first thought was a bar of aluminum, then a few 1/2 thick round 2" bar stock, humm $30 and waiting for them, well scroung in the scrap under the milling...

Not being much of a hammer mechanic I neglect the simple things at time. Rain just arrived but I will try a tap or two on the tank and see if the shockwave makes itself known. That pump is only a few years old but I have not driven this much in the past year, that is never a good thing.

Three weeks ago driving my SR back in, as I came up the hill in front of the house I was hearing a low grade ruckus in the back of the vehicle and the engine stumbled, farted and stalled. Today I got a chance to check, I have power at the fuel pump but it no workie. No humm, no spit fuel. The...

Most all aspects of design are done digitally now. I am building an airplane, my own design and not my first. But it is my first fully digitally designed. Even at my level I have allot less mockup to do. I have also digitized the Lycoming engine and have it in a swing out mount so the rear...
