It’s about the same as fb market place or how Craigslist used to be. Since cl started charging $5 for vehicle postings I’ve noticed people using OfferUp and fbm more for inexpensive vehicles.

Just saw a nice 2.5 on OfferUp in SoCal. 6k asking price, looks worth it. Pm me your phone # and I’ll forward the link. No affiliation.

View from my kitchen sink: 1995 5-speed ls 1996 sr, in the process of saving 1994 ls, automatic parts truck

My brother got the housing off without getting the bolt unstuck... I don’t know how. So far it looks like the threads are not stripped, but worst case I have to helicoil it. Parts truck housing is wrong. New parts ordered. Also, aluminum powder in the cooling system and on timing belt. The...

Thank you, this is great. Just used it to identify and order the correct housing and gaskets. I'm sure I'll use it a ton going forward with this project.

Thanks guys. I was able to get the housing off of my parts truck easily and it looks like it will work. Won’t know for sure until I get the part off of my sr. the bolt goes through the housing and threads into a piece on the lower intake manifold. The bolt is broken off and seized in the...

downloading the service manual now. for those who don't know: http://www.mitsubishilinks.com/ diagram on page 499. I'm not seeing part numbers for the thermostat housing though

Looks like I can get another thermostat housing (part # md302949 ?). I have a 1995 montero ls parts car available to me. I'll check tomorrow to see if they appear interchangeable. Does the intake manifold have to come off to get at the part?

Seized bolt broke when I tried to take out the thermostat. Pics attached. Is the thermostat housing replaceable? How big of a job am I looking at? Will it be easier to remove the radiators/grill and drill out the bolt? How f$&$ed am I?

Beauty. Thanks for the updates.

What’s the verdict? Still resonating? Less wind noise?

Wow that thing is beautiful. Absolutely worth saving. Where is it located? I know of a totally destroyed parts truck with a good engine in SoCal

Very nice! Def keep us updated. What year? How many miles?

Yes super interested!

Sneak peek

Cool! You live is San Diego and pick it up up north? Or other way around? I’m in Fallbrook (north SD county) with Barbie Car

Confirmed! steering boxes from a parts truck and from mine side by side, mine has MUCH more resistance when turning the shaft at the center of the range ( going straight). the parts truck box Input shaft is easily turned with finger and thumb throughout it’s range. I hope to have it all back...

Yes. This is where I messed up. Overtightened. It won’t back out. My mechanic got it to back out a little but it’s still does not return to center. Swapping in a used box tomorrow. We’ll see. New: ball joints, wheel bearings, idler arm. All tie rods are tight according to the alignment shop.

Passing smog is always brutal here! Did you use oem or aftermarket cats? For a little while I thought I might need new cats for my 95, and the oem was like $6-700 each! If there is an aftermarket available I’d be happy to know about it
