Hi there. Engine has never overheated. I disconnected the heater core because I found some residue I believed to be coolant in the dash.

Hi y'all, I am writing to share my listing for my beloved 1998 Montero. 157,985 miles Clean title "cold weather package" including rear locker Car has been maintained by Fuji Autos in Pasadena, CA Front and rear differential service at Hooper's Rear Ends in Sun Valley, CA New Bilstein 4600...

I should have been more specific, the noise only occurs over 50mph while under throttle, which led me to think it was dif related.
