For the sake of discussion, my thoughts on Hankook Dynapros are mixed. I've been running Dynapro ATs for the past 40k miles. They've taken me across the country twice and still have plenty of tread left. Many of those were hard miles through rain, mud, gravel and snow. I've had a very good...

+1 on the Ultra Gauge...takes the place of a bunch of separate gauges, is fairly inexpensive, and a cinch to install. Reads and clears trouble codes, calculates instantaneous mpg, and much more. Can't recommend it enough. Check it out -->Link

Biker, you probably know this, but I'll say it anyway...the LEDs are directional, did you reverse them in the sockets to see if they worked seated in the opposite direction? Also, I had to disassemble both of the light housings you pictured and sand the switch contacts so they would work...

The leather seats are pretty much all worn by this point. Its not often you see a Montero with pristine leather, especially the driver's seat. I doubt the factory still offers replacement leather...probably a job for an upholstery shop. That said there are a number of good seat cover options...

Good luck on the engine refresh, man. It's gonna be purring when you're done. Btw, how many miles did you have when you pulled the motor?

The 2000 Gen 2.5 has the the same drivetrain as the 1997-99 (3.5L SOHC, 4 spd auto, 4.2:1 rear axle) and same body style as 1998-99 (flared fender aka Gen 2.5). Only difference between 98/99 and 2000 is the latter was not offered from the factory with a rear locker. Locking rears from earlier...

Oops, for clarity, when I said I'm using Dexron 2, I should have said I'm using Dexron 2 compatible fluid, which is really Dexron VI, the latest and greatest incarnation of Dexron which has superseded previous versions since about 2006. Like Eric mentioned, Dexron VI is backwards compatible...

If your owners manual specs Dexron 2, and the shop's service manual specs Dexron 2, use Dexron 2. SP3 is a a higher spec fluid, and can be used in place of, or mixed with Dexron 2, in a vehicle spec'ed for Dexron 2. However, it's far more expensive and in your case, in a Gen 2.5, there's no...

If you don't know the history of the old ones, you might want to change your belts while everything is apart, too. NAPA 25-9365 Belt, Air Conditioner NAPA 25-050446 Belt, Fan/Alternator NAPA 25-040390 Belt, Fan/Power Steering Also, I'd recommend you have this gasket on hand...it's not an...

Great writeup! Now I just need to get a Gen 3 and a stereo to put in it.

The wire that feeds the vanity light is run from above the headliner into to the sunvisor via a channel in the metal sunvisor attachment bracket/pivot. This wire gets pinched and eventually cut from the movement of the sunvisor. Remove the sunvisor and splice in a new wire to complete the...

redraif, glad you're getting things squared away. If you didn't know already, the Montero Sport is also known as the Challenger and Nativa in other parts of the world. You might be able to pick up some additional info if you incorporate those search terms in your quest to find a lift. Good luck!

Does it actually keep the car cooler? Probably a little. How much is hard to say because most heat is transmitted into the cabin through the window glass on hot days. As far as surface temps, I do know that when the green paint on my car gets so hot in the So Cal sun that it can't be touched...

welcome to the fold, looks good!

Happy holidays all!

Nathan, you have to loosen the tensioner pulley first, and then adjust the tension. To loosen the pulley, unscrew the bolt in the center of the tensioner pulley in question so it is able to move. Then, set the belt tension by turning the adjustment screw. After the desired belt tension is set...

Fantastic! I'm really glad you have that Magnaflow connection. Any idea how long it generally takes for a converter to be approved by the state a ready for the buying public..are we months away...a year away?

Blackohio, I'm not understanding your original post. Are you saying you took your truck in to Magnaflow so they can prototype/develop a California legal converter? I hope that's what you're saying...that would be great!

redraif, welcome. I'd suggest you head over to the Monterosportonline forum here ---->link There's a lot of Sport specific knowledge there. Good luck!
