For all of you following my story, I thank you for your advice and help. It came out to be (drum roll please)................................................................................. A Stuck Lifter!!! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, all that noise came from a lifter! the car is now running...

I should have something by the end of this week.

I am in Utah Valley, Utah

Swift_45a, I would love to do a rebuild, but I've never done a full one before. I did a top end rebuild on a Volvo S40 5 years ago and its not something I like to remember. It took me 6 months to do it and when I put everything back together, it never ran correctly again, so it scares me to have...

Thank you all for your replies. I will work on it this week, and keep you posted. I have also found a motor for about $1500 with 112k miles on it. So if it comes out to that, I kinda have it covered, though It will suck to pay for freight. So I do hope is one of the simple fixes mentioned...

With all due respect Swift_45a. It sounds like you didn't read the comments above with the exception of my initial comment. I have service records from the previous owner, stamped by a competent local shop who did all of the maintenance religiously on this vehicle since new in 2005, 3,567 miles...

Thanks for all of the information. its a 3rd gen monty with the 3.8 v6. I will check the things you mentioned in the morning, and let you know. The engine still runs, it drove me about a mile from when it started the commotion. Oil is filled, and as a matter of fact, it was just changed last...

Very frustrated right now. I haven't even had the car for a month. Driving down the highway at 75mph today, the car had a sudden loss of power, and service engine soon light came on. Drove 1 mile home from where I was, total loss of power, loud knocking noise from the engine. What could it be...

Thanks for the info plh. Good to know on the tranny. Those old jet pumpers lack a lot of power, might as well keep the gasser, but it gives me an idea of where I stand (money-wise) on the CRDs engines.

That's interesting, do you know how I can contact this person?

Plh, Thanks for the offer, any idea how much these can cost? I will let you know, once I'm done researching my options, my main question is on the tranny, would I have to buy a new one? Or can I use my existing tranny? Unfortunately no one has replied to my questions yet. Maybe I might be in he...

Alright, I know this is a debated topic. But I prefer diesel. There you go, I said it. I finally have the car I've waited to have for years (3rd Gen Montero). Long story short, I went to visit family members in the Dominican Republic back in 2006, and my uncle (wealthy guy) had (as he put it) a...

Thank you! I am very excited for this vehicle. Will take it for a trip soon. Just gotta get it ready. Cheers,

Bought this about a week ago: I've been wanting a Montero for a loooong time. And I finally have it. Needs a few things fixed, like the radio doesn't work or the DVD player. Everything else works flawlessly. Now, question: would 265/70r17 fit on this things without a lift and no rubbing...

Thank you for your replies and sorry for the late reply to you. the last owner was the original owner, the only thing that was done was the transmission. it was replaced at 180,000 thousand miles. no more problems. Apparently he said it had a overheating problem but I've been driving it for 2...
