I don't, i just make this stuff up as i go. My science is that i overheated my brakes once on a scary decent so i just kept doing every brake improvement possible as well as extra extra low gears to not need brakes as much in those situations. I do use carbon fiber pads which seemingly do really...

I'd like to add that if you don't have heavy truck experience i really wouldn't recommend taking one anywhere remote without first being able to service and recover the thing yourself. People often forget how much heavier everything is on these trucks, you can't break the lugnuts free without an...

This has been asked of me several times considering the pad size is the same, you probably wouldn't notice with little stock sized tires but having a bigger diameter rotor definitely helps stopping force (think of it as a larger lever for your brakes). As for the fade the bigger brakes have much...

So, The tripod doesn't get weaker with angle like the Rzeppa does but they are smaller than the CV's that come stock on the Montero. With our stock CV's the internals actually start to come out of it's bell (outer cup) at full angle, when they're inside their cup they're really strong. If you...

Nope, they use a plunging Rzeppa. MMC didn't cheap out on these things, that's how we can run 37's on stock axles and crawl rocks with minimal issues outside accelerated wear. If you have 95mm joints I wouldn't exceed 35's though.

Your CV's are way stronger than the others you mention, if you have OEM units still they're at least NTN 95s or possibly NTN 100's since yours was a manual. 6 bearing Birfs inner and outer, none of that tripod garbage.

At least you caught it before reassembly. (y)

Is that a new bearing? looks worn. As for the PS pump you just need the bracket and water pump pulley from the 2.4 Pajero or Montero Sport and your pump (or a Gen 2 pump) will bolt into place. That's what i used for mine, i recall it was a readily available part. It's been a bunch of years but...

No experience other than short distances.

Damn! collision makes more sense. I'd start over on that one, Sports can be found dirt cheap with mechanical issues. If yours still runs great you've got a good donor, whats the deal on the other Sport you have? If you do decide to repair the wrecked one, graft a front frame from a Wagoneer...

So your steering is unique to the L200 trucks, the axle however is basically the same Mitsu 8" that most Monteros have. The beefier CV axles you can look into come from 94-98 Monteros with the 3.5 engine, they're also in all Gen 2 Manual transmission trucks if you were to find a donor. The CV's...

You'd want to take it apart and machine or grind the detent for neutral, the automatic T-cases don't have as a position. You'd be better off just having a disconnect installed on the rear shaft, they're super common these days and you're local motorhome dealer can point you in the right...

You can get anything these days. Enjoy.

That's an odd transmission for '94, was it originally for the Puerto Rican market? It'll handle the power fine, that transmission is hydraulically controlled so all it wants is TV pressure (kickdown). Cruise on yours might be another oddball but if i had to guess it is vacuum operated and it...

The rest of that butterfly is either stuck in the valve in the head not allowing it to close or it made it through and bent the valve or damaged the valve seat. Either way it cost you a head.

I always wondered why the 4 cylinder trucks got an extra T-case mount but the V6 did not.

Let me know your thoughts on the mystery pump hanger assembly, the v8 has an in tank FPR and i may need to butcher an assembly. Debating getting a new one to experiment on.

Yeah, i don't know what issue you may be having. I think you're going to need to dig deeper in the transmission, no codes?

I paid 10k for my '05 at about the same mileage like 5 years ago, it's really hard to find nice trucks like that.

Damn, yeah. At that price you can get way better shocks and service with King. Gotta wait 6 months for them to build (Mine came in 2.5 months) but it'll be way worth it plus you can have them tuned and rebuilt if ever needed.
