    SONICMASD's 98 Montero LS Build & Adventure Thread: Black Betty

    Yes, yes and Yes! I normally leave mine on only for trips... but I do like the idea of just leaving it on.... I actually noticed a couple of holes from a recent trip where it was rubbing on the spare tire

    Another valve seal question -smog due

    With the plugs out, it should rotate pretty easily.... The compressed air puts the cylinder in bottom dead center. Then I fed the rope in and used a socket on the crank bolt to mash the rope into the bottom of the valves to keep them from falling into the cylinder. I did the job with the...

    Anyone monitoring air intake temps?

    something I read online indicated that every 10 degrees warmer you drop 1% in power 90 to 160 would be ~7% although...... if you do evacuate the heat from the engine compartment, then the air coming in the standard intake would be cooler... a win win win!

    Anyone monitoring air intake temps?

    While out today, the outside air temps didn't go much above 90. While driving down the highway (60+ mph) my air intakes were very similar to outside air temp levels..... but when moving along in 4 low, my air intake temp was hitting 160. I've got to think that a HUGE increase like that has...

    Gen 3 Strut Assembly measurements

    I just tossed my old struts a couple of weeks ago. I think the three mounting bolts are evenly spaced, but if you pull off the air intake box, you can get access to the bolts on the passenger side

    Help needed diagnosing intermittent overdrive '99 Gen 2.5

    **Update My issue isn't fully solved yet. I did do a fluid swap (just go ahead and buy a case, you'll probably need the extra 2-3 quarts because you'll end up flushing out more than the 8.9, and then you'll have to wake up at 6am to get to the dealer to buy those 3 quarts so you can get home to...

    I still have the leather seats.... Going to chuck them unless someone wants em. If I separate them from the foam, they would ship fairly small and light.

    Help needed diagnosing intermittent overdrive '99 Gen 2.5

    Ok, I'm going to backtrack a little..... on the way home today, started having my intermittent shift issues, dropped it out of OD and it was feeling like the issue was persisting (but only slightly).... so when I pulled in the drive I popped the hood, checked the fluid level. While the fluid...
