    Gen 2 LS gear ratios, motor and other questions

    too bad to hear... I've seen at least a dozen SRs or Gen 2.5s with lockers at the pick-a-parts place here in socal.... All have been scrapped by now. I'm not sure of offroad performance difference between the two... my guess is that lockers work better for low speed applications, and limited...

    Any idea what this wire might be??

    2nd on starter and alternator wire. Could that little wire be some kind of aux power or voltage sensor? Starter wire disconnects via solenoid. But I assume alternator is always hot to battery

    Low beam headlights not working on '05 Montero

    It could be the stalk.... I forget the exact issue, but my notes say it was something with the bright lights (and/or turn signals), I fixed both issues on the same date. I replaced a stalk and it resolved the issue. I used rock auto to find other mitsubishi vehicles the same stalk was found...

    Gen 2 LS gear ratios, motor and other questions

    Should be 4.63 gears. But because is LS and not SR has smaller diameter gears.... At least in the front, probably rear too... So I don't think you can just swap with SR. But you should be a LR to pull the front axle housing and axles from an SR. But best to check the sticker on the front and...

    Gen 3.5 DIY Skid plate build

    Did an oil change this weekend on the gen 3, the 4wd actuator sits really low and has virtually no protection in front of it. I'll have to look into doing something similar

    2003 Montero Limited 3.8L Crankshaft Sensor Plate Question

    Wow! Glad you were able to solve it. I though it was REALLY strange that the pins in the timing plate didn't line up with existing holes.

    Tires on Gen 3 - What are you running, how is the noise

    I have BFG all terrain on my 99 and nitto terra grappler's on my 03. The nittos are REALLY loud compared to my BFG, I would not buy the terra grapplers again because of the noise. it's so bad that I'm tempted to just replace the tires (1.5 years and 25k miles on them) for something else, and...

    2003 Montero Limited 3.8L Crankshaft Sensor Plate Question

    I don't recall that in my 3.8... as in, I don't recall seeing holes and pins in the plate. Because of the keyway in the plate, and the gear, and the spacer... that's what I would use to line things up. I would put it all together with the old setup, and see if the keyway in relation to the...

    One of These or One of Those

    What does the aftermarket look like for each? One of the real downsides (or good for your wallet) is that Montero has limit aftermarket. All of the bolt-ons are one of the most compelling things about the Jeep platform.... Raptor has been out for a few years, probably in a similar situation...

    Gen 2.5 Antenna Removal???

    The baby coax is called a din connector. And it does go to the amp. Pretty sure there is a blue wire on that din connector, that should be the switch to turn on and off the amp, as well as raise and lower the antenna. Put a meter to it, and you'll get some volts when the radio is on and none...

    Gen 2.5 Antenna Removal???

    Its a blue wire. The same goes to the amp. Tells the amp when to power up. I added a switch inline with the blue for the antenna so I can keep the antenna down while listening to phone provided tunes. You have to remove the fender to get to the antenna motor

    99 Montero 4wd lights not working.

    This is one of the better articles on the 4wd lights.... although it's more targeted toward the flashing light issue that is much more common. http://4wd.blogeasy.com/article.view.run?articleID=318776 I'm pretty sure that all of the lights should illuminate when you start the car, if nothing...

    1999 Montero Crank polley bolt question and cocern

    I replaced the crank bolt on my '99 by removing the fan, and the pulley belts. This gives you access to everything you need (albeit in a tight space). Also helpful to pull the skid plates so you can access things from underneath. now, if the crank bolt broke... it's REALLY difficult to get...

    2003 Montero Limited 3.8 started then doesn't start again...

    we had a fuel pump go out in our 03 a few weeks ago (155k miles).... didn't throw any codes. Thursday wife texts, car won't start... I get home at end of day, starts right up... sunday night, in the home depot parking lot, while it's raining.... car won't start again.... try off and on for an...

    Another valve seal question -smog due

    buy some extra keepers too.... one of those 10 cent parts can sink the whole job. I was able to do the whole thing keeping the heads and all of the cooling passages on using the lever style valve compressor..... You've seen my video on the rope, compressed air really helps shoot the rope down...
