    WTB - Canon Lenses for College Photography Student

    My son is looking to buy a used Canon 5D MIII, and needs lenses for it. We aren't in the new retail price market. If you've been thinking about selling a seldom used lens, we might be interested. He is definitely looking for a 50mm, preferably the F/1.2, but would accept a good deal on F/1.4...

    NOT Firing on all cylinders - Gen 2.5

    I have a 1998 Gen 2.5 with the 3.5L SOHC engine. I recently did the timing belt and water pump, and think it was done properly. Now about two weeks later, the truck has started to run extremely roughly, and sounds like it's firing on maybe 4 of the 6 cylinders. The engine rocks significantly...

    Engine help needed - 3.5L SOHC 1998 Gen 2.5

    When it comes to mechanical skills on engines and things.....I'm a pretty good rough carpenter :-) So today my son drove the Monty home from school (about 3 miles door to door), when he parked in the driveway, he heard the gush of liquids and some boiling steam coming out of the front end.

    Gen 2.5 - Headlight failure..sorta?

    What would cause one headlight to go dim? I replaced the passenger side bulb with a new one, but it's still dim. I measured 11.85v at the harness, but I don't know what the good one is reading because the driver side bulb is a real PIA to get to. I can't think of what would cause it to be...

    1998 Gen 2.5 - O2 Sensor replacement - Mission Impossible?

    I'm told there are four O2 sensors on the 1998 Gen 2.5 with the 3.5: SOHC engine. I can only find two, one just ahead of the cat, just after the right and left bank exhaust manifolds merge into one pipe before passing through the Catalytic converter, and another between the Cat and the muffler...

    Gen 2.5 - Window won't stay up!

    My front passenger window won't stay up anymore. It's dropped all the way down into the door. Window motor still makes whirring noises like it want's to work, but I think the window's gone of the rails, or whatever. Is this is easy fix, or do I need a masters degree in rocket engineering to...

    Phantom Horn Blower... Gen 2.5

    Yesterday while starting the 1998 Monty, the horn started blowing, not in any sort of sequence, such as an alarm, just... random horn noises. It only did so with the ignition key inserted and turned to the ACC or Start/Run position. So with the car running, the horn was occasionally sounding...

    I need a set of street tires and rims to swap in on my 98 Gen 2.5. It's seeing more and more use as a daily driver, with my 17 year old behind the wheel now. Looking for something more stable than the 33" BFG KM2's on there now, plus with better wear characteristics. Prefer to buy cheap and...
