    Gen III front tire 4WD lights blinking

    These are also known to get "stuck" when not used for extended periods. The vacuum connections control the front axle disconnect for free-wheel. The other connectors control the transfer case functions. Regular exercise of the system keeps it in better condition. Also, is this a 01-02 XLS or...

    2024 L200 launched, will it come to USA?

    I don't think the L200 will ever import to the US. The Nissan ownership already has the Frontier and won't import competition. It also would likely sell poorly compared to other small trucks in the segment here.

    Cylinder-1 Misfire: advice needed

    It could be a possibility. Bad gasket or leaking hose letting most of the air into 1 cylinder might happen at the front of the manifold.

    Oil Cooler Lines, ATF rating ok?

    I am also not a certified mechanic, but ATF lines should be rated for fuel/oil. Those should work without issues. The only type of hose that I know you cannot use with any oil is silicone. It will absorb oil and can expand.

    Gen 3 4.9 Diffs

    I used a floor jack and an extra set of hands to help balance it. They are not extremely heavy, but awkward to hold above you.

    New Owner of a Gen III Montero

    Looks good. If you don't have one already, grab the FSMs from my signature. I usually keep both for the Gen 3 since they have slightly different pictures of some things. For the fuel system, I know the pump and filter can be bought from RockAuto. I believe I got a Denso pump kit (probably...

    Gen 3 4.9 Diffs

    Do make sure to take off the emergency brake once you break the bolts loose. Use a wheel chock on the front to keep it from rolling since you're disabling park when you unbolt the driveshaft to the rear.

    Gen 3 4.9 Diffs

    I swapped my rear diff and did not need to drop the tank or cut anything. Everything unbolted normally.

    Asfir 4x4 makes a hidden mount for Gen 3 as well. It is not cheap, though. https://www.asfir.com/hidden-winch-mount-567020.html

    Third Gen Montero- Question

    Here it is: http://4wd.blogeasy.com/article.view.run?articleID=318776 When troubleshooting online, Pajero is a good search term to find Australian guys posts. The only parts I have replaced on mine were the solenoids, the free-wheel clutch, and some vacuum lines. About $200 in parts for...

    Third Gen Montero- Question

    I need to try to find the website, but there is a Mitsubishi 4WD blinky-light diagnosis page. It is using the center diff light as a type of error/check light for the system. Usually these need to be exercised through the 2H-4H-4HLc-4LLc modes or the system gets hung up. Solenoids, vacuum...

    3rd Row Seat Compatibility Gen 2.5

    I can recommend double checking part numbers on PartSouq in their catalog. If P/N match, then it should be able to fit.

    Code P0300, advice needed.

    Did you tighten down the water pump before setting timing on the belt? From what I've seen, the water pump slightly moves timing because it's pulley will move a bit before it is tightened down. It is not specifically mentioned in the FSM. This is a known quirk of V6 Chrysler engines of the...

    Fuso FG clutch bleed

    Hey, you may get more help in the Japanese Heavy Truck. They will have more experience with the larger vehicles. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/forums/japanese-heavy-truck-mitsubishi-and-isuzu.72/

    Why

    The smaller bolts also do not hold the entire force of the vehicle. Their surrounding surfaces and bores hold the weight. The bolts just provide a clamping force. Modern hubs on some SUVs now only use 3 bolts for the hub attachment.

    What tires for 3rd Gen?

    I've run 265/70R17 on mine so far. They are stock size for JK wrangler, which makes them easy to find. I'm on my second set of Toyo Open Country AT's.

    Gen 3 transmission cooler line size?

    It likely leaks while driving because the viscosity of the fluid decreases as temperature increases. Also it is under pressure when running. When it cools, it is thick enough to not leak through the gaps. The ZF transmission oil reaches the consistency of water at its peak operating temperature...
