Do you have the 2nd/3rd row headrests? I have been looking for 2 black leather ones for my 3rd row. Also, did this have a spare tire cover?

Have you ever done a fluid change on the transmission? I would check the fluid color on the dipstick. Old fluid has a brown color, really old fluid may turn black, but it shouldn't have a strong odor unless the fluid is burned. New SP-III fluid is translucent ruby red in color. There is a...

Evomaki, I used this 8" Polk sub in the factory spot. Just make new connectors for the wires and use self-tapping sheet metal screws to mount. Any similar sized 8" sub should fit. Also make sure you get the FSM pages for removing the panels. Not difficult, but very time consuming...

I would try asking this question in the Japanese heavy truck section here on ExPo. They will have more experience with the big Fuso trucks and can help point you in the right direction. https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/forums/japanese-heavy-truck-mitsubishi-and-isuzu.72/

I have used my 05 on snow/icy roads. Use 4H (AWD) for most of the driving. Traction/stability control will help keep everything smooth with careful driving. If a point is reached where the 4H is slipping, 4HLc can be used to lock the center diff into true 4WD. This will behave just like your...

Hello Jermaine, You may have more luck posting in the Japan Big truck section: https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/forums/japanese-heavy-truck-mitsubishi-and-isuzu.72/ Most of the members in this section work with the Montero/Pajero/Shogun or the other SUVs/small trucks. I'm sure you will...

In that picture, 15 is also a common failure o-ring. It is suggested to replace this with the timing/water pump service, but gets ignored. It goes into the back of the water pump housing and is a known leakage point in the 3.5/3.8 engines. Part is $8, but it takes some time to get to the...

Someone's lucky Montero made it to a front page story about the Outpost trade retreat. It's even the 4th picture in the article. Very good looking rig. https://expeditionportal.com/the-outpost-2/

Mine did this a few times with the water pump o-ring leak. It was low on coolant, but while moving it kept enough airflow to cool the engine. Low speeds on trails and stopping at drive-throughs would cause the temp gauge to rise.

There is a rubber grommet on the driver side. I cut a slit in that to pass wires for a dash mounted switch. It is up near the top of the pedals or so. Had to find it in the engine bay and push out the interior material inside.

Did you build the drawers yourself, or get a purchased set to fit?

I think it was all related to the accumulator failing. Without the accumulator holding pressure, the hydraulic pump begins to run constantly to keep the system charged. This would then probably lead to overheating and failure of the pump as well. A loud ticking or pumping sound from the...

That is way too much fluid. Pull the cooler hose at the front of the vehicle like it shows in the FSM and that instruction I linked. Started in N, the pump will push out ~2L of oil. Shut off the engine when the flow stops. Check the dipstick and add fluid until it is at the right level.

The flush is different than changing the fluid. Flush will always put the same worn fluid back into the transmission. Most shops are against replacing fluid because of the cleaning detergents in some fluids causing more damage. However, changing to new fluid and filter with the correct SP-III...

This is the write-up I follow for doing fluid changes. The filters can be purchased from RockAuto or other places on the internet. The Diaqueen SP-III fluid can be Mitsubishi, KIA, Hyundai, or Aisin brand. I buy in cases of 12 quarts for the full service. You will need 10 quarts to change...

I'm not saying that the fuel economy isn't normal, but I can help you check the transmission for problems. Move the shift lever into the manual mode and perform the same test, i.e. drop throttle and watch rpms. The 5-speed transmissions in the Gen 3 have a locking torque converter which allows...

What does the transmission fluid look like on the dipstick?

I know you mentioned hating the low hanging trailer hitch. This was something I disliked as well, but I needed it to tow my race car. After scraping it on both my 01 and my 05 several times, I found this guard for the hitch insert. It is all 1/4" steel plate. I have hit this several times...

The Gen 3 FSM that I have has a collection of PDFs that are hyperlinked in the index. I use the index to find the part and click on the relevant page number to the right. It then opens the PDF module with that section. Is this what you are wanting?
