Mitsubishi didn't win 11 Dakar races with the fastest or most powerful vehicle. They won by reaching the end first without falling apart. :coffeedrink:

The entire 3rd member/carrier is easy to swap, and can be done in a driveway with a jack and helping hand. I swapped a 4.3 LSD diff into my '05. I have heard rumors that there were 4.9 LSD gearsets made, but I have never seen one in person to confirm. If you want to switch to 4.9 gears, your...

Many people have used the Shell Rotella T6 5W-40 oil with good results.

I will be there on Saturday. It would be nice to get a group picture of Mitsubishis, but I do not know if that will be possible.

This is everything I normally bring with me when towing. The rear of the Montero is also filled with all of my tools and spare equipment. I drove my STI separately while my dad drove my SUV. I also use AWD (4H) on the 5-speed when towing to help mitigate any trailer swaying effects.

I've used both the 3.5l and the 3.8l engines for towing and offroad. The 3.5l is helped in the 01-02 XLS trim by having 4.9 gears which improve acceleration and torque. The 3.8l has noticeably more power, but that also has to do with the improved intake manifold design (dual length runners)...

If you live in the UK, then these are known as the Shoguns. You even still have current production Gen 4 models with the 3.2l turbo diesel. Gen 3 and Gen 4 have almost identical specs with the only major changes being done to the outer appearance. Interior measurements...

I may be there on Saturday if nothing else is going on.

If you have any questions about a Gen 3, I have owned both versions and worked on them over the last 11 years. Also good information is in the Australian forums for the Pajeros (same vehicle).

Can you link to this USB port charger?

I would switch back to ceramic. Semi-metallic pads do have better heat tolerance and bite, but they eat into the rotor causing more heat due to the metal particles. Your rotors are probably overheating because of this. It is strange that it is happening on one side more than the other.

My list for your goals would go like this: Montero Sport < Nissan X-Terra = Gen 2/2.5 Montero < Gen 3 Montero XLS < Gen 3 Montero Limited/03+ The Sport is an entirely different vehicle from the full size Monteros. It is an import of the Challenger SUV, but named Montero Sport by the US...

I thought I recognized those woods. :agree:

Nice trails. Are these Georgia or NC?

Possibly something to do with the pressure relief valve or the EVAP canister. Check FSM page 17-66. It shows the diagram for the full system. Both of those modules are located behind the right rear tire just past the fuel tank. Also could be the overflow hole in the fill tube.

No problem. You can get PDF versions for anything else you can't find using the link in my signature. Hopefully you find the problem.

Try to determine if it is a slow leak or fast leak. Also you may be able to see a drip in the pool while running, but it is hard to tell without an inspection camera. If it is leaking from the o-ring that mine was, then you have about 4 hours of work. This is how I repaired it: Check lines to...

Is it a bad door jamb switch? If it does not see all the door jamb switches correctly, then it would immediately unlock the doors. IIRC

Do you have coolant in the valley behind the water pump housing?
