The original diff was bad, so I needed a replacement. The traction control only activates once it detects wheel slip, so having LSD means that it can prevent slip before the traction control activates on the rear axle. It behaves like a LSD when engaged anyway. I can only say that it...

There was a service bulletin posted about this where a kit with a thicker cir-clip is used on the axle. Some have been able to repair by bending the current clip into a bigger diameter. It is a known issue that was correct for the 05+.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is the only thing that can confirm whether it has an LSD or not. My 01 XLS did not have a LSD, some 01-02 Limited models did not have LSD. 03-06 removed LSD in favor of the new traction control system, but I installed an 02 Limited LSD diff in my 05. It works well without...

Remove the wheel and inner fender liner. I did this 2 years ago when I broke the original in an ice storm (low hanging tree branches). The power unit can be split open after removing the housing screws. I had found an instruction with pictures before, but cannot find it now.

I would definitely take it if it wasn't so far away. :cool: Good luck with sale. I'm sure there will be someone in NV or AZ who wants it.

ASC will always cut throttle to maintain vehicle stability when it detects wheel slip and prevent a rollover situation (more throttle=more speed=more energy to flip the car). Traction control uses the brakes to manage individual wheel slip and it activates after the ASC. The systems will act...

Sometimes I end up leaving mine in the driveway for several days while I am out of town or driving my other car. This led to the death of the original battery (I think Autozone) so I bought a Marine Starting Duracell from Batteries plus. The extra terminals are nice to help wire in my lights...

When you spend $20-30k on a vehicle and parts, it is hard to want to go offroad and scratch the nice paint. Spend $10k on a Montero and gas so you can actually go somewhere. :ylsmoke:

Trip up to Horsepasture Rd and Jumping Off Rock in SC. Really simple drive until the tree got in the way. Still a nice day.

Gen 3 Monteros also have an active security system that activates and runs once the doors are locked and shut. I think it is about 30-60seconds after the lights go out, that it begins monitoring for theft alerts. It is noticeable by a little blinking red light on the dash by one of its...

Which mounts did you use as a replacement? OEM or one of the Rock Auto brands?

Seems like it for the most part. The ECMs are reliable, but all software builds up errors. Most are cleared out immediately, but some are just placed in a trash pile inside the temporary memory (RAM). Get enough errors in the pile, and they can cause strange behavior. Disconnecting the...

Has the battery been replaced or has it died recently? Check all vacuum lines for the engine, make sure the throttle body is cleaned, and check the IAC unit for any issues. Sounds like it might be flooding the system. Are you pressing the gas pedal when it is starting? This could add...

+1 for Moog They have kept a lot of their manufacturing in the US and Japan. Always high quality. They have models with and without the grease fitting. Spicer is also excellent if you know what size is needed. A call to their sales office might help with finding the right part. They are the...

That's the vehicle's natural rust prevention I would start cleaning the grime and oil away so you can see nice metal. Then drive about 30mins or so to get the oil drips. Follow them back along the cleaned surfaces to the source. It can be almost impossible to follow them before cleaning the...

The reason that most threads opt for welding or tube headers is that the OEM replacements eventually crack. Why spend so much on a part that will have the same failure. Most of the AU headers can be found on eBay, but you will need to contact them about shipping to the US...

I just bought some Toyo AT2s in 265/70/17 for my 05. They are barely louder than the Goodyear/Dunlop tires that it came with, but those were worn out, and I wanted a matching set. :D Overall, I am very happy with them. I recommended them to my family members a few years ago for their Jeeps...

I vote both. You can check for a LSD label on the back of the diff housing. It should say HYBLID LSD if one is equipped. If there is oil leaking onto the driveshaft, then it probably came from the transfer case. Clean all surfaces on the drivetrain and run around the block. Go back under...
