    Serpentine belt gen 3 3.8l

    funny, i was just looking over the fsm and saw you do have to take the fan off, which i assumed. The nice thing is this serpentine replacement looks like a piece of cake job as long as you dont mess up the routing

    Why? You have to somehow get it off the island and onto the ferry, can the ferry fit a truck and trailer? If the timing belt broke, you probably have valve damage, cylinder scoring, piston damage... That's a good deal of time and money. But if you have both and enjoy that kind of engine rebuild...

    yikes, thats sounds scary as hell! so my thought is...drive the montys front wheels up on some car ramps. That should give me some space to fit a jack under it to put under the cross member, then as i loosen the crossmember bolts i can slowly lower the transfer case...how many inches can i...

    Sport had some CEL show up: 0431, 0401, 0740, plus some other crap!.

    I had the code p0401 also, on a non-montero...i also cleaned my egr valve like crazy which didnt help. The solution was replacing the plugs and wires.

    Is this the transfer case, whereabouts on it are those "magical" 5 switches located? After undoing that crossmember piece, can you explain what you mean by the "whole thing just rotates down"? Do you just grab the transfer case and hand turn it down? And im assuming, this is the...
