I ordered the free wheel clutch solenoid pack, ill make sure to post back to let everyone know if that was the issue Another culprit is the front propeller sensor, which ive read, people say had broken another piece of advice is getting the transmission error fault codes, which you can ask...

So I just go a new 2003 Mitsubishi Montero 20th ann. It seems that after 15-20 minutes of driving the cdl light starts to flash. Ive heard some of you other guys have had this issue. Prior to this happening all 4wd modes work properly and after restarting the monty all the 4wd modes work again...

Heh jhil, that looks beautiful! I love the black, very sleek I sent you a PM about the flashing cdl problem you mentioned in your montero for sale post

I think I'm confused about the traction control... I thought they were 2 separate systems... So on the Monty traction control and stability control are the same thing. And the traction control is only push button activated? When in 4wd? Also does the 2003 Monty stock radio have an auxiliary...

So tomorrow I hope to bring home a nice 2003 Mitsubishi montero 20th anniversary edition and on my long journey (1000mi) I'm wondering if my Monty has a low fuel warning light, when it kicks on, and is it accurate? Also side question :this Monty has traction control and stability control...

Does anyone know if I need to replace the crank pulley bolt? I know on previous generation monteros there was an updated bolt that you had to replace the old one with

How on earth are you getting such great gas mileage?

thanks again guys for all the replies and detailed info...funny thing is I think i just got to get in there and see how things work, i think at that point Ill have alot more questions. Its hard to understand some of the concepts (like tensioning) until i actually get in there

I told my wife I hate the color! And of course she called the color "champagne" not beige. But your right, it definitely will show less scratches. Funny, ive been searching for a montero for weeks, and this is the rarest color Ive come across...maybe its one of a kind :)

OK, seems simple enough... Are the 3/8th bolts held in by anything (welded). Also can you post the measurements? Also can someone explain how the tensioning of the belt works, specifically? Is it necessary to replace the actuator, and what does it do? Edit:I have never done a timing belt...

So you don't have to remove any of the intake? I think I might try and tackle this job, as im going to be tapped out financially after buying this gen 3 montero, and taking it to the shop is going to be out of the question. Anyone willing to let me borrow or buy their homemade crank pully...

Thank you guys for your persistence on persuading me to buy a rust free vehicle, I did find one way down south...flying out this friday to purchase...20th anniversary edition...it looks like it just rolled off the assembly line

WOW that is awesome gas mileage! I remember doing Naches with you and Jason W...you had that red montero sport. Heres a blast from the past...

Vehicle has been SOLD

Heh guys, is that skid plate in the front standard on all gen 3 monteros, I just saw another gen 3 (2003) that was missing that skid plate and had no apparent damage in the front also, where can you buy one of those front skid plates other then pulling one from the junk yard

Thanks guys for all your help... I think I'm going to pass this Monty up. Overall I don't think the rust is bad, and I consider myself an expert in this as I've lived in Oregon (salt free) and NY (salt, salt, salt) The problem is underneath the front bumper, it's missing the entire skid...

I wish I could find a vehicle without rust, I know they are out there (in my neck of the woods), people bring west coast vehicles here (I did)...but that would involve a long patient game...this vehicle is in NJ, where they dont use alot of salt...it has rust, but the frame itself looks straight.

I can def chime in on the effects of constant salt spray in winter time...it wreaks havoc everywhere. To give you an example...I have never seen a gen 2 monty here in NYS, I have never seen a gen 2.5 here in NY, I have only seen like one gen 3 on the road here and seeing them on craigslist here...

Heh Peter, moved back to NY a couple years ago to be closer too family (now we're to close) I'm selling my gen 2 tomorrow. As far as the pics, you really think there is a lot of rust, with the exception of the lower front right, it seems pretty decent I wish I had the time or money to be...

Heh Peter, (its Ethan) Id like to buy one out of the rust belt, this monty has spent its whole life in New Jersey...they use salt very sparingly in NJ (have family down there)
