    Whirring/grinding noise on 2003 Montero

    Totally did this fix this morning and the noise hasn't come back. Mine still takes a pretty long time to disengage 4wd but at least the noise is gone. Pretty stoked I thought is was spend big money on a new t-case.

    Byways not Highways: Gen 3 2004 Montero Limited Build

    I would check to see if you have a brake dragging. I just went through this ( it's a long story) any way I would check because it could explain your gas mileage and you traction control light. Now that mine is fixed right it like a new truck .

    Looking to Buy a GEN III

    I have a 2003 I bought it a year ago with pretty good maintenance records with 140,000 miles on it for $6000. I also owed a 97 lc. I love my gen lll it's been pretty low maintenance so far and runs like a champ. I think it would be a fine college car but a Forester would get better gas mileage.

    Sorry. I tried to delete this thread but it wouldn't let me for some reason. Anyway I fixed my problem. Turns out some times you just need to get frustrated and tear your whole dash apart and the climate control and lo and behold you find a ton of dust covering up a important Mercury...

    Anyone have a spare gen 3 climate control?

    I have been driving myself crazy trying to figure out why my climate control has gone crazy. I made another post about but the long and short is when the car sits in the sun on warm day when I get in it the outside temp is in -40 range so my truck think it's freezing out and turn my heat on even...

    Gen 3 and tire noise

    I'm dealing with the same thing. I bought the truck with a set of pretty new at3s on it. It still has it original shocks and the tires are cupped so it makes a crap load of noise for set of tires with about 10,000 miles. Anyway new shocks and some new tires and I hope it will be better.

    I bought my 2003 with a really good history and 136,000 miles on it for $6000. I feel we both got a fare deal. I also recently sold my gen one that I did a ton work on for $500.

    2003 Montero rear cam seal question

    Well I finally did the passenger side cam seal today. The seal was under $5.00 at the dealer and took me all of 15min and most of that was looking for 12mm socket. It's sooooo nice to not smell burning oil.

    Gen 3 Roof Rack Options

    I built a really cool rack for my gen 1 I could strap 4x8 sheets of plywood to it as it was awesome. The gen 1 blew a head gasket so I bought a gen 3 and my rack would work using the roof rails and so Thule mounts but it would sit so high off the top of the car.
