Sabre, You can read the codes yourself without a scanner...just need a short length of wire. Here's a website that explains the process: http://www.pajero.guru/how-to-read-check-engine-light-without-scanner-3-2-di-d/ That will save you the hassle of going into a dealership (for reading the...

Thank you guys. That's really encouraging. :beer: For anyone that has followed along with our adventures this year, I just wanted to let you know to stay tuned :lurk: I'm currently working on the final chapters of this Middle-earth saga...we've completed a handful of additional adventures that...

Thank you so much. And we'll absolutely keep updating the story as it happens (looks like late October will be the next big chapter...God willing). I've found that writing about the adventures is just as much fun for me as the adventures themselves.

What name do/will you use on Facebook and the other "Montero boards"?

No. Freaking. WAY!!! :Wow1: ... :wings: ... :jump: ...There is no emoji to rightly express our excitement over this! Thank you so much to anyone that enjoyed this, and a special thanks to all those others whose pictures and stories inspired us to venture out ourselves. So freaking blessed...

I'd say an UltraGauge scan tool (http://ultra-gauge.com/ultragauge/ultragauge_wired.htm). They're only $70 and give you give you an instant volt meter, trans temp gauge, and OBD-II code reading abiltiies. They can display a million other things too, but those three are the things I felt my Gen3...

Great report man. Loved the pictures. A hearty amen to the tips at the front end of things...as a parent of four boys, five and under, I can say that they are spot on lifesavers for long seat times. Our trip plans always include intentional out of the way stops every two to three hours to give...

I for one would be very interested to see what you come up with, Toasty, especially regarding the upgraded mounts. Australia is a looonnnnggg ($$$$) way from the East Coast. Arizona is a little bit better.

Thanks Jeep-N-Montero. First time I've seen this article or the website. I hadn't yet run across exploringoverland.com in my internet travels...looking forward to spending some time reading there.

:D Meet them...heck, you can borrow them if you'd like so the wife and I can attend a class or two. They've all had their shots, but be careful with the little one...he bites! Haha. We're hoping to attend, making plans to that end, just not sure of the details yet. Big plans for September and...

I have a similar problem with mine that's likely a bad ground, but I'm not sure. How did you check for the ground in the rear of the vehicle? With a meter or just by trying different ground spots until it worked? I've been stumped on how to check since the online instructions I've seen all say...

x2...I've got no more fingernails to bite at this point.

Here's our's: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/160587-COOPER-DISCOVERER-Middle-earth-by-Montero-with-Four-Kids Includes a portion in Cape Lookout, NC with the flag towards the end.

Sorry I didn't pay much attention to this sooner. I've been busy and the Montero's A/C hiccup has been on the back burner. I'll try to give this a shot one evening this week as...well, if time allows (busy week, again). Thanks for coming at this from another angle. I'll try the FSM resistance...

FSM Testing Procedures for Volume Air Flow Sensor Here's what I've found (from the 2003 Montero Factory Service Manual): The Volume Air Flow Sensor is what the FSM calls the Mass Air Flow Sensor. 13Aa-17: Intake Air Temperature Sensor Check The Intake Air Temperature Sensor is the small...

I did a little checking around. The MAF Sensor is part # 336482, and it is the same part # for the Montero Sport with the 3.5L engines (99-04). I bring this up because if your area is like mine there are ZERO Gen 3 Monteros in local pick and pull yards, but a good number of Montero Sports...

Man, I'm glad to hear that Fernandez! How much did the MAF cost you? I see it listed online at around $425 (OEM part # MD336482). I've also seen that cleaning them using CRC MAF Cleaner can ruin them since they are the Karman Vortex style. Wonder if that's happened to mine. I'm trying to find a...

I share your sentiments here...three out of four trips ends this way for me. Though not according to plan, it seems to always be worth it anyways though. Just realized at the end that you're the hammerheadfistpunch from Oppo and Jalopnik. I've read a few of your articles over there and have...

x2 on the congratulations. You guys both had great reports. My wife's favorite part of all the stories was the picture of Bill Beers dragging the Volvo out of the creek by the tow strap. She would have probably voted for your story based on that picture alone if she was on the forum.

Thank you guys. Sorry for the pandering and begging. I hope you enjoyed the story. It was fun to do, fun to write.
