A page right out of @Raul's book: 265/75/16 tires, Moog CC880 and 43-1033HD Springs Got my rear leaf springs from Junior at ATS Springs since they speak "van" and support the Ford Truck Enthusiasts forums. Another write-up on the spring upgrade plus a bonus, genuine Moog front springs still...

Passenger front camshaft seal? I had more trouble with this issue on our Montero Sport 3.5L, not so much on the full size Montero's but still worth a look. Hard to see the evidence with the engine shut off. The oil will drip from the timing belt cover right down onto the Alternator in the...

"Holy old thread resurrection Batman..." :cool: If you still want to do this, here's how. I saw a post on FTE vans sub-forum asking about cluster swaps on up to '96 vans. Forgot that I did this project following an old truck forum thread. Anyhow, it can be done using an F-250/350 gas engine...

"All my misfires have been plug wires..." (sung to the tune of exes from Texas). :cool: Well except for that one time that I had a dead coil. Sounds like you nailed it but don't forget to double check the obvious items while you are in there.

I ordered/downloaded Evoscan. It is "the cats meow" for Lancer Evo folks, but it's pretty slick for OBDII scan for Montero, and will display and record a fair amount of live data. It does way more than our Montero's can feed, and I have no need to reflash the computer. Software is cheap...

That looks to be the same as the Curt and/or Draw Tite. It is different in mounting design from the OEM and will hang down lower, and the receiver tube sticks out farther to the rear, exacerbating our already relatively low departure angle problem. But it will fit, and I use Curt products on...

I also have an '06 with the OEM/Dealer installed hitch. It is a round tube design, still high, but sits a bit lower than the 01-02. Maybe the bumper layout is different like @Michael Brown mentioned? I took these pics awhile back for a contact on the West coast with a similar inquiry. Maybe...

Here's what "for sure" fits the '01-'02 and is OEM/Dealer install. It does sit higher than all the aftermarket ones. Long ago discontinued. '01-02 hitch

-Check rear cam seal(s), telescoping mirror helps. -At timing belt/water pump service check front cam seals and crank seal -On a recent timing belt service, I discovered my oil pump housing bolts were all a bit loose and there was a bit of oil seeping, but not enough to cause consumption. -If...

So this is possibly not going to be fun. I have the same issue on my '02 Montero Limited. The way the heater core is set up, the air passes through the evaporator core first then the heater core. The heater core is flat and rectangular sitting lengthwise left to right, and the left (driver's...

If you mean "wheel spacers" no, these are stock. What kind of spacers are you asking about...?

Welcome back! Do it. Being debt free, and having 3 Monteros is pretty nifty...or crazy depending on your point of view. (Ok, one is a Sport). I bought a basket case '06 listed for parts. Two prior mechanics could not get it running. Broke the timing belt on the Interstate. I'm running it...

Since @MikeE75 is new to the neighborhood, I'll make a friendly defense... Post #1 He says "2002 XLS" Post #4 Picture of his truck, a blue 2002 XLS, which you accurately posted would have the 4-speed auto, 4.90 gearset. I think where I got confused was the junkyard conversation about the 2004...

The wire loom bracket bolts to the back of the transmission bellhousing. You have the bolt there already. See these pics from my truck. (I have already fixed the oil leaks that got the wire loom all nasty, thank you very much...) ;) As far as the "missing bolt" goes, you may be right. I'd...

It can be difficult to find a good repair shop that can speak fluent "Mitsubishi", especially the more rare "Montero" dialect... The rear differentials usually fair pretty well, unless the companion shaft circlip fails and leaks the gear oil out. Then you can have a rather dramatic failure...

Wow, what an amazing run of bad luck and rather unusual. Were you able to get a second opinion? Anyhow, the '03 and newer rear differentials don't appear to interchange with the '01-'02 models. (Car-Part.com and Mitsubishi Online parts lookup). Same for the transmissions. This might be due...

The coolant tubes indicate your Pajero has separate rear heat and air conditioning. Follow the tubes to the rear of the truck. There is a separate heat exchanger in the back to provide user controlled heat from the middle row of seats. The Tee at the joint you repaired has two different...

Dude!!! If that's all it takes...I've got a mechanical punch list that seems a mile long, will this help? Mitsubishi Monteros (and Montero Sports) on gab groups Here's my 2006 Montero Limited that I rescued from an early grave...prior owner had a timing belt failure. 2 mechanics before me...

I've gotten hooked on Wagner Thermo Quiet pads. Use 'em on everything. Rock Auto has good pricing for our versions. Wagner Thermo Quiet PD868 Rear I have determined that box store brake pads with a "lifetime warranty", means I'm going to spend the rest of my life frequently replacing brake...

Y'all...I just noticed Valdosta, GA '06 Limited just dropped to $ 5,800. 158K miles, same owner since 2012. It doesn't get much better than that for a Gen 3. Very nicely detailed, don't see any signs of rust there of course. '06 Montero Limited, Valdosta, GA
