Timing belt @140k it has 215k now and radiator and cooling replaced 2 yrs ago. Is there a newbie checklist for 3gs? What other places to find good support on the monty? I thought being a Japanese vehicle and its dakar heritage there would be a bigger aftermarket but its hard to find stuff. So far I'm having fun!
Biggest difference is that the 3.8L engine has more torque, and the 03+ has an amazingly capable electronic traction control. Other than that, I really like my '02. I drive it everyday, work out of it from time to time, tow my camping trailer with it, and occasionally fill it up with folks.After driving this thing around for the past couple of weeks I'm thinking how much I want to dive into the rabbit hole. I love the size of it and want to keep it but should I move into a 2003 and up gen3? What are the biggest difference other the 4wd and the 3.8l motor? Any advise from owners of both?
