Does the camper need to be disconnected from the vehicle to fold out the bed? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

From what I found online searching if the fan clutch is stuck on you can’t turn it by hand when the engine is off. (Mine spins freely) and if it’s broken in the off position you will over heat. I don’t. So I’m guessing my fan clutch is working as it should and my issues must be somewhere else. I...

I thought about this as well. The front wheels are always much warmer than rears but I had the rotors and pads replaced at the dealer at the same time as tune up and no difference there. Also the mpg is much better on longer trips so I don’t think it’s the brakes. Sent from my iPhone using...

No check engine light. Tune up was plugs and wires. Valve cover gaskets. Tranny flush. Coolant flush. Timing belt. Water pump. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When it (clicks) off does the fan completely stop moving or does it just kind of free spin? When the vehicle is first started up should the fan be spinning? When the engine is off I can manually spin the fan, it’s not locked in place. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My 2004 montero gen 3 radiator belt driven Fan runs all the time even when the engine is cold. Is that normal? I’m trying to determine if something is wrong with it and could be the cause of my poor mpg and now that the weather is cold my heater is weak. I’m thinking if the fan is running when...

My 2004 Montero gen 3 limited is losing its heat. I first noticed it a few weeks back when the heat on the pass side felt less hot. Now only the far left vent is getting any heat. Radiator was just flushed this summer and is still full and looks good. When I dial the control from cold to hot I...

So I’ve realized if I push the key in harder when I turn it, it will start first try every time. For now at least, I’m assuming it will keep getting worse. So that makes me think it’s the ignition that is worn out, seems odd at only 108k miles. Do I need to replace the whole ignition? Sent...

Anyone know where the ignition relay is? My 2004 montero limited sporadically doesn’t start. Usual when this happens after 2-10 tries it eventually starts but I’m worried it’s gonna not work sooner or later. When I turn the key the dash lights up but then nothing with the starter. No noise no...

Anyone?? I’m probably just gonna have to replace them both cause I have no clue which one is causing the problem. Im sure someone else has got water in there from a clogged drain plug and had the same issue?? A new resistor is $280 from autozone. Not even the oem part. Which is crazy. Will...

Recently my ac drain got plugged and the water backed up and dripped onto the passenger floor. After reading a bunch of posts I was able to contort myself over the engine and stick a zip tie into the drain and free the clog and allow the water to escape. All was good with the world until a week...

Mpg update. Last full tank I got 11.5mpg. After I filled it I drove 150 miles in one day to a state forest to explore trails and back home. Probably 50 of those miles were dirt and 15 miles trails 5-10mph max. I filled up again when I got home and somehow managed 20mpg! So either the pump kicked...

So I think what you are saying is my transmission is behaving normally and just unlocking the torque converter when I take my foot off the gas. I checked the fluid cold and hot and it was over an inch past the hot mark. About halfway up the do not overfill writing. Sucks the dealership...

My commute to work is about 7 miles. 12 minutes. So maybe that’s part of it. I’ll have to try to figure out what the fuel trims mean. It’s a bit over my head. I watch the voltage on my scanner sometimes and it just seems super random. I feel like it would need to be tracked on a graph to really...

I had heard of risks of flushing and asked the service techs at Mitsubishi if they would recommend a drain and refill instead of flush because I heard a flush can cause damage. They said that they don’t actually put pressure on the system to flush. They let the transmission pump, pump it out and...
