    What's gonna leave me stranded?

    I appreciate the tips, guys. The battery is a simple thing I could do now for piece of mind. I had it test a couple years ago when I thought it was the reason the truck wouldn't start. They said it was fine but that battery is of an unknown age. I'll look into the ICM and starter and doing a...

    What's gonna leave me stranded?

    I’m starting to get a little worried about being stranded because the 99 Montero is getting pretty old. It turned 23 this month! I'm trying to figure out maintenance issues that I haven’t addressed and things that could fail while I’m out. I'm also trying to talk myself out of buying something...

    Gen 2.5 Hood won't pop and is stuck shut

    Well, I pulled much harder than I was comfortable with and it finally released. I cleaned it out and set the bumpers slightly higher. It seems to be working now. I also found a fairly large seed in the area and I'm wondering if it was jammed in the release and causing the problem.

    Gen 2.5 Hood won't pop and is stuck shut

    Gen 2.5 Hood won't pop and is stuck shut

    I can't get my hood to pop. There is tension on the cable so I know it hasn't snapped and I can hear it at the hood end when I have someone else pull the handle. I've tried hitting the hood right above the latch while someone else pulls the release handle, PB Blaster, and trying to trigger the...

    Can't get to the driver side rear cam seal on my gen 2.5

    I finally got the bolts loose with a 14 inch flex head ratchet and a 12 point socket. I was just about to pull the plug out when I decided I should probably get the replacement seal ready to go. Well, it turns out I lost it. Oh well. Another week went by and the replacement came in. Several...

    Can't get to the driver side rear cam seal on my gen 2.5

    What's the trick to getting to the driver side rear cam seal for the 3.5 SOHC? The passenger side was easy enough but I can't do the driver side. I can feel both bolts but I haven't been able to get two hands or a long ratchet in there. I'm having a hard time picturing getting the plug back on...

    changing rear camshaft seals

    Is there a trick to getting to the driver's side seal for the 3.5 SOHC? I can feel both bolts but I haven't been able to get two hands or a long ratchet in there. I'm having a hard time picturing getting the plug back on once I do eventually get it off.
