    Transmission leak at radiator

    I began hearing my ABS system working hard and noticed a leak underneath my 2001 Mitsubishi Montero. I opened up the bottom end of the engine and saw that day transmission cooler line entering the radiator was covered with fluid. The fluid had been blown back and saturated the passenger-side...

    Aisin TKM-003 Timing Belt Kit Opinions

    I got the 005, it listed that it included the tensioner at the time. Hope that they corrected that on their website.

    Aisin TKM-003 Timing Belt Kit Opinions

    I just installed the AISIN kit. Just a heads up, the kit did not include the hydraulic tensioner. I had to get one locally, for 100 bucks. When I contacted Rock Auto the deducted 20 bucks from my order stating that was their cost. You may want to go through the kit before you open up your truck.

    Another "Which Shock" Thread

    Re. The Bilsteins, they are the OEM shocks on power wagons. The area that I spend time in has a lot of washboard, and that truck just eats them up.

    Another "Which Shock" Thread

    I put KYB shocks on the rear of my 2001montero last year, they only lasted about 8 months before they started leaking oil on a camping trip. I have since replaced both the front struts and the rear shocks a second time, also with KYB. So far, two months, they are fine, and I do like the ride...

    Host of gen 3 questions

    Look forward to your write up from coffeegoat not that I will have his skills. But atleast I can get a real good idea of what I am looking at. When I do the valves what on the fuel rail should I be looking at? I have done the o ring but the driver side cam seal with the rtv has been...

    Host of gen 3 questions

    I purchased my 2001 Montero last year and have been really impressed with it so far. As you guys have talked about, the former owner did not keep up on the maintenance, so I have been picking away at that as time and money allow. One of the first things I did was have one of the local shops...

    Time for valve seats?

    I am getting a little smoke when I start up after it has been sitting. With 141k k on the odometer, my guess is it is time to rebuild the heads. What are your thoughts, pull them and hand them over to a machine shop, try to rebuild them in place. Have any of you guys had any experiences with...

    Chirpy the breaks

    Thank you. I called the dealership but there told me that they could not check if the recall had not been serviced at there facility. Does Mitsubishi USA track that?

    Chirpy the breaks

    So two weeks ago I called the dealership in phx and had them send up the o ring for the cam seal on the passenger side rear end of the engine as it was leaking. According to the parts guy, the driver side does not have that same oil seal, even though I can see what looks like the same leaky...

    One of These or One of Those

    I have been driving trucks for Uncle Sam for about 20 years. We used to buy Fords and Chevys, but moved to the Power Wagon in 2006. I've had two of them since then, and no experience with the Raptor. What I can say about the Dodge is that they're built for work. I used to destroy a Chevy in 18...

    Gen3 won't start on hills

    Nope, no check engine light. It just won't start. I tried to let it sit for an hour after multiple attempts, just in case it was flooded. I will check the air control valve.

    Gen3 won't start on hills

    OK, I am turning to the wisdom of your collective experience. My 2001 Monty has difficulty starting on cold mornings when I park it on a decline. This morning was about 25 degrees. It started, then stalled and refused to start again untill I towed it to a level spot in the driveway. This is the...

    Dash lights up when I hit the breaks

    Well tomorrow came a few days later than I had hoped. I pulled the aftermarket wiring off from were the former owner had scabbed it together and foud that he added a ground wire that was not really grounded. When ever I hit the breaks it must have fed back through the truck and been causing most...
