    re power questions especially 4g63

    I’d love to see more of that ‘73 Galant! I’ve had the same thoughts as you, how do I get more power than the underwhelming factory output. I also drive an Eclipse GSX and a Lancer Evo so I really feel the lack of acceleration when I drive my old Montero Sport.

    I had a Javelina hunt south of Alpine, TX (just north of Big Bend) this week, before a snow storm hit the area. It was cold and windy and there was a full moon, which seemed to have messed with the javelina's patterns because in an area crawling with javelina, we didn't see any. We did see tons...

    I guess so, I really like the ballistics of the .270. I went on an Elk hunt this weekend in Cloudcroft, NM. We saw lots a Turkeys, Mule Deer, and a handful of Elk but weren't able to make any shots. The weather was beautiful, 30's at night and 50's during the day. We had a good time and put in...

    Congrats on the position in New Mexico! The hunt was in unit 32, which is southeast NM, near Roswell and Artesia. You will have lots of fun up in the area where you are. We really enjoy wheeling in the Caron National Forest, kayaking on the Rio Grande, and hiking up near Taos.

    It's been pretty quiet on the Sport front lately. My wife and I had another baby and I've beeen busy in the garage trying to finish up some projects on the Eclipse and Evo, plus I just started work on my 1971 Buick Skylark Custom. I've owned the Skylark for 14 years, but it's been in storage for...

    Thanks! So last year I developed a leak in the gas tank which I repaired trailside with some jb weld. It recently started to leak again so I found a gas tank at a local junkyard, cleaned it out, swapped over my pump and installed the new tank. It's a pretty easy job on this truck and I'm glad...

    It's a universal kit. Measure your windows, order the next size up, apply the decals, and trim to fit.

    I installed some ghost flag decals yesterday. I got them from Overlook Graphics size 39x19 in matte black. At most angles they are very subdued and barely visible. Then at other angles they really pop. I love the look on my truck!

    Montero Sport transmission issues, looking for advice.

    Finally back on the road! I used the new seals and SPIII fluid on the old transmission and torque converter. It took 7 3/4 quarts of SPIII to get the hot level perfect. No leaks so far. I'll comment back after a few days to let you guys know if the SPIII fluid helps the old transmission shift...

    Montero Sport transmission issues, looking for advice.

    Awesome to hear! Let me know. So on the transmission front, my motivation level has dropped and I'm currently putting the old transmission back in with new seals and SPIII fluid. That should fix my leak and perhaps may even cure some of the shifting gremlins. I'll take the trans back to the...

    Montero Sport transmission issues, looking for advice.

    True. When I first got the truck I took it to a local transmission shop. At first they said it was probably something simple and I believe they messed with the valve body. Nothing was fixed and they said it was in need of a full rebuild and quoted me $1500+. Since I had just bough the truck for...

    Montero Sport transmission issues, looking for advice.

    I appreciate it! However, I am sad to report that the transmission is definitely dead. A buddy came over this evening and we got it installed and everything hooked up in record time. I'm getting pretty quick at this after as many times as I've done it now. When we tested it, it would go into...

    Montero Sport transmission issues, looking for advice.

    I got the transmission off and inspected everything for signs of damage but couldn't find anything. Splines looked good, plate looked good, keys on the pump and converter looked good. I know there is a good possibility that I destroyed the pump, but I figure there is still a chance. So I...

    Montero Sport transmission issues, looking for advice.

    I'm using the Hynduai SPIII fluid, which i read is the same as the Mitsubishi stuff, just cheaper. Luckily the weather has been really nice with rain every afternoon so temps have been quite comfortable. I took the transmission off, with the torque converter still bolted to the flex plate. Then...
