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...

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...

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...

I’ve been getting terrible fuel economy in my gen 3 since I purchased it earlier this year. Averaging 13-14mpg on mostly country roads where I average 18-19mpg in my Jeep Wrangler with bigger mud terrains. I just had a big service done at the Mitsu dealer. Timing belt, water pump, front rotors...

The local Mitsubishi dealer has had my montero for 2.5 weeks at this point for a water pump/timing belt, tranny flush, front brake and valve gasket job. I had set up an appointment so it’s not like I just dropped by and left it. I realize it’s a decent amount of work but this is getting...

Sorry to cross post been trying to figure this out in my build thread but haven't gotten any replies there, figure not many people see it. Ive been having an issue with my Montero where it won't idle. It threw a MAF low voltage code P0102. After replacing the air filter and cleaning the MAF...

Hey Everyone. Just picked up a new to me 2004 Mitsubishi Montero Limited with 102k miles. I had a 2003 before that was rear ended and totaled shortly after I started building it, and after 2 years without it I just had to get another one. It seems like everywhere I looked people wanted...

So I just picked up a new to me 2004 limited montero and am trying to baseline it and work out any bugs. The sunroof doesnt work, the motor makes awful noises but doesnt open. I found a thread that detailed how to fix, said that the motor mounting screws are most likely loose. Well they were...

So I'm trying to figure out the most minimal way to mount a fold over roof top tent to my JKUR with hardtop and have been doing research on rack load capacities with regard to static and dynamic weight and it got me thinking about the weight distribution of a fold over tent when it is open. Is...

So the montero I just bought a month ago is most likely totaled by a dumb teenager who rear ended me. I have done nothing but spend money on it and work on it since I bought it and on my 3rd drive in it, RUINED! I'm hoping people might have some experience and insight on how to deal with...

I'm planning to do the timing belt on my gen 3 montero with the 3.8 motor and have been trying to gather all the information about what other parts should be replaced while the engine is partially taken apart. I figured having a thread with all this information in it would not only help me to...

I read in multiple threads that 285/17/16 fit the 3rd gen montero fine with no lift. Well I just had my local tire shop mount some bfg ko2s and they told me they didn't feel comfortable with it after mounting the front tire because it has barely has 1/8" clearance when the wheel is turned at...

I've read that 285/75/16 tires clear perfectly on a stock mitsubishi montero 3rd gen so I ordered a set up of those in KO2s. I am looking to replace the factory shocks and everyone seems to like OME, my question is can I use OME shocks and struts with the stock springs (N109s front and N110...

So I just got back from a 5 hour drive down to Virginia and back to pick up a 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Limited with 89k. The truck is beautiful inside and out, really nice condition. Has a few issues to iron out but mostly maintenance stuff. This is what I have so far on the list. ASAP...
