This is awesome. Is there a similar list for the 2001-2002 3.5?

I appreciate your help. It ended up being the starter that was bad. Would still like to see your video about the in-dash voltmeter when you get it up.

Gen 2 Montero / 1996 SR won't start

My '96 Montero won't start. Gonna trailer it home tomorrow to look at it but doing some research in the meantime. Here's the symptoms, what do you think?

• Doesn't crank.  Can sometimes hear a click inside the cabin when attempting to start but that's it. Had my dad helping and he thought he saw the belt turn a hair when attempting to start.
• Voltmeter comes up to 12V very slowly when key is "on" position. If I wait for it to come up, then try to start, I hear more clicking, like if the battery was too low to start. However:
• Interior and headlights come on and seem bright. but:
• Plugged my OBDII reader in, but it won't power on even when key is in "on" position.
• Jumping does no good, even if I leave the cables on for a long time.
• The battery is about 13 months old.

Found some info in this thread I'm going to check into: https://forum.adventuredrivendesign.com/index.php/topic,363.0.html but if you have any other ideas that would be swell.

Thank you Shovel and Funf. I remember reading this somewhere before but it's good to be reminded and to know it's an official procedure.

Thanks for all the replies. I ended up loosening the torsion bar but as I was lifting the LCA the shock decided to dump it's oil  Guess I'll see if it's under warranty, just put these on a little less than 2 years ago. Although... Can I use the ADD Bilstein 5100s without a lift?

Gen 2 Montero / Getting knuckle back on

« on: February 28, 2018, 10:27:54 PM »

I re-booted my driver's side CV boots and while I was at it I replaced some other front end parts.  Now that I'm putting it all back together, I can't seem to lift the lower control arm up high enough before it starts lifting the truck.  I'm guessing I need to loosen the torsion bar or something like that but thought I'd ask the experts here first. Any hints?
