I’m ready for the headaches and heart aches and this will be my project just to learn more about these. Been watching a lot of Montana Montero. A belt and water pump and hydraulic tensioner is otw for me to do these coming weekends and a change oil and filter.

Got this Montero last April and i got it for dirt cheap of $2500 he was originally asking for $4000. Rusts on the body are not bad, undercarriage has a little but the frame looks solid, it drives and starts real good and 4WD works all gears and everything goes. I got the price down because of these lights and I’m sure it’s the first things I gotta address and work on, I was trying to figure out the ABS issue, researched about it and I don’t really hear a chirping sound when I press the breaks so I’m not sure if I have to change the accumulator, I’m guessing I have to get a new HBB? as for the traction or stability control I’m guessing I gotta get i to the wheel sensors and check for voltage. Lastly the check engine, went to Auto zone and was told it’s the cat converter, guess I have cleaning to do?

Let me know what ya’ll think. I’m a DIY kinda guy and love to learn, I like challenges too when it comes to cars so I’d like to hear ya’ll insights.
