Guess I'm F'd at 2001 220k miles...

Money to burn? I'm on fire, send some Benjamins. 😀

I'll try the Front Tensioners replacement route first. After I replace the front end of my '07 Montero Sport 4x4. Broke the left CV axle.... Always fun around here.

So, on this subject.... I've got 230K on my Trac. Just started hearing the Startup rattle a month ago. getting louder. Would it make more sense to replace the motor & Tranny instead of pull the motor and replace the tensioners? I've been vigilant with maintenance through the years. Not...

A Beauty. You'll love the room, utility and stares on the road. Nothing better has come along. A lot of copy cats that come up short. Welcome Friend.

I'm removing this post due to questional responses. within 3 days I recieved 3 PM directing me to "friends" that have said console. All 3 "friends" have a Joined date of 23-29 Dec 2022, all three selling for $80. I don't have enough info to confirm a Scam, I'm looking elsewhere for my parts...

Thanks for the Trac mud/water report. I'll rebuild the Monty. Got it in the barn today. Teardown starts Saturday.

Good luck to you. I just posted request for info to twist my ST to swamp (4' deep water holes). Got to be someone as crazy as us!

My 4x4 Swamp truck bit the dust last week. 1997 Montero Sport held on for 10 years. Has anyone lifted a ST 4x4 to fit 33" or larger tires. Air intake must be a minimum of 48" from ground. Got some deep water holes on the trail to camp, South Florida. Carl

Whew.... I'm thinking of doing a Reman long block my self. Now me thinks, perhaps not...... Good Luck chasing this one down. Carl

I read all your link, I think, and the use of the restrictor escapes me. Why was it done? My Trac is a July 2001 build. Hearing an occasional start up rattle. thanks for info. Carl

Awesome info. Your link is priceless. Thank you very much.

Yes, before i replaced the MAF, the OBD2 scanner did show multiple "misfire cylinder xxx" codes. After install and clearing errors, truck runs smooth. Out for a 3 hour highway drive for a full check out. With Gas cost today, the check ride will cost more than the repair parts. yikes...

Just a followup. I bought a MOTOPOWER MP69033 Car OBD2 Scanner Code Reader $21. MOSTPLUS 74-50011 Mass Air Flow MAF for $22 Both from Amazon Swapped it out. Runs smooth. the new scanner didn't show a P1121 prior to changing the MAF. Tossed my old Scanner. Thanks for your help.

I think the part is Potentiometer - Engine Throttle Part Number: F5RZ-9B989-BA Genuine Ford Throttle Position Sensor - Ford Parts Giant
