Hello there.... My name is Don. i have a problem with my mits montero, 3.2 CRDI after a short highway drive for about half an hour or less, suddenly i felt the power just drop down, i stop and try to

it's not a big job, I would estimate maybe $100. Could be done in 2 hours I figure. I have owned a Mits Mighty max 2.0 for 30 years and that's my best guess. Don't have a shop jerk you around.

2001 Mits Montero 3.5, Fuel pump isn't responding. What do i do?

Does it use any oil, or lose any coolant? If not, do you make a lot of short trips, then shut it off by chance? If your not using oil, or coolant, then I'd say take it on a long drive at highway speeds to drive out the moisture laying in your exhaust system. Recently had a muffler go on wife's car that does a lot of short trips, and old muffler was almost full of water from condensation and obviously poor exhaust design, that allowed it to build up like that. Took it next night on trip about an hour away. Every time I took off, or passed a car, white smoke rolled out the back. On way home, it stopped and cleared up.

Just to get back to basics, the Montero will need to be in two wheel drive to unlock its hubs. To do so the Montero must be placed in reverse and backed-up @ 10-20 feet or so. (during cold weather you may have to drive around abit to heat-up the grease in the hubs so they'll unlock) if this does not unluck them (and it is clearly out of 4WD there is a mechanical problem with the hubs and they need to be rebuilt.
I hope this may have helped,

drivers side at the bottom of the dash plastic look down by the floor where the dash ends it should be right in that area

it is easy to change even you can change it your just going to take off the front wheel then you will see the break panel there's a bolt holding the break pad loose it so can pull the break pad out... or more or less even a driveway mechanic can do this for less cost...

should be a good place to start, if condition don't improve call in a trans tech
