scrap yard LS 5.3 going into 2nd gen swb.

Everything i got it from the junkyard , including the Pajero, the previous owner was going to take the Pajero to the crusher due to broken engine for pocket change, i offered him higher price and he sold it to me about 500$ ( the title costed another 500$).

The engine is stock 5.3 02’ Silverado. With ls1 intake that i have laying around. ( 450$)

The manual transmission and the transfer case costed me the most about 1500$ its AX15 out of 4x4 2012 toyota hilux.

Engine swap ideas for a Gen 2 LS

As you guys could probably tell from my post history the engine on my gen 2 is not cooperating. I think I take pretty good care of her but she just doesn’t wanna commit.

That being said, the Frame body and suspension on the car is solid. In fact most of my suspension was replaced/ upgraded this year. I’ve already dumped 10k into the car and don’t feel like giving up any time soon.

So if I do an engine swap, what do you guys recommend and should I diesel swap it? Or keep it gas?

Kogata Shin

Fast help needed

Looking at buying this Kogata Type 73 Shin.

First Montero.

How can I tell if the 4x4 system is working?

Trans?

I was able to get it out on dirt and was able to get each of the 4 wheels spinning separately.

The lights on the dash turned on as they should for each of the different drive systems, including the warning light that the transaxle was in neutral while the transmission was in park.

However, I have no idea if that means that the differentials are not locking up to actually provide power to all 4 wheels.

Additionally, the car does not move at idle in gear. The A/T light is flashing, and I don't know if the engine is simply not producing enough torque to move the vehicle at all, or if perhaps the brakes are binding, or if enough is wrong with the transmission that the torque at idle is not sufficient to actually move the car.

The following codes are present:

22 23 73 82 85

Also, when driving in any gear, it is very difficult to get the engine to rev above 2500 RPM, though it has no problem revving while in neutral.

Getting an 88 Montero. Short story then question

So long story short friend had a Montero, helped him work on it over the years. Dairy across the way had a few, one ran and two for parts. He's older and decided to sell it. First thought friend and I. My buddy is in another state and his is running great and found parts near him, the temptation to rebuild this one grew. Past 20 years it ran and in the past month it hasn't. First guess accelerator pump diaphragm or fuel filter, couldn't say last time changed it. Runs for 15 seconds and shuts down starving for fuel. I'm looking forward to getting this one running prime again. Damn Monteros pull people in with how unique and fun they are. Now my question, I'm looking at rebuilding it (California in mind, smog) and getting it street legal again. Non-op dairy AG use for a long time now. Used to be a town runner a while ago but relegated to work in the last few years of the dairy. Any advice to the rebuild or things to look for. I'll post pics once I have it moved crossed the valley to my place. It'll be a couple weeks due to schedules.

4 wheel drive system

Looking at my first Pajero, coming from Jeep XJ.

Can anyone explain, or recommend a video, of how/when the 4x4 system should be used, and what it should look like?

I test drove a Gen2, and the stick had 2H, 4H, 4HLc, N, 4LLc.

The dash would flash the front wheels when I shifted into 4H, and eventually they would turn solid green.

It would then flash the center diff in 4HLc, which would eventually turn solid yellow.

I wasn't able to shift into Neutral or 4LLc.

No lights were on during 2H.

The A/T light flashed red while in gear.

Any and all knowledge is greatly appreciated.
