Yep. Slay the fatted calf. There's finally a Montero in the Pull-A-Part yard in Augusta - 89 LS, 3.0.

Thus far, I've relieved that unit of its bouncy seat base, the tailgate and the air cleaner housing.

I'm heading back in a little while to retrieve the bumper pads to repair son #1's truck. I'll be using the tailgate on his truck too. In addition to a little bump-up some time ago where he tapped another vehicle in the rear, he was rear-ended too. This stuff should make him whole again with a bit of work.

Which brings me to my main question: Since I have the V6 air cleaner housing, I'm planning to put it into son #2's turbo truck to replace that beast from the Starion.

The large sensor connector on both units are the same. However, there is another connector (two leads with the terminals set perpendicular to each other) that has no place to reside on the V6 air can housing.

**EDIT**
Upon closer examination, the small connector goes to a separate switch on the Starion air can base. It looks to be removable, so it can be relocated.

Now, the only question is: Are the air metering systems between the that contained in the Starion air can and the Montero air can comparable? As I recall, they are. Can anyone confirm?

**END EDIT**


By the way, if anyone needs anything, I can try to go get it for you. Let me know.

Thanks much, all.

If the 89 is a 4dr the rear bumper caps will not work with the 2 dr. Found that out awhile back.

What color is the exterior and interior?

2dr or 4dr?

If it has the foot rest pad,I would be interested in that.i took mine off when i pulled the carept for wires and somehow,I lost it and the bolts to hold it into place

I'm clued into the notion that the LWB rr bumper caps are not interchangable with the SWB. Fortunately, I'm gathering parts for an LWB.

Truck in the yard is a 3.0 LWB. It's not wrecked, so everything under the hood is suspect.

Exterior is black and rough as hell. About the only straight panel on it was the tailgate, which is what I needed. Both bumpers were bent, but center pads in the front and an endcap on the rear is what I required and those were (fairly) straight.

I'm booked for the weekend, but have a chunk of next week off. I'll head back out and get that pad and the bolts for it if they're there.

thanks,what the interior color?

Oh yeah...sorry...interior is brown and pretty rough too.

MT or AT?

Automatic.

going along the same lines i will probably going to my local pullapart. there is a 91 burgundy rs automatic with gray interior. pretty good shape, it has been to URE and the dents in the skids show it.

it has no gauge pod, headlight washer, door cards, no wheels, switches,

it has a complete center console with the factory radio, and good shape bezel
