Happy New Year folks! I think using the 2.3 ranger flywheel in this application is the way to maintain the diesel starter, but I think the pressure plate from the 2.3 ranger will cause some problems in the montero. I'm gonna take my flywheel from the 2.3 over to the machine shop and have them drill/tap holes to mount the 2.6 mitsubishi [4g54b] pressure plate onto the ranger flywheel, and ask to have them balance it as well. I think I'll be using my 2.6 oil pan as well, but will need to take a second look to see what pmontero is referring to - also, should I be using a two pump system, one near the tank, and the other near the firewall? I salvaged the rough but functional electronic pump from the 2.3 ranger, but not the pump from the tank, [if there is one]. Has anyone got part numbers or recommendations for which pumps to get [NAPA #s]. Also, DYLANB - how did your tach turn out? I almost sold my rolling ranger chassis with the tach still there until I saw your previous thread, and got it out as the guy showed up to take her away. How would I get this into the montero?
