Sorry for my first post being so needy.... haha.
just picked up a mighty max this week. 4x4 5spd with the 3.0 v6. Super clean. No rust anywhere. Straight body! Pretty rare find in the Midwest. I couldn’t have been more excited about it! Except now I think the motor is bad....drove it home 3 hours on the interstate just fine and just as Im pulling onto my street it starts to overheat. I knew it had a slight radiator leak but it maintained temp the whole way home running 70 on the interstate. Put stop leak in it and drove it today for 5 minutes before it died on me. Won’t start or turn over.
anyways, I am planning for worst case scenario as this thing gets towed into the shop and I’m looking at possible engines to drop in if I end up needing to replace it. I have no experience with engine swaps other than just my basic knowledge of engines and the minor tinkering I’ve done over the years.
I believe my engine is the 6g72 engine. I know this engine was used across MANY platforms and wondering if I can make them work for me in my situation. Either the one from the 3000gt or the ones from the early model Montero. It seems from my few hours of research that these should match up to my existing 5spd 4x4 transmission. Just wondering if anyone here has any input for me or any personal experience I may be able to learn from!
thanks in advance for any help or direction I might get! I could really use some help because I have about.....48 hours of experience with these trucks.... lol 😂
