I was soooo wrong.
For months I thought my Montero was doing fine and I have isolated the electrical problem. I was so wrong. I finally folded and spent the money to have her fixed. My mechanic was right, it was the alarm. I folded even more by getting a better radio, one that controls an iPod and play CDs and MP3s. An Alpine head unit and a Clifford alarm were the upgrade for my baby.
Yeah it's 10 years old but it's better for me financially than a new truck. I can see many more years out of my truck. A new truck is nice but ten years from now, it will be ten years old, then the cycle of buying a new car continues.
The alarm chirp is new and kinda female sounding but who cares, they all sound the same. The stereo is something else. It controls my ipod and it sounds great. The older speakers are still good. Infinity makes excellent speakers.
The only thing when I had this project done was I didn't have a ride home. I walked to and from the garage in San Dimas. To make it worst it was during the rainy days so I was soggy to say the least. Good exercise though and I get to use the rain jacket I didn't get to use in Yellowstone.
