#11 of 32 Re: Endeavor ALL Wheel Driveability [kodename] by jeffer3 May 01, 2007 (7:14 pm)
Replying to: kodename (May 01, 2007 6:38 pm) I'm curious to know more about how the AWD works. Is it what I call "reactive" like in the Pilot or Highlander. In other words, FWD until there is slippage, then applies some power to the rear. The new Outlander seemingly has a more responsive AWD system. But I think the Outlander may be a wee bit smaller then what I'm looking for. My Subaru unfortunately IS too small, as I found out a little too late. My left leg cannot get comfortable. Otherwise it rides and handles fairly decent. tx Jeffer3 Replies to this message: kodename (May 05, 2007 4:20 pm)

Replying to: jeffer3 (May 01, 2007 7:14 pm) Jeffer, after a little research this is what I found printed in the 2004 Press Info binder: "All wheel drive Endeavors utilize a center differential equipped with a spider gear and viscous coupling arrangement to realize a full time 50/50 torque split,sharing power to all four wheels."   I believe this means power(torque) is availble equally to all the four wheels selectively at all times, and that no bias to front or rear is present at any time?    I hope this helps. As you probably know the sales brochure is big on the radio system and bare when it comes to under the skin spec.'s. That and most dealer sales staff know only whats in the brochure if even that:-) I'm 6 foot, 215lbs, and long road trips in the Endeavor never leave me wishing for more interior room.Bill C.
#13 of 32 HELP!! Center Console Customization by ssfblue Jun 04, 2007 (1:03 am)
Hey everyone, I am not super-familiar with customizations so I was hoping to possibly get some advice..   I have a 2004 Endeavor LTD   As everyone probably knows, the center console is crap because it is a one piece cover, which hiders the easiness to replace the audio receiver with something better or newer.   I have a couple of questions:   How much would it cost (generally speaking) to get a new center console cover molding so that I can utilize the 2-dins (I think) that are already being used behind it? I've seen some other pictures of other people that have done mods to their center console; howver, I am finding it hard to ask them. (I went to cardomain.com)   Where can I get a receiver that is SURE to fit? I already went to crutchfield to check out a few things and found some that supposedly fits; however, they also say: "Video receivers with flip-out monitors may not work in this vehicle because of the configuration of the factory dash."   Are there actually 2-dins that I can possibly fill?   How would the center display/clock be affected? I have the Limited version so that center console display is the upgraded version. I also have a 2004 Galant LS, which I was able to switch out the receiver. Will there be an "E Com" message like the Galant and cause problems with the other integrated controls like HVAC and such?   Also, if anyone has any advice, that would be GREATLY GREATLY appreciated!!!
#14 of 32 Engine knock noise? by jojo16 Aug 14, 2007 (2:58 pm)
My 2004 XLS AWD is having a noise which sounds like engine knock. It came from under floor at the speed of 40mph or faster, I fist doubted engine knock but seems nothing to do with the gas pedal position. Does anyone have similar experience? I use premium gas BTW.
#15 of 32 Living with an 07 Endeavor by kodename Oct 09, 2007 (6:22 pm)
First , I wish this site could generate a few more posts! Not much happening either good or bad and no one wants to talk about it? I have a few observations reguarding my 07 Endeavor SE.I wonder if savings was the reason behind the omission of bag hooks in the cargo area and front seat backs? My 2004 LS had them the 07 SE don't. Also my 04 had large rubber blocks mounted on the inside of the rear hatch near the tail lamps , they are missing on the 2007.Lastly , leaving off the side trim did not improve the looks , in fact it had the oposite effect. (I had them installed after purchase) Sadly the hood still uses a prop rod to hold itself open as did the 04. Is there anyone who knows why this was done? The savings don't seem worth it, with Mitsu in the hole, was cutting $5.00 off the vehicle going to save the company?
#16 of 32 Internal GPS by travla413 Nov 03, 2007 (6:54 am)
Got a 2006 Endeavor LTD AWD. Drives great no probs yet. Does anyone know if Mitsu has a GPS module that can fit the console ? Seem to remember salesman saying something about an extra $200 or $2000 to install. I was to happy to drive away. I don't quite remember what he said.   Thanks, travla413   btw: taking her for a run down to North Carolina in 2 weeks looking to see how she performs outside of New York city.

#17 of 32 Mitsubishi Audio system by ohionut Nov 30, 2007 (2:47 pm)
We recently bought a 2007 Mitsubishi Endeavor, largely on the recommendations on this forum. We are happy with most everything except the audio system. Has anyone swapped out the system and were you happy with the results. Any information will be much appreciated. Anne

Replying to: travla413 (Nov 03, 2007 6:54 am) I was looking into the same thing (replacing the stock display with the larger GPS display). I can't get a straight answer out of the dealerships. We have four Mitsi dealerships here in Denver and I asked all four. Three said yes you could, and one said no. I called a Manufacturer line in Illinois and they told me 'no' you can't. So I don't know. My dealer told me I would need to purchse the middle console and a new housing for it - but they didn't know if the wiring would hook up to the existing connector. Nobody knows. Let me know if you've found anything out. Thanks Replies to this message: travla413 (Dec 08, 2007 11:25 pm) shadowtrax (Dec 23, 2007 5:22 pm)

Replying to: shadowtrax (Dec 08, 2007 11:39 am) I got basically the same answers. One dealer said that the option is on 2007-8 models. Nobody knows for sure. However, I did purchase a Garmin Streetpilot 330 and it did the job from NYC to Charlotte , NC and back.. I'll still check into it.   Thanks   travla413 Replies to this message: shadowtrax (Dec 23, 2007 5:22 pm)
#20 of 32 Re: Internal GPS Unit by shadowtrax Dec 23, 2007 (5:22 pm)
Replying to: travla413 (Dec 08, 2007 11:25 pm) I've been searching the various forums on the web and discovered that a handfull of people have customized their center dash (removed the stock stereo and cut a full-sized double din square into their console) to fit a double-din touch screen unit - one that has MP3, Navigation, Bluetooth, Satelite radio, etc. They all have the same story - the custom auto stereo shops (BestBuy, CircuitCity, etc.) tell them it's impossible to do, so they took out their own tools, purchased an extra center console to trial with, and went to town cutting out the square to fit their display unit. I guess most of them cut their own console, cleaned it up a bit, then had the stereo shop add the screen/unit of their choice. The big issue is that nobody wants to do that type of custom work anymore - if there's no specific kit for it, then they don't want to touch it - we're losing the type of folks in this country that are able and willing to think outside the box (no pun intended). The end results look really nice - I printed pictures of five different personal custom installs of this kind from the different forums and took them to my local BestBuy and showed them what any joker can do in their driveway with the right tools (which the install shops have) and asked if they would attempt it - no takers... The biggest question I was not able to get answered yet is if the steering wheel controls still control the custom added deck (volume, song title, switching from radion, CD, custom unit, etc.), and how the Navigation unit worked for them. If anyone has done anything of this nature please post your experience and pics if available, and who worked with you. I like the external Nav units, but removing it from the car every time you stop at the store or work gets tedious (theft issues).
