New Battery, new alternator, on
Yes , this is very common with Mitsubishi. You probably have a blown fuse. On some models the alternator fuse (usually 50-60 amp block fuse) is actually part of the positive battery terminal clamp and is only available from the dealer. On other models the block fuse is under the hood and located in the same box as the fuses (only it is bolted in). If the alternator block fuse blows, your charge light on the dash will not come on and your battery will not charge ( it will go dead while you drive) even though everything is working perfectly. If it is a square fuse held in by to 6 mm bolts you can get one from the auto store for a dollar. If it is a fuse built into the positive battery clamp figure $10-$25 dollars from the dealer. Grab a flash light and inspect your block fuses carefully. Do not be afraid to cut a slot into the cheap block fuse where the bolt hole is, it will save you much trouble putting it in. Sorry about the mechanic selling you a bunch of stuff you did not need.
When i put the key in ignition it has power but when i go to start it nothing happens, not even a click.
Sounds like either the battery has insufficient power to turn the engine over, or solenoid is stuck the starter motor. A quick check for the battery condition is to turn the headlights on for 10 seconds. If they dim very quickly or do not come on at all, then the battery will need a trickle charge. Check the battery indicator if one fitted or remove the tops from the chambers. Please be careful when removing these as battery contain acid and can be very corrosive, depending on battery condition. If headlights stay on for more than 10 seconds suspect solenoid being stuck.
Good luck. S
Orange oil light comes on in mits padjaro
Check your oil, do not run the vehicle until you have that repaired or checked. It could mean no oil is flowing through the engine, A sure ticket to a blown motor if not lubricating.
Why is someone selling me 245/75/16 tires for a 2001 montero sport when that is not the recommended size
Not everyone knows about tires. They can say whatever they like, or sell you whatever they might want to sell. it is up to you to tell them that you want and is the required sized tires for your vehicle.
You can also go oversized tires for your vehicle if you like. As long as they do not rub any areas of the vehicle when installed. That could be dangerous.
Shop around for tires, you want to get the best you can get for the lowest available price. Don't be fooled by some numb nuts that doesn't know a car tire from a bicycle tire.

Check engine light is related to emissions problems.
Easiest (Cheapest) way is take car to big box auto parts store like Auto Zone or O'rilleys ?
They usually plug in and diagnos for free hoping you will buy the parts you need there.
Engine vibration at 2100 rpm and 3100 rpm (over 80 mph)
If the engine is vibrating it will be felt when the revolutions are raised when the vehicle is stationary.
Few engines vibrate in these modern times in the way lots of engines used to do because automatic machinery during production balances to quite a high degree without being subject to the sort of distractions humans suffer.
It is during repair work later that most vibrations begin when someone makes a mistake and fits an odd clutch bolt or even an odd washer that is lighter or heavier than the others or if the engine has had overhaul work and mismatched parts have been fitted or the balance shaft, if it has one, has been mistimed.
If the vibration is not detectable while the vehicle is stationary it is probably originating from elsewhere.
