Just do the head gaskets... You've already serviced or replaced every other system on this truck. Stick it in the garage and do it as time permits. Head gaskets are considered routine maintenance on these trucks.

Doh! Sorry to hear it. Did the water pump seize up and the belt snapped, wiping out the fan? Might be just a new pump, belt and fan to fix it. Damn... just beat me

Done deal. Thanks!

I have two pairs of rear disco I Springs available. Both are brand new and whichever you don't want, I'm installing in my truck. OME disco I medium rear springs ome 761 Or Terrafirma heavy rear springs for disco I. Both are for 2" lift. I'll take $100 shipped for either pair.

Thanks, I'll take a look. Don't feel like buying a special tool for it. It's like a 5 sided allen key or something odd.

Anyone know what bit I need to remove the factory D1 tape deck? I want to splice the wires right from the harness instead of downstream cutting into the big cable and hoping I don't screw it up. Thanks!

Sorry to dig up this zombie thread.. Has anyone gotten an Engine light after replacing the LR pump with the chevy in a AEL Disco? My 97 Disco died in traffic yesterday. Just stalled out and refused to start. Cranked fine. My 97 has the AEL and is giving me 10psi at the fuel rail when...

Thanks for the clarification. I'll take a look into welding on a tab or an angle for a third mount through each frame rail.

Yes, I saw that. Thanks

I did not buy this bumper new. Fell into a ridiculous deal on craigslist for this including a pair of Hella 770's. It didn't come with hardware and I wasn't going to argue. I doubt you'd pass on this bumper for the price I got it for despite any issues you may have towards the company.

I'll take a look at it tonight. I remember just reusing the bolts from the stock bumper temporarily since I wasn't installing the winch yet. When I install the winch it will all be replaced with appropriate hardware.

I've had the exact same issues as you on my 97. And when it does finally start up, it ran rough and a bit of unburnt fuel in black smoke comes out until it clears itself up. It only happens when I've been driving for a while, shut it off, then try to start it up again. I haven't thrown any...

Awesome. Thanks for the info. I have no problems cutting up the truck, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Did you add any bolts to your bumper aside from the 4 crush can bolts to stiffen it up? I'm swapping out the stock bolts for some beefy grade 8's but even with...

Yes Sir. Right away. I'll go buy a jeep.
