Hi guys, it has been a while since I posted on the board. My D2 2001 has 112K miles and ACE; it used to have SLS but converted over to OME 2” Kit. I thought I was going to miss the SLS but the coil springs are equal or better. 12 years ago the ACE lines rusted right before the ACE block, my...

Holy cow, I did not realize I had all these replies with useful information. Anyway guys, let me give you a bit more information. While doing the lift the front right (passenger) sway bar link was replaced, my guy told me the old one broke and they had to put a new one. the left (driver side)...

Hi Everyone, I have a Disco 2 2001, ACE with 101K miles. My SLS air suspension gave up and I decided to install an OME heavy duty kit. The truck looks and feels good with a 2” lift. Everything seems to be in proper order and installed correctly, sometimes as I drive around and the truck changes...

I checked for pressure in the reservoir tank it has nothing. The truck still runs like crap but there are no obvious leaks; the temp gauge stays normal, the coolant level is at the mark goes up while the truck is running but after is off goes back to the proper level; and the electric fan seems...

Hello friends, common sense tells me that the radiator is too new to be defective but again anything is possible. Disco Art I am very concerned that could be something inside the engine that is causing the pressurization. My gut feeling tells me that it is something internal, I will ask my...

I thought it could be the thermostat but my guy doesn't believe is that, he replaced all hoses, T-stat, expansion tank and the cap back in may '08 chasing a leak on the overflow tank. The truck was leaking from the overflow hose attached to the tank (which is supposed to do that) but something...

Ok friends here are some updates, I took the truck to my mechanic; when I drove to the shop the truck still felt sluggish. As soon as we opened the hood noticed all upper hoses on the radiator were hard (fat) full of pressure; they looked like they were going to explode. The lower hose was...

Hello there: This is a new one for me; I leave work for a short ten mile trip to pick up something. On the highway I noticed the truck running strange a bit rough, no lights on the dashboard, temp gauge normal but driving different. The truck feels a bit forced. I got home and started to...

I keep thinking that might not be the driveshaft; I am more inclined on a bearing or something else in the area. I will try to get under the truck this coming Saturday. Do you have any suggestions as of what I should be looking for, checking, moving, Etc. I hope is not the transfer case or...

Thanks for your replies, Landdog; after the original failed, eventually it was rebuilt but I didn't trust it anymore, my friend gave another one from a different truck. With the old rebuilt and then the loaner the noise was present. At this time the one on the truck is the third one that he...

Once again I need the input of the LR community; some time ago I posted a message of my problem regarding the replacement of the front shaft u-joins. I have a Disco ?01 with ACE and SLS and 83K miles. Please allow me to fully provide the history on this and to explain the problem to the best of...

Good point JF1; I will double check that, Thanks again

Pdogg... with my luck if I buy a lotto ticket I dont even win the two bucks back from the purchase. MBrummal... I checked the driveshaft and it looks fine to my eyes; I still think there is something out of wack on the DS. No there isn't a hole in the trasmission, the leak is from where the...

I cannot believe my luck!!! So I spoke with my guy and told him I wasn't happy with the driveshaft and that there was something wrong with it. As always he said bring it back and we will fix it. So I figure let me not drive the truck and bring it on Monday. I had my truck parked on my driveway...

In your opinion which kit should I buy the Precision 344s; 617 or the Naepco kit, any preference? I am so nervous about this whole thing that even if the RR u-joins that they installed are ok I still want to replace them. The only problem is that u-join were very expensive. Keep you posted...
