    D2 Aftermarket Y-Pipe install

    Fixed the broken stud, much easier than I was expecting. Going to try this again, when loosening or removing the manifolds, does anybody recommend replacing manifold gaskets? I've done it before with the manifold in place mounted to the y-pipe, not a hard job, but not fun either, just curious...

    D2 Aftermarket Y-Pipe install

    I'm in the middle of replacing the Y-Pipe on my D2 and ran into some issues with leaks. I bought an aftermarket one on ebay, comes in two pieces with the mate between the two halves done with a clamp. I went this route because I thought it might actually give me a slight bit of adjustment if...

    Who is using 20W50 on their D2 V8?

    I'm debating going to 15w-40 for summer. I tried the Mobil-1 0w-40 this past winter because of the higher zinc content. I've had the truck for 18 years and 108k miles, used Mobil-1 for the past 15 years and she runs great still, no ticking. She does leak though. I don't put many miles on it...

    Discovery 2 Chirping Pulley

    Bled the system again, seems to be fine now. Heat is piping hot and she's running around 190-194 which is a little higher than before when it would settle at 188.6 but it still may need some topping off.

    Discovery 2 Chirping Pulley

    I was actually surprised, the water pump wasn't that bad of a job other than removing the old gasket. I put about 1000-1500 mikes a year in this thing so if I get 5-10 years (if I still have the truck). I'm game for trying it. I've used a lot of britpart stuff on my 67, but every job on that...

    Discovery 2 Chirping Pulley

    I have to admit to buying a Britpart pump, not genuine. I put so few miles on the truck that I figured I try it. I don't think it's the pump though, this pump may not go another 100k, which I'll never come close to putting on it anyway, but it should work. I have an OBD2 scanner on my dash...

    Discovery 2 Chirping Pulley

    Didn't check lower hose, did some reading, hoping this is air in the system, was fine before the pump replacement. Temp got up to 210 when I shut it off. I knew something was wrong once it got into the 190s never gets that's hot unless sitting. Going to let it cool and try bleeding the system...

    Discovery 2 Chirping Pulley

    New water pump fixed the noise but now the truck wants to overheat. Never done that before. Also, tried turning heat on, but no hot air. Must be related, could it be air in the system? System is pressurizing, hoses are hot so coolant is flowing. I'm at a loss On this one

    I've got a water pump and viscous fan clutch on the way. The sound has gotten progressively worse over the past few months and I know that pulley wasn't like that when I did the belt, so maybe under tension the pump bearing is the source of the noise.

    I'll get a pic of it later, but it's routed right. PS pulley turns smooth but not easy. Should it turn freely like the AC compressor or water pump? Water pump pulley has about 1/8" of play up and down but turns smooth and quiet. I might have found a water pump ready to fail, but I don't...

    Worth a try, but the belt is new, maybe a thousand miles on it. Waiting for a little warmth then I'll dig into again

    Discovery 2 Chirping Pulley

    My AC compressor pulley moved pretty freely. I need to check the ps pump and the water pump, but I will probably replace the two idlers, cheap and easy to do.

    Discovery 2 Chirping Pulley

    I'm trying to verify which idler pulley is which. I believe the one just below the tensioner is PQR500060 and the one between the AC and PS pump on driver side is PQR101150K

    That's my hope, the one right between the AC and PS. How free should the power steering pump oulley spin by hand?

    Discovery 2 Chirping Pulley

    Truck has a chirping sound getting progressively louder. Did the screwdriver trick, sounded like the tensioner pulley, but no dice when I replaced it, luckily that's a cheap one. Could be one of the idlers but it really sounds like the AC compressor. The only thing is that the AC works and...
