Been down that road too, haha. The radiator shop here sucks. I had a good one in LA. The one here has given me a radiator back that leaked like a sieve.
I’ve been down this road enough times with defenders that I’m going to go with what I know definitely works. My wife’s d1 has one of those aftermarket fan clutches that is locked up 90% of the time. I’m done with that.
Just had my wife’s D1 run hot for the first time after idling for 10 minutes in near 100F weather. Hopefully Ron Davis Radiators makes a replacement for the D1 like they do for Defenders.
I don’t know why anyone would go through all that work and leave it a 4 speed transmission. I use a 6L80 or AX15 if the customer wants a manual. We’re redoing an LS swap another shop did with the NV4500. That shifts like crap in my opinion.
