    Slow drain on battery 1996 D1 SD

    When its dark check if you can see any light coming out of your glove box. My glove box light was not shutting off and draining my battery.

    4.0 slipped liner?

    IIRC the casting numbers weren't too far apart for a few of us that had it happen. I think mine happened after I blew that small tapered hose and it got hot. The piston skirt was busted too but the original head gaskets looked good.

    Camshaft wear opinions

    I put a break in write-up another user shared with me that might be helpful in the tech section. https://discoweb.org/index.php?threads/cam-shaft-break-in.94727/

    I’d be interested in anyone’s opinion on tires to go on terrafirma 16x8 wheels? Would like an aggressive look but mostly to be used streets.

    I loved my old Cooper STTs. You might check out I put on Mastercraft Courser MXTs. They are nearly the same tread as the old STTs and made by Cooper. I got a set off Amazon (245/75/16) for ~$600. So far I like them but they aren't quite as good in the winter, I think the rubber compound may be...

    Tailgate won't open from inside or outside

    Thanks for putting that together! I'm sure it has saved a lot of people a lot of time over the years.

    Tailgate won't open from inside or outside

    I used that write-up to put together a post in the tech guide. I noticed the pictures were back with the new site update.

    Probable Cracked Block... Who do you buy your engines from?

    I wish I would have known this when I did mine. If you go the used block route you might think about having the liners pinned. I'm wishing I would have now.

    fireproof/resistant containers

    Something different to think about might be an old freezer. When I was a teenager we had a barn fire and had one of those old 60s (guessing) upright freezers with the huge locking handle full of meat inside. The freezer made it thorough the fire and the inside was untouched. I know fires can be...

    Tires, Tires, Tires

    Drive it for awhile and see how you like it compared to your old lift and take it out a couple times and see if it's good enough for you before you lift it. Most of the dirt mine has seen was on the stock springs and it always did really well but I remember how nice that extra 2" was once I got...

    1997 D1 Sputtering/Stalling

    How's your fuel pressure? I was having similar symptoms with low idle a couple weeks ago when my pump was going bad.

    Master Cylinder?

    I got a better look today and there’s quite a bit of fluid on the fitting below the master cylinder so I think it must be leaking. I didn’t check the caliper pistons after seeing that but I don’t think it would be a problem since rust usually isn’t an issue here.

    Master Cylinder?

    The last couple days I noticed my brakes are softer than normal. The brake pedal is now going down below the gas pedal but doesn't feel like when I've had air in the brakes from repairs in the past. The fluid was low but I didn't see any obvious major leaks but did see a tiny bit of old dry...

    Wise minds of dweb I summon thee

    If you get a set of heads from Will you could do this over a weekend. It's really not that bad of a job if you are prepared. I will loan you my In Search of the Experience DVD with the head gasket tutorial if you send it back. I would definitely double check the valley gasket more...

    Thanks for the suggestion but it was the fuel pump.
