Not a huge fix when I had to do it with my '99 Disco. Wife's 2008 LR2 emitting medium squeal when heat/AC is turned on. Fairly sure there's a fan/motor in there somewhere as the root cause - sound goes away with fan off or with a little mechanical agitation to the dashboard. Any idea's how to...

Yep - been there. Spent the day pulling the battery cable while troubleshooting other issues until I figured out it was the CDL.

Thanks! No intention to make any money. The instructor said it would save a lot of time and reworking for a welding noob to have dimensions/specs in hand before I begin.

Ah... thanks for the clarification. I noticed the shape. Wife actually once commented that she thought we bent the truck out on the trail.

Thanks for the input. Ryan - The clean look of your bumpers is exactly what I'm after. Keep in mind I have no welding experience but access to piles of steel. My forte is electrical. I expect my first x attempts to look like turds. As for sliders... rolled = ?

The title sums it up. I'm taking a welding & fabrication course and am looking for any plans or drawings others may have and are willing to share. Thanks in advance.

[SOLVED] '99 DI - Cranks but wont start - 115k miles Finally had decent enough weather to do some work. I was baffled that I could hear the pump prime but had no pressure at the rail. I thought clogged filter or line was the culprit. I replaced the fuel filter to no avail so I pulled the fuel...

Will do - thanks for the advice. Have a trail run on the 30th at the wilds (thewilds.org) that I'd rather not miss.

Didn't think of that... bought the prescribed filter from Fram. I have a bag or misc fittings. If those don't work, I'll go after one like yours. The OEM filter from the dealer is $58.

Unknown. Purchase 9k miles ago. By the looks of it... quite some time. As for the cap, I will give it a try. Should it start without it. Had a no start issue once before when I first got it and noticed I forgot to put the cap on. Screwed the cap on and started right up.

I encountered many of the same issues in my '99 D1 and ended up bypassing the stock circuit and running a new circuit, replacing the amp and head unit. I removed the rear door panel and subs and am replacing it with aluminum diamond plate (Idea I borrowed from a friend). I replaced the subs with...

I've heard several stories of inoperative cruise control systems. Could it be related to the turn signal relay? While out on the trail recently I busted my turn signal stalk so I'm stuck making left hand turns. I removed the signal relay and the cruise stopped working. If I put the relay back...

Updates: Again, I can hear the pump priming when the key is at pos2. Test lamp across the pump connector indicates power during the priming period. Fuel pressure gauge shows no (zero) pressure when priming or when cranked. Given this scenario, I'm curious if a clogged filter, fuel line freeze...

PT - emailed you about a replacement pump.

In case someone chimes in... I'm going to verify the lack of fuel pressure tonight by check at the rail with a gauge. PT - I can see you're the man to ask in these situations. If you say fuel pump then I'm going to pick one up tomorrow. Besides, can't hurt to replace it given the mileage. For...
