Ive been having this thud/clunk/bump sound from my front end when going over bumpy roads. i thought it was my suspension or front end somewhere, but everything ive found is tight and solid without play. After a long time trying to find it, Ive noticed that when i put my arm out the window...
Nope nothing aftermarket.
I hooked up the battery again last night and I’m going to check the voltage everyday for the next few days and see what is happening as it sits there. I just had spine surgery so I can’t drive for a month now... good time to play with this :) the girl friend just gets...
I usually drive my disco every day, but last week it sat for 5 days and when I jumped in to start it the battery would just barely turn the engine over.
This week I decided to look into the battery drainage.
The alternator is good and regulates, I?m 100% sure of that. (Although I?ve heard the...
I’m not sure, look on their website.
My front output shaft seal (transfer case) started puking oil out today all over exhaust. Makes for a stinky ride. New flange seal kit on order.
i got the new water thermostat in tonight.
before temps:
idling - 212-215
coast down hill - 203-205
average driving - 217-221
after temps:
idling - 190-195
coast down hill - 183-186
average driving - 188-195
thats a huge improvement imo..
FYI it was a motorad thermostat that WAS in the car...
hehe, 2 days in a row no dash lights!
However,
i decided to order a new waterpump today. ill throw that in with the thermostat this week if its here on time. with the engine running so much cooler in low range gears and high rpms, im convinced my high(er) temps are also due to low volume water...
I did about 100 miles today on gravel roads. Not one dash light or code came up!!
I still have not received my new gas cap or tstat.
I cleaned the existing gas cap and filler area well today and clicked it on tight about 20 times. No Evap codes yet. Im confident it ls the fuel cap. If the code...
abs, about 4" from the sensor. seemed to be hitting the backside of the tire and was abraised through. i tied it saftely out of the way now. there was no extension piece in that i could see
thanks for the advice.. its has a 2" terrafrima lift in the truck before i bought it. not sure about the extensions.. ill look into that this evening when im in there.
I did the b mod to the shuttle valve today. took 1.5 hrs to do start to finish.
drove away, firstpot hole i hit on the road and 3 amigos plus parking brake light on. wtf!!!!
read the codes. at least its a new one. 66 - front left sensor

interesting day today in the back country.
1) i found that when cruising at 20mph or less:
low gear range - 2000rpm - 203-206F engine temp
high hear range - 1000-1500 rpm - 215-217F
i guess higher rpms = faster fan and more water being pumped & the engine is not working as hard.. seems logical...
I went to pull the rad out today, took the top shroud off and bam! New(er) rad already in there from 2016. That just made my night, got my 320$ back for the new rad I ordered and didn’t have that job to do. So I started drinking beer and got my vhf radio installed into the overhead console.
My...
Alright.. update.
abs amigo reader arrived. shuttle valve is the culprit. will be doing the "b" mod to it in the next couple weeks once some other things are done.
-new rad arrived today
-viscous fan clutch seemed strong via. the rolled-up paper test. will not replace at this time.
-new...
