    Cheap Disco: no start, is it still worth it?

    I can't see any reference about the rest of the truck.?How is the frame looks?Suspension,hubs etc.etc. If it is a reasonable body,get a lightly hit truck,switch the powertrain,sell the leftovers.

    How much time do I have before......

    Nooo,this is the bearing,,big time,,,[DII by the way],now I have to figure out how to get that axle nut off[I bought the impact socket for it]. Will the shaft come out with the hub and seized together,or I will be able to separate them??? I can't find details about the nut on my RAVE CD,but if...

    The Intake has to come off,,,get a new gasket before,,,also ,if you want to make it nice,get a throttle body gasket as well[very inexpensive].And further on, think ahead,just in case the plug wire set ready for a change in the near future, better do it while the plenum is off,otherwise you will...

    sorry for the nooblet post- Couple new owner questions

    Loose cable at the throttle,check the settings,. Speaking of better gas mileage,I would say that if you have a good feel of the engine,then you can beat the CC big time.As for me ,I make the Alliston-NYC trip twice,sometimes three times a month,1087mi per trip.

    Rust signs on the roof

    Depends, how long you planning to keep the truck.The reasonable quick fix is use a Dremel machine with a pointy grinder bit ,take off the rust not keeping the tool long on the metal, so you will not heat it up and damage a larger area. Use a drop or two" rust converter "if cant get that, any...
