    Disco 2 cooling mod results

    I'm having the same issue and just ordered the FlowKooler pump. Why use the Dorman 620-602 and trim it vs. 620-112? Anyone change to a FlowKooler pump and stock fan?

    Anyone using Magnaflow cat back #16888?

    I picked up the entire system off the 'Bay from 2 different sellers for $880.00 (16888-$460.00 & 93689-$420.00) Sold the Cats for $220.00 to a scrap dealer online. It is louder than stock but not bad. I had no problems fitting the whole thing. I think the two sellers were liquidating inventory...

    What kind of Battery?

    My Disco sits for weeks at a time and my Red Top is dependable as they come. I can always count on it NOT to start and be dead! I'm on my 3rd one since 09 and just had it on the charger after sittn for 10 days. A total POS! I'm thinking Diehard Marine.

    Electrical Issues / No Dash Lights

    I have used DWeb for numerous things over the years. I feel it was time to give back and share an electrical nightmare and maybe help someone in the future. UPDATE Part 2: So I used a fused jumper and determined that my headlight switch must be bad. I order one up from Will T. and everything...

    Has anyone used these for their DII?

    I used them for the DII. I still had the wiper coming off the windshield. I went with the DI arms from Will T. and Sil Blades. Sil Blades only made a winter season in Chicago. I bought the AB wiper blades. Waste of money! I found success with Bosch ICON and adding SUREWIPE springs. The springs...

    Electrical Issues / No Dash Lights

    I've searched and I'm leaning towards my headlight switch but would like any input DWeb could give. I keep blowing a fuse (F33 - 10AMP) :banghead: when I turn on my parking lights or headlights. I loose my dash lights, front parking lights and RH parking light in the rear. Radio still works...

    Anyone own an American Pitbull/Staffordshire Terrier?

    If your going to rescue a "pit bull" then you need to research a good trainer. A good trainer can assess the dog and put it under the necessary stresses. Shelters only do basic assessment testing for the dogs. If your serious about adopting a powerful breed then you must commit the time and...

    Dealer says my engine is leaking oil because it is synthetic.. BS?

    I run Rotella 15w40 in the cold Chicago winters and have not had any problems. Everything doesn't want to start when it's -30 below :eek: Barrios35: you can pick up some Rotella at Menards. I just picked up a case of gallon jugs for 30.00. I saved the ratings from a while back: Rotella 5W-40...
