I just pulled my Champions for a set of NGK BPR6ES that I got at Advanced Auto for about $22.00. It runs better than the Champions that have been on my D2 for about 2-3k miles. The only thing that was a challenge was the SAI pipe that connects to the heads on each side limited the room for the...

My 03' with 54k on it started posting P1141 & 1171 after changing plugs recently. I already changed the wires a year ago. Come to find out the air box was not connected completely to the t-body neck. It was just grabbing with the clamp in full tight position. I just bought the offset socket at...

Follow up with soft spring t-stat Full heat city driving 188.6F No heat city driving 188.6-190.4F Full AC city driving 188.6- 194F Full AC at stop light 197.6F No air at stop light 197.6F It is nice not to hear my fan always starting up when I had the old stock...

Got heat- but I posted the history of the maintenance of our 03' on the flush regarding Cascade hence wanting to try a flush product recommended and gain some insight of my options.

I purchased the PEL500110 from A.B. It's the original radiator with 50910 miles. We got the truck at 4000 miles and had it serviced for the first two years at the dealership but neglected the flush until the last two years. No excuses... it was my wifes SUV at the time and I did not pay much...

Just purchased that exact t-stat and getting ready to install it this weekend. Currently inquiring about a flush treatment. It has green anti freeze in it now but the last guy used tap water with it.

Sorry for the double post- can't figure out how to delete it.

In the process of flushing my radiator in preparation for the A.B. lower temp t-stat. I've read that Cascade is an option but have various opinions- not good for aluminum etc. Has anyone tried Cascade? If so what was the amount that was used? How long did you keep it in the system before...

03' HSE in bad Vin# range-49789 miles. I'm the second owner and bought it w/ 4k miles on it. I just replaced valve cover gaskets, serpentine belt, plugs, wires, intake gasket, SAI solenoid, t-stat, expansion cap changed to Peak Global (green) anti-freeze and Rotella T6 oil change with 49789...

Fixed... whoooweee! Now I only have the driver door and rear door to fix the actuators or have them fixed. After that... I wait for the next breakdown. Life w/a Land Rover.

Update- replaced solenoid... still was flashing P1412/ P1415. Printed pages pertaining to SAI codes and discovered that the wrong harness was plugged into the solenoid. The black harness from the EVAP system purge valve was plugged into the SAI solenoid. I swapped the gray harness and the...

Thanks for the info. I'll start w/the solenoid as it should arrive mid-week. If the codes still come up... next will be the valves. They cost $156.95 at A.B. What is the typical mileage that you start to see problems w/the SAI? I have 49770 miles on mine. I have a friend w/twice my mileage...

How long do SAI pumps last? The reason that I ask is because it's been louder than normal over that past year. Recently changed plugs, wires, valve cover gaskets, intake gasket, serpentine belt and purchased an Ultra Gauge. P1412 & P1415 are now showing. Checked all vacuum lines and ordered...

That's a few good references. Much appreciated!:patriot:

Just moved to Wilmington from Deland, Fl and posted on other forums the same question. Great to finally get some info and recomendations. I was looking at getting the plugs/ wires/ intake gaskets changed out but am going to do it w/my bro-in-law. I have all of the parts. Let me know how that...
