    I find this odd

    When I start up the disco alt only puts out 12.5v then steadily goes up to 13.7 and tach kicks in. It's a new M-M and battery is new. Another thing is when I turn on headlights it kills tach for a min or so and I do need to replace a bulb but wouldn't think this would affect the alt. Maybe some...

    This may be a stupid washer fluid question but.....

    I can find info anywhere. Does the rear window run off of front reservoir or is there a rear one I can't find. I did a search and look in the RAVE. Shows front one but no rear so I assume it doesn't exist or I just didn't look in the right spot.

    Anyone ever have the belt put shavings all over engine compartment ? I just put on a new one and it seems it getting shaved somewhere but it rides in the center of all the pulleys. I also took it off and checked to see if tensioner pulley was loose/wobbling(had it happen on another vehicle) but...

    This might be a stupid alternator question....

    but to me it's called learning. As you add load to your alt. is the voltage supposed to drop. I know my reman is shit and have a new m-m on it's way but I was playing under the hood today and at no load it reads 13.7 but as I added the heater fan it went to around 12 then lights it dropped to...

    Need help with electrical gremlin

    Long story short I needed to replace alt. and battery. Now the new alt. didn't work so I had it tested and it was fine but guy at NAPA gave me another new one that was also tested fine. It's only putting out around 12v instead of the 13.7v I read on here. I put the new one in and started disco...

    Where to measure alternator output

    Do you do it on the back of it ? I assume that would be the best but figured I'd ask to be sure. Mine went last week and took the battery with it and I just want check it. Also how much should I read on the meter ?

    Yes, more questions

    I'm headed up to Cape Cod and will be getting the oversand permit and wondering should I run in 4H with CDL locked or 4L without it locked. I'm getting new BFG A/T T/A KO's and will air down to 10-15 psi. #2 I think my cruise control isn't working. I engage the master switch and hit set but...

    Are the 4.0 motors reliable and tire/lift ??

    I found a 96 RR with 140k on it. Should I be worried about the motor ? I know it all depends on maintenance but do they have a good track record ? Also can I put bigger tires on it without rubbing issues. I won't be off roading it hard but want to get rid of the grocery getter look. Can I put a...

    What's the average miles for the 4.0 in the RR

    I found a 96 RR with 140k for $4200. It looks good in the pics but I'm a little hesitant about mileage. This won't be a primary vehicle. More of a weekend family road trips. I know it depends how it was taken care of but on average how long do those motors last ? Also how hard is it to put a...

    I know this isn't a technical question but need input

    I saw a 99 Disco at a used car dealership. I call the guy and he wants $6995 with 105,000 on it. It looks very clean and he said he put $2k into it ie: valve cover gasket, tranny gasket and had sun roof rebuilt and other things. It's got brand 4 new BFG AT and paint is flawless as well as...

    Opinions on this 98 RR

    98 RR 4.0SE with 109,000 for $5500. The ad says SRS light is on. What is that ?? Is this a good model year or does it have a lot of problems. If I go look at it is there anything specific I should check. This would be our second family vehicle to keep miles down on wife's car. Pete

    I'm getting mad

    All the RR in my area are high priced, high mileage vehicles. I don't mind the mileage but I don't want to over pay for it. I just want one for some off road/beach buggy use. People around my area use them as a status meter and not what they are meant for. Frustrating to say the least. Damn...
