I just installed a new steering knuckle lower ball joint. I had to removed the dust boot during installation because the tool was a bit too tight. Now I want to clean and repack the ball joint because some dirt contaminated the grease. What I can use to clean and what type of grease to use?

While I am still tracking down the leak, I found mixed opinions on Lucas PS stop leak here. Is this the one that we are talking about? http://www.amazon.com/Lucas-10008-Power-Steering-Stop/dp/B000ARPVNO The Lucas stuff is kind of thick. I have read someone only put half a bottle and it fixed...

Hi guys, I just replaced the coil packs of my 2000 DII with 130K miles. Took out the inlet manifold and used a new gasket. After I put everything back together the engine started right up, but immediately revved like I was giving it full throttle. I switched the engine off before it reached...

I got a new pair of front rotors from a friend who sold his disco. The rotors are purple. Is that normal? I tried to use brake cleaner to clean the rotors but the coating won't come out. The inside of the rotor is a normal silver color. I was told that the rotors are genuine LR and the box...

The driver side exhaust manifold bolts tightened smoothly, I can use my fingers to screw the bolts all the way then torqued them to spec. A few of the passenger side bolts are tight from the beginning, to the point that I can not use my fingers to screw them in and have to use a socket. I felt...

Hi guys, Newbie question again... Need to confirm that 15 lb.ft (20Nm) is a really low torque setting, right? It doesn't take much force to feel the click on the torque wrench?

Newbie question... I need to change my head gasket this weekend. Temperature will be around 32F in the garage. Maybe a little higher when I turn on the protable heater. Will the low temperature cause problem when I put the engine back together? e.g. torque wrench setting etc? Anything...

There are two nicks, one of them looks like a fresh cut but the other one has the same surface texture as the rest of the "dome". Need your opinion before I take it back to the machine shop. Thanks guys! http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/D0-zV8Q0Fvdgzbs99aPdUg?feat=directlink...

Should I leave the piston as it is or should I clean the carbon deposit? I put some engine oil in the surface and wipe it dry while the heads are in the machine shop. It seems like some carbon deposit got in between the piston and the cylinder wall. Would that be a problem? Also how much do I...

Hi guys, Used the search and Rave but couldn't find answer. I have a loud whistle when idling, seems like it is coming from the back of the engine, or near the plenum... I am not sure. I checked the tensioner and pulleys and they seems to be ok. Actually the pulleys were replaced about 1 1/2...

I am getting my front shaft rebuild with neapco greaseable joints in a drive line shop. The rubber seal on the centering ball is cracked and the shop manager found a Spicer replacement. However, the Spicer seal is slightly larger than the original and you can feel a little space between the...

Read a lot about the front drive shaft and I crawled under my DII (2000, 103k miles) to check the drive shaft. I found this front u-joint (see attachment). This is the u-joint near the tranny. From what I read here it seems like this drive shaft is already rebuilt with greaseable u-joint...

2000 DII Are these the hoses for the engine oil cooler and gearbox oil cooler? They look pretty rusty, do I need to replace the hoses?

Help! I did several searches on the board but couldn't find similiar problem. My front passenger door needs an actuator but I cannot unlock the door. The actuator die a couple weeks ago but I could open the door by pulling the handle from the inside. Yesterday when I unlock the truck the...

Hi, My passenger side footwell is wet and I am trying to determine what is the cause. I read it may be the A/C drain tubes getting plugged, but I couldn't find the drain tubes when I was under the truck. I found a rubber thingy on one side of the transmission tunnel but there isn't a tube...
