    AC switching and wiring

    Pulled the fuse and relay panel up and checked all wires for any signs of heat or corrosion. All completely clean and in beautiful shape (which was a shock for the mileage and location in central Vermont). So down to something dumb that I can't figure out. Logic would dictate that blowing a...

    AC switching and wiring

    Will do, Meantime did some quality time with the wiring diagrams. I just checked continuity and voltage of the circuits that go from the main relay to the fan and compressor relays on the coil side of the equation and it all checked out. The main relay has to be good or the truck wouldn't...

    AC switching and wiring

    Been fighting some AC issues with a 2002 US D2 v8 without rear air. Anyway, first I discovered a small oring leak at the compressor, fixed that and system ran perfect for say a month. Then it started getting grumpy through the hot part of the summer. It would start sort of randomly and run...

    Starting Issues

    Fuel pump check valve. Fuel pressure regulator. Leaky injector. Check rest pressure between starts. Two or three turns is pretty good for an old truck.

    DI cargo door retainer

    If it pops off the door frame on the body it is a snap ring which you may find lying on the bumper or in the gasket. If the bottom of the door itself you should try to get the thing free of rust and gunk and grease it up. I am in Vermont and I have to take the thing off and clean it up and...

    AC compressor- help!!!???

    Couple reasons the compressor could be vibrating but they all have the same fix. Is your AC still working? If it is just the bearing in the electromagnetic clutch you can replace that. But normally the whole thing is old enough that a rebuilt is a better idea. It isn't a hard thing to replace...

    D2 gas cap issues

    Same here. The plastic distorts when hot into an oval and binds in the threads. Been meaning to take a dremel to it to clean the high spots off.

    Shakes

    Something has to be loose. Either a bearing or a u joint or something in the steering. These trucks are so heavy that ball joints don't cause that sort of vibration. A tie rod could but you said it goes away when you remove the front shaft so it has to be something associated with the front...

    D2 front hubs

    On the other hand I have been buying used ones from the usual subjects and getting marginal life out of them. Not a hard swap. Where the heck in Vermont are you? I am in the people's Republik of East Warren. Love the sig line(s).

    D2 front hubs

    There are a bunch of cheap ($100ish) options for new in box front hubs for D2's on Ebay right now with ABS sensors. I am buying one just because I would like to find out if it is for real or they are junk or don't even fit. Anyone installed on yet and have any time on one?

    DII Center Silencer front connection

    Just put a new Bosal intermediate silencer on due to the old one not passing inspection. Not a bad job except this is a 2002 and has 160k Vermont miles. The fasteners were not recognizable but I had bought a batch of high tensile flange head bolts and nuts ahead of time. The front pipe was in...

    Strange transmission happenings...

    When the trans goes into limp home mode it selects 3rd gear and doesn't shift. So it is good enough to drive it but it loads the torque converter pretty badly. If the fault was the gear selector switch down on the side of the tranny like it was on mine it gets full of crap and you can get...

    Water ingress D2

    Nope, The water drips out no where near there. It comes out generally in the area behind the front mud flaps on our rig. But it wets out a large area as it drips out so it is hard to figure out the source. I saw a picture on another site where they might be under the plastic cowl piece on the...

    Water ingress D2

    Where the heck did you find the other end of the sunroof drains assuming the front. I can't find them and I am not without skills, tools, documentation... The OP's picture is exactly the same thing I have going on. It's the right hand sunroof drains. I can snake them all the way down to the...

    overheating

    Why would the thermostat need to be replaced every year? If it is overheating without the AC on then feel the radiator when running normally. You can normally tell if it is warm across it's entire surface area. If you coolant is not being consumed then go after what isn't flowing air or water...

    O2 sensor connector

    Zoiks! I can see a little bit of the sensor side connector. Can't even see what the other one looks like let alone where the plastic tab is on that side... I guess I gotta get the truck higher in the air and get the mirrors out and the dental picks. Nice design feature.

What the heck was rover thinking when placing that connector. Sheesh! One little place to get your arm up to the elbow next to the driveshaft flange...

    Bosch O2 sensors are shit...

    Put Bosch in my audis, numerous audis, no problems ever. Even the spliced in kits. Put any O2 sensor I can get on ebay in the Disco 2 and no problems so far.
