BUMP. Any closure on this issue?

Scott: I really appreciate the response. I wil take pics and attempt to do a tech write-up; according to my manual it seems like an easy repair, I really hate the other hang-ups the manual doesnt reveal...my light stalk is doing the cold weather thing also...I wil put grease in mine and report...

Tried an extensive search of threads: what is the procedure to replace this switch? Any special tools to remove steering wheel? Thanks

still watching/waiting for the answer. closure on these threads is very nice...

Craig, thanks for the update, im tempted to head out and hike around again...

What consideration do we give to the fuel pressure regulator valve?

very easy job which just takes time and a bit of bolt loosener. I can post a few pics but i think they are too big... you might want to consider new rotors, pads, while doing this repair. Good luck. -Ryan

I did the 4.0 to 4.6 swap exactly 1 year ago. NO ECU change, NO reprogramming needed. Upon start up the engine idled up to about 6000 RPM and then backed down automatically in 5000 RPM increments untill she idled around 900 RPM. Very satisfied with the swap. Easy install with just a few...

Im planning to "jackstand" my rig while I examine the axles, and order new ones. Unless I get talked out of it, I plan to order used oem axles as rovertracks.com are out of stock in the HD versions. I'll wait on the Tru-Trac. Qurstions: 1. Will I need any special "land-rover tools" (LR90210abc)...

Troubleshot the axles last night: raised each wheel independantly. Rear: High-lock, 1st gear, Ebrake ---> no spin on either wheel Front: High-lock, 1st gear, Ebrake ---> each wheel spins Front differential fluid is clean and green, no metalic shrapnel: My diff is ok? 1. So at present, if Im...

Interesting point about the silent broken rear axle. there is no drive-train noise when I road test in low/high-lock...I will do more troubleshooting tonight and report back. Thanks again for everyone's time and expertise.

P M, Keeping in mind I have the 5-speed Manual transmission (R380). How would I place this vehicle in PARK? -Ryan

Troubleshooting '96 LT230 Transfer Case vs Axle Failure Need some help here; after doing a search I do not have a good grip on what could be going wrong: THE EVENT: Recovering a 4x4 using kinetic strap from my front recovery point to the person's rear recovery poing and backing out in...

Screw the 4.0 and install a 4.6! I did that just this past summer and the power increase is outstanding. I procured a 4.6L from roverparts.com. good luck.

If you really want to tow a load I think you need a 4.6L. Which does yours have (4.0 or 4.6L) otherwise I would consider a Ford Excursion with the 6.2L Powerstroke.

Im VERY curious what they did to the harness. I did absolutely nothing to my harness except clean the contacts and have only one error code related to the O2 sensor (but that is my fault as i got mean with them on the swap.)

A slipped liner (which DII's are prone to) is a labor intensive job. Did you have the heads resurfaced/remachined when replacing the gaskets? Consider a new/used engine. I just replaced mine with a 4.6 and am completely thrilled with the performance... everything matches fine especially if the...

I recently finished dropping a 4.6 into my DII: TIPS: 1. Take off the intake! Much easier to maneuver and replace the wiring harness. Very easy to replace. 2. Consider cleaning up or replacing the metal gaskets between the plenum and manifold. 3. Be sure the ignition pack bracket doesn't get...

TIPS: 1. Take intake off as the wireing harness is much easier to reconnect. 2. You might consider cleaning up the metal gaskets a bit. 3. Rocker covers arent a big deal, leave 'm on. 4. Leave a shop clothe over the intake manifold to avoid dropping anything down in there. 5. make sure the...

Oh yeah, for sure smooth out the surfaces... i start with a 100 grit and taper down to 300 and steel wool for a nice clean fit.
