Daughters DII had a low battery, just clicking when I tried to start it. Put the charger on it and charged the batt, went to open the door and got a fast click from the lock area, now its not responding to the fob to open at all. When i did get it open it would not start, thinking it might be...

I'm going to do the head gasket job in my 97 DI and I'm wondering if I should also have the heads machined while I'm at it. It has 142K and has been very well maintained. I do not know for sure if the head gaskets have been done or not so I figure better to be safe than sorry. Will it be obvious...

I've got the stuttering under acceleration problem that seems to be fairly common. The concensus is that it is caused by either the VSS or the TPS so I think I'll replace both.

My 97 SD 5 Speed-4.0 is stuttering slighty under acceleration. It is not consistant and does not loose full power, just a stutter for a second or two. I have not found it to occure at a certain speed not is it a regular thing. From my search it looks like it might be the thottle position sensor...

Looking for some seat covers for a 97 DI, I've heard Escape Gear are well made but I can't find a source in the USA. Any other good choices? The 97 has cloth, manual seats. I would like something in tan and waterproof.

My DI was missing the dip stick and tube when I got it. I've found a dip stick and a tube but I think the tube is too long as the oil only reads on the very tip of the stick.

Odd request, I know...I have a feeling either the dip stick I have is too short or the tube is too long as my dipstick only reads oil on the very tip. My 3.9 did not have a dip stick or tube when I bought it-the engine was a fresher unit and I can only guess the stick and tube where left on...

My father in law found a 69 Buick Riviera in Clearwater Fl that he wants to have. Since the man knows nothing about cars nor does he have a garage I think this is a BAD idea but I'm keeping my mouth shut. If he is going to do this I want to have the car looked over by a trusted mechanic. It's...

This light popped up on my 94 yesterday, just normal driving. I don't have an owners manual so I'm not sure of its for the trans or the transfer case. I'm guessing one (or both needs) fluid and will add to both but I wanted to know what the light means.

Won a gift cert to Camel4x4 at Uwharrie Safari (woot) so now I'm trying to decide what to get. I've got some factory HD springs for the DI coming and thought some new shocks would be in order so....how are these shocks? I'm guessing Camel/Ironman doesn't actually make these, are they re-badged...

My rear door does not shut all the way and I am trying to adjust it so that it will. I have moved the post as far forward as I can but it hardly made any difference. The catch block is not hanging up in it's receiver and I can't see anything blocking-so what's next? The gap is worse on the...

The drivers seat of my 94 DI is beat and I just found out the cloth seats from an XD that came with it will not fit so I need at least a nicer drivers seat. I currently have tan leather manual seats. If having it reupholstered is a better/less expensive option let me know.

Working on the DI today and tried to get the front seats out. I've got a set of XD cloth seats to go in. I am trying to unbolt them from underneath the sliders. I tried sockets, nut drivers but could not get anything on those bolts. What size are they and what's the trick to get them off?

The outer channel of my cargo floor has rust from the rear to about 1/3 up toward the back seat. The rust is from the top and had to be from leaking windows/sunroofs that was left unchecked by the former owner(s). I've had trouble getting anyone to tackle this and not being a welder I was kind...

I made the trip to Pittsboro yesturday to see if Blackwoods had the Filson duffle I wanted in stock-catalog is on backorder and everywhere else was sold out. Not only did htey have but it was 20% off! The sale is 20% off all Filson (except footwear) and 25% off Barbour clothes and outerwear...

As I read the threads about Disco's I've noticed a common source of trouble is the sunroofs. My DI has them and I'd like to know if there is a way to deal with them so I don't have to worry about them. Can they be disconnected and sealed or is that just not possible?

I have a leaking injector so I was going to go ahead and do them all. I order some Ford Racing 19# injectors but just got refunded as they are not in stock-seems to be the story everywhere. I have emissions testing in my county although I'm not totally sure a 94 is subject but I'll find that...

I pulled the carpet and pad on my new to me DI and found rust (shocker I know...) It's pretty bad along the outer edges and is through the steel from the rear corners about 1/2 way up. I'm not a welder although I'd like the learn but I know I would not be able to handle this so I was thinking of...

I made the stupid mistake of getting the code to see if the radio worked in my new to me DI that I picked up Sunday. Now it's beeping and won't stop when I shut her down. Other than ripping the damn thing out is there another fix?
