    97 D1 - fluttering tick/knock - rockers ?

    The water pump is a brand new genuine unit. I swapped 1500 miles ago as the low rpm chirping just below idle and shut-down started. Same engine tick/soft knock sound was there prior. Alternator i just swapped to a new Denso unit. Nevada dust is tough on bearings. Tend to agree with comments...

    97 D1 - fluttering tick/knock - rockers ?

    Thanks all, For oil I have been running Mobile1 the whole lifetime since '97 with regular changes ~3-4K intervals - 10/40; or 15/50 when I can find it. I will inspect the rocker arms in a few weeks. Not that difficult to inspect. If that checks out, i will look at the cam.

    97 D1 - fluttering tick/knock - rockers ?

    '97 D1 has slowly developed a tick or knock over the past 2 years. My ears are trained to Cummins and VW IDI diesels...hard to discern. I could use a well-trained ear to get a reading if this is the common rocker arm wear out or the dreaded slipped liner. It just completed a 800 mile trip in...

    32" TSLs - ? on front fender trim ?

    With as much articulation I can get with static cross-loading, front tire clearance seems fine. 9/32s are rather skinny, the outer lugs on the tire drive the trimming.

    coolant leak - pretty sure its not the intake.

    Mine was leaking just drips from the WP gasket itself around one of the 3/8 bolts on drivers side. Torqued down and vanished. I later replaced the pump 1 yr later due to the chirping bearing at shut down or low idle.

    Silblade Drop-In for Disco II

    I had a pair of standard sil blades for 5 years F&R with excellent results...no skips on my D1. Worked wonderful along with rainx. I tried a pair of PIAA silicone blades and ditched them after 1 month. All the Bosches I've tried don't take the sun well.
