    ABS Amigo near Asheville

    Anyone in or near Asheville, NC with an ABS Amigo? My son has my old '04 Disco and the 3 amigos just came up (no history of this problem with the truck). Hoping to find the codes to see what faults are present to start figuring it out. His ODB II scanner won't do it. Not sure if it is...

    Oily Intake Plenum?

    I just replaced the alley gasket on my 04 DII due to a coolant leak. Got everything back together and now I'm getting codes (0130, 0150, 0174, 1174). Cleared those out, looked for vacuum leaks, missed connections and cleaned the O2 connections. Still getting 0130 and 0150 within a few miles...

    Relay getting HOT

    I noticed this weekend that the relay under the passenger side dash that controls the aux fans on the radiator when the a/c is turned on gets VERY HOT on my 95 D1. Actually my son found out when his toe touched it. I had replaced the relay some time ago as I had an issue with the relay...

    Recurring O2 Codes

    Stong Smell of Fuel from Rear

    My '95 D1 has started having an issue with venting gas fumes. The fuel tank was replaced with the newer type 5 or 6 years ago as a part of the recall. Now after I have driven her the tank seems to be highly pressurized and there is a strong smell of fuel a the back of the vehicle when I park...

    Death Wobble - '04 DII

    This truck is driving me crazy right now. Have the wobbles at 50mph as posted on another thread a couple of weeks ago. Changed out the ball joints with RTE rods and ends and it was much better but they are now back. Rotated tires, now worse, going to try a different rotation. But the issue...

    '04 Woes

    I'm a bit stumped and frustrated with the '04. About 2 months ago had code issues, resolved those with a vacuum leak in the SAI and bad O2's. Ran great, no issues until last week. Freaking SES again. Code points to the EVAP purge valve. No problem, replace that, the gas cap and addressed a...

    DII Steering Pr-load?

    Can someone tell me the correct pr-load for an '04 DII? Mine has developed the dreaded wobbles at 50 MPH. The ball joints look good with no unusual movement, same with the panhard and bushing. I want to check the pre-load as I have to take the wheels off to see if rotating them makes a...

    DII Throwing Codes, Now What?

    My '04 has finally decided to give me a challenge. At just shy of 75K she started idling very rough and the SES light came on. Had the codes pulled and got - P0150, P1174, P1415 and P0174. Gas mileage is in the single digits :eek: . I can smell the rich un-burnt fuel at idle and there is a...

    Swivel pin rebuild

    After procrastinating for several years I finally got the parts out of the box and decided to tackle a re-build of the swivel pins on the old "pig" ('95 D1). My front tires are shot due to the front wheels splaying out with the camber being way out. Worst on the drivers side. I'd never...

    2004 U-Joint Rebuild - help needed

    Well I undertook pulling the front shaft and removing the u-joints on the 2004 DII. After 73K I figured it was needed. Only the 2nd time I've done u-joints so it is a PITA learning experience. I got all the joints out but I need help with 2 questions. 1) what is the best tool/way to remove...

    Wheel Well Rust - 90 RRC

    I need some opinions here. I'm looking at a 90 RRC that is about 2 hrs away. The owner is open about the issues and took some detailed photos under the vehicle. The one area she told me about that concerns me is the attached photo. It's the only area of major rust, from the other photos it...

    2004 - Stumbling, loosing power

    My '04 DII began running very rough this morning, idling poorly and initially stumbling when trying to accelerate. By the time I dropped my son off as school 4 miles away it was much worse. It got to the point that even at hwy speed it began to stumble and buck a bit and then the service...

    '89 County

    I'm going to go take a look at an '89 County for sale. I need to add to the collection, (actually it would be for my oldest daughter). I've got two discoveries (95 & 04) and I'm somewhat familiar with the RRC but what problem areas do I need to focus on? I know the rear lift and floor pans...

    Sticky Gears

    I've got a '95 D1 with a manual. It's got 117K on the clock, the original clutch replaced around 70K. The current clutch feels weak (top of the pedal before engages) but does not slip. With the cold temps though the gears have gotten very "sticky", particuarly out of 1st and into 2nd. By...

    Help needed - doors locked, keys inside

    I managed to lock my keys in my '95 D1, both. Yes I'm still cursing how I did this. :banghead: I'm in a small town so there aren't many LR's around. My question is will a locksmith be able to get into the truck easy enough without problems? I'm thinking the D1 is simple enough that it...

    Aux Fan Relay Issues

    I've got an issue with the relay to the auxillary fans on my '95d1. The relay was intermittently clicking on/off rapidly when running around town, not on the highway, not at idle. The fans activate and then shut down. This occurs without the AC on ,they worked as usual with the AC on. I...

    Code won't clear

    I'm having trouble clearing a code 48 from my 95 d1. I had previously cleared it and cleaned the stepper motor and the idle improved but the code came back later. So I just replaced the stepper motor but the code will not clear. I've followed the instructions in the tech section as before but...

    Starter issue

    I've got a '95D1 with 110K and today the starter finally gave me an issue. I went to restart the truck and only got a "click". It was clearly from the starter area. a few taps on the starter with a hammer and it fired up. I just went back out to see if it would restart and got the same sound...
