Back story, I just rebuilt the top of the engine from the head gaskets all the way up. A lot of new parts including new O2 sensors, coil packs, spark plugs, cables, gaskets and more. Cranked the vehicle and it runs beautiful everyday for two weeks. Now for the last week it is throwing codes...

I have been thinking about this route. Do I need to do anything to the transmission or transfer case? I figure there is enough flex to pull the motor mounts and lower it 3 or 4 inches. If I need more than that, maybe I could drop the transmission brace.

I ended up using the 16 mm. I couldn't tell a real difference between the 5/8 and 16 mm. I have found that the impact sockets are the best to use on the heads. The regular sockets are soft and give out after a few head bolts are pulled out.

The extra set of hands would have probably solved this issue from the beginning. It is almost impossible to hold the socket firmly against the bolts as is, but having it shoved up against the firewall as well makes it nigh unto impossible. Thus , where I ended up rounding it.

Yea, this was the best configuration I tried. I will try this again tonight with the bolt extractor on the end of it instead of the 6 point. I have removed the rocker arms already.

So, I am changing out the head gaskets on my 2002 Discovery ii. All of the head bolts broke free except the one closest to the firewall and down next to the manifold. Instead it is such an awkward angle to get the socket in there that I rounded the bolt slightly when the breaker bar and socket...

Light on the shifter does not stay on. I am looking at the fuel door wiring mentioned. The other thing I will look at is the switch on the door because the dome lights do not always turn off when the door closes. I know, I know a dome light will drain the battery if left on. What I mean is that...

No nothing around me like this and besides, I own two of these P38's and the other never gives me a lick of trouble.

Thanks for the input. I will take a look at this.

There are a few rare individuals who love the P38 model. They are like finding a four leaf clover. I have to say as a vehicle, the P38 sure rides nice and the engine has always felt very nicely matched to the transmission. In other words, it seems to have plenty of get up and go and shifts...

I appreciate the thoughts. Alternator bench test is Good, Engine ground is good, Wiring on the back of the alternator connections are rebuilt and repaired. Everything I have looked at wiring wise in that circuit is good. There is one wire on top of the engine which connects into the coolant line...

Alright, I have posted this on eBay with a opening bid of $500 and a buy it now price of $2750. Any takers? The motor and transmission are worth this in parts alone if someone loves the P38 model.

Couldn't have done it without your help.

Issue: Fuse 31 in engine passenger compartment fuse block keeps blowing. Diagnosis and Repair Process: Some may give me issue with the fact that some steps are repeated when it seems as though it is unnecessary. I say, measure twice cut once. Or in this case test twice, plug, unplug, cut or...

This is where I think I am. i can't help but wonder if I am missing some other component or some other relay which might impact this. I pulled the fuse block out and pulled the back cover off to see if there was anything there. Maybe I should have pulled the front cover off as well. I guess I...

You are correct, they sure don't. The thing that boggles me is that I believe I have disconnected all of the relays from the circuit for this fuse. If they are disconnected from the circuit the fuse should not blow until I reconnect them to the circuit. Is there a fuse I am missing and have not...

With the ignition off I have removed fuse 31, I unplugged R214 relay - blower rear connector C0817-2, C0856, C0857, S243 switch air conditioner rear connector C0695-5,C0696, C0055, C1483, M138 the mode fresh/ recirculated air motor connector C0419-1, R176 relay - blower connector C0153-2, C0431...

Thanks this website will be very helpful.
