Had a recent episode with my D1. I currently run 2 optima batteries with a Hellroaring isolator/combiner. On 2 occasions, I started the truck - tach and spedo dead. The first time it was a cool (<50 degree) morning, the second time it was warm. I thought my alternator was dead, but I had to...

The inertia switch to the hazard lights on my '96 disco seem to be becoming more and more sensitive to bumps. It used to take a pretty good whack to get them going, now all I need is a washboard road or sometimes even a manhole cover in the street. I did a search and found an old thread aboiut...

All, A link to a very good thing in the land use arena. Everyone should sign up. http://host593.ipowerweb.com/~access-a/backcountry_petition/ BTW, it just hits me that there is no land use/advocacy forum on the D-web. ?????

Anyone have any good trail/camping info for a northwest NM trip? Have 2 weeks in September to spend there and in the 4 corners area.

Axles in very good condition. Never used with lockers. $60 each

Just got finished changing rotors and pads on my '96 Disco. Seemed a little strange that the rear pads were worn more than the front. Probably 50% more worn. Has anyone else had this experience? All pads have the same mileage. Does a D1 have a brake proportioning valve that I'm missiing? I...

Getting ready to pull the hubs for new rotors and wheel bearings. What size hub socket do I need? I'm told 2 1/16 inch by a local rover mechanic, but can't find it anywhere. Nearest thing I can find is a 54mm (2 1/8). Thanks

I'm putting D-II fender flares on my D-1 to allow for trimming/tire fit. Looking for tips on good adhesive. I searched the tech section article on doing this, and only got "industrial strength adhesive". Anyone with any experience here? Thanks

My winter project for the D1 is upgrading brakes. I've looked at DBA, EBC, and have now found a local distrubuter (Denver) for Power Slot rotors and Axxis pads. The rotors look alot like the EBC's (slotted and dimpled), but are cadmium plated instead of anodized (they claim "military spec" for...

I'm looking at a winter project for my D1. This year its a brake upgrade. I'm considering either the EBC rotors and pads, or the DBA rotors. Anybody with any comments on which is better? Also, for you DBA users, what pads are you using (I'm most concerned with off road use)? How about...

I'm probably gonna feel stupid, but I cannot find the correct name/function of this component in any of my books. Whatever it is, it has started "clicking" about 2 minutes after engine startup. (sounds almost like a valve). I'd appreciate the help.

I think that my rear T-case output bearing is going south. Has anyone changed one of these? Seems pretty straight-forward - just looking for pitfalls and tips before I start.

OK - heres my problem. Sharp vibration coming from transfer case when torque is released. Most notably going downhill at highway speeds. Vibration goes away when torque is re-aplied. I've isolated to transfer case by individually removing drive shafts. Sounds like the T-Case Idler shaft to...

Just posting this because its something that shouldn't happen, and others may want to check on their trucks. I'm driving my 96 D1 down the road the other day, step on the brakes, and the pedal fades completely to the floor. The brakes pump up, then pedal fade again. Master cylinder seals...
