Gosh, I hope I don't have to change the radiator. Here's an update: I bled the system as per instructions gathered in this forum (got the passenger's side on a ramp, loosened the bleed screw by the T connection located at the top of the fan shroud, opened the expansion tank, poured coolant...

what is the process for bleeding the coolant system on this engines, this morning I saw a puddle of coolant underneath the truck, I'm really hoping it's leaking from one of the hoses and not what I had feared -the engine-. I'll follow Ed and Messar's advice and see what happens.

I've got a 1999 DII with just over 110K miles (110,4XX) and lately, it has been nothing but a headache trying to keep it from overheating. Today I replaced the coolant pump feed line, poured the coolant and took the truck for a short test drive. Within 2 miles of driving at city speed...

thanx...i have other pressing issues now, and will look into the gaskets suggested as soon as I take care of the major hose failure now. I'm getting really frustrated with the car, I love it, but come on! can't I get a full week of use without having a hose or gasket fail? since replacing the...

well, just checked -retraced- my work and what I could possibly had moved around the spark plug coil packs, around the heater plate, and around each spark plug. Frustratingly I don't see anything obvious that might be causing the vacuum leak. Now, I removed the throttle body in order to remove...

I just replaced my tb heater plate, but considered the option of bypassing it. simple fix, but I still don't see the value of having it. The Discovery engine compartment is always so damn hot, that I doubt "freezing" would occur. What's next, a heating unit for the catalytic converters? I'm...

yes it is a 99 DII with 109K, checked both turbos and they are just fine (:rofl: ). Will check the vacuum line that connects to the break booster. thanx guys...any more ideas?

After replacing the plenum heater plate, spark plugs and wires; my truck has developed a whistling noise that is relative to acceleration/deceleration, and it?s idling just not as smooth as it was. The noise is more noticeable when driving in town at no more than 40mph, and it is audible only...

awesome, should I replace the hose as well, or the just replacing the thermostat will take care of the prob? thanx guys. My mechanical 'know-how' is very limited but that's something I think I can do myself.

Reservoir cap was not affected. do you reckon I should replace the thermostat? or should I 'troubleshoot' first by putting that hose back in its place and filling adding the coolant, then run the engine for a bit and see what happens? worse that can happen is overheating -which is serious- but...

yesterday after about a 10 mile drive, my DII (99 with 105K miles) overheated to the point where the red light lit up. I immediately pulled to the side and opened the hood, to my surprise, the upper hose that connects to the Thermostat housing had just detached from the housing. Visually, the...

is there any easy way to check that? could I get to it lifting the center console or would I need to do something more drastic? thanx for your help MBRummal

alright, rewording... Prior to the last time I engaged the low gear lever; my DII used to chime three times and transfer gear newtral warning (light 32 as listed by picture) would light up when in the process of engaging low gear (when the lever was half-way). What would cause the light/chime to...

follow up and forgive me for hijacking the post. I have a DII '99 which, and just yesterday put the truck in low gear but the dash indicators and chime were not visible/audible. I do feel the truck is in low gear, but no lights in the process of going from high to low.... what could be...

good to know

awesome, I sent an e-mail to the cerrone's website, hoping to hear from them today.

thanx chapel, I was fearing no one would respond to the posting. I'll give him a ring tomorrow.

I'm in San Jose ca. and need to find a shop (not dealership if I can avoid it) to do a head gasket replacement in my DII '99. What's a fair amount to pay for such job?

UPDATE: it's official, my coolant is leaking into the engine. Drove for about 2 miles before overheating again. looked at the dipstick and saw the dreaded latte hue that results from the oil mixing with coolant. I'm in San Jose Ca. anyone know of a good mechanic/shop where I can get the...

I'm fearing I will have to do a head gasket replacement. How difficult was the removal and replacement of the heads? tips/tricks??? how many components have to come out? advice please. s_aleck911@hotmail.com
