    D2 Front and Rear blower motors quit at the same time

    Was driving with front and rear A/C on, no problems. Stopped at the store, get back in and start the truck, neither the front or rear blowers are working. Took out the front motor and is fine, took out the resistor and tested it and it seems to work fine, fuses are fine. I am getting power...

    Expedition Exchange sells K Seal as a coolant additive that permanently seals leaks and cracks in the cooling system. Has anyone had any experience with this stuff? Did a search on it, and haven't seen any negative feedback. This was about Bars Stop Leak. The EE guys have been good to me...

    D2 steering noise

    I've been tracking this noise for about a year now.... When I turn the wheel, it makes a noise like an old door hinges slowly opening. A low pitch creaking noise. So I order a new PS pump and new drag link and tie rod all with new ends from Will Tillery. Still doesn't fix the problem. Now I'm...

    Hey everybody, I'm replacing my radiator, fan clutch and thermostat on my 01 D2. The hoses are a 1 1/2 old. I have been told that I should back flush the cooling system before I put the new radiator in. Anybody done that before? Any suggestions before I put the new parts in?

    Proline Water Pump

    A while back, I purchased a Proline water pump from Rovers North. It was substantially cheaper than genuine, I believe $89. Had the fucker on the truck for 3 months and it's leaking already!! Not leaking from the gaskets, but from the actual pump, I believe from the input shaft from the...

    driveline shops

    Well I dropped my front drive shaft for my 01 D2 after it started chirping like a canary. I took it to U Joints Inc. here in El Paso. They are unsure if they can do the job because the CV joint is "tight" and the centering pin is a "bugger". They said they would give it a shot. They also...

    change or not change tranny fluid?

    I have a 2001 D2. I've been told that changing the tranny fluid on a D2 is not a good idea because of certain particulates that become important with the torque converter. I've been told that these particulates that form in the fluid help the torque converter engage and disengage and help the...

    Barri Nut Lock Nut Kit

    I've been seriously considering some Barri Nuts for my Hella 4000s, but I have a Wilderness rack with the light mounts. Seems the Barri Nuts would be a lost cause because the light mounts could be unbolted pretty easily with standard tools. Are there Barri Nuts to fit the light mount bolts...

    Switching from green coolant to orange

    Hi, last year I had my local shop do a coolant flush on my 2001 Disco. I recently discovered a leak from my water pump, pulled up the RAVE info on the types of coolant and I found out that the shop had put the green coolant in instead of the orange "DEX-COOL". Is there any way to safely switch...
