99 DII...55k(used engine, thanks Will Tillery!!) Lately, and more often but with no particlar consistency, when I attempt to start my Disco, I get a "hissing" sound. The engine does Not start when this happens, nor does it turn over. It just makes a high-pitched hiss. It usually cranks up...

Did some research before posting, but I'm not seeing symptoms similar to mine....99 DII, 100k approx... My a/c is not working properly. While I feel hot and cold air depending on the setting, there is no air "pressure" coming out of the vents. I notice that as I increase my speed, 'some'...

I've recently made several posts regarding my 99DII, and it's need for a new engine. After my mechanic and I decided to go with a used, 47k engine out of Cali, they ended up selling it out from under us! Now, he has located a completely rebuilt 4.0, exactly like the one I had to begin with...

I have a 99 DII, and am looking at having my engine replaced... I'm looking at one engine that has 47,000 miles, but I'm not sure (at the moment) what year model it is. I know it's a series II, between a 99 & 02ym, and I'm pretty sure it's an 02 based on the low miles. My question is, are...

Hello all. Sorry, been out of the loop for sometime, until last night my 99 DII w/ 145k had been running along nice and smooth. Now, I have issues. It overheated while on the interstate and I am pretty sure I blew a head gasket before getting to the shoulder. I had it towed to my house...

Here's my issue (99 DII): About a week & a half ago I was driving through a small mud hole. While doing so, my ABS light flashed several times, then followed by HD/TC lights. Since then, they have remained on. My OBD II scanned a P1590 code (rough rode fault from what I understand). My...

Replacing my spark plugs today, I just pulled them out of the box and checking for the proper gap. I have two gap tools, and one of them is reading a .037 gap, while the other is showing a .045 gap? Not real sure if I'm splitting hairs, but is this all that important? Also, as far as "gap...

Was planning on topping off my coolant tonight, but just went to three different stores looking for distilled water. None of them had anything except mountain/spring water... Will this work in a pinch? What's the difference?

I just googled the above and found a website called "Ultrarev" and their price for Magnecor 8mm spark plug wires is $67 shipped. I have not looked too far, but those I have make this seem pretty cheap... Anyone ever deal w/ Ultrarev?

My disco has lived up to the expectations, both good and bad, that I had for it before I made the trip to Atlanta, bought it and drove it home. It was extremely well kept, both interior as well as exterior. I have meticulously kept it up from the moment I bought it as well. I hope to...

O.K., to all that helped me through the removal of my 99DII driveshaft, thanks for your advice. It's now off, and on it's way back to GBR for repair/replacement. Just a few quick follow up questions: 1. Now that the driveshaft is off, I have the CDL locked (or is it unlocked??), and was...

Almost forgot another recent issue while dealing w/ my driveshaft. Again, 99 DII, 95k. I always use premium fuel, drive fairly conservatively, and always check my mpg. That said, I am used to seeing a consistent 14 MPG and not too much more or less...ever. A few weeks ago, I addressed my...

So...me, my lab Jake and my 99 DII (95k) are headed to visit family this morning; when on the way out of town, I decided to stop at Chevron to top off the tank. I noticed a weird sound right at 50mph, so as I was filling up, I took a look underneath only to discover my front driveshaft was...

Happy Thanksgiving All!! Looking forward to a day of food, family, football and perhaps a beer or two... I've been getting a fairly loud "pop" when I change gears to reverse. I keep my 99 DII (95k) garaged; so each morning my routine is to start the engine, and shift into R. That said, as...

Watching Pitt WVA on ESPN...just saw the new Garmin Christmas commercial, the lady is driving a DISCO!!! Thought it was pretty cool, not much disco pub, especially on ESPN!!!

Now while trying to reach a clamp, I broke the hose near the air filter a nd coolant went everywhere! Is this hose something I can pick up at autozone? Hell I don't even have any duct tape to fix it temporarily (I know, I should never be w/o duct tape).

First, sorry if this has been posted previously, but I'm on the highway and have limited time/battery life to check previous threads... Anyway, I just recently peformed some light preventative maintenance on my 99 disco II w/ 94k (Front/Rear Diff, transfer case oil change and brake pads all...

I've been listening to this noise for the last two weeks, trying to pinpoint location and get a good description. Here's my best try... 99 series II disco... While driving on the highway, at no particular speed or time/temp., but seemingly after a bump or sudden change of speed, I hear a...

I was wondering if any of you S.E. folk know of any good LR Mechanics in the New Orleans area or vicinity? Our dealership is on a 3 week waiting list, and I have a few things I'd like to get a second opinion on before I embark on them. Thank You!

After much research, thread reading, etc. I decided to go with the Nitto Terra Grappler 285 60 18. I have a 99 disco II w/ a 2" lift. Ordered them from DTD, had them sent to a shop in Denham Springs, and the shops telling me they don't fit. The person I bought the truck from claims they...
