Just finished installing Rovertym 2" bodylift. Everything went fairly smooth! The seat belt tensioners were a B*@ch to get off as the pins were seized into place and the TC shifter extension does not thread into the handle? I had to use some McGiverin to fix that..but otherwise a great kit and easy install.. Now heres the problems... After the install.. my speedo, tach, fuel gauge, temp gauge etc DO NOT WORK?? I've checked fuses but all are good, I must have pulled a connection apart?? but where? Also I notice a very low stumbling idle.. I did pull apart a vacuum connection but after replacing there was still no change?? The truck sometimes stalls when idling or stopping.?? I'm thinking it must be a vacuum line(leak)..but once again WHERE?? Is there a diagram somewhere showing all the vacuum lines and connections?? any suggestions greatly appreciated!! | ||

My guess would be the electrical connection being pulled apart and the ECU is not getting the info it needs to provide the proper air/fuel mixture. Where? I can't be much help on that one. | ||

have you checked ground connection between the chassis/engine and the body? | ||

Everything is back in order!! Completely my fault.. Turned out to be a vacuum line connected to the valve cover, I never checked here before because I was looking for a line which would have been affected by the bodylift and this hose must have gotten knocked off when I worked on the steering column, and the gauges were because of a blown fuse!! Dooh! Not sure why it blew couldn't find any wires being pulled anywhere and the fuse hasn't blown again yet! Thanks to Steve at Rovertym for the help and awesome bodylift! | ||

its great to know that other peolpe are using their rovers and modifying them. i mean i have seen so many of these trucks as on highway rigs. they are not even scratched or dented. so hurry up with the pictures so we can all critisize what it looks like. and only if you could hear the remarks. i look forward to veiwing these photos. | ||
