DiscoDavis

My old man's got 480k on a vortec like that one. Still runs somehow. Good choice.

I use T4 and T5 rotella 15w40 on both the 110 and Disco Pleased with it.

Oil spitting from park drum. Graeme had LT230 seals kit, got one. Turned out to be the felt washer on the rear output shaft was shredded, flange nut was on hand tight... weird. Sealed up, new oil, props greased. Next week adjust diff lock linkage.

Finally sat down Sunday and updated a bit http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/168687-The-DiscoDavis-Sandglow-Thread A bunch more to upload still. Last night I finally fixed the roof light switch bank

Expo thread in the works. It has been hours and hours of work every other day, just hard to stop and photograph everything when you're trying to just get that piece done.

Nice radio work Don. Swapped out the cyclone breather (PCV) on the 110 this am. Changed swivel ball grease in the disco after work. Brown sludge came out when old fluid was emptied... sorry Elizabeth. Stocked up on a buttload of oils, Ron gave me some old fluids from storage too! Enough diesel oil for the next few years.

lift pump was dripping from the weep hole got home and swapped the spare in. Much quicker now. 10/10 would do again.

Half of me is wanting to share and the other half is now paranoid about putting too much public info out there in too many places I'll update soon!

I really liked the Akebono EUR 1099/1098 ceramics.

Just today: >Power steering pump appears to have either grenaded or blown the gasket right behind the belt pulley. Leaks about a liter of ATF from the pump a day. That and now my stereo no longer drowns out all the whiney gears... >Also if I even look at her wrong she won't start. 45 min this morning at 0600 getting her to idle (ignition wires have to have their chakras aligned) . Guess I futzed with the IACV and didn't reset something so the CEL 048 comes on too. Not happy with her but magically she gets me to work every day so far! 3 months of commuting end of February! This last Saturday: >New EP90 in the transfer box >changed oil to 15w-40 and swapped the filter >diffs fluid level perfect, fluid gold (so weird coming from an LR3 where they're always dirty it seems) >trans could use new fluid but level is perfect >cleaned IACV >cleaned vacuum hoses (1 was clogged with oil) >vacuum leak went away as result

Coming.... Mainly wanted this thing on for all the early-morning construction site work the disco sees. And in the evenings she spends a lot of time on the back roads where I usually see deer cross every night. Consensus on the best winch for these bumpers? 9.5xp? Oh and I fixed the ghetto wiring loom for the turn signals, goes through the drivers side box and added real loom to protect all the wires that go across the radiator

Saturday we went down to Santa Cruz and picked up the ARB group buy stuff. I got a D3 winchbar, and immediately went home to fit it. 14 hours later... It is not centered... but hey it works. Thanks Alyson for setting up the buy, saved a bit of money on that.
