    Another no-start scenario

    Hi all, So a little over a month ago, I bought a 1998 D1, 4.0, 123K miles. Ran like a top for me, up until about 4 weeks ago. I shut it down to go to the store, and when I tried to start it, it just cranked. Had to crank for about 10-15 seconds and mash the pedal to the floor, which did the...

    1994 D1 5 speed pressure plate gears

    Hi all, I'm thinking of buying a 94 D1 tomorrow and I need some input. It's a 5 speed, runs good, 174k miles, good shape, runs/drives. The guy's asking a pretty fair price too. Only problem is it's going to need new pressure plate gears soon and they cost $250 (at least that's what the mechanic...

    Anyone have thoughts on good gas grill burners? I got this little trailer to tow a bike around on, but since I'm gonna git a truck I won't need it for that anymore, so I'm gonna turn it into a big grill. It's gonna have a charcoal part and a gas part. I was lookin online and there's some...

    DII CV boots

    How much of a PITA is it to replace a DII CV boot? I.e. what's involved? I know its rather much of one, but don't want to tear into something until I'm sure of what I'm gettin into. One of my CVs has developed a split along one of the toilet-plunger like ridges. Thanks! Ed

    DII rear axles

    Hi guys, Did a search, but all I could find on DII rear axles is the hub bearings. What I need to do is pull the half shaft out (I broke it). Here's where I'm at. I've got the wheel off of course, I've got the caliper off and the rotor off. I've got all four of the bolts off the backside of...

    W w wobble...

    My D2 has a little wobble in the steering wheel and its there between about 25-30 clear up to about 60. Goes away at 60 but comes back with a vengence at 68. 70 is as fast as I have ever taken it with the LTBs on. Now, I'm pretty sure this is due to the 34s I got (although I notice it a...

    Sorry another gas mileage thread...

    Just curious...those of you with the 34" LTB and stock gearing in a DII, what kind of mileage did you start getting when you put them tires on? I knew my mileage would jump, but not as far as it seems to be going. I've traveled about 3 tanks worth on the LTBs, and at first it was only slightly...
