After the never ending threads of cams blowing up, liners slipping, radiators clogging, sumps sludging, t-case bearings getting loose and all of the other things that go kaboom, is my D2 an anomaly at 171k? I even submarined it!
Engine is smooth, a little chatter sometimes from the lifters but it is relatively quiet. A little gear whine from the rear end sometimes, watss linkage is rattly.
Other than the flood which claimed a few ecus, alternator, water pump and possibly the trans but it is debatable.
and even though it ha sbeen through all of that, it is still nicer than any of the d2's I looked at for the wife before I bought the RR....
I always use good oil that has the sheer rating. 5/40w is good for me. I learned that distilled water works much better and keeps the annual throttle body heater gasket leak at bay. Always change all of the gear and trans oil anually...
Heck Im on the original Rotoflex. It has been 20k since the flood too....
