Just got my Ultra Gauge in the mail about 20 minutes ago.. gonna slap it in and see how it works in a few. Ohh, and I found that the reason that the cruise isn't working is because the vacuum tubes aren't connected to the dash, so I slapped a vacuum sealer on the end of the tube that cones out of the throttle.

Does anyone know what size light bulb goes in the front interior dome?

interior bulb is a "festoon bulb 12V/10W"

Default Grocery Shopping!!

Stopped at the LD dealer to setup a service appointment for the B156 gas tank recall. Then picked up a few things at the grocer. Hopefully this weekend I can tackle my headliner that is sagging all over the place and purchase a u-joint for a potential replacement. Hope this counts and It doesn't make me look like to much of a sally!

Here's what I was going for(not my truck):



Looks great! Quick question: Which Hi-Lift mount is that on your spare? I/m trying to fab one up and it would be great to get a better look at yours.

Thanks, Tom

It will be interesting to see how that goes. Do not be surprised if they find a lotof other things that need to be addressed while they have it.

I was driving mine today and next thing I knew, there was some lady in a new Lexus stopped in front of me with her left turn signal on waiting to turn into our bank.

I was doing about 45 or so and closing way too fast. I slammed on the brakes, jerked tghe wheel hard to the right and barely missed her as I slid off the pavement onto a wide grassy area that was wet from rain.

I missed hitting the rear corner of her car by just a few inches. I got off the brake, gave it some gas and went right around her thru the wet grass. After I made sure I was past her, I eased back onto the road and continued down to the next intersection.

All that because my wife was running low on cigarettes and i wasn't really attentive to the traffic ahead. I am just thankful i was able to avoid hitting her, as it probably would have totalled my Disco and sent her head-on into oncoming traffic.

Man, that was a shaky experience. The Disco handled it well.
