So my daughter in denver called broke down. That triple A that CV I got her finally paid off.

The mechanic called and said the fan blew apart. It took out the radiator, the shround, the PS reservoir, and the upper hose.

I had intended to do the doorman/Hayden upgrade on her rig next time she came home.

Moral of this story is....do the doorman hayden upgrade.

 

They do get old and brittle, but it could have been the belt too, unless that is one piece.

 

The belt was my first thought. Surprisingly it is still in one piece.

I had the guy order the nissens radiator, the hayden 2991, the doorman 620-112, and he was gonna get the shroud and PS reservoir from a junkyard.

If anybody breaks down west of Vail pass, I would give a big thumbs up to using Werks diesel repair in gypsum colorado.

 

That sucks Zuke, but it sounds completely under control! I’ve had two folks have their OEM fan blades explode this summer on 1 P38 Bosch & an 01 D2. P38 guy had to get a new hood as well! D2 fella just needed the usual, but he got away without nearly as much damage as the P38.

 

@zuke man that sucks - sounds like fans should be a 3 to 5 year replacement item.

 

Don't know if you all noticed my recommendation for a diesel repair shop. That just goes along with my usual rant about people saying you gotta use land rover shops. (LOOKIN AT YOU MR OHENDO)

A car is a car.

 

Unless DOH is undercover he has been dealt with for the time being.

 

I was thinking at least she didn’t try to drive it 32 miles down hill to till she forgot how brakes work

 

DOH has been active later over on LRO under his alias.

 

DOH jinxed Zuke.
