Personally I'm biased because I think Olso blue is one of the best colors for the D2 plus that was the color of mine and I miss her. But the 04 does have CDL!

This is the best color. It’s a ‘00 and it has CDL.

Great looking rig. I will buy another one day but the debate will be if I get an 04 and repaint it to Oslo Blue or get an 03 in the blue and update it to 04 with CDL. I was very close to doing that with my rig. Upgraded to beefier roof bars and 04 3D badges. Never got the CDL job done though.

BTW, I checked this on the test drive. The temp climbed to 204 and held at a few points, but it would also sometimes drop to 199-201 while driving. Climbed briefly to 208 after entering the neighborhood while going slow. Drove it for a few hours today around town, stop and go, pretty much behaved the same way. I swear I’m going to obsess over the UG temp gauge. Probably wouldn’t hurt to drop in a 180 stat would it? FWIW, this is a smooth and stout running engine right now. *knock wood*

The UG found no codes.

I disagree with CollieRover, I would not walk away from the perfect Disco just because the PO is still using a factory correct thermostat. I would immediately change it though.
