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!

Was able to get a pic up in the new member intro forum :)

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.

Buy a tool to monitor temps before you buy any DII. Seeing at what temp the engine runs is the single most important thing you can do. If it gets to 210 walk away immediately. You want it holding 204 or less in traffic or highway. Up a hill it may go higher, but should come down.



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.
