Default SERVICE QUESTION?

I did a serch but I couldnt find any thing on a 100.000 mile service! I am thinking of getting another disco I have been looking at 1995-2002 with miles on them in the 80,000- 136,000 range!
Any one know what the next big service is after the 60,000 monster?
Heck while your at it what year would you guys buy? I am thinking 1999 O wait 99 dont have CDL or do they, but they have ACE and down hill so 99 and up Im thinking!!

The 99 to mid -01's have the CDL, you just need the linkage, check the nipple under the truck. Not all of them have ACE.

If you are getting a Disco and you don't get meticulous service records with it, do the 60K service. It is the biggie.

Just make sure to pay attention when looking at a 99 as both D1s and D2s were made that year. A 99 D1 will have CDL with the linkage while a D2 will need the linkage installed to operate the CDL. D2s up to early 01 have the CDL nipple and just need the linkage. Late 01 - 03 don't even have the nipple but it can be added. Only D2s will have goodies such as ACE and hill decent control but they also suffer from the 3 amigos.

You can add a CDL to any LT230.

They did away with the locking feature in mid-2001. From that point to 2003, you can't do it. The nipple to connect to is not there.

Actually, like Jupiter Rover said, CDL can be added to any LT230 transfer case. From mid-2001 to 2003 is involves a lot more work as the transfer case has to be disassembled and reassembled with the CDL parts. I believe someone on this forum has done it to their 2003.

JYCSALAS has ordered the parts to do it to his, not sure if he's actually done it yet though. I remember cuz we both have '03's and I was under the same impression that it just couldn't be done. I'm sure doing that, while harder physically, is a lot easier fiscally.

Yes, you can tear down the X-fer case and add the mechanism, but that is what I meant. You can just add the linkage for $100 and 1 hour of labor on the 99 the 01.

You can put a 4.6 block on any Disco for that matter.
