What did you do with your DII today?
#2241
Guys today I finally made some decent observations with my "tick" as you could call it. I hear a click or "tick" when I'm driving but I've noticed that I only hear it when accelerating and my foot is on the gas pedal. Otherwise when coasting it disappears. I won't hear this tick when I park the truck and rev the engine. It appears to only happen under load.
Does this mean anything?

Wow so after putting a new radiator and waterpump my temps still climbed in the 200's. I see 194 more consistently now but when I've got the AC running I see it go up to 203-208. I've bled the system twice. I put two gallons of 50/50 in there but I think it can be topped off a little more. Otherwise it I think the Motorad 180 may have been the culprit this whole time. I'm not experiencing any leaks.
I just figured at 158,000 miles now it had to be the radiator or pump. Oh well at least I know I've got new parts in there now.

Gaskets
Replaced my timing chain, gears, and oil pump. A nice byproduct of this was taking care of the leaky oil plan gasket.
However, I'm now getting temps of 199F while driving with AC on, I used to be 194 on the dot.
Hopefully it's just an air bubble, I'll wait until it cools off and then bleed the system again.

New bumper
Car got some love this weekend. Thanks to Drowsap pointing out a good deal on this thread, I ordered a britpart bumper from Atlantic British for $400 on sale. Installed it this weekend. As with all work on the D2, it took close to one hour to unbolt the old bumper with all the rusted screws and bolts.
New bumper fit beautifully and is very well made. Had to do some minor trimming of the grill to fit it.
Also installed some LED interior bulbs. I can finally see inside the car!
