I’ve installed that 620-112 setup on a lot of D2’s and had either 1-3F improvements or same as OEM results.

It’s not really supposed to a temp changer or performance upgrade vs a reasonable priced/reliable replacement for the 03-04 setup which is a one piece unit. I’ve installed it into older 99-02 setups where the OEM blade was about to break a blade off. Perfomance is going to vary depending on the fan clutch being used standard/HD/Severe. I have never used the Hayden 2991, as I’ve just used the Made in USA Severe/HD unit from Auto Zone (they used to offer a torq flo unit that was like extreme severe duty, but it’s now listed as just a HD unit).

It was bound to happen sooner or later. I removed the CD changer from under the passenger seat and donated it to an electrical recycling outfit.

Now I have a cord that goes to the radio unit. I was on the net the other day, and their are outfits that all you need to do is plug in a new cord at the back of the unit, to some audio-link box in which you can play your music through your iPod/USB.

I picked up the grom unit and it has been working great

I finished up my t-case solenoid delete last night. Low range is sweet😊

Some people say adios to the interlock completely, but I’ve seen the aftermath when a passengers handbag snags the handle and it goes from 4Hi to N then in the panic that follows someone bumps it either back into 4Hi crank snapple pop, god forbid into 4Lo when a rather larger jolt is felt followed by a lovely explosion of internal parts & outer casing. On a strictly off road truck okay maybe, but on a LR used on the highway I’d just get an 03 linkage (if you don’t have a CDL) or an 04 linkage and fix it properly by bypassing removing the inop unit from the TC, and using the newer external stye found on 03 or 04 linkages. Might be a few $$$, but it’s way better vs what “could” happen.

My 04 is hard to shift.
I am getting around to fixing it soon.
Is there a preffered way?
Does the 04 have 2 solenoids?
Thanks
