i stopped buying silver stars because of this. My headlights are always on, and when wheeling, It’s almost guaranteed I’ll break a bulb filament.

I made the electronics module myself. It's a microprocessor with PCM voice playback and some logic to activate the message. If you are into Arduino and stuff, it is easy. Otherwise I could make kits and sell them, but it could take a while.

Default Option B Repair- no more three amigos (for now)

Today i did the "Option B" ABS modulator repair, reset the ABS codes with the LRII code reader. I expected to have to replace the shuttle valve at least, but the resistance was within spec.

No three amigos anymore- although it needs a new master cylinder and some frame repair before I take it out on the road to really check it.

Sweet heavens, I miss those parts of the country.

Today i took apart the cabin air blower and cleaned it- it would only run on high speed and was making noise.

Found lots of debris in fan, cleaned and reinstalled, now it works great.

Completed the return leg of our trip from Denver to VA last night. Other than the expected terrible mpg the truck just eats up the miles with relative ease. Other than the lucky8 front driveshaft dying on the way out a rather uneventful drive (which is a good thing). Truck is much smoother with the tom woods shaft up front.

I sold my spare Disco yesterday to my brother-in-law. I picked it up for $500 a few years ago. 7 seater - rear air conditioning. I put a new radiator in, odds and ends off the parts truck. Did a little cutting to make the 2004 bumper fit better on the 2000 truck. New windshield. A steal at the family discounted price of $1200

I haven’t driven Myrtle at all since the Tier 4 lockdown started back in December. I put a battery conditioner/charger on her even though she still starts up fine.

In other British news...
With all the flooding going on now from Storm Cristoph here in England, I find it intriguing when a news station is showing flooded roads with stranded cars, there is always that one video of a Land Rover ripping through the water with the best of ease while m
aking tidal waves.
