Replaced the ACE pump. 2 hr job, still some slight "whirring" noise from the new pump. Not sure what's normal.

 

Chopped a 3/8 to 1/2 drive adapter so that my ratchet doesn’t get stuck as the fill plug comes out any more. And added some black pipe for extra leverage.

 

Good idea. I use a 1/2 drive wobble extension which works really well.

 

Thanks. The little ball was driving me insane. It not being there is so nice.

 

How do you guys feel about a 3/4 open end wrench instead? https://extinctmotorsports.com/land-...l-sight-glass/

 

Oh yeah, I bought one from you a few months ago and was going to install it the next time I checked it. I just checked it on Thursday and forgot about it.

 

Wow, Its been a long time since I've been here. I have a lot of info to share regarding my D2.

Anyway, I saw some old posts about converting to the GM Type2 HP pump. ( I'm running 35's) One of Disco Mikes old posts says he had a hookup on this kit. I saw the posts about doing the electric one. Has anyone done the GM conversion?

If the GM conversion is not available I would consider doing the electric version. I think FTL may have done it.
I also saw replies from CAPTAINAARON, EXTINCT, & BEST4X4
I definitely want to do this. The Rover pumps just suck. I've gone thru 3 of them.

 

The GM pump conversion is not really feasible on a D2, I looked at it pretty hard. It basically will not fit in the stock bracket. You could do it with a new bracket of course but probably not worth the effort.

 

Thanks for the reply Extinct. If its just a bracket issue I'd be willing to pay someone to fabricate one.
So, what about the other alternative of using a jeep or charger pump doing it the electric way with some kind of controller, a Volvo one I think.
I ordered some stuff from your website over the weekend. Damn I just dumped a ton of more money into the D2. Ashcroft gears and HD axles, Arb lockers front & rear, new Toyo MT 35's, 2 new head lamp assemblies, GTR Ultra 2.0 Led conversion bulbs, all kinds of outside rain gutter trim, windshield intake cowl, heated seat switches, 4 ROAM cases, Roto Pax gas & water containers, a Power Tank setup with their Monster deflator valve stems, new RBC rotors and pads, 4 OEM hubs, a spare tire carrier from Hyena Overland, Johnny jointed radius arms from Adrenalin 4X4 & a bunch of small misc stuff. That REALLY hurt the wallet. lol
I'm also on the hunt for a carpet kit, Shes going in for paint at the end of the month. When will all this madness stop.


I saw an old post from Discorama saying he added 2 motors to the passenger seat for the height adjustment. I don't know if he added the lumbar. I heard that the HSE models came with this option. I'd like to have the passenger seat as adjustable and with lumbar like the driver side. Have you updated any passenger seats on any of your D2 vehicle restorations? I'd like to do this asap,

Anyway, I sure would like to do power steering swap with the electric option if possible, but would rather have a bracket made for the GM option.

 

@Bignacio The switches and the wiring on the passenger seat for those features are all there. For the height adjustment I bought a used seat base with the motors. Replacement was fairly easy. For lumbar support you need the bag with an air pump, which I didn't install.
