Avoid the 4.6

[Holland]

Later 4.6 blocks are terrible. Maybe the fact that everything runs off of the same computer, and that they love to start forest fires.

Our p38 is a bucket. Offroad height on bags is probably the most uncomfortable ride in any 4x4. All plastic parts are stupid brittle. Just changed the plugs, oil, filters, water pump, timing chain, and gaskets. MPG went from 14 to 12... 40$ gets you a quarter tank of 91.

We have a 4.0. No fires yet. Stock deck took a dump. Installed an aftermarket, and still need to bypass the speaker amps in every door to get rid of the popping in the speakers.

Man, anything good about dicking with the 4.6? SRSLY, I plan to use this thing. My Classic is getting too, riggish, and it's a bit anemic for towing, which I do enough of. IDK, it's 50 more torques. The reason they fail is they are running lean. They were programmed to run lean for emissions. An ECU chip/flash can fix that.

I'm not afraid of the air suspension. I can get OE bags for $160ea. I would like to get one with functioning air for some strange reason, maybe I like a challenge. It's kinda like VANOS, I was afraid of mine failing until I rebuilt it, now I love it.

[E30_Pare]

not the bags that fail. Usually the compressors like to die. For towing need to buy a tow harness for lights. Stupid reason they didnt come with it... like every suv in the planet.

[slammin.e28]

Compressors can be rebuilt for like $105, DIY. No big.

I need to get out and drive some and check them out in person, problem is they're all too far away. I think I've seen two locally, ever.

Slammin, please tell me not to buy this beaut!!!!

[slammin.e28]

Rangerovers.net will tell you everything. I'm pouring through the EAS system stuff as we speak, lol.

Waiting on a reply. This with 33's is my dream rig!
After hearing what you said about towing, I'm scared. My 5.4l expedition tows shit like a bawss. I can't have both though so i'd like your opinion on it. Will it be up to the task of say, a 6k-lbs trailer?

Mine has an M52, so it's anemic, BUT I did tow another 4.5k lb Disco. We estimate I had up to 10k lbs between my Rover, the Disco 2, and the trailer.

Little M52 pulled it all like a champ.



They do like to sway though, so I'd get an anti sway kit or whatever. I haven't yet, but it hasn't bothered me.

Was at a car meet on saturday at the Simone Auto Museum and this was sitting out back (Along with a bricklin)

I'm gonna call tomorrow and see if I can track down the owner.

[slammin.e28]

Woo hooo!

Finally fixed mine. With Boreas coming in, I wanted to be prepared for the lack of snow we would get, so I measures, cut, bent, welded, cut, welded, ground, welded and put together a transmission cooler line that won't come apart.

Feels good to drive 'er again.

Disco 2 is almost done, but I think slammin might have kicked my disco 1 to death. :/
