From: ChrisF6724@aol.com Date: Sun, 5 May 1996 14:40:28 -0400 Subject: Parting out series III I going ahead and doing a engine, tranny, transfer case swap in my '73 LR 88 Series III... I will basically be replacing everything from the pumpkins forward.. I currently have a 2/25 L petrol with weber carb, stock 4-spd tranny, and stock transfer case. I am located in Denver, Colorado. The transmittion and transfer case are in good shape.. The clutch is about gone as well as the master cylinder for it. The engine has some "unknown" (never took it in to be checked) problems. There is water contamination in the oil, and the oil pressure is low. I've never checked the compression or had it checked for bad heads. The PO told me it has had the "unleaded" heads installed reciently (possible because the gaskets are new). It has a weber carb. It's odo reads 68,000 (assumed 168,000), but I'm not sure of the history other than it was originally purchased in Virgina.The radiator is also going to come out... Basically, everything from the axle pumpkins forward (including driveshafts) Make an offer, I'm willing to trade for some other parts I want... Soft top, half gate tailgate, push bar, salsbury axles, axle lockers, winch, new front seats, passenger side mirror, new window tracks, tire carrier parts for rear door (has plate & holes, but no hardware) or whatever you think I might need... FYI: I'm swapping in a Chevy 4.3L "vortec", fuel injected, V6. Also I'm putting in a 700r4 4-spd auto transmittion w/ B&M shift kit, and an NP208 transfer case.... Should be a screamer when finished ;-) The time table is that the actual swap should happen May 20 and finish mid/end June... The engine is still running in the car, and can be removed at any time in the next couple of weeks. I can make arrangements if you want to drive the car with the stock engine in it...(provided your in the Denver area or know someone)... Try to e-mail me direct (I've had problems recieving the digest for the last week) Thanks, Chris Fisher ------------------------------[ <- Message 4 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960506 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
Subject: Leaking / cracked D110 axle casing From: rc@fourfold.ocunix.on.ca (Robin Craig) Date: Sun, 05 May 96 06:55:27 -0500 There was a chap from Oz on the other day saying he had a crack in the axle casing near the diff housing. I would suggest the following actions, 1 see if LR themselves, depending on age of vehicle, will givie you a new casing on good will basis with seals etc and change iut yourself. 2 If you have any intention of welding yourself I'll give you some advice from my own view point as a welder and fabricator and machin shop type. I would remove axel from vehcile and dissemble. Wash and clean casing, then maganflux the crack to see how far it goes and also if there are more. The preparation prior to welding is very important if you ever want to have a structurally sound and leak proof weld. Any surface that has had hydro carbons on them are a potential nightmare to seal by welding because the hydro carbons cause porosity in the weld leading to pin holes and leaks. So once the length of the crack has been established I would drill the ends of the crack with a 1/8th diam drill. Then usiing a die grinder vee the crack out. Next using a small diam arc welding rod such as a 6010 or 6011 do a root pass in the joint. This is type of rod used for pipe welding root passes. Then using the die grinder again clean out the vee of the wld removing flux and debris, cet it shiny clean. Then using a 7018 electrode do your cover pass in the joint. Voila 100% success guaranteed if I was doing it!

Is this supposed to be connected to overflow outside? If so where do I hook the thing up? Or is this more or a serious problem with the evaporator? Thanks!! Ted M.

Do you know people who have had it >taken care of by the dealer? please respond. --Tre '93 110 Our dealer - has replaced parts that rusted (e.g., tailgate and rear bumper). I did not get the impression that this was at all unusual. Additionally, they have taken care of sections of body panels -- that are aluminum and not rusting -- "under the warranty" when touch up work has needed to be done. Maybe they are allowed a bit more flexibility than some shops because of the volume that they do. Don't quite know... Ask your dealer and you may be pleasantly surprised....just don't get my guys in trouble!
