			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I have just acquired this &quot;new for me&quot; '67 2a 109.  I knew the clutch was bad, so I picked it up using a U-Haul trailer and brought it back to North Vancouver.  I decided to just pull the gear box back 20 centimeters inspect and remove the clutch.  The previous owner had said the clutch was fine and the vehicle drove normally just a few days before, so why I wondered if the clutch was suffering from a rear main or gear box input shaft oil leak.  What I found was a clogged drain, a very rusty (but dry) clutch cover, a completely worn out clutch disc (right down to the rivets), a very rusty flywheel, and a caked on mass of burnt clutch dust inside the bell housing - about 5mm thick.  It did not appear wet near the bottom (assuming that's where oil would have gone), but it had coated everything in there pretty consistently.  Brake Cleaner removed most of it with little effort.  So I'm thinking that I do not have a rear main seal leak or a transmission input shaft leak.  I also verified that the vehicle has the 9.5&quot; clutch.  I have a few questions at this point...<br />
1. Should I change the throw out bearing? It does not appear to make any noise.<br />
2. If yes, is this behind a small cover in the bell housing, and if this is removed, will it drain gear box hydraulic fluid?<br />
3. The clutch cover appears to have a steel triangular shaped central hub that mates with a similar size disc on the input shaft.  This would be metal/metal contact in operation.  Should this be lubricated when assembling?<br />
4. Unrelated, there are no reverse lights.  Where is the reverse light switch located?  I see no electrical connections on the gear box.<br />
Any input would be appreciated...<br />
Geoff.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hello everyone.<br />
<br />
Has anyone installed the LBZ EGR Delete kit from EGR Performance on a daily-driven Duramax? I&#8217;m researching the benefits and possible downsides before making a purchase. I&#8217;ve been reading reviews about improving airflow, lowering EGTs, and reducing soot buildup, and I&#8217;m considering getting an LBZ EGR Delete from EGR Performance for my truck soon.<br />
<br />
Did you notice any gains in throttle response, fuel economy, or overall reliability after the installation?<br />
<br />
I&#8217;d also like to know how difficult the install was and whether tuning adjustments were necessary afterward.<br />
<br />
Any long-term issues, check engine lights, or towing performance improvements would be helpful to hear about.]]></content:encoded>

<br />
Does anyone have any suggestions?<br />
<br />
Also the blades look real good, provided it doesn&#8217;t do more that drizzle. Has anyone replaced theirs with something more robust? Is the issue fitting something else to the motor, or the strength of the motor?<br />
<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Purchased this 1991 Defender 110 pickup several years ago with the intention of restoring it and using as my every day driver. Completed a full mechanical restoration/upgrade in spring of 2025. Every mechanical and electrical component of the truck has either been replaced, restored, and/or upgraded. Under 2000 miles on the freshly installed (new) engine. Over $50,000 in parts installed on the truck (just parts, not labor or refurbishing of existing parts). Engine, brakes, steering, suspension, drive train, and fuel systems are all new. Truck cruises at 85+mph, tracks and stops straight. If interested I can share the complete build spec details. Engine is a professionally built and installed (from all new and/or NOS parts) Chevy 250 in-line six, putting out 185HP. Setup for EFI (wiring and fuel lines) but currently running a 2 barrel Holley carb. Quick acceleration and a higher top speed than any Defender needs. Plenty of info online regarding the Chevy 250 conversions. The engine directly bolts into a Defender without any needed changes to chassis, bellhousing, or firewall. The Chevy 250 is a dependable engine that is simple and affordable to maintain and allows the Defender to easily drive with traffic.<br />
<br />
The only issue with this truck are the door bottoms, which have rust caused by galvanic corrosion. The doors are still fully functional but, I just want to note that this is the only corrosion on the truck. I have restored many Land Rovers and I always opt to leave all patina to any aluminum part, as long as it is not causing any usability or future maintenance issues. If you wanted this truck to be cosmetically perfect, the doors would need repaired or replaced (replacing would cost about $1500 with paint and would take about 30 minutes to install) and a paint correction would need to be done to the rest of the body. If you just want an honest truck that is mechanically sound and ready to drive trouble free for many years/miles, this truck would be a good fit.<br />
<br />
Need to sell to free up garage space for other Land Rovers projects so...if you are interested, please reach out!<br />
