It's a old safari Guard unit, I have the same one. Not a bad unit.Awj0117 said:Where did you get the spare tire carrier?
I say just go 4.6how do you like the 4.2? Is it rated at 200BHP? I was told I should consider installing a 4.2 to replace my 3.5, so I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on it!
Bit leery of that. I have had two 4.6's in the past, both went bad.I say just go 4.6
Both BOSCH and GEMS? I'm talking GEMS 4.6.Bit leery of that. I have had two 4.6's in the past, both went bad.
Is there a thread that points to the differences between the blocks and why one is more reliable than the other? Just asking as I am in a slow search for a RRC or D1/D2 for my daughter.A lot of 2003 discos (Bosch) had issues with the block but gems engine blocks are usually pretty solid
The liners in the blocks for 03/04 Discos can slip which causes a knocking noise at idle. We have a bunch of customers with knocking motors that come to the dealership that have been that way for years with no ill effects. I wouldn't be too worried about it. A bosche block will have studs for the crank sensor.Is there a thread that points to the differences between the blocks and why one is more reliable than the other?

I used a Gems block for my D2 4.6--we just welded it in.A bosche block will have studs for the crank sensor.
