    Discovery Apocalypse

    :ahhhhh: One of the biggest bonehead moves of my life: I drove home last week and the Disco was working great as usual. I felt tired and not in one of my best moods so when low fuel light came on; I decided to think using my behind instead of my brain. To make the story short, I started...

    One Speaker not working

    You could take out one of the speakers that work and exchange it in order to test it. I also had one that was out. I exchanged them both but I still have one spare. If you need one let me know.

    Recommended ATF Oils.

    I read great things about all of their products. I am also going to switch over to AMSOIL ATF. Will you use their regular ATF or Torque-Drive ATF what are your thoughts? or yours Chongo? Would you consider writing an article on full transmission service w/pictures? I think it would be useful...
