But I have been reading about the cooling issue since the beginning - even to go so far as to make inquires about 3d printing custom replacement parts. Yes, its possible. But reading from above... I know this is not something for people...- Michael Puig

HD vs non-HD package LR4
Let a old guy give some perspective on this HD/Locker thing... the first car I ever drove was a old (Lucas) defender - ranch car. it had a Lo gear - Ranch was in the coastal plains of Texas - so I only know mud, gumbo, sandy loam and sand. Oh, no mountains or stone or rocks.... I dont think I...- Michael Puig

Thoughts on 2021 Bronco as LR4 replacement?
Ill just say this - the new Bronco does have appeal. However, I lost a friend to the original - he was on the highway at night and swerved to avoid a tire left on the road. The car flipped. Short wheelbase is short wheelbase - be warned.- Michael Puig

Well crap!
back to the crossover pipe failure - it would seem that heat soak plus time could be the culprit. I had some conversations with some thermal guys - if you are going to replace the plastic parts - you could insulate the parts with something like exhaust wrap followed by gold foil - that would...- Michael Puig

Well crap!
What a Bummer - Ill look into this but what is up with the JLR design that it needs crossover pipes? Is all this to cool the heads? I can recall any US V8 that has crossover pipes let alone a LS. Let me understand - if the crossover pipes are plugged - the heads will over heat? WTF?? Has...- Michael Puig

The Quest for A Durable Front Crossover Pipe
We need to also take into account the mounting for the e-Pump - brackets and mounts need to be sized and fabricated. Will there be room? It might be useful to get the LR pump and run by the Ford parts counter and compare,,,- Michael Puig

The Quest for A Durable Front Crossover Pipe
