Water pump nipple
Any feedback on all those new metals added to our various systems, is that brass fitting causing any problems that anyone knows about? -
Water pump nipple
I assume you are talking about that little plastic/brass bit... It should spin easily, but should not be easy to just pull out. That little black ring on the water pump must be pushed in to allow the fitting to be pulled out. It cannot come out on it's own. Did you put it in far enough (ha, ha... -

Suspension Fault When Parked on Incline
Agreed, that your vehicle very possibly came with Hitachi software and AMK hardware. Mine was, and I have seen several other instances. However, I did not have any issues with that - but who knows.... But it sounds more like the valve on the exhaust, or something plugging the exhaust line than... -
How to: Supercharger Removal, Rear Crossover, and Passenger Valve Cover
My best description of that smell is nasty old ear wax. Really a strange unpleasant odor. I got out 85mL and put back 85mL, no issues after about 10K miles. -
LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
Ha, Ha! It's in work... More night time sleeping aid for insomnia ! -
LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
I am about to begin the 6 speed procedure on the 2013. I am hoping to do a fluid flush rather than a simple drain and fill, which means I need to open up the transmission fluid cooler lines. The easiest spot is at the transmission cooler, super easy to access. Does anyone know the torque... -
Fluids change after 9 years?
I would go ahead and change everything - of course only OEM fluids... Don;t overlook coolant as well. I did pick up somewhere on this forum NOT to change the adaptation values for an ATF fluid change, that adaptation values should be changed only when mechanicals are changed. At least that's... -
LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
If you did a simple filter/pan swap I believe the amount to have on hand is 7 liters. If you dropped the mechatronic and did a transmission cooler flush then it depends on how much you got out, but a dry fill is 9.9 liters. -
LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
Actually, I have them both handy. The document is for the 6 speed and is from the ZF Repair Manual. The photo is for the 8 speed when I did the job a couple years ago. The original reference is hard to locate quickly, but ZF wants them dis-assembled in reverse order to assembly, i.e. start at... -
LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option
Both the 6 speed and 8 speed transmissions are in this thread. Which one do you need? -
Headlight bulb recommendation needed
I have learned that OEM bulbs last much longer than anything we can purchase anywhere else, so long that they more than pay for themselves. And that includes all the major brand name bulb manufacturers. We run the OEM Xenon bulbs. -
Is this a failing crossover pipe?
Are you sure it's coolant odor?? My 2016 has a strange vinegar odor in the HVAC system at times - not coolant, but have never really properly diagnosed it. -
Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8
LOL !!, It's a Grand Epic, I laughed, I cried, I took several naps.... -
Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8
I have the kit from Astro, it has the correct cap for the coolant reservoir. For what you get it's overpriced as it is built for casual use, but it's been ok so far... -
Is this a failing crossover pipe?
Not in this video, but as long as it's open, maybe also the thermostat (which IS in the V6 video) and the EGR valve. For the V8 -
Control arm fail
OK, question, front UCA symptoms? We have a mystery shimmy when braking on the 2016,it's not warped rotors and it seems very strangely reminiscent of what the Isuzu Trooper used to do - (that shimmy kinda came and went, never was resolved, kinda sorta related to dirt levels and dust on the... -
Control arm fail
As you know I have 3 LR4's, 90K, 60K, 40K. No issues with rear control arms - at least that I know. What at the diagnostic symptoms. Maybe I just don't recognize the problem... -

A good friend is a manager at our local Firestone, I still will not them fix even a bicycle... -
Greasy transmission, should I be worried?
They all taste different as well. -
2016 HSE, wet floormats, and can't find the drain ends!
Not to derail, but my cowl experience. This is super easy, do it yourself. They seem to warp even if mostly kept in the garage. The 2013 and 2015 both need replacements. The 2016 I did before it went off to University - because the windshield had a crack and was replaced, and it needed a new... -
2016 HSE, wet floormats, and can't find the drain ends!
Just for general info. The cowling at the bottom of the windshield warps, whether or not it has been garaged. Look at the seal at the bottom of the windshield, water can get in there. Once it's apart, you will see that your air intake is on the passenger side and water can flow into that air... -
Loosing a little bit of coolant
Speaking as a Ph.D. level chemist with my emphasis in water chemistry... ALL ultra pure water, whether De-Ionized, Reverse Osmosis or Ultra-Distilled is incredibly aggressive and corrosive. Because, well, water is the closest thing to a universal solvent and it much prefers NOT to be... -
Loosing a little bit of coolant
When I was young you could buy coolant density gauges with little floaty balls that told you when you got the mix correct. I recall they had a brand name on them, was it Prestone? Anyway, one of those might be useful if using the water flush technique. And that water is DISTILLED water... -
Greasy transmission, should I be worried?
On a superficial level the process is the same, sure - take it apart and put it together:D, but in practice, NO, the procedures have many important differences. The last major project I did before making any videos was actually the ZF8, so that truck is done - but I have since purchased another...
