    Write up: High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) Replacement

    I would say a touch under as much as you should put on a oil plug.. Sorry for the lack of technicality, but it was too tight for a torque wrench and I tried to reverse about how much torque it took to break them loose.. They are indeed on there, and I was balancing "tight" with "don't snap it...

    Write up: High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) Replacement

    120k.. I was watching a video with someone giving LR Techs an overview of the 5.0 engine (they literally had one in the room on a stand) and he mentioned that the HPFPs were one of the primary failure points.. I hadn't really heard about them also.. Once I replaced them, the truck acted...

    Write up: High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) Replacement

    It's mostly clearance, but I think that the fuel lines and maybe the right mounting bolt in the front pump are covered by the alternator. I am naturally a lazy person, and if I could have worked around it I would have, but I think it's too tight.. Note those pics with my awesome Stanley...

    LR4 Fuel Issues after alternator fail

    X2 that something is in the way.. I just did all 3 pumps, didn't reset anything, and the gage read properly from the first start.. As you know it's tight in the fuel tank, I'm guessing something is either hitting the arm, or the arm assembly is loose in there.. I HATE to say this, but I think...

    Rear Ladders on LR4

    ..All the Cool Cats run Firenze;) My advice: 1. Frontrunner, Gobi, or Stock. I've seen some new aluminum ones popping up on the auction sites, I wouldn't trust them.. 2. Wherever you have paint and metal touching, apply thin sticky rubber matting to the paint. Use of the ladder can cause a...

    Write up: High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) Replacement

    Pump removal I’m not going to lie- it’s going to get tight here. We’ve got a frame rail right in the way, but plenty of room in front and behind it. Be patient, try different angles for access, and if you start getting frustrated- take a break. We’re going to remove the front pump first, which...

    Write up: High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) Replacement

    Gang, As we get up in miles, these pumps are sure to become an issue. I pieced together information I found on the web and did the job myself, and am glad I did. This job is very doable, the key to saving time is doing things in order. This guide should hopefully sort some of this out, so...

    Molle Plate for the LR4

    Yes, I have one. Details: 1. Love it. 2. I installed with 3m double sided tape on the bottom brackets (which are 3d printed!), instead of the rivnut option. I have a full rotopax and half my recovery gear on it, and it's been solid on 30+ offroad/overlanding trips. 3. These came out waaay too...

    Headlight oxidation

    ...Also! Grab a roll of 3M protective film (don't get the pre-cut, too expensive and these headlights are easy) and wrap them after you get them polished out.. The smartest thing I ever did with my rig was put it on the week I bought it, 130k miles and the are still AS NEW. It's really easy...

    P0328 Knock Sensor

    There you are! This was at Big Iron- absolutely amazing time.. The pump shot craps somewhere in North Oklahoma, made it back to the festival in Kansas and drove back to KCMO the next day.. These things can be finicky, but driving 400 miles with a pump out is a testament to not getting...

    P0328 Knock Sensor

    Closing this one out for posterity- it was a High Pressure Fuel Pump..! These are on the same side of the engine as Bank 1, and must have got loud enough to trip the sensor. The pump failed at an Overlanding Rally- I limped it home. I replaced the pumps and the code cleared, and a couple of...

    Persistent P0430 on my 2012 5.0

    Check for exhaust leaks- these can throw a p0430 code.. I had the exact same issue on my GX470 and it turned out to be a $2 gasket- I almost bought $3k in cats for nothing! Good Luck, Mike

    High Pressure Fuel Pump Question

    Hey Guys, Do you think it's worthwhile to do a write up on the R&R on the High Pressure Fuel Pumps? I've seen a LOT of helpful information, but it's scattered throughout the interwebs and I've yet to see a full write up.. I ask, as I just did mine- here's the details: 1. I had the P0089...

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    Just to confirm, both mating surfaces were cleaned and smooth, correct? Otherwise it might be what txfromwi is alluding to, maybe there may be a flatness/damage to the surfaces..? Possibly, the bolts may not be applying the correct pressure to the pan if they are fighting corrosion/dirt and...
