Beware: OEM vs Garbage
At 47k, my 2016 crossover pipe seemed in perfect condition. I even poked at it to test the base for weakness or degradation, but couldn’t detect any. I bought it used, so it’s possible that it was previously replaced, but I doubt it. For one thing, the new part was obviously different from the... -
Lifted suspension/calibration issue
OK, it happened again. I'd calibrated the height using the IID too, carefully. Turned it around in the driveway this evening on a slight slope, and the front seemed too high. I measured it, and sure enough it was about an inch higher than it was supposed to be. Rear was OK. What could be making... -
Beware: OEM vs Garbage
Ok, I’ll ask the dumb question: what is the difference between OE Land Rover and OEM? Aren’t they both Original Equipment Manufacturer parts? -
New rear bumper…mounting key antenna?
My Tactical rear bumper finally arrived. Pulling off the stock bumper cover, i found not only the parking sensors on that harness, but a part that appears to be a keyless entry antenna, too. It wasn’t even screwed on to anything, just kind of sitting between the foam and the cover. Since it’s... -
Coolant pipe failure (SCV6)
What he said. I was assuming this was PART of "first inspection." -
Coolant pipe failure (SCV6)
Boy, so much depends on what happened between when the coolant was lost and when you shut down the engine, it is really hard to say. There is not really any harm I can see in trying to fix the immediate problem, correctly refill with coolant, and try to run it. If correcting the immediate... -
Lifted suspension/calibration issue
The system seems to work fine overall, provided it is calibrated. I just wonder what threw off the calibration. I do think that it would make more sense to calibrate all three ride heights to better allow for sensor variance. PS - how do you use the IID tool to enter “precision mode” or... -
Lifted suspension/calibration issue
I installed the SYA kit and Rhino rods on my 2016 HD not too long ago, and calibrated everything using my IID tool. Everything seemed to go smoothly and all functions seemed to work. I could lower to access height and raise to offroad height. At a camp spot over the weekend, I decided to see if... -
Air strut gone bad?
If you can make it leak without the engine running, use a stethoscope to help isolate where the leak is coming from. Check out this thread, which outlines a good way to narrow down which component may be leaking. -
SYA Kit, Oversize Tires and Stability Control
I doubt your tires are your issue unless they are inflated wrong. I have 275/70R18s and don’t have the issues you describe. -
Air strut gone bad?
If it was raising before the SYA kit but not after, my bet would be on a leaky connection. I know you checked, but…pretty coincidental. Other possibility might be a cracked hose, but more likely a leaky connection. Happy hunting! -
MPG Decline Over Time
I did a quick google search but didn't turn up anything: I wonder what is a "normal" loss in MPG for a vehicle correlated with odometer reading? To the OP, great data capture! -
Foam mats on either side of engine
When I replaced the coolant components on my engine, I pulled those ugly foam mats off the side of the engine. It seems like a great way to heat up electronic components that would prefer to be cooler. I can't say that I notice a huge difference in noise, either. Anyone else get rid of these? -
Gas Leak at Tank
Is there no secondary fuel filter? Just the one in the tank? -
Offroad performance test
Took my 2016 HD HSE (named Clarkson) for a weekend trip to the Oregon coast this weekend. Very comfortable! On the way back, we stopped in at the Tillamook State Forest OHV area and ran a blue trail called Hoodraiser. Not a super difficult trail, but it's very muddy up there right now. The new... -
Alarm system eyeroll
OK, I guess I can see that, but...the alarm part? If the doors are locked, nobody is getting in without causing a ruckus Mom would notice anyway. Anyway, gripe over...nothing to see here. -
Alarm system eyeroll
Opened up the back gate to rearrange some cargo and fold up the middle row of seats. Since I was in the middle row of seats after all that, it seemed pretty natural to go out one of the rear doors instead of climbing over the back seat to get out the same way I came in. BEEP BEEP BEEEEEP... -
Rear Crossover (Heater Manifold) failure mode?
I really wonder if there is an incompatibility issue between the O-rings and the plastic. Mine were fine, but the way some of those failures look, it's as if the O-rings have leached the plasticizer out of the plastic and caused the failure of both the rubber and the plastic. -
Tailgate weight rating
Wow! What part of the tailgate seems to be bending? If the static load rating is on the order of 500lbs., I wouldn't expect a couple hundred pounds of mildly dynamic loading to matter. -
Intro! Firenze in HD
That's pretty nice. Heck, I'd be happier with a rubber mat that actually had enough give/stickiness to it that cargo didn't slide around on it. I think the one I have is just vinyl with ridges. -
Rear Crossover (Heater Manifold) failure mode?
Oil in the intake seems to be pretty normal, and given the PCV issues caused in some other vehicles, it actually seemed pretty light to me on my 47k engine. -
Suspension tuning
Thinking/spitballing aloud: Cornering hard wears outside of tires more. I have no idea how MUCH more wear you're describing. Alignment wasn't done right, so you're still not aligned. Try another shop? Measuring wear wrong or imprecisely - you said "still having the issue" but I don't know how... -
Resting current draw on battery
I did some experiments on my vehicle and hope that the data might help others out. I suspect that my issue was only that I had the hood open for repairs, and that won't allow the vehicle to shut down properly. I disconnected the hood sensor and shorted it out, and then measured the current flow... -
Does low range automatically engage center lock?
Experiment done. It locks the rear dif in normal mode.
