    P0170 fuel trim and CEL

    I thought about fitting zerks to the A-arms, and grinding a channel around the perimeter where the grease might go. But poly requires silicone lube, which isn't easy to find in a tube. I'm not sure this was a lube problem, though: the ******-bearing part of it seems to have gone first, and is...

    P0170 fuel trim and CEL

    Well, I made it to Moab and back, and the only major problem I had was destroying one of the new poly bushings in a front lower control arm on one of the trails. However, I continued to get that same trouble code in an irregular basis the entire trip. I recorded the MAF sensors, because my...

    P0170 fuel trim and CEL

    Well, the same code has tripped repeatedly on my way here to Moab. No apparent problems, and it seems fine for awhile then trips. The O2 sensor #1 on bank 1 must not have been the problem. Nuts… Hopefully not going to raise issues to run trails down here.

    P0170 fuel trim and CEL

    I ordered new Bosch sensors from Rock Auto, and managed to get the old one out last night on the passenger side. Geez...that is not a job for a guy with hands my size. And I don't really see how to do it on the driver side without removing the driveshaft. I'd rather replace in pairs, but I don't...

    P0170 fuel trim and CEL

    I forgot that someone had helpfully posted that 1 was passenger side. Thank you!

    P0170 fuel trim and CEL

    Thank you. I had already driven back to Portland by the time I posted that, and should have said so. But there is still some urgency because I have a trip to Moab that I leave for this Friday. What you wrote mirrors what I was finding. It further looked like it might be the MAF sensor or, if it...

    P0170 fuel trim and CEL

    I don’t know if this is going to work, to share the PDF this way. But here is what I have. Throttle wouldn’t let me maintain 1500, so it ended up being about 1850 for the mid range. I appreciate the help!

    P0170 fuel trim and CEL

    My 2016 LR4 SCV6, on a trip to Seattle, threw the check engine light. GAP tool reveals that it is the P0170 code, the bank 1 fuel trim. I cleared it and it immediately seems to come back on the GAP tool, although the CEL doesn’t come back on. i vaguely remember that it might have to do with the...

    2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

    I don't remember how I did it, but I do remember feeling so frustrated and in pain (knees, knuckles, and guitar-player fingertips) that I was thinking I'd be fine if the latches just broke off...I could glue it back together. I didn't have to, but boy, is that an awful place to put a difficult...

    275 or 265 with GAP tool only

    I run 275/70R18's, and had to trim the plastic and the frame "horns" that protrude from the rear of the wheel wells. No rubbing with about 1.5" of lift. These are about 33" diameter and 11" width.

    Bad tie rod ends?

    If there is play there, it will feel different from turning against the steering. Steering turn feels fluid and smooth, like peanut butter (not chunky). If there is play, it feels like you have to move your tire a little bit before you even start working against that peanut butter. It will often...

    Aluminum crossovers exist now! (maybe)

    Interesting! Price is not bad, either. But I wish they did the rear pips as well.

    Charging System Error

    Standard voltage readings Using a voltmeter may not work as well as you’d think, due to the PWM charge controller. I’d take it somewhere that can test that specific alternator.

    Coolbox Install

    Devices only draw the amps they need unless there is a short circuit involved. So you can't force "too many amps" into a motor, for example.

    SCV6 overheated and then catastrophe

    I had the same thoughts as @jlglr4 : if it is oil mixed with the coolant, that is not something I’d expect out of a coolant crossover failure. I would double check whether it is oil, transmission fluid (another cooler plumbed into the coolant system) or something else. It might also be...

    SCV6 overheated and then catastrophe

    I’m trying to remember where the oil cooler is on this engine. In addition to looking for splits in the plastic on the new crossovers, yes, but I would also be looking for anywhere oil and coolant are together. The head gasket isn’t the only place. The other thing that strikes me is that you...

    Check Engine Light: Camshaft Position Sensor - Circuit Open

    Everyone on this forum owes the beverage of their choices* to the individuals here who regularly offer incredibly helpful feedback like this. It's kind of amazing. *perhaps not all in the same sitting.

    Water pump nipple

    I appreciate this. And yes, this IS something I had thought about doing. In terms of space and area for a lot of flow, it looked to me like the most opportune place to tap into was the upper radiator hose. This also has the advantage that if something goes wrong with the system, I can return a...

    Water pump nipple

    Handy to have your expertise here. I'm trying to make a heat exchanger shower for overlanding, and the easiest way for me to plumb it in is to sweat some Y's using copper tubing. Do you think either the copper or the solder is going to present problems with galvanic corrosion in the OAT coolant?

    Just exceeded warranty, where is everyone buying oil and Filters from to perform fluid change

    LR Time recently had a YT video about changing the oil viscosity for the diesel LR4 engine. Part of what caught my attention was the research he had done on actual viscosity, and what was driving the pursuit of lower viscosities: emissions and mileage at the expense of engine wear. He talked...

    I'd be interested in seeing the how, though.

    5.0 V8 Fueling and Efficiency Questions

    Really informative video, regardless. And a little depressing. Wonder how much of what he said applies also to the SCV6?
