    Coolant leak from Transmission?

    I agree with Azoo.. If you want to see your tranny fluid, a laser pyrometer will work fine.. If you warm the tranny up to 40-50 degrees Celsius and crack the fill plug (leave the truck running), you should get some drips of fluid out that you can compare to the the other drips via smell...

    Coolant leak from Transmission?

    We may need to have the system pressurized to find the leak.. If it drips from the tranny bolts only, we will have to regroup and figure out how in the holy hell you are spitting coolant out of your tranny.. Right now, our collective fingers are crossed that is not happening. Do you have an...

    Coolant leak from Transmission?

    I am unaware of any place that could introduce coolant into the transmission.. Can someone chime in on how that could happen? So far we know: 1. You are steadily loosing coolant 2. You have something that looks a LOT like coolant on the transmission bolts. So how is it getting there..? Is...

    Coolant leak from Transmission?

    That coolant is not coming from your transmission. If your coolant was low, that is a pretty strong signal that something has given up the ghost in the coolant system- and it appears to be splashed there from driving. I would wager that it's coming from the rear crossover pipe or somewhere...

    Sign of Things to Come?

    Is there (hopefully) a chance you ran something over? See RyanJL's post above- this usually is immediately followed by a repetitive clicking when moving or a catastrophic failure of the component.. Any fluid under the bushings or diff? Also, see ktm525's advice above.. If my wife finds my...

    2016 LR4 ran out of gas, how to clear CEL?

    Have you pulled the code? I've had CELs shut off, but the code is stored.. Something tells me if it's still on then something's not reporting/indicating correctly.. Mike

    Looking at the LR4 for a family hauler

    I live in Kansas City, also bought mine sight-unseen in Greenville SC. Flew there and drove it home.. The dealer (Masarati) sold me a warranty that has paid for itself twice over now- and I still have 32k and 3 years to go on it.. LCAs, new injectors, door lock, etc.. Mike

    Cooper Zeon LTZ Off-Road tires on Stock 19" Wheels

    Lesson learned: Measuring interior noise on a vehicle has a lot of variables. Bumps, wind hitting the truck, and other traffic really mess with having a standardized process. This was done on the same length of road, with other vehicles at least 50 feet away. The readings are the lowest...

    How is your new D5?

    Ah! Thanks, that makes sense.. Perhaps if I RTFM more often I'd know that.. I'm wondering if the camera issue has to do with a connection, I have random cameras going out all the time now... Mike

    Brake Pads

    I have 100 miles on my new set of Hawk LTS, so I'll be able to give some more meaningful feedback about dust in about a week. I was also SICK of cleaning those damn rims, and after doing some research here I went with the Hawks.. With the stock rotors, braking is just about the same as the...

    LR4 v. New Disco

    After spending a bunch of time in both trucks, I felt that this thread was only a matter of time as there is a lot of hubbub about which one is better. Here's how I rate them, with which vehicle is better in each category: Engine: LR4 (5 liter). They say that there isn't much of a power...

    Cooper Zeon LTZ Off-Road tires on Stock 19" Wheels

    I happen to have a DB sound meter, and am going to do a comparison when I get my tires swapped next week. I'm curious to see how much louder the new tires will be.. In order to get a baseline of data, I'll test the Connis (10% tread left) at 40, 50, 60, and 70 mph.. Let me know if those...

    RyanJL, My Duratracs will be here tomorrow.. Does this mean we are upgrading trails at the LR event next year? Congrats on the new tires, Mike

    How to scroll through FM radio stations?

    Hahahaha! I hate reading TFM, but the answer usually seems to be in there somewhere.. I didn't know that either, thanks! Mike

    New guy checking in...

    New Guy, This is from a previous thread I dug up: "This TSB was issued a few years back for MY2010-11s affected by the SiriusXM lineup change that happened in mid-2011 and screwed up a few of the older tuners in the process. Don't know if this applies to you, but here is the bulletin (sat...

    Engine oil analysis results on 2010 LR4 V8

    MBW- There are a couple of catch cans out on the net that say they will fit the LR4, but I haven't heard of anyone trying them.. In a different life, it worked wonders on my 5.7L Grand Cherokee and everyone on the forums were using them.. Mike

    How is your new D5?

    Yeah, I figured it out the next day. I just knew they couldn't have overlooked that.. :D When is the first software upgrade going to come in? Glitches are becoming more prevalent: 1. Cameras sometimes won't work (complete with a message to have the dealer service them) 2. Screen goes...

    New guy checking in...

    New Guy, Welcome. I think you should contact the dealer to see if they can load the Sirius XM option, I have it on mine and cannot see how it can be removed or added.. I'm not sure about question 2.. Someone should chime in.. Mike P.S. 170k miles?! That's fantastic, any major repairs or...

    Looking for a TSB on fuel injector replacement

    Update: The warranty company conceded- 8 new injectors on the way. I sent the dealer rep a screenshot of the SRO 19.60.12 Umberto found, and he called back this morning with the good news. The dealership was pressing them hard for it, and I have to think this input strengthened the case...

    Extended Warranty

    Just got a call back from the dealer, $4,000+ in injector work covered by my warranty. I am now in the green on the warranty, and didn't have to un-hide any of my secret Cessna fund for the repairs.. The warranty company was initially reluctant, but the dealership and myself (with the...

    Transmission Fault on the freeway

    Man, that sucks.. Can you talk to the mechanic and see what drove him to that opinion? I would hope that the P0783 would be a solenoid.. Did they see something in the fluid or pan to lead them to believe a catastrophic failure occurred? I don't know a ton about these ZF boxes, but when I...

    Looking for a TSB on fuel injector replacement

    Thanks Umberto, that's better than anything I could find and I scanned a good portion of the FSM last night..! Depending on what codes they pulled, that may be what we are looking for.. I forwarded them the info, and will be keeping my fingers crossed.. Thanks again man, I'll let you know how...

    Looking for a TSB on fuel injector replacement

    I think they are P0171 and P0174, I recall getting those earlier but I didn't ask the dealer which specific codes they were getting.. The wife was driving and said the Check Engine Light went off, and I have been travelling so much lately I just booked an appointment at the shop.. Thanks very...
