Does my engine sound normal?
Here are those values from my Gap: Values after a 1 mile drive to highway on ramp: Values after warmed up on highway driving: -

Does my engine sound normal?
I honestly don't remember which specific values, but I do remember checking the intake and exhaust camshaft degrees for a whole week after removing my heads and redoing my chains. The cams are variable timing and they constantly adjust. The 2 banks are different from each other, but in my case... -
Does my engine sound normal?
If you take off the engine cover, turn off the radio, open your windows, and drive it uphill under load while feathering the accelerator you might hear some chain noise. To me, that video shows signs of chain slapping. If you have a Gap IID Tool, you can also check the intake and exhaust... -
What kind of leak is this?
Once the chain snaps, it's a catastrophic failure. Seen it first hand. It's worth saving if the chains are still in tact. Just clear the adaptation values after the repairs and it'll relearn the new values. This is where a good code reader comes in handy, like the Gap IID Tool. -
What kind of leak is this?
@shinckley08 If you "fill here too", it'll get coolant to the rear of the block and it will have enough coolant to push air pockets out of the block. It makes it easier to burp the system without a coolant vacuum tool. -
Alternatives to GAP tool?
My only issue with the JLR Mongoose with SDD software is finding a dedicated Windows XP or Windows 7 OS, the last time I checked back in 2016. I wonder if they developed/support the latest Microsoft OS versions. -
Upper fuse box
That's awesome! Thanks for the link @Daveykid. I have a bunch of files that I wish I could share with this group. -
Upper fuse box
Interesting... I had no idea there's a fuse box behind the upper glove box. That would be THE worst place to put one, because it's hard as h-e-c-k to get to. I've personally opened it up and there's nothing back there on my '11 LR4. Here's an electrical wiring diagram of mine and it's pretty... -
Upper fuse box
I promise you there's no fuse box behind the upper glove box. If you feel compelled to find out, you'll need to remove the center console to remove the center passenger air vent and the outer air vent to access prying out the plastic glove box. You need to pry on it till you think you're about... -
Alternatives to GAP tool?
Unfortunately, GAP IID Tool is the only way to go. Where did you buy the GAP tool? -
Upper fuse box
There are 2 main fuse boxes, one in the engine bay and the other behind the lower glove box. Just drop the lower glove box and pinch the plastic latch in to completely drop the lower glove box to reveal the fuse panel behind it. US version is just the opposite side, but same thing shown in this... -
Coolant Temps - 5.0
Don't get me wrong... I was watching the temps with a close eye. I'm scared too. I'm more scared of my wife yelling at me trying to blast the heater in +115*F temps wheeling out in the desert trying to cool down the motor. -
Hyundai just built a LR4
Yeah, I feel like others are stepping up and in to fill the LR4 market. -
Adding Pentofrost SF to OEM LR Coolant?
Hmm... that's a good question about topping off with other brands of OAT coolants with different colors. If it was me, I'd put on my shoes and get oem. I wouldn't want to question the cooling system doing it's job over driving 30 mins away to get the right stuff. I had my share of cooling... -
Adding Pentofrost SF to OEM LR Coolant?
While you're at it, this would be a perfect time to switch to dexcool. Dexcool is abundant EVERYWHERE and can find it at any remote gas station. You can probably find some Jeep guys carrying some out on the trails too. Just saying... I swapped mine out 5 years ago and I'm more than happy with... -

2015 LR4 SCV6 Gas Mileage
I really dislike these mpg questions, because it reminds me of how chitty mine is. I always fill up to the top, reset my trip odometer, and calculate my mpgs with this formula (miles driven / gallons filled). I'm running a FRO roof rack, Terrafirma tire carrier, skid plates, rock sliders... -
Coolant Temps - 5.0
I wouldn't be worried about it. In high temps in Death Valley, CA around +115*F, I typically see coolant temp on my Gap IID Tool around 210-215*F at the engine and 185-200*F before the thermostat while blasting the AC. -
Exhaust manifold removal - Torx Size?
Yup, tedious work but manageable. I took it a step further and retapped all the holes. I should have replaced those oem exhaust manifold bolts with something else since 2 of them were missing the hex head. -
Exhaust manifold removal - Torx Size?
It's not a special torx size as I recall. I had the socket size in my Harbor Freight Torx set. Are you removing the heads to get to your exhaust manifolds? If so, good luck! I've done it and it's tedious just to replace my exhaust manifold gaskets. I also found broken bolts, so have some extra... -
Low Battery Warning while camping overnight....
In unobstructed open areas, the key fob has some range. Just a fair warning... when using a faraday bag or box, just make sure it's on you vs inside the truck. If someone accidentally locks the truck with a push of a button on the handle, you'll be busting a window open. I have this one... -
Low Battery Warning while camping overnight....
I've dealt with a LOT of battery issues. The truck goes to sleep after a few minutes even with doors open. It only goes into deep sleep with the truck locked. When in sleep mode and not locked, it'll try to communicate with the key fob waiting in listening mode. I actually use a faraday key... -
Low Battery Warning while camping overnight....
Only when camping do I leave them off by default throughout the trip. Easy enough to momentarily tap the lights on/off when needed. After the trip, I reactivate them full time. I switched to leds, I can't imagine the draw on incandescent lights. I can, but that's why I switched to leds. -
Low Battery Warning while camping overnight....
Turn off/on the interior lights by holding the center button for 5-10 seconds and a message will appear in the dashboard.
