Transmission issue when cold?
Yeah. Once you have cracked the tranny open and have the mecatronic off it’s not that big a deal to do the zip kit and solenoids. Don’t forget to get the separator plate if you do the zip kit. -

5.0 L Water Pump OEM brands vs Aftermarket vs Genuine
yeah, well LR did redesign the crossovers... so they did something right i think. as for AB, that is the OEM part, but i think they would offer an aftermarket version if it was better... Ala EBC brake kits compared to OE. -
5.0 L Water Pump OEM brands vs Aftermarket vs Genuine
Yeah, i would say that Atlantic British at least would have an incentive to sell the best aftermarket version they can. in theory, their brand depends on providing decent parts. versus some of the online parts retailers who will sell the cheapest chinese knockoff possible. But seriously why... -
5.0 L Water Pump OEM brands vs Aftermarket vs Genuine
anything that requires significant labor warrants the best part possible IMHO. dont want to repeat at all costs. the big one for me is actually the rental car expense if the car goes down... i need to rent a tahoe at $65/day plus taxes. it adds up -

ARGH! LR4 not starting, clicks and 4x4 screen comes up
stock is an H7. upgrade is an H8. -
Lr4 cruiser or lc4? LR take notes
Yeah I hear the tundra refresh is next. And that video I posted indicated that covid is delaying their rollout of new vehicle lines. I agree on their design needing to come back to reality. the lx predator grill is ridiculous. -
Lr4 cruiser or lc4? LR take notes
Well of course it is way early to say for sure but check out this image of what the new land cruiser might look like. came from An analysis of upcoming Toyotas. Boy it looks like a great cross between the lr4 and cruiser. And he (and other videos tundra related) are talking about v6 turbo... -
Supercharger couple video
For those interested in the noise of the broken isolator samcrac just did a video on buying a dirt cheap Jaguar v8 sc because of an “engine knock” which is the same idea as the v6sc by Eton that we have. Starts about minute 5. -
Has anyone reflashed their 3.0SC V6 aka Tune?
aside from my personal enjoyment, i always question whether this will be supported in the resale market or if the second owner of this truck will question it's tuning as a cause for reliability concern. TBD i suppose. I am trying to get to 150k on this before moving on. at 87k now. So not... -
Has anyone reflashed their 3.0SC V6 aka Tune?
yeah i think that pricing is par for the course. RR, LR, Jag, these are low volume vehicles with rich owners. thus, not a lot of tuners, not a lot of competition. especially for this being an SUV. imagine trying to find a good tune for a ferrari! that would be pricey. it helps that the... -
Multiple System Fault Code then Key Failure
Age? hmmm. without water there shouldn't be any corrosion. -
Hummer EV
Yeah I was thinking that the four wheel steering would help but then I thought ok on the streets if I am parking next to the curb does the four wheel steering steer the rear wheels into the curb when I am trying to do a u turn or get out of a tight spot. Do you end up running the rear up onto... -

Startup ticking noise - exhaust leak or lifters?
As an addendum I notice that the cold start warmup high rev is much faster now that this leak has been fixed. Not sure how that would affect things to shorten the high rev time but it has. -
Startup ticking noise - exhaust leak or lifters?
True. He also gives me rides and picks me up when it’s done. Not bad. Anyway here is the after video. You can hear the difference and separate out the sound more easily. -
Startup ticking noise - exhaust leak or lifters?
My wife just asked what they talk about on the land cruiser forums. She then said it’s probably just a bunch of empty threads. You know it’s tedious when your SO had an awareness of relative reliability. Regardless I will note that it is amazing just how much an exhaust leak can sound like... -
Startup ticking noise - exhaust leak or lifters?
Material failure maybe. I have read about that same issue once before. I think it was on this forum. -

Startup ticking noise - exhaust leak or lifters?
Ok it turned out it was a broken bolt on the passenger side exhaust manifold. Bolt head sheared off. Exhaust was leaking around it. -
Startup ticking noise - exhaust leak or lifters?
Yeah I read that tsb. My primary thought is exhaust leak. I looked at the timing chain through the oil filler and it looks tight. As for the noises, well, these are noisy engines but... when you have lived with it a long tune you can hear any thing that is not a normal part of the buzzes and...
