    Is HD package so useful in snow?

    locking rear diffs have a solenoid on them. Not sure if the fitting for the solenoid exists on non-lockers. Also the internals have to be different, right?

    Is HD package so useful in snow?

    While the rear locker probably doesn't play a huge part regular snow driving, it is pretty fun to mash on the gas in snow mode from a dead stop and feel the center and rear lock a half second later and the whole truck rockets forward. Other than that, I'm sure it comes into play in precarious...

    Washington, DC - Lots of 5.0 V8 engine parts

    My 2013 LR4 had an engine transplant done and some parts off of the old engine are up for grabs. Engine had 115k. A sample of what I have. Prices listed or make me an offer: 2 high pressure fuel pumps(original) ($40 each, 70 for both). Oil pump: $50 4 knock sensors: 10 each for 30 for all of...

    Is HD package so useful in snow?

    For 2014+ models, the HD package is much more important as it has 1)a 2sp xfer case 2)a rear locker and 3) a full size spare. Without the HD, you get a center Torsen, which is probably enough for snow but you then have a heavy AWD tall wagon. For 10-13 models, you get a 2sp xfer case by...

    Did I break something?

    It's a tad more complicated(but not much) to align these trucks than a regular car, due to the air suspension and the need to put it in tight tolerance mode. I've used the firestone lifetime alignment program on mine and some locations won't align it while others will. Apparently the older...

    SAD ENDING TO OUR LR4

    Yikes. Glad everyone is OK, that looks like a serious wreck. Would be curious to see what they offer you.

    Higher output alternator?

    The PWM system sure is interesting. I got a new alternator put in as part of the engine transplant and since then, it has been showing 14.7 when driving. However, last week I noticed that while on the road, it would dip to 12.2-12.4 for 5-10 minutes at a time. That's normal PWM behavior right...

    I disabled my tpms 2 years ago and haven't looked back.

    Back in Action! Seized Engine Replaced

    It was an ebay find. A wrecker in Hammonton, NJ called EL&M auto parts.

    Back in Action! Seized Engine Replaced

    I will say that the replacement engine runs MUCH quieter with new injectors than the old one. The chains were not replaced on it. I'd venture to guess as the injectors wear or get gunked up, they get louder.

    Crazy I know but any 19" wheel suggestions?

    A better bet is to keep the 20s and put fatter tire on them. The 20in selection is infinitely better. The size that works rather well(from experience) is 275 55 20.

    Back in Action! Seized Engine Replaced

    These are all very good and valid points. The shop and I had a conversation about this before I went through the process of sourcing an engine. They made it clear that they would not be responsible if the engine ended up being bad and I would still be responsible for the labor if they put it in...

    Crazy to add Tactical Rear bumper at 104k?

    I found this out the hard way but if you already have a bunch of upgrades+the truck runs well, if the truck craps the bed(let's say the engine seizes), the decision to keep it and fix it becomes a lot easier...

    Speedometer recalibration with IID Tool

    Yup, I figured it out. The speedo is pretty accurate now. I can post the settings tomorrow.

    They are, until they're not...and usually when they go, they go big!

    Back in Action! Seized Engine Replaced

    So after almost 1.5 excruciating months without my truck, I finally am back in business. Ended up buying a used engine on Ebay and found a local shop who has done these swaps in the past(and does a fair number of them per year, unfortunately). Recap below for anyone who missed the initial...

    LR4 Binding Brakes

    It sounds like your caliper sliding pins are sticking. Make sure you use silicone grease on them and nothing else. They should be able to move freely. Get new pins and boots. One of the pins on each side is a bushed pin, so make sure you install properly.

    18’ wheel suggestions for my black 2010 LR4

    I ended up deactivating the tpms system a long time ago. The LR4 system is not very good and doesn't allow you to see individual tire pressures, so it was more annoying than useful.

    Dealer does not recommend changing transmission filter...ever?

    for people doing the pan swap, highly recommend the lubelocker upgraded pan gasket to prevent leaks.

    part numbers - updated crossover pipes?

    Thanks. After reading some more, it looks like the updated parts are for the 14+ SCv6 version.

    part numbers - updated crossover pipes?

    An update to my saga - I have secured a used engine out of a wrecked 2013 and a shop is going to put it in for me. It won't be cheap, but still less expensive than getting something else with its own unknowns. While the engine is out, I am going to do some preventative things. Namely -...

    Selling question

    labor is looking like 5k, i just bought a used engine(2013, 84k miles) for 6900. I'm guessing it will be 13k when all is said and done.

    Selling question

    Well done! I am getting the engine replaced and then will most likely sell it shortly thereafter.

    Selling question

    Out of curiosity, how much did you end up fetching on ebay? Thanks!

    Lost power, died, now won't crank. Any ideas?

    Was full before. No smells, no puddles, no smoke. Engine cannot be turned by hand. Big mystery but my money is on something catastrophic.
