    New Shock Option Soon!

    Ask and you shall receive. After no more than 1 hour after posting the above pics, I was contacted and told the warranty is going to cover my broken shock. Looks like Slee took care of business. And Bilstien too.

    New Shock Option Soon!

    Broke my right rear last week. Got them from Slee in the package set up. Trying to get a replacement through warranty. So far, no movement yet. We'll see...

    Starting, idling problem

    Load test the battery. This cold weather is going to send marginal batteries to the grave.

    Alignment needed?

    No alignment needed. The only time an alignment would be needed is if you replaced the shocks on a Macpherson strut front end. At least that is the only time that comes to mind.

    strange vibrations

    Engine mounts are pretty easy to diagnose as a problem. Have a friend sit in the car and move the transmission from reverse to drive. You stand out of the way on the side of the car with the hood open, and watch the engine. IF the engine rocks back and forth excessively in the engine bay, then...

    Fuel Issue - Leakdown fail

    I know I am late to the thread here, but I wanted to add two things. With fuel injected engines, if the test fuel pressure is even just one psi below the spec, the fuel pump should be changed. The idea is that if a fuel pump at idle only is barely able to keep up with the minimal flow demand...

    Locked differential driving experience

    From the FAQ section in the 80 series forum. All you need to know about diff lockers with pictures. Just insert "100 series" every time you see the words "80 series". http://www.lcool.org/technical/diffs/diffs.html

    Squeaking noise when reversing

    That's loud enough that you can have a friend listen outside the car and tell you if it originates from the front or back. I would first guess that it could be a u-joint. Easy enough to lube all 4 and see if it goes away. Second guess is that a brake pad is done and that is the wear indicator...

    Humming Noise when Coasting. Update 9/6/23

    Man, I'm sorry this is happening to you. I have been down this path with my 80 also. I too have an extra T case on my shelf in the garage along with rear axles and such. I still have a vibration around 60 mph but have learned to live with it. It can be maddening to keep looking and not find...

    New member. Alternator failing after three days? 100 series.

    Did you have the old alternator spin tested to make sure it was indeed fried? Why not take the new one and have it spin tested and see if it is putting out the 14+ volts under load? If it is, the problem isn't the alternator. If it is fried, it would seem to be a warrenty issue, unless I am...

    Michelin LTX AT/2 blowout

    You have a huge difference in tread depth between the main tread and the shoulder of the tire. Don't know if it was tire pressure, or another problem, but that tire has been worn out for a while.

    Trip to Moab and Ouray in the 100. Suggestions on places to go?

    The books by this guy are pretty good. It use to be that he had three separate ones for Colorado depending on where you want to play, but I only see one now. He has one specifically for Moab. Do a trail and see what you think of his ratings and how they fit your expectations, then go from...

    2005 transmission fluid DIY questions

    The unfortunate part of all these stories is the same. Take a transmission with problems and flush the fluid thinking it will solve those problems generally leads to the transmission failing shortly afterwards. Changing the fluid as preventive maintenance on a good working transmission is...

    Engine over heating

    Is there anything in the overflow bottle? That's the first place to start. Then pull the radiator cap and see if there is antifreeze. Water pump has a weep hole that antifreeze will drip out of when it goes bad. Look for stains under the water pump. Many times the fluid will evaporate...

    2001 LX470 no crank when cold, Only when Warmer than 40f

    I bet your battery is bad. Nothing connected to it, each cell should produce 2.1 volts. A 12 volt battery has 6 cells. Minimum No-load voltage is 12.6 Volts on a good battery. The temperature symptom follows along also. If you are ever stranded in the outback, and your battery won't start...

    How Much to Bite off - tie rods, ball joints, wheel bearing, CV's, etc

    Interesting. What exactly do you have to pass? If your front end doesn't click when going around a corner, I would bet the CV's are fine. IF they don't click, but the boots are ripped, then they need service but the boots can be replaced without paying for all new CV axles. Wheel bearings...

    Rear Heater Bypass?

    Strong vibration between 50-70 mph, unbalanced tires/wheels?

    This is a big problem. If you fill up the slip joint untill grease is forced out of the seal, it is WAY to much. The grease is UN-compressible and is now pushing outward as if to increase the length of your driveshaft. Very bad for pinion bearings and transfer case output bearings. The fix...

    CV Boots/Axle/Front Bearings Replacement side effects help

    FYI - I ordered all the parts to do a reboot job on the front CV's along with front U-joints from Toyota Parts deal. They canceled the entire order two weeks later and said everything is back ordered with no indication of when they will become available. I sure hope this is simply a hic-up...
