Well, I found my problem. The shop that I JUST paid $2600 to do front wheel bearings, window regulator, and manifold cover gaskets did NOT do the bearings correctly. There was old grease still in the hub, tons of metal shavings, NO LOCK RING installed, etc. It also looks like they did not...

Thanks for the tips! I'm dropping it off tomorrow morning at a known good Cruiser mechanic. He'll double check the bearing job, check rear bearings, etc. If anybody can track down my problem, he can. I'll post back if we come up with a solution!

2000 LC with 302k miles. I've done front wheel bearings in the past few weeks thinking that was my problem. I have NOT done, or really checked the rear bearings yet. This started when my trac control light flashes and beeps at 35 mph when turning sharp to the right. That problem persisted...

Old thread, but I wanted to post my problem and solution. I've replaced just about every possible suspension part on the front end over the past few years. I recently bought new tires (285/75R16 Open Country RT Trail) and FINALLY bit the bullet on a new rack and pinion that has been leaking...

Just started today, what seemed random at first, has been confirmed to be EVERY TIME I release the brake pedal, all doors unlock? Any thoughts? I checked all fuses, and checked the rear hatch wiring harness from some other posts I read about.

Mine are running at 36psi as well. They are a 10 ply tire, which is the case for 90% of A/T or M/T tires in 285 or larger. If you stick with stock size, you can find 6 ply. Personally I didn’t notice a huge difference when I went to my first set of 10 ply. But, I’ve been running them so long...

No idea, I still have my stock spare under there. Heck, it’s probably 20 years ok’d too!

Just upgraded to some Nitto Trail Grapplers. The tires I had previously were Kelly TSR safari in the same size. I like the looks of those tires, but I have since learned due to the harder rubber compound that extends the tire life, you also sacrifice traction when wet and in other scenarios. The...

Odd problem that I’ve run into. After an overnight rain, there is a beeping such as the ABS alarm and the odometer is lit up as if it has power. Starts and runs just fine. The first time, the ABS light was on for a short time and then went off. My guess is there’s water dripping in somehow...

I spoke to Shannon, the battery light came back on after a few more miles of driving. It was odd, I saw slight voltage drop when the light went off. Then 20 miles later the battery light pops back on and the voltage jumped back up ever so slightly on my gauge. I have checked the battery is...

Light went off after 200+ miles. Other than one or two slight voltage fluctuations at about the same time, all is well

Road trip headed home and my alternator bit the dust. Battery light came on, confirmed it was not charging. I bought a battery to give me 50 miles to a mechanic with and replace the alternator. Everything is charging fine and running great, but the dang battery light is still on? I’m not...

How old is your Cruiser? It's probably time for a replacement / rebuild...which means there's no way around it. You'll need to pull it for either. Personally, if I'm going to the trouble or expense of pulling the starter out, I'm going to replace with a quality part instead of rebuilding...

Rear wiper motor / relay assembly! Shoot me a price shipped to Little Rock, AR. PM direct if you like, or post here. Thank you!

I've recently been through some throttle body sensor issues that caused my idle to go crazy. Have you ever replaced your Throttle Position Sensor? They can / do go bad from time to time. They need to be adjusted when installed. My Autozone part was garbage, but a Toyota TPS cured my problem...
