I am no expert, but if it was a HG and you were losing that much coolant over that length of time, I suspect that you would have some misfire codes, obvious signs of coolant that you could see on your oil dipstick, white smoke from the exhaust, etc.

The valley plate leak can be difficult to spot as there can be multiple paths that the coolant takes. A lot of people see it on the trans housing, but not always.

My first thought would be that whoever swapped the radiator didn't get all of the air out of the system, but 10 months is a long time between fill ups. Was the coolant below L in the spring and recently?

Hi @gaijin - would you be willing to provide the RCTIP for a set of LT285/75R17E 128/125S BFG T/A KO3s for my 2013 LX570?

Overall, my journey was well over 5000 miles, and included 5 National Parks, a few National Monuments, National Forests, and National Recreation Areas. Mid-May is definitely the time to do a trip like this because the weather is mostly good, and the crowds and traffic are slightly more...

So it has clearly been a while since I was actively posting on mud and apparently over a year since I posted in this thread. Suffice it to say, my life has been a bit chaotic the past year. The last post of any kind was an unfortunate one as I had to cancel my trip to LCDC at the last minute in...

Been a while, but we just finished an epic trip through the Arizona Strip/North Rim. ~450 miles of very remote offroad in Parashant-Grand Canyon National Monument, Grand Canyon National Park, Mt Logan Wilderness, and Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Camped on the rim of the Grand Canyon every...

Head gasket. I'll post all the deets once I get through triage.

Greetings all. I am terribly disappointed to say that I will not be able to make it to Ouray. I have received some unfortunate news about my truck and it will not be remedied in time for the event. @psnyman has graciously agreed to lead my Clear Lake/Ophir Pass run. I will post more details soon.

Shouldn’t be a problem with me as I’ll be the thin, young looking, attractive guy in the LX with a perfect paint job. I’ll be the one that looks like a young Brad Pitt.

Nothing is necessarily required, but also, it is generally expected that you are prepared for the trails and conditions on hand, and that you assume responsibility for your own well being and that you also not risk the safety of others. My own opinion is that this would include all the normal...

8/3 gives you a good 36 hours travel/shower time.

If I remember correctly, that section was down to one lane the last time lcdc was in Ouray. The wait times were over an hour or more.

It has been crazy wet up there and most trails are closed in most districts. Seems like in years past, it usually was only a week or two off dry weather before they opened the gates back up.
