Fresh Mobil 1 5W-30, OEM filter, and a cruise through the National Forest on the way home from lunch. Fall is in the air for sure.

I would also guess in this case, the sender is bad. Just in case - REMEMBER - DO NOT hook up the wire on the sender spade by mistake, instead of the brass center nipple - you will FRY your gauge.

You win the 60 series carnage award of the year. That is some impressive damage.

Timely thread, I'll be swapping out a t-case soon.

I found USA stock for all of these. I ordered enough to do some extras. If the parts are good quality, I'll post where I ordered them and the stock numbers.

It is a great boat. It found me some years back. A guy at work at the time asked if I wanted to buy it for $300. He got it barely used from a co-worker, took it out 1 time and dumped it getting in with his wife in it. That was the end of the...

I want your boat.

Have the other guys done a multi-day Death Valley run? If so, start by asking what they bring.

Past couple of weeks I've been hauling a 16' Dagger with the Lexus to south Alabama to float the Choctawhatchee and Pea rivers for turtle research.

I don't rotate often enough, usually don't notice front tire wear until it's almost too late. What I've been doing is buy 5 new tires and include the spare in the rotation. When this set wears out I'll buy 4 and keep the best of the previous...

Yes, as long as Bubba the local mechanic never touches it.

This is my 5th set, 4 on the FJ60 (255/85/16) and now these 285/75/16. If I strictly drove on the paved road these would be a poor choice. They're good as a general dirt, mud, sand, rock, trail, forest road, etc. tire. They're ok in the rain...

Once I had the LX450 sorted out regarding engine and brake issues I began putting it to use as a field vehicle, so far that has mainly been boat towing and canoe hauling. I was back on the Pea River this week and with a little rope tweaking...

We had to backtrack 30+ miles but it was different scenery going that direction At the crossroads we hit the road south to Hite Crossing. We had to get gas for some and we went south to Ticaboo. I ran all of that from Green River to Doll...

5th stage. Ridgway CO to Vegas. Day one We are in Utah and there is snow

Heretic. I had a 22R, bought it with ca. 25k on it, when I sold it it had > 200k and I ran Castrol 20-50 during that time.

"Being Rebellious" FWIW - I have an '86 2F rebuilt, and installed in my rig about 10 years ago, I've run nothing but 20W50 since.....that was on the recommendation of the engine builder. Also, I daily drive my 40 year around. :hillbilly:

No problem running diesel oil such as Shell Rotella in a F engine. I have a rebuilt 2F that has > 300k miles on it that I have mainly used Rotella 15-40 in it. For your area the 10-30 would be a better choice.

If the CEL is working and you can pull codes from that then do so, that will give you some direction in finding the issue.

Crack in that exhaust port that opens up when warm?

No, you do not need this.
