The folks excited about this thread have an RV that can pull the truck and have a preference for flat tow with many reasons that only an RVer will appreciate. Most newer Ford based Class Cs have 7500lb tow ratings, so this is a great option for 100 series owners who picked up a newish RV in the...

Yes. See this post: busted ignition - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/busted-ignition.57050/post-13900582

I've replaced it twice now; once every 10 years. Once it broke in my driveway, the other when my son had the rig about 10 miles away. If someone else drives the rig, proactively changing a 10+ year old rod, in the comfort of your garage/driveway, on your own schedule, is worth considering.

Based on my experience, that rod has a 10 year/100,000 mile life expectancy. The first time replacing the entire ignition bracket takes time and tools as you will need to drill out the security bolts and replace them with the appropriate M head, so you really don't want to be doing that remotely...

I've been having this problem for years. One button never worked while many worked only after repeated mashing of the button. Finally pulled the boards apart today and pulled off one of the blue rubber caps. I inspected the black pill in the back of the cap and measured resistance, which varied...

I was tempted to do something similar using plumbers putty. But the label says not safe with ABS plastic, and when I did some research it seems that some plastics will react with some clays. I didn't have anything around that was recommended in other threads (screen spline, rubber tubing) so I...

The plastic filter fell out without any effort for me, but the tip on shoving the bag up and down was exactly what I needed. Took about 2 minutes of shoving up and down and pulling. Before putting the new one in I shook the bag a few times to move the beads away from the bottom then put it in...

Potential preventative solution - Try at your own risk Picked up a new bracket from the dealer ($200) yesterday morning. It took me 3 hours to replace the entire bracket assembly. It would have been faster except that 1) I was dealing with 110 degree heat here in Phoenix (note to self - solid...

IT BROKE AGAIN after 11 Years In March 2010 I replaced the entire bracket p/n 45280-60510 with a genuine Toyota part when this happened to my 2000 LX470. I drilled out the security bolts and I mounted the new part with hex bolts as per other posts. I am unhappy to report that today it has...

Long time lurker here - registered just to say that this thread was great. '00 LX740 - this is the second time that my rear AC has gone bad. First time was 7 years ago and I needed the rear AC working so I paid a shop to fix it. This time I followed what people did here, watched a video or two...
