    2005 GX470 (2UZ-FE VVT-i) Mid-RPM Power Surge (1.9k–2.9k RPM) — No Codes

    Hello! I am having the same problem almost to the T and AI tried to take me the same way. I want to tow my S2000 with this thing but this weird stumble is giving me pause as it happens right where I imagine the engine RPM will be most of the time. Here is a summary of what I have going on in...

    2006 GX470 Sport - from Chicago

    This thing has mostly been hibernating recently, living life on a battery tender, just comes out for fun stuff and trips. As I had always wanted, the S2000 and the GX get to stay in the garage safe and sound. So glad the ES hybrid joined the family to be a work horse alongside my wife's Honda...

    Tire question

    I think you'd be fine. I put on my tires and drove about 100 miles like that before trimming. At over 50% lock for the steering wheel you'll likely rub a bit into the side steps behind the front wheel. But I wouldn't sweat it.

    Tire question

    265/65/17 is the stock tire size. You should have no issues. A lot of folk step up to 265/70/17. May require just a touch of plastic trimming. I did in that case. Not something you would ever notice and took me 10 minutes. Those tires will work just fine for a mostly street driven truck.

    Intermittent KDSS light C1851 & C1852

    Late to the show. Every figured this one out? My intermittent KDSS was light was due to corrosion in the connector. Seems like yours is fine, but my codes were different too. Seems like you may have low pressure in the system but it's odd there are no visible leaks.

    ARB skid plate w/ kdss

    Good to know! My rig doesn't see heavy use, just finally mangled up some of the stock armor last fall. This may shift my eye to RCI

    ARB skid plate w/ kdss

    All Dogs Offroad lists 5421110 as compatible with 120/GX470 with KDSS....

    ARB skid plate w/ kdss

    Following. I was going to go with ARB as well for my 06 with KDSS. Haven't pulled the trigger, but I do not think 5421110 will fit. The front skid plate requires more room for the KDSS bar to move. ARB's own website says 5421110 will not work with KDSS. *EDIT* Forgive me, I got my 1s mixed up...

    Another Rear Suspension Thread

    The Luftmeister shocks if still available on Amazon are a cheap way to keep OEM adjustability and they worked fine for me over 10,000 miles before I switched to the Dobs lift. Ended up selling them to another member for very cheap.

    Another Rear Suspension Thread

    My Dobinsons rear springs and Nitro shock set up feel basically like stock. I've never looked back since.

    Is this too much rust?

    Not great but not the worst. I bet mine is in about that condition underneath all of my efforts with a wire wheel and WoolWax. Question is, what's the price? You'll need to factor in dealing with the rust for the rest of the life of the truck. Is the rest of it in good shape? Has it been...

    Air conditioner driver side not working right

    I can also add my own story with this same issue, not only on my 2006 470 but also on my 2003 GM product

    2008 KDSS Valves screws location

    On my 2006, these face upwards. I never touched them. I loosened the 2 14mm bolts the left arrow is pointing to in that diagram. Unless I'm hallucinating, it immediately made a difference in freeing up KDSS bar movement when I installed my lift.

    Used GX470 OEM headlights

    You're likely better off buying some new lamps if you can swing it, for the long run. Whether OEM or an aftermarket. Plus you can upgrade to the darker sports which will look a lot nicer.
