Hi guys I was able to fix my LX470 2004 gauge cluster. So the issue was that on start up needles were shaking with some noises behind dash and after couple seconds they came alive. Except tach and couple other random ones. But tach needle was always dead. The issue with my particular gauge...

Does the noise change if you put it in gear?

Not this week, but couple weeks ago. Nav delete. Security computer is fully functional now.

Sold?

I have exactly the same issue, which I took as transmission knock initially, turned out to be piston slap. Dealer told me that it's not detrimental to longevity or reliability. It is annoying, no doubt. I've driven the truck for approximately 15k miles since discovery and nothing changed. Smooth...

Feel free to ping me if you'll need any suggestions. Items I used fot my set up were: 3 wire bulb socket LED Turn signal relay Switchback bulbs Lexus tailights (1 x 81561-60700, 1 x 81551-60780) Lexus taillight harness (2 x 81555-60780) Some electric tape and shrinkwrap.

Haha thanks:) I am jelly of your VSC and traction control lol

My JDM 2004 Cruiser.

well, that’s good news for me, cause if this would’ve been serious problem, engine would’ve seized earlier just like your garage said.

Well, sort of. 2001LC is right, that's a piston slap, which happens on some 2UZ engines. I went to a local Toyota Dealership, where we have our local Land Cruiser specialist. His response below. I changed the oil couple times to flush the engine, used BG EPR cleaner on last change and tried...
