Thanks so much. I'm running 35 on all 4 right now but will play around with it a bit. I'm going to do a fairly long trip soon so I want to make sure I get things dialed in properly.

I have a 2003 LX with BFG KO2 LT285/75R16 126/123R load range E tires and I’m trying to make sure I’m using the correct tire pressure. I’ve been reading lots of posts on this subject but still not 100% sure. I’m coming up 35psi based the Toyo Tires Table I see referenced a lot. This is lowest...

Thanks. I have had similarly priced one for years. It's time to get better acquainted with it now.

Thanks. Sorry if this is too broad of a question but how were testing how much it was pulling? I’m not great with electrical and haven’t ventured off the voltage testing yet.

Thanks all. That's good info on the battery. Maybe it was some other type defect but I really don't know. Costco didn't test it or even ask me a single question. I replaced all the door actuators when I first got it except the rear hatch. I don't have a fob so I only manual open the doors...

Hello. I have an 03 LX 230k that I’ve had for a couple months. I replaced the battery when I bought it with an Interstate 27F from Costco. I didn’t have any issues with the original battery but it was old and bulging a bit so I wanted to play it safe. I was out of town and didn’t drive it for...

They are listing the globes for different prices on Impex for Toyota and Lexus. It's $104 vs $125 at the moment but showing the same part numbers. I have an '03 LX but I assume the Toyota is the same since it's the same part number. I haven't encountered this discrepancy on Impex for other...

For sure. That seems like the only way to go on globes. I already bought a smaller part from Impex to test it out. I just want to check the system and get it dialed before pulling the trigger on those.

Thanks. That’s great to hear. I saw the other post you tagged me on. Appreciate the help. Replacing the globes is likely in my future so I might go ahead and grab a can while they are readily available. A local dealership has them for a little under $40 right now.

Thanks. It’s not a squeal but like a quick jet of water in a hot tub for a quick second right at the end when it goes into high. I’m fine with getting more fluid but it seems like it should be fine since I’m in the acceptable range.

That’s great to hear. I thought you needed tech stream to read pressure etc. I’ve been a little intimidated to set up from the 1000+ posts on the main thread about issues with it. Can you use OBD Fusion to adjust anything is it purely reading data?

There's a wake (like a squirt from a water jet) in the reservoir when going into high at the very end before the pump stops. AHC fluid is one graduation above min line in Normal. I assume this could cause air to enter in but wanted to check if it's normal before buying another can of fluid. I...

The door lock issue is a cheap fix and fairly simple if you've taken interiors apart before. It does take a bit a time but will only cost $20-30. I did all 4 of mine a couple weeks ago. Took me a few hours because I was reforming the speakers too and there's dry time for that and the motor...

I gave up finding the DC motor and ordered the entire motor assembly from Impex. It ended up being about $80 shipped and took about 2 weeks. Here's the part number for the right side 03 LX. 87908-60841.

Thanks. That makes perfect sense. It hadn’t been serviced at a dealership in a long time so likely the PO was getting it aligned at a smaller shops. The VGRS is exactly why I took it to the dealership for this. There are so many threads on the off center wheel and I haven’t quite gotten to...
