My 2001 w/ 220k has RPM fluctuations while idling in drive or reverse. Along with the fluctuating Rpm, I can feel the front end shake/shudder momentarily. It seems to go away if I turn off the air conditioning. RPM fluctuations don’t really look bad when looking at the tachometer but i can...

Oil filter isn’t leaking. Definitely coming from behind the timing cover.

Valve covers were dry as of 2024. Oil leak was ongoing for probably 2 years before that. And no I haven’t. I’ve heard mixed reviews.

Need some advice…. My 2001 with 215k miles has had an oil leak for the last several years. Bad enough to leave a few drops on the pavement every couple of days but not bad enough to have to top off when I check the oil periodically. I’ve had the front crank seal replaced but it did not fix the...

I’m not sure. I’ve looked and think you are pretty much only going to get Toyota reman

I’m sure extreme temperatures definitely affect the lifespan! I had a lot of issues with my battery during the winter when we lived in northern Oklahoma.

My 2001 is at 213k miles on the original alternator. Debating buying a denso replacement to have on hand. Looking to see how many miles some of you guys have on your original alternator!

Okay, this may be a dumb question, But I have been searching all over the internet, ChatGPT, and this forum. I’m getting conflicting information regarding the correct part number for my 2001 Land Cruiser brake booster assembly. I’m debating whether or not to go ahead and purchase the part online...

Negative. It was done before I purchased the vehicle unfortunately.

Mine is incredibly noisy at highway speeds. Gotten used to it at this point but I’d love for it to be done right.

Yeah sounds like you need a good excuse to get it pulled. I did have a leak last year and they were able to re seal part of it without pulling the windshield. Wish I had been aware of the rust problem with these things then!

I did call and once I got forwarded to safe light (my insurance uses this company I guess), the guy told me they are really picky about this stuff. Mainly because it’s an old vehicle and can be considered “normal wear and tear”. From what I understand, I’d need to have broken glass and/or a leak...

Went down the rabbit hole last night of rust under the windshield issues. Sure enough, I can spot some rust in between the trim pieces and the a-piller. I read that it’s a good idea to go ahead and pull the windshield as preventative maintenance just in case there is surface rust in there. My...

Glad to know you found the fix. Mine started a few weeks ago and thanks to this thread, I knew exactly what the issue was. New fuse box is on the way.

I’ve had my 01 LC for about a year now. (196k) a few weeks ago, I started having the crank/not start issue. Looked on here and saw the immobilizer issues. Found out pretty quickly that it is definitely the immobilizer. Took it to my shop and the easiest/most reliable fix is to replace the fuse...
