OregonLC replied to the thread Switch/Button panel upgrade (getting rid of card holder).FWIW, I used the spare button slots in the lower dash in my build back in 2017. I thought it would be elegant to retain a factory form factor for auxiliary functions, which it does. In retrospect, those switch spots are horrible for usage... -

Like.
A friend of mine and I did a timing belt job on his 2000 Lx with 280k, Florida truck most of its life. His was completely toast and had to order a replacement. Took us a couple rotations to figure out what was going on. -

From my experience, it’s a combination of age, environment, and mileage. In Oregon, should make it to the 4th timing belt job or ~350k miles or 25-30 years. In Arizona, where the heat and aridity kill rubber, I’ve seen them fail and ruin some...

OregonLC posted the thread Harmonic Balancer / Crankshaft Pulley Expected Life? in 100-Series Cruisers.Looking to do the 2nd Timing Belt job on 'The Mule' (our 2004 LX). We're at about 175,000 miles which is a bit early but there's a coolant leak from the water pump. We've had it since 2013 and intend to keep it as a future kid car (still five...

Now the work can begin!

What a piece of kit laying there all neked!

OregonLC replied to the thread For Sale Noblesville Indiana: 2013 LC200 - ICON suspension, Dual Battery, Flat white vinyl wrap.Absolutely stunning build. What a great truck!

OregonLC reacted to OwnerCS's post in the thread Crankshaft Pulley - Rubber Damper - Dry Rot and Separation [not mine just reporting] with Like.
Yep. I use a multi-pin OTC 4754 Stinger tool that works for the crank pulley, timing cams, and AC by changing the pins. Taking the largest pins and buff them down a bit will fit in the crank pulley holes. $59.

OregonLC reacted to hoser's post in the thread DIY: Replacing heater hose pipe T's *important* with Like.
100TD makes a good point. Change the hoses... and if you cut the hoses, you won't have to deal with the position of the OE clamp on the T-fitting nor bits and pieces of plastic breaking off into the hose. You said old school so I'm guessing you...

I made all of my money in tech. Guess what? Free markets are a myth. They don’t work. We have a market driven economy but not a free market in any way, shape, or form. The only true free market is in a totally anarchist country like Somalia...

:oops: I think the bear was trying to tell you it's time to get new tires.

OregonLC replied to the thread SQOD Squad - Stupid Question Of the Day.I never had the OEM remote. Most of the control codes are industry standard. I just bought the remote, pointed it at the screen, and it worked. There are obviously extra buttons on the remove that are useless in the truck. But play, pause...

OregonLC replied to the thread SQOD Squad - Stupid Question Of the Day.Not sure on the 11 but on the 13 LC you can run a generic remote.

OregonLC replied to the thread SQOD Squad - Stupid Question Of the Day.I had originally though that it fractured from an outside source, something caught external to the joint. Now I lean toward thinking that the lack of lubrication caused it to seize and fracture from the inside. Once fractured it relieved the...

OregonLC replied to the thread 2016 8-speed transmission toast at 121K.Are you referring to the driveline clunk post for the 100s? I'm not convinced that's a drive shaft issue per se. The 'fix' results in a pressurization of the slip yoke. This removes slack in the system, masking the lash tolerance. But it's...

OregonLC replied to the thread SQOD Squad - Stupid Question Of the Day.In looking at this closer, I'm leaning away from my post above. What I thought were witness marks from external abrasion now appear to be the fracture plane.

OregonLC replied to the thread SQOD Squad - Stupid Question Of the Day.Just know that stability control is inhibited with CDL locked so drive accordingly.

OregonLC replied to the thread SQOD Squad - Stupid Question Of the Day.I would say that some type of debris, either a lost piece of hardware or a rock got impinged between the yoke ears and the metal became the fuse. If there was enough wear in the joint to cause the yoke ears to contact it would have completely...

OregonLC replied to the thread Upper Control Arm questions - need input!.Sometimes arms are torqued when still on a lift at full droop. This puts the bushing at an impinged state when the truck is back to neutral buoyancy on the ground. It also adds resistance to up travel. Always wait until on the ground and...

Hello from Chappaquiddick Island. We had a good time on the beach today. No one else around, other than the 10 striped bass that I caught in 2 hours.

OregonLC replied to the thread Fan Clutch Replacement Cost.But why do you need to release the tensioner to remove the fan clutch? The pulley is a separate unit and can stay in place. Would be different if you were replacing serp belt as part of the project, which would be a logical PM but not mentioned...

OregonLC replied to the thread Fan Clutch Replacement Cost.Why in the world would you need to remove skids for a fan clutch? 4 nuts for the fan, 4 bolts for the clutch. Serp belt can stay on. The fan bracket is a little more involved. Part 9 below. That has a bearing that can fail as well. Are you...
