Well, I have a dealers license so I bought one off of iaai.com Peddle (cash for clunkers) was selling it through iaai so that should’ve been my first red flag. Iaai said it ran and drove. Apparently there was an oil leak that I didn’t see so it ran out of oil on my first test drive, seizing...

Good point, I didn’t even think about the gear ratios. It’s terrible that finding a transmission is so difficult for the 200 series while tundra transmissions are everywhere

anyone??

The interchange is different on junkyard computers but it should work, right ? I have a sequoia engine in my Land Cruiser so the transmission plug in no problem ?

I've been looking for the location of the TCM but I can't figure it out. Is it apart of the main ECU??? I have a 2008 LC.

Hmm interesting... I might try disconnecting the output sensor and see what happens. So, my mechanic was not happy with the answer the service bulletin gave him - to replace the trans and tcm. His scanner was not able to show line pressure but it did show when the tcm calls for an...

I’m taking it into the shop Tuesday. I’ll update when I hear back more. My mechanic thinks it’s not building enough line pressure. If it’s a transmission pump issue, the trans has to come out. Hopefully that’s not the case. He said if it was the output speed sensor, I wouldn’t have any gears.

I unfortunately don't have any service history other than carfax records. i bought my LC from an auction. I've been driving it for about a year now and this issue has been getting progressively worse. I do have a 3 inch OME lift kit on it. I'm sure my transmission doesn't like that too much lol...

Okay so I have a 2008 LC with 230k on it. Sometimes it drives amazing and goes through all the gears, while other times it won’t upshift past 3rd. How can I solve this issue? I attached the codes below. Thanks for any advice !

I looked all over the web for this and I can’t find any info. I guess the only way to open the rear trunk is the rear button but it won’t work. I can open it manually if I climb through the backseats. Is there a fuse for this or is there any way I can troubleshoot this problem? Thanks I have a...

From what I read, the blocks are made differently. Land Cruisers got some sort of special treatment. I have 228k. It had an oil leak that was a small drip. I was driving it to my mechanic to diagnose it. It lost all the oil on the highway. Owned it for 1 day :( When it's replaced ill see how...

My 08 LC decide to lose all of it's oil on the highway so I am hunting down for a replacement. All the junkyards say 08-10 lc/lx will work. Their computer system says that 10+ are not interchangeable. What is the reasoning for this? Can I make a 10+ work? What is different about them? If you...

Right that’s what I thought too. But this one vin decoded as a VX and it says VX on the back of it. I know that we only got the 1 trim (base) in the states. So unless this LC is an oddball I’m not sure what it is. Toyota’s website can’t vin decode it.

I bought a 2008 LC and I did a car fax on it and it turns out it came from PR(I'm from USA)!! It's a VX trim level so it got me wondering; what other spec lc did PR get? Did they receive LC's for south america market or what? Thanks!

The SAS could always be done later down the line but that's good to know the v6 parts wouldn't really work with my 22re. I had plans to lift this truck slightly so my tires would fit and make a custom off road bumper. Would it be silly if I did those things while it's still a 2wd truck? I never...
