Heater T's failed on our rig. Wife drove it till it died. What donor blocks and years are compatible for a 2001 LX470? We are the original owners so I know what we got. I'm assuming i can reuse the current wiring harness. Will any engine block 2uzfe from a 1st gen tundra / sequoia / land...

So, wife kept running the truck while heater tee's were blown. What donor engines (from Tundra, Sequoia, and LX470) and years are available for a 2001 LX470? I have a 2002 Tundra 2uzfe from another project out in the yard that needs to be rebuilt. Will this work if I swap the engine harness...

It finally resolved itself on its own. I changed the fluid, it had not been done in a while, and the problem got better. My wife drives it more than me, but when I drive it now, i do not notice it. Change your fluids and wait a few months.

It was the booster. The mechanic swapped out a booster with another working booster and truck ran. Should get it back next week.

Our 2001 LX 470 has been at the mechanic. We are the original owners so trying to figure this out. While it was having some work performed, it developed a new problem: the truck will stall when the brakes are applied, brake pedal pressed. This happens when in motion and braking or just at a...

It did not shake that much, a little at times go over big bumps. i was able to bolt it through the bumper area with two bolts. I probably could of used thicker steel when fabbing the bracket to get least amount of wobble.

LED bar on 2001.

I have this issue too. I hit the lock diff button, the lock diff light and VSC off light do not illuminate, but the truck is much harder to turn on hard surfaces, so, it seems like the diff is activating? I verified that the VSC Off light does work, it comes on when you star the truck...

ok, is there a writeup on techstream or any info you can send. As for the height, the green indicator light remains on "N" when the lowering in the front happens on the highway.

So, finally had time to flush and replace the fluid. The fluid was nasty, it has been a long time, well over 100K. While in park, the rig responds correctly when I select the "H" and the "L" for the AHC. However, while driving again the other day, in the midst of a 20 mile trip and going 55...

Thanks for the input. Forgot to mention we are the original owners. :) The leveling down does seem odd and this seems like something new and out of the ordinary. Will report back after checking fluid.

The lx470 ahc is moving while driving. I can't tell if it is moving up or higher when driving, but I can definitely tell when the truck is lowered or goes down while driving and then remains in a lowered position. It feels like the front of the vehicle is being lowered, but not 100% sure...

Are there two fasteners/clips that are holding it in? Pull straight out, and NOT up?

pic attached.

Does anyone know how to remove the middle filler piece of the front grill/bumper? Been trying to pry and pull but don't want to break the plastic. Experimenting with front aux lighting. The two plastic fasteners on either end pretty much disintegrated when I touched them. It sounds like it is...
