I am aware of the TSB (http://www.alflash.com.ua/avtovideo/2005l/L-DL001-08.pdf) that changed parts out including the transfer case portion. My 04' gx470 either came with the fixes or they were completed as the dampers are installed on the diff + t case. When I purchased it used the top...
With the kit (E30-59-005-01-22) are people purchasing and using the OEM Toyota Prado 120 Secondary Spring Isolators (the cones) on the rear? I am confused on this point.
In my case I believe I can. I am going to be cleaning the internal harness pins after dropping the pan and will attempt to salvage the female external harness at the same time, depending on what type of corrosion I find inside the female adaptor. Both harnesses with pigtails can be sourced for...
I was able to locate the transmission wiring harness and remove it, I found water had entered here and there was corrosion. Can find multiple sources that this is a "problem" with this connector. Will be replacing the external harness with a kit.
I started up my gx470, vsc off light + check engine light soon came on. Code is P0712. I can find little information on where this sensor is located. No information on parts numbers nor images. I was able to find an fj cruiser A750F transmission diagram. Inspecting my own, it seems the #1 ATF...
Thought I'd update - still no fix. I have done a ton of work on the vehicle along the way. This problem still remains. I just live with it. It only happens around 70 mph and disappears the second I let off the gas. It is present a bit below 70 but builds and is loudest 70-80 then the sound evens...
Old thread bump but will these ball joints work in the KDSS-style LCA? Looking to press in new bushings and K500017 ball joints. The item is listed on multiple sites as "Not for Kinetic Dynamic Suspension".
Doesn't seem to match my issues though I'll be doing the transmission fluid change anyway. There is real power loss going on. I need to floor the gas pedal to maintain speed and it just feels sluggish.
Will do on the trans fluid. Reading up on the shudder seems odd as mine is consistent throughout the gears. The fierceness and sound only increase with speed and doesn't change or let up in certain gears or shift points. Seems to be a second stage symptom of the original pulsing sound for which...
Been busy so I haven't driven or worked on this vehicle. Although I changed the driver's side CV a few days ago. The gx470 is still making that pulsing sound but now there is an additional symptom only when accelerating. A very intense shudder/vibration when accelerating. It feels and sounds...
Nope, cannot find the source. It sounds like it's the front left wheel area for sure. I was incorrect - when I slalom the pulsing sound changes but it's louder when the right wheel is loaded. At 75 mph it sounds like a loud pulsing rubbing sound. The changes in sound would indicate a wheel...
Alright. Is it possible the poly bushings I replaced for diff mounts are allowing additional harmonics from a previous problem to now become audible? Given how this sound began right after changing them sounds possible. I will say on the front left differential mount, there are 3 bolts that go...
