I just used what I had handy on my garage shelf, it was red lithium grease. I’m no grease expert so I’m not sure if that was a good choice or not. But it’s been working so far.

I did this a month ago, I didn’t need a scanner to clear any codes. While you’re in there, take a look at the steering angle sensor ring. I was getting a scraping noise when turning the steering wheel that I thought was coming from the clock spring, but it was actually the angle sensor ring...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to figure out a squeak sound from my front right wheel area. Here are my observations so far: It's probably from a rotating part, as it changes with vehicle speed Braking / accelerating / coasting doesn't seem to affect it Usually more noticeable on warm days, like 75+...

I got Morimoto 2Stroke 3.0 low beam bulbs in November and have been pretty happy with them. The lighting for night driving is much better. I drive a good amount on 2-lane highways at night and nobody has flashed me to dim my lights yet. This video has some other recommended LEDs: No, the...

Very nice! I might have missed it, which transmission did you end up using?

A lot seems to depend on the inspector and their interpretation of the rules. My inspector mentioned that I didn't have DRLs, but said that it didn't matter since the vehicle was over 15 years old which exempted it from that requirement. The only thing that failed on mine was that the front...

That's too bad, the pricing on that one looked pretty good. Do you find it too loud in the city, highway, or both? I want to find something that won't get too annoying on a long highway cruise.

Does the piping on the HP Diesel intercooler interfere with the viscous heater at all (if you have one)? I started looking at intercooler kits recently and it seems like a lot of them will be running pipes near to where the viscous heater is located.

Cool! Very clean and never seen a minidisc player in a vehicle before! I believe that you'd still have one heater tee, if you follow the upper outlet pipe from the power heater back to near where it goes into the firewall. +1 on blocking off the EGR and cleaning the carbon out of the...

Cool! I also have a diesel 100 series and have been thinking of a few of those same modifications, like the 3" exhaust, Unichip, and intercooler.

That's a good point about the spacers and the main reason why I'm not sure about them yet. I used them on my previous car for a few years to fit winter tires and they worked well, my opinion is that a good quality spacer should have a minimal (but not zero) impact on reliability.

Hi everyone, I’ve been reading and learning about Land Cruisers for a few while and decided to get my own back in the spring. I've always liked Land Cruisers and I needed to sell my car and get something more capable of towing. I ended up buying a 2001 HDJ 100 5-speed manual from Canary Island...

Disconnect them immediately before you damage something. I bought similar lights and had similar problems. The connector was wired differently than the OEM connector. I was able to rewire it correctly to get everything working properly, but I think the original bad wiring damaged my tail...

You might be out of luck if you have the new Apple M1 CPU. Unless there have been recent updates, it sounds like you need an x86 CPU to run an x86 virtual machine.
