On the recommendation of a few people here on the forums, I recently had my gauge cluster repaired by Tanin Auto Electronix. When I received it back, it looked like everything worked but then I turned my truck on and noticed a few funny things. I own a 1996 LX450 and I think what is going on...

My cluster was repaired incorrectly by Tanin Auto Electronix

Or do people prefer the 15b-fte so they can chip tune it?

Actually, I think I'd opt for a 15b-ft to get mechanical injection.

Interesting. Where's the best source for 15b-fte motors? ;)

BTW, this is an ‘81 North American BJ42 w/power steering, front disc brakes, H55F out of a 60. I still have the original 4 speed.

Is there a comprehensive guide on tuning a 3B for maximum performance? I’ve been reading these forums for years and read about turbos and intercoolers and such. It seems like most people just swap up to 15bt’s instead of trying to tune a 3B. I understand that but for someone like me that has a...

I went to your cruiserbrothers.com webpage and couldn't find any reference to these top plates in your store. What are the prices for the various top plates? I have a stock 60-series H55F, is it cheaper to have you modify it or to buy a used 40 top plate? Also do you sell transmission rebuild...

So I followed the recommendations in this thread and replaced all of my bulbs with LEDs. The main gauge illumination bulbs started blinking about 6 months after the swap. I'm assuming it's because of the noisy electrical environment combined with poorly made LEDs. There's another thread about...

This sounds similar to my situation. It's just the large main gauge illumination LEDs and it's mostly on the left side of the cluster and it does smooth out with the dimmer being turned down. Which LED's did you buy to replace them? Maybe I'll go ahead of you and debug it first.

Hiya, Last year I replaced all of the gauge bulbs with LEDs per the "ultimate LED" thread elsewhere on the board. At first everything was fine but over the winter the gauge lights began blinking somewhat randomly like there's voltage noise great enough to affect LED brightness. Adjusting the...

I know there was a remote start option for the ‘96 ES300. I wonder if that would work with the LX electronics.

It’s starting to get cold in Utah and once again I wish I had a remote starter for my 1996 LX. Do any of you know of a remote starter kit that works with the 80’s? Does anybody know if Lexus offered a remote start option for the LX? It would be sweet to get an OEM kit for it. Just asking...

I just spotted this nice RHD turbo diesel at Nacho Daddy on Sahara. Anybody know who owns it?

Local dealer said that it was *only* used on the 80 LC. Nearest one is in Oregon. $21. Partsouq has it for $8.23 plus probably $15 shipping.
