    KDSS Piston Clunk

    I'm dealing with the same thing. My shop said I needed to replace the piston. It's annoying, but it doesn't seem to affect drivability, as it has been like this for some time.

    how many folks just drop the transmission pan, and refill with what came out?

    I did the pan drop with the filter change and refilled. I too thought I needed to treat it like an oil change and get nearly all the fluid out. However, my research shows that the new ATF fluid you add will have enough detergents and friction modifiers to rejuvenate the overall quality of all...

    LC200 'UK Spec' Engine Failing in Asia

    I wonder if where you regularly fill up the vehicle has clean and well-maintained diesel storage tanks? You hear about people occasionally in the US getting a bad tank of diesel with too much water content so they have to go change their fuel filter and such. Diesel is more susceptible to this...

    Best LT AT Tires in 2025

    I believe Lexus is running them on the GX550 Overtrail, and I do like that mine are built in Japan.

    Best LT AT Tires in 2025

    Another vote for Toyo Open Country A/T III's. I have done a lot of off-roading and road trips in my GX and previous Tacoma with these tires and have been quite impressed.

    Ironman 4x4 USA UCA Recall Experience

    I went through It, too, it took longer than they had quoted, so I called in, and that seemed to speed it up.

    Gx460 suspension mystery clunk

    It would be the shock on the front sway bar for KDSS.

    Gx460 suspension mystery clunk

    There are no lights or leaks, either. Everything is working fine, just rather annoying. My shop said it looked like I somehow damaged the shock itself internally. I need to find one from a crashed car, as brand new ones are quite expensive.

    Some things that are giving me concerns on my 2023 GX Luxury trim, not fridge cold AC and feedback in brake/acceleration pedals at low speeds

    I haven't found the AC to be overly impressive on my 2018, I had it recharged a year ago, and it was a bit low on freon. Once again, it does an okay job but not like some cars that will freeze you out.

    Gx460 suspension mystery clunk

    My front KDSS shock is super clunky; I think I may have damaged the internal piston/rod off-roading. Changing direction or pretty much any form of movement makes itself known. It doesn't seem to cause any driving issues other than it's quite annoying; I need to change it, though.

    GX460 Stalls Randomly, No Codes

    It's not uncommon for modern cars to have no fuel filter (gasoline). I'm not sure if they ever get clogged since it's a mesh net, not a filter.

    GX460 Stalls Randomly, No Codes

    US Spec GX460's don't have fuel filters, just a mesh piece at the fuel pump.
