2001LC "I've no doubt. A non replaceable seal in master. Is screeching at you." Thanks for quote and tracking this issue. This is the main issue from my understanding from my very experienced shop. Have a pile of these broken brake units. These are factory installed internal rubber seals with...

Be glad the vehicle was parked and the lights came on. This is a much discussed topic on IH8MUD. Our new to us, about a year, 2001 LX470 did same thing. after 3 hours of hard mountain driving the afternoon before. Yes there are all sorts of ideas to repair, none are worth the fear or...

Some simple input from similar experience. Oil light came on Down grade into the desert southwest from mountains. Checked oil and okay. Light went off on flat areas. Light back on getting to Sacramento from SW desert visiting. Dealer diagnose, oil sender unit. Purchased and installed with...

Have Followed thread and thank all. Have driven the Defender on our 97 80 for 16 years and about two worn out sets . Currently on third set. Have defender on all other 4x4 T100 and tried Latitude for a while on HIGLANER AWD. Switched to defender which was much better in the snow...

Would have to agree with JunkCRZ89r FLush out that old Strawberry Milkshake. Easy job. Front end on stands Disconnect the inlet hose to PSR and into drain bucket. Maybe easy to attach larger hose for extension. Fill PSR to top new fluid. Gently turn wheel L/R without engine running. Found...

This part seems to get the best of everyone welcome. My second person was my wife. When frustrated myself I ask her to come out and check. It also takes my mind off the problem. Quote " Have you tried turning it a little this way, wheel well direction?" LO and BEHOLD Brake booster slipped...

The owners manul will tell you all the grease types, oil types, tranny oil etc Having 3 yotas at one time, I took a picture of the page on my phone when buying product.

Defending the defender by Michelin. Have run the this Michelin tire for twenty years on 80 LC a T100 4x4 and Highlander. Even before this in other vehicles. This is the old LTX M/S tire. this is a wonderful tire for many reasons. True 4x4 not at all Capable you bet. Quiet yes, handle well...

Great work. Are you going to replace all 3 solenoids. I too have heard that about Isuzu but have not been able to track part down for A343F. Thanks for pointing out the gasket challenge. Main thing from me not putting up on stands for a day or so. Looks nice and clean now!

Why thanks for the pictures? What's your plan with Solenoids? I have one solenoid and it is Solenoid A for us. Replace with one new Solenoid. Test, clean, and reinstall other 2 solenoids. Kind of my plan instead of buying 2 more for around 450$ Have seen various sites, show how to test a...

Open the hood after you park Unclip or pull coil wire. Close the hood. Repeat process in reverse to start.

One of the most discussed topics. Reason for joining IH8MUD myself. Some great points and understanding of Toyota land cruisers. The Benefit of having a community like IH8MUD is that this topic was discussed, documented, supported etc years ago. This has helped many new and old 80 owners...

Update our 97 A343F gave us the Code 750 Solenoid A This has been going off and on for a while. Lesson learned. Tranny needed to be flushed and does make a difference. Did it solve solenoid problem. Does not appear that it has. Purchasing the OEM solenoids, slowly, for replacement.

You maybe surprised how those Patrol units work together. Having to pick up a son in Woodland Park after totaling Toyota Highlander, N Highway 67, nothing but a wonderful experience from the community. The CHP is incredible with the Interstates and Highways. Fingers crossed. devo, you are...

Called gentleman who is at Valero Station now and a lot Sent him your two pictures of the cruiser. He will look. Fingers Crossed
