    2017 Lexus LX570 ATF Replacement

    Not enough suction I bet to get much out. The transmission is really a big pump, let it do the work for you. I can do a full flush on one of these in 20-30 minutes now that I’ve done it a couple times.

    Brakes upgrade question, flame away

    Slightly off topic but I’m thinking you all might be the right folks to ask. Wife has a 2016 570, factory pads and they squeal all the time in parking lots and at low speeds, plenty of life left. I’m looking at going Akebono pads and OEM rotors. Don’t need anything crazy as she does not off...

    Leaky Radiator, need to find one ...

    Just bought a Denso unit from Rock Auto back in the summer for 150 bucks plus shipping which was 20 bucks and had in 2 days. Works great.

    Deep Humming Sound

    I did not, I’m very lucky as I only live an hour or so from OTRAMM, one day I’ll get it up there and have him look. It’s not horrible or even bad, so I haven’t messed with it. Has not gotten worse.

    Replacing AC system?

    So after driving my 04 Tundra for more than 20 minutes I get the AC blinking light. From what I can tell the famous MAG Clutch Relay easy fix is not applicable to my year of truck as from what I can tell as it is built into my compressor, please correct me if I am wrong because when I look in...

    Post your high-mileage 100-series!!!

    I have not had a car payment since my late 20s. Everyone tried to tell me how great the write off is on buying new equipment on my business. For me to spend a dollar to get 30 cents or so back on my taxes…ummm that math doesn’t work. I’ll keep the 70 and give the 30 to Uncle Sam. I think a...

    Any leads on new carpet

    So after you got me thinking….I’m wondering if the access cab carpet would be enough just to get me to where the rear seat starts? That would be enough coverage to get rid of all the disgusting carpet in the truck…does that make sense? In essence where people’s feat rest in the back would have...

    Any leads on new carpet

    Interesting, hmmm…I will definitely look into this, thank you for shining a new light on this!

    Any leads on new carpet

    Unfortunately all of the online vendors only do the access cab. Under 500 bucks for this ole farm truck is what I’m willing to spend. I’m sure Toyota wants over a grand…?

    Any leads on new carpet

    For what it’s worth, I have not successfully found anyone who makes these.

    Blinking AC Light

    Mine was right on top of the ac compressor.

    Blinking AC Light

    Update, it only helped me for about 2 weeks and then went back to not working. Will be replacing the compressor this Spring.

    Transmission fluid drain-and-refill question

    When I do a flush in my own, I typically use 3 -5 more quarts than capacity to make sure it’s 100% flushed.

    Lesson Learned, OEM parts

    This is much more than normal business practices. Charging more than list price in many areas of business is illegal and punishable by federal law. This forum is one of the largest Toyota forums in the world and the members should be aware of these matters of over charging. We do not care...

    Lesson Learned, OEM parts

    Oh if I had the time to order from their site and get it delivered sometime next week it was marked down to $47, true list is 66.

    Lesson Learned, OEM parts

    Up until a couple years ago McGeorge would always give a nice discount to local folks buying parts from the service counter. Example, a couple years ago I needed a starter and I believe list price was 400, and they sold it to me for 300. Well, yesterday I had to buy a simple drive belt. On...

    Lesson Learned, OEM parts

    I do think it is ridiculous how dealerspships parts departments are now charging over list price. Ourisman, recently McGeorge, just charged me 80 bucks for a belt that they have on their own parts website at 66 and marked down to 47 if you buy it online and have it shipped.

    Lesson Learned, OEM parts

    I’m done with any aftermarket parts. Even something as simple as a drive belt, it needs to be OEM. The Dayco that a mechanic used as my daughter is in college and I couldn’t do it myself as she’s several hours away, lasted less than 2 years. Put a new OEM one on today and the noise went away...
