2004 Land Cruiser, 255K miles.
O'Reilly has:
Murray Radiator for $260.99, limited Lifetime Warranty, Plastic and Aluminum
Denso Radiator for $369.99, but not available.
Should I spring for an OEM radiator? If so where to purchase and how much?
Any experience with the Murray Radiator?
Get a OBDB2 reader and its likely the code: P0051 - malfunctioning O2 Sensor Bank2, Sensor 1.
I got this issue and the fix was to replace the O2 Sensor on the passenger side.
With my 2004 LC, I needed to purchase Denso 2344138 O2 Sensor = Napa $85,00
I drove our 2004 Land Cruiser up on Ramps...
2004 Land Cruiser, will not crank.
Battery good, horn blows, no sound from Starter Motor at all.
Tried shifting in and out of Park, then Neutral, still no sound from Starter Motor.
Before we have it towed to a shop to replace the Starter Motor I have a few questions:
- is there a Fuse or Circuit...
Got to thinking about the Sunroof on my LX470.
Is there a special lube for the slides?
Is cleaning and spraying a UV protectant like 303 Aerospace on the rubber gasket good PM?
What do you do if the motor or mechanism fails with the Sunroof opened?
Is there a way to manually close the Sunroof?
My 2002 LX470 towing our 2019 Winnebago Micro Minnie 2106DS, dry weight = 3,900 lbs.
Towed it central N.C. to Myrtle Beach, S.C. Mostly Interstate, mostly flat, got 9.3 and 10mpg but normal non-towing I get high 13's to 15mpg.
Looks like I get approximately 30% reduction in Fuel Economy while...
I am use to driving my 2002 LX470.
Took my son's 2004 Land Cruiser out for a drive and noted that his steering is much quicker.
Not sure is there is something amiss or its normal.
Could it be something to do with the Front End Alignment?
I logged onto Lexus.com and can not figure out how to get Service History.
I do remember we use to be able to get Service History there but I can't find it.
Has it been discontinued? Moved? Or am I just a DA?
Interesting CarFax showing a 2006 LX470 reacquired by manufacturer - Lemon Reported at 6,800 miles:

Now it is for sale at 185K miles...
When I remove the key on my LX470, the Auto Steering Wheel tilt makes a roaring noise.
Are there grease or oiling maintenance for this device?
Or should I just disable this feature using Tech Stream?
The plastic clips attaching the door window glass to the mechanism broke.
What is the part number for it?
I found these on Amazon but they don't specifically mention Land Cruiser:
Canada's show states that the Lexus LX is the most stolen vehicle and a lot of stolen vehicles are put in containers and shipped to West Africa.
The show showed one way thieves steal cars is to use something like TechStream and just program a key.
How about our 100's ... do we have a serious...
What do you make of these two when dealing with Fuel Trims?
From my 2002 LX470 - runs and drives great, no Check Engine light.
With TechStream, note that there is a TOTAL FT#1 but not a #2.
Also, note that O2 sensor Bank 1, Sensor 2 O2FTB1S2 is showing 99.15 % - that don't look right!!
With...
What do you guys think about a Steering Wheel Cover?
I have a 2002 LX470 with a wood Steering Wheel.
Its in like new condition but I think I would prefer a wheel that is thicker and less slick.
Don't want to mess up the wood though.
This sounds like a dumb question ... but what part of the Coil Pack do you grease?
Had a misfire on #5 cylinder and found the rubber boot was split.
The replacement Coil Pack came with a small pack of grease - what do you grease?
Without knowing any better, I just applied a small amount on the...
I know we have MAF, IAT and four O2 sensors ... how about Manifold Air Pressure (MAP) sensors?
Also, the Torque OBD2 app shows we have 6 fuel trims:
LTFT1. LTFT2, STFT1, STFT2, F/T1x1, F/T2x1 ... what are the two later ones?
I note that my fuel trims on my LX470 vary much more rapidly than...
I like to be proactive and have some knowledge before-hand when something happens and still be able to get my 100 home to research a fix.
Some things that come to mind:
1- If the Ignition switch rod breaks, how to get the 100 to start?
2- If the AHC fails?
3- If you loose a cylinder - ex...
Got a P0305 Diagnostic Code making me hope its just a Coil Pack,
but after digging in the Spark Plug was loose and the electrical contact on the Spark Plugs coil pack end was broken inside the coil pack.
Not the firing end of the Spark Plug.
I was not able to screw in a replacement Spark...
This morning I was looking online at the Motive Products Brake Bleeder.
Looks like it could simplify the job.
I need one that will do both Toyotas and Mercedes vehicles.
They have a nice aluminum Brake Reservoir cap for European cars (adapter # 1109) but only a Universal adapter #1101 for...
