Thank you for the offer. I called the dealer and ordered the part. Luckily I'm working from home these days, and I have driving-aged kids, so I can make it work until I get them.
Thank you. That is the number they gave me at the dealer, but they had 0% confidence that it would work (and they claimed 2-3 business days to get it in stock). I'll call around to other dealers today.
I have recently developed the dreaded intermittent click on start and then on the 3rd or 4rd try, it starts up fine. I chalked it up to 230k and the starter contacts going bad. I ordered a new starter (while I'm in there...) and got going on the project. Using the great instructions from this...
Castle Rock area, but can meet up in Denver metro
Was spare when I bought my LC. The rest of my wheels were LX470 wheels, so I bought a 5th to be able to do a 5 tire rotation.
This tire is older, but has never touched the ground. It is brand new, perfect spare.
Would prefer to keep tire and...
Maybe another version of Make 2 would be to integrate a Nite Ize magnetic ball. Would be similar to the Magnetic Mic. I already have the investment in the Nite iZe (3 mics). Same idea, lower price point.
This is my current set up. that plastic insert flexes like crazy. it is holding, but it...
got cha, that makes sense. I have noticed this since I bought the truck a year and a half ago and it hasn't gotten any worse, so I'm not concerned about safety or something falling apart. If this turns out to be the final answer, at least I will sleep better knowing what it is.
I didn't even think about that. It was late.. Great point. My earlier post and video probably had the same droop which would explain why it sounds the same. The kicker is, I still get a very similar sound in every day driving, when I turn to full lock, but it is more of a popping than just a...
2 months, you would have thought I would have gotten to this sooner...
Sent after the TRE's tonight. So dar, they don't look that bad. I did find something on the clunk though.
See this video. Does it look like the steering stop is not lined up correctly between the lower control arm and...
finally got a chance to jack it up by the control arm today. no movement felt at the tire. I already have the inner and outer TREs, going to replace those along with the bearings and go from there. All of that is preventative maintenance anyway. I'm not convinced it will fix the clunk, but going...
Rack bushings are new (poly) as of maybe 2k miles ago. I did confirm no movement at all of the rack when it is making those noises. Wheels are in the air, if the wheels were on the ground I'm sure I would see the normally allowed slight movement of the rack.
I have been chasing down looseness and clunking and popping in my steering since I bought my '99 15 months ago. So far I have replaced:
Lower ball joints (555)
Upper ball joints (SPC)
Axle shafts (OEM)
Axle Flanges (OEM)
Front Axle Bushings (poly)
Steering Rack Bushing (poly)
I now have inner...
I am getting ready to do new tires, and I want to do a 5 tire rotation. Currently, I have 4 LX470 wheels and one LC wheel. LC wheel is the spare. I didn't even realize it was different until about 6 months after I bought the truck.
I'm not a wheel junky, but I want them to match.
