    Wheel bearing question

    In the course of upgrading the LCAs and UCAs on my 2006 (145K miles) I noticed there was play at 12 and 6 o’clock when I put the wheels back on. I recently did a 600 mile trip and noticed some wheel play around 60-65mph. I figure it’s the bearing, but there is no noise. I had my neighbour do...

    Quickjack with GX

    I recently got the Quickjacks and they work great for my other vehicle. But for the GX I can’t get good alignment because of the gas tank cover and/or cross member. I know Quickjack sells an SUV/Truck kit, but for almost $300. Anyone jerry rig something that works? I’ve got the 7000TL

    Intake manifold stud broke

    Like a moron I accidentally over torqued the top left hand bolt on the throttle body and snapped the end of the stud. From the diagram, it looks like this stud is attached to the manifold and I should be able to replace it. Can someone confirm?

    SAIS filter upgrade

    I’ve got about 140-150k on my GX, no issues so far with the SAIS but in reading a lot of forums I understand that this is a point of failure. When the weather warms up I’m thinking of opening up the intake manifold and inspecting the condition of the existing filter (perhaps it’s already gone...

    Running board wiring harness and lights

    Hi all, unlike many here I’m looking to keep my 06GX stock. A little while back one of my running board lights died and was replacing everything with LEDs, but noticed that the connector was corroded and not useable. It’s been difficult to find the part I need for this fix. Given so many here...

    Alternator voltage regulator question

    I recently replaced a battery on an 06 with 140K; it was having trouble starting in the cold. For about two months everything has been ok. Today I went to start it up and it wouldn’t crank. I got the battery charger out and after a few minutes of charging , got enough juice to start up. Drove...

    Running board lights

    My driver side rear light was out. I decided to replace with 194 LEDs all around. The passenger side went well, the drivers not so good. On the rear the original bulb was corroded and stuck in place. Green corrosion, almost like gum actually or something you’d see at the battery terminal. I’m...

    Ac compressor noise and draw

    When I idle the vehicle it’s at about 500rpm. When I switch on the Auto Climate Control the AC kicks on; when this happens the AC cycles on and off and the rpms kick up to about 700rpm. Is that normal? Also when I stand outside and the compressor cycles it seems loud to me. No belt squeal...

    Exhaust manifold

    I bought a 2006 GX back at the beginning of September; Took it to get safetied and they did not pass it on account of what they perceived as a ticking sound they heard when the engine was cold. Don’t ask me how they heard this sound given the car was dropped off at safety with a warm engine...

    Looking for advice on buying a GX

    I’m new to GXs but I’ve been looking for a little while into a reliable, good quality vehicle that will serve my family. I live near Ottawa in Canada so we get tones of snow, ice, freezing rain etc. Where I live it is mandatory to drive with winter tires from December to March. I’m looking to...
