    Max Tire Size - Questions.

    After having vibration problems with both Michelins and BFG's, I took my 98 LC to a shop with a Hunter Road Force balancing machine. (See Vibration between 62 and 65 mph thread.) The shop did a great job. It cost $80, but that includes all balancings for the life of the tires. And -- now my...

    Vibration between 62 and 65 mph

    It worked! Time to eat my words. Now that a few days have passed since I had my tires balanced on a Hunter Road Force machine, guess what? Every bit of the vibration is gone. Why it wasn't gone immediately is beyond me. Maybe the truck had to settle in to the new tires, maybe I was feeling...

    Vibration between 62 and 65 mph

    Found one, paid 'em eighty bucks, and the vibration still isn't fixed. But it IS much, much better, which shows that the problem is wheel-tire related. I'm guessing that I've got a wheel or two that are out of round. For now, I'm thru spending money to run this down. I'll live with it until...

    Vibration between 62 and 65 mph

    Didn't even know I could. (My experience as a mechanic is pretty much limited to the hours I spent juicing up an old 65 Chevy in high school.) No mechanic or shop I've ever spoken with has suggested balancing the drive shaft. What is the procedure?

    Vibration between 62 and 65 mph

    My tire installer told me that the ABS system would cause problems if they tried an on-the-vehicle balancing. Are they wrong? Is there a particular machine that works well with 100s?

    Vibration between 62 and 65 mph

    My 98 LC (4.7 V8) vibrates or shimmies -- just slightly -- between 62 and 65 mph. It has done this for at least three years, and it has continued to do it through numerous rebalanings, alignments, and two different sets and brands of tires. (I just changed to BFG AT KO 285/75-16, by the way.)...

    Can't find synthetic SAE 90 gear oil

    I have a 98 LC (4.7 V8) with about 77 k miles on it. Based on a lot of advice found on IH8MUD, I decided to change out my transfer case oil and all differential oil to synthetics. I can find 75W90 all day for the transfer case. But no one (locally, at least) has a synthetic GL-5 SAE 90 gear...

    will a BFG A/T 275/75/16 fit as a spare?

    I bought five BFG A/T KO 285/75-16 tires just this afternoon. They put the spare in the stock position with no trouble at all.

    Rhino Lining on fender wells?

    Thanks for the advice. I'll leave well enough alone.

    Rhino Lining on fender wells?

    I have a 98 LC with about 77k miles on it. And I'm planning to make it to 200k before I even look at a new truck. So I'm doing everything I can think of to stave off the ravages of time. I was wondering, has anyone out there used Rhino Lining or Line-X on their fender wells? It seems like a...

    looking for wiring diagram and stereo installation guide

    Stereo wiring harness If you're going to install an after market stereo, you should know that you'll probably need a Lexus 470 wiring harness. My installer couldn't find one specifically for the LC. Mine is a '98. Yours, of course, could be different.
