Leaking Oil Cooler Coolant hose. I noticed a couple of coolant drops under the truck. looked and looked and couldn't find the source. A week later, viola! The oil cooler coolant hose, I think that it is number 5 on the Toyota parts diagram in the oil cooler section. Truck is a 1999, 236k...
Killerpea?
Does anyone know how to get a hold of Killerpea? I am interested what method he uses to fix the transfercase leak? I have a 2003 4runner that has developed a leak, I don't want to shell out $1000 for the dealer and unfortunately am not close to Dallas. Thanks Phil
I think that it is time to part with my LC. It is a 1999, White Ext. Tan Int. 235,000 almost trouble free miles. I am in the process of replacing the transmission with a reman unit. I replaced the brake assembly at about 190,000. It is in near perfect on cosmetic condition. It has new...
transmisison issue, not good news
well, after 10 months of driving using the 2nd Gear Start, I decided to take the LC in for a tranny diagnosis. The good news, all of the electronics check out, the bad news, metal and rubber in the pan, the forward assembly is shot. My choices are, bolt up...
It must be something in the air. I started our 100 yesterday morning, It was running fine, but there was a clicking coming from the front of the engine. I wasn't sure exactly what it was. Got in the truck and noticed that it was then idling very rough, I pulled out of the driveway and it...
OUr brake assembly was replaced at about 200k. Cost a cool $2200 at the local dealer. That was wtih a $500 discount. in hindsight, I would have taken it to a local repair shop and bought a unit out of a wreck. The only issue is that with the miles that these vehicles are getting to, there...
This is a real head scratcher. I have had a couple of local shops take a look, nobody is really sure what is up. It will not start off in Drive or second unless the start in second button is pushed. It will start in low gear, without the start in second button pushed. Once it is up and...
I have a 1999 LC with 226k miles on it. The truck has worked great with very few repairs. Yesterday when I went to leave in the morning, reverse worked fine, but in drive, the tranny would not engage. When I dropped it into 1st, it worked fine. I put it in drive, nothing, i left it in drive...
Well , after 205k miles, the radiator on our 1999 LC had developed a small leak in the hard plastic top piece right around the radiator filler neck. There is a hairline crack in the plastic. As a temporary fix last night, i put some JB Weld over the crack. no luck, still leaking. I probably...
I just replaced my main muffler, the one just rear of the cats. I did a write up last week. I bought a Walker Quiet Flow 3. Got it at Autozone, the matched the price from Summit Racing, $110. It is pretty close to oem. Check out the thread. Saved about $400 plus or minus. In hindsight, I...
Buy it and enjoy before the guy changes his mind. We have a 99 with 204k miles on the clock. Best vehicle that I have ever owned. The rear of the center console may be missing a couple of screws. As for the gear indicator, that is a cheap piece from the dealer, after a couple of days of...
Well, after 204k miles my 1999 LC muffler finally needed replacement. It blew a hole the size of a gratefruit in the bottom. I checked around the local dealers, all wanted anywhere from $375 to $550 plus another $100 for gaskets and clamps. After a search on this forum and saw a number of...
Our 99 just turned 205k on a trip from San Diego to Salt Lake City. Runs like new. $7500 is a steal. I have seen 4 runners for several thousand more and they are half of the truck the LC is. Our timing belt and water pump ran around $700 at the dealer. We had the Brake Assembly done, $2000...
just a big hose clamp, the kind that has a screw on it. You can get them at any auto parts or hardware store. You will need to unscrew it all of the way and slip it around the heatshield/cat. What I found was that one of the tabs on the heater shield had cracked and allowed the shield to...
Plastic, the old ones almost looked like a bake-a-lite type material. The part that broke off in the hose that goes to the engine was very fragile, it started to break apart when I tried to pry it out of the hose. Be careful that no debris falls down the hose and into the engine.......Best to...
those are the ones. The one on the driver's side was the one that failed on our LC. The engine side wing snapped off right at the T. I suspect that it had been leaking, albeit very slightly for a couple of weeks. I could smell coolant but couldn't track down any leaks. Pretty easy to change...
