    transmission fluid change

    I'm not a mechanic but I have friends that are and you can't get the oil out of the torque converter, so the way to go is an oil exchange. I did mine at Jiffy Lube, and what they do is run the engine and pump oil in as it is pumped out. I'm not sure how it works out with the volumes, but...

    Charcoal Canister Replacement Option

    I was, and it was clear to the cannister and back as well.

    Charcoal Canister Replacement Option

    Yes, the cannister was out when I got the code. More on this after answering a few other questions: Where are the ports? .... If you pull the cannister, it lifts straight up. Turn it over and the bottom is the part to cut off. Once you cut off the bottom, there are a couple of springs...

    For Sale  Seven liters of Toyota AHC suspension oil.

    I have 5 liters in 2 cans still sealed in the bag and about 2 liters in a partial. Pick up only $75. Long Beach, CA
  6. Desert Guy

    SOLD  All of the AHC components to a 01 LX 470 except rear shocks/struts, whatever.

    The system failed me AGAIN, and I went to Old Man Emu suspension. I think it's probably the pump, but can't swear to the condition of anything. I just finished removing everything last week. Free to anyone that can use them to fix something, not to make money on. I live in Long Beach, CA and...

    Charcoal Canister Replacement Option

    Just so happens I do. The one pic is the valve in the large compartment, which is the gas tank vent line. If you zoom it, it is noticeably missing (to me anyway). The other picture is the valve in the small compartment and shows the valve with the check ball. There is only one valve there...

    Charcoal Canister Replacement Option

    I have the 01 Lexus model, and I've had the pressure build up problem several times. I've worked in the gasoline refining world for 30 plus years, and the amount of vapors surging out of my gas tank gave me the whillies. My thought was that a full tank of fuel would slosh around and get into...

    100 Caught fire & gas tank venting concerns

    Thanks folks, you just saved me from buying a new gas cap. I've had this happen twice. Both at high altitude and bumping around a lot. Most recently above Bishop in the Coyote Flats area, which I saw previously mentioned. The pressure build up has been tremendous, and scares me with how...

    Hi From The Netherlands & AHC Issues

    I hope this is the most logical spot to post. I've been having AHC issues and am awaiting a new Techstream setup since I hosed the software that was working before, but that's another thing. After reading here I just finished pulling my front sensors, cleaning and checking them. They were...

    Techstream (Confused)

    Sorry to start a new thread, but I'm confused as heck. I'd like to know a few things. 1) Can you read trouble codes, AHC pressures, and other information with just a cable, such as X-Hourse, and a Windows 7 laptop? 2) How do you activate Techstream? I see lots of places to download the...

    Need help with powder coat shop in SoCal

    Powder Coat Shop I don't know if you have found any close to your place yet, but I have used a shop on 9th street in Wilmington a few times. Santa Fe Avenue dead ends into their shop, just past Anaheim street. Reasonable cost and good quality.

    100 series sliders

    U-Bolt Attachment for Sliders I would like to know: Does anyone has issues with the u-bolt attachment scheme for the sliders that are on the market? They all seem to mount the same, and some of my buddies roll their eyes when I mention the u-bolts. I appreciate y'all's input.

    Had Cracked Exhaust Manifold Welded

    My '01 LX 470 had the famous ticking noise and when I had someone take a look they confirmed an exhaust leak. So I pulled the manifold with much pain on two nuts on the flange to the next pipe and took a look. It was cracked 1/2 way around the flange on the manifold that connects to the head...

    LX470 VSC - Good News And Bad News

    You guys are great here. Lots of ideas to check out, and now I just need to figure how beneficial the Trac feature is on the road, because I can lock in high range and do in the VSC, but I want to lose the VSC on the road too so I can drive more comfortably knowing that my vehicle won’t...

    LX470 VSC - Good News And Bad News

    Thank you for pointing that out, hoser. Being new to forum stuff, and being realistic, I sometimes don't pay attention to the details as one should (not the brightest bulb?), I didn't realize the post was about the quote from phsycle and not an agreement. I apologize to Arbetrade for my...
