Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8
When I did mine, I bought mine from Atlantic British.. Turned out to be a cheap knockoff, the quality (inside and out) was terrible. I could force it into place, but it didn't seem to seat correctly. Into the garbage it went, and I was off to the dealership. The OEM popped right into place... -
Aluminum crossovers exist now! (maybe)
Here's the rear for the TDV6: Dude's promising the 5.0L by the end of the year.. -
Fuel tank capacity- Sucks
Rover Range brings a good point that scares me: if I'm in the hills on a low tank, at what point do I risk running the pump dry and stalling? Almost happened to me on the Smoor Overlanding Rally, so I installed an Idiot buffer buffer! -
LR4 5.0 (2012) engine bay rattle when cold
PSU, Sounded pretty good to me.. I heard a couple of knocks that could have been your phone hitting something, but the valvetrain/injectors/fan clutch sounded ok.. Is it rhythmic with the engine? MP -
Wheels and Tires?
Are you running the SYA kit with these or is the suspension stock? I usually run about 1.5 inches above stock- OBDII adjustment for my taste/levelling the trailer. The folks who have done the geometry say that height has very little to to with the rub.. With this little lift and the new... -
Wheels and Tires?
Indeed, I put on the 255/65/19 last tire change. After 2k on them, about 60/40 on/off road I've formed a pretty good opinion of them: I absolutely love 'em. I was previously running stock sized Duratracs, they were much better than stock tires but with almost no sidewall. I wanted... -

Water Pump Replacement - Preemptive?
Indeed, and just as important are the crossover pipes (especially the front). These 2 items are the most common assassins of our motors, and there are a lot of good threads out there on how to replace. Preemptive replacement? Yes, yes, and yes. IMO, your mileage is in the target zone. Go... -
Dealer does not recommend changing transmission filter...ever?
I've replaced the pan/filter once and drained/refilled mine twice now, and am glad I did it. My fluid wasn't terrible either time, but I'd hate to think what it would look like now if I never changed it.. I cut my filter open, and it was kind of dirty, and that was at 70k! The magnets needed... -
2015 V6 coolant pipes done. Pics of old pipes
102k on the clock when I did mine.. Both ports on mine crumbled on removal, but weren't leaking when I started the repair. In the end I'm glad I did it, and will do it in another 60k- I'm not letting an easily replaceable plastic pipe smoke this motor..! The rear was in fine shape, I'll do... -
Particulate on Valves - HELP!!
Gotcha, thanks for the input.. Every once in awhile, I hear someone saying that this stuff clogged their Cats, or some other downstream issue.. I'd like to get back into regular cleanings every 15-20k or so, and would like to do it myself.. -
Particulate on Valves - HELP!!
Has anyone else here used this CRC product? I'm very interested, but wanted to get some input prior to using it- I've seen the back of my valves and wonder if there are any drawbacks/dangers to this.. -
Particulate on Valves - HELP!!
Are you taking the intake off? I know you can just tilt it to work on the front bits, but you might want to take it all the way off to verify all is clean. Then you can get a vacuum in there to suck everything up. We're only talking a few minutes to get it off, and then you can have the...
