    FREE - LR4 Running Boards

    I just finished putting rock sliders on yesterday. The running boards that came off are in pretty good shape. They've been through a couple New England winters, so aren't perfect. If you want them you have to come get them. Simply too big and awkward to deal with shipping. Metal frame...

    djkaosone to the Courtesy Phone - Oil Catch Cans

    It is a sad known problem with direct injection engines. I'd love to see a manufacturer employ a port fuel injector that supplies roughly 25% of the fuel demand to keep everything nice and clean.

    Should I Rebuild?

    @q5sys based on that list of dealerships I've had a good experience with checkered flag JLR in VA Beach for parts. I don't live in the area so I can't comment on the service side of things.

    Battery life

    Isn't there some function in the GAP tool for when you put in a new battery too?

    Should I Rebuild?

    I've found prices for parts to vary quite a bit from dealer to dealer. Might be worth contacting a few that are within a days drive from your location.

    If the VCG ain't leaking just give it a little pat and say "this puppy ain't going anywhere".

    Can you get the straw from a computer air duster can into the lock? Spray some air in there.

    Motor mounts still good? Control arms and bushings in good shape? Couple rattle cans of rust reformer?

    Has anyone reflashed their 3.0SC V6 aka Tune?

    You can also get a larger supercharger from VAP.

    Should I Rebuild?

    If the block deck has warped it is going to be a royal pain to get a good head gasket seal. Add the cylinder wall lining to the equation and I would recommend a reman motor.

    Faults: B1B57 and B1B58

    So was nose down or nose up better?

    Electric Oil Pump Control Solenoid on a 2016 3.0l?

    If you're doing the chains on the v6 you should probably replace the supercharger coupler and the oil for it while you are at it. Front and rear coolant cross over pipes too.

    Rear Tire Carrier - Any Regrets in Daily Life?

    Some of the corrosion I'm talking about. The strut is pretty strong and I've never fought gravity.
