Control Arms or Warped Rotors?
I replaced my bushings without taking the control arm off (even left the wheel on...) Jacked up the truck, removed only the camber bolts (note position for refit so that your alignment isn’t wack) and control arm where it connects to frame. Drilled out the bushing rubber and then used a saws all...- scott schmerge

OEM hitch receiver, or aftermarket?
because the trailer is on a lock and roll hitch, not a ball mount. Special setup for over landing. If the trailer or truck roll, the other doesn’t go with it.- scott schmerge

OEM hitch receiver, or aftermarket?
I’ll sell you mine...I’m about to move to the rhino hitch. I’ve never had an issue with my lr hitch while off-roading, and have done Uwharrie several times with it on. My reason for converting is I need a hitch that is about 2” higher for a overland trailer I pull.- scott schmerge

2010 LR4 V8 Electrical Problems (Big Surprise)
Most likely a bad ground or loose connection is the first place to start. Then check the battery, then alternator. if you get misfire, it could be unrelated but not 100%. These trucks do some really wonky things when they get voltages they don’t like. your coolant leak is likely one of three...- scott schmerge

Does your date move to european format in its own?
Could be a loose connection at the terminals or grounds. These things don’t like unexpected fluctuations. I agree that it’s voltage related. Battery checks out, charging checks out, I’d go to grounds or battery connections. I have had bad battery or bad connections cause date/time to do funny...- scott schmerge

RPM Needle Flickering
I had the same thing this fall. Assumed it was an led failing...I left it alone and it “fixed” itself (now it is lit up and no longer flickers). Gotta say, it’s probably the first and last time the old girl will self heal, but here’s to hoping yours does the same.- scott schmerge

Bovee 1000 Bluetooth Adapter
I have had issues with mine in the past. Bovee support was very helpful. I cannot remember the issue or the fix (it’s been a while). The fix was very quick. It may have been as simple as a unpairing/ re-pairing - but really can’t remember. I do remember thinking the fix couldn’t be that easy...- scott schmerge

New noise. Timing chain?
i believe that’s the fan clutch. I’ve got the same noise. If it’s the timing chain we are both in trouble. My clutch noise stops after about a minute.- scott schmerge

Looking for a 19" off road tire.
100%. Lesson learned. Priority tire sold them and will never buy a tire from them again. They honored the 90 day warranty they had on them by sending another old and defective tire. Discount tire was amazing by helping me return the defective tires to atturo. Atturo was absolutely amazing to...- scott schmerge
