    06 LR3 fuel gauge issue

    My fuel gauge goes wonky every now and again. Never determined the real cause of the issue, as it always goes away before i get too annoyed. I have typically gotten it to go away by unhooking the battery for a bit. Also fill it up with a new tank of gas. The dealer suggested not letting the fuel...

    Question for Zeon users.

    I have mine in colorado and have popped 2 of them. Both were somewhat unlucky situations (one with a sharp rock under water). Either way, the tire has been good besides the weak sidewall. I will probably look for something a bit more sturdy at some point.

    Traxide/Battery Light Question

    As you may have seen, I ended up replacing my alternator. The read out on the secret little dash screen has been pretty consistent at 13.5 V with the engine running. I have not hooked the traxide unit back up yet though. Wanted to make sure the new alternator actually solved the problem first.

Wish I had held onto it because I didn't sell for that much. They are great trucks Anyway, i was in the same position as you. I cruised ebay motors for...

    LR3 Alternator Replacement

    I was wondering about that. Pretty crafty way to get in there. This was a bit more of a learning experience so I was fine with spending the extra time to take everything apart. Did you have to take the fan off to get to the tension belt? Because I was thinking by the end of it that, that wasn't...

    It has finally happened!

    haha yea not a bad idea if it doesn't cause the cabin to smell. As far as chasing down the short, do you know the process they followed. I just replaced my alternator and am chasing down a short/open circuit code I get on the faultmate related to the side mirror or approach lamp or something...

    It has finally happened!

    haha little bastards, glad you got it figured out. I've heard that the material coating the wires is made with something rodents/bunnies find tasty. Who knows if thats true or not. Do you park outside or in a garage?

    Hey zulu, can you elaborate on the bad ground? was it a particular ground point gone loose or something?

    Best cb antenna mount

    I've been wanting to install a CB in the 3 for a while now. I just can't decide on a really solid point to mount the antenna. I have the stock bumpers, so I don't have much hope for drilling a hole into something there. I think the most important thing is having a solid ground point for the...

I have a traxide setup installed. Tonight after the drive home, no battery light (after it had turned on, on the...
