Clunk/knock, starting to get concerned.
Not sure about body panels. Motor mounts maybe? Ever notice a thud or jolt when putting into gear? Maybe have someone put it from park into gear while you watch the motor for any movement. -

Charging System Error
A full battery should give you about 12.6-12.8v (make sure you leave the car hood up, key off, for a good 10 minutes, or you’ll have some systems still drawing voltage - its amazing how long stuff stays running in this car). With the engine running, you should see 14+ volts (I think mine sits... -
Clunk/knock, starting to get concerned.
On the rear of each frame rail - at the very end right behind the bumper, there are some loose swinging weights - you can see them if you just look under the rear bumper. Quite heavy. For resonance dampening or some such thing. Wondering if you are hearing those hit the bumper/frame when you... -
SCV6 overheated and then catastrophe
Replacing the heads is a gamble. You’d need to get someone to verify the block is not damaged and is still flat, then spend a lot of money rebuilding the heads (I assume they are warped), then continue to worry if the headbolts are going to hold (I’ve heard they have a tendency to strip). If... -
SCV6 overheated and then catastrophe
I don’t know about the rest of you, but that description of the fluids doesn’t really sound like the typical coolant leak situation. I suppose the reservoir could have failed, or a poorly bled coolant system could have caused the overheating and just boiled coolant out the reservoir. Still... -
SCV6 overheated and then catastrophe
Wow - does not sound good. Really sorry to hear about this. I agree with Joe77 - I can’t imagine the mechanics can’t locate the source of that kind of major leak. Only so many places the coolant can be coming from. The explanation you were given does not make a lot of sense to me... -
2013 LR4 I'm new need advice on wheels
It should work fine as a spare, but I wouldn’t drive it on a regular basis. In other words, I probably wouldn’t put it into the normal tire rotation, which is one advantage of having a full size spare. If you have a set of 19’s, why not use those instead of the 20’s. More sidewall rubber is... -
2013 LR4 I'm new need advice on wheels
Just to be clear, the rubbing problem is generally against the frame horns when turning. Its the corner of the tire that hits. The extra width will affect this, as will diameter and wheel offset and tread style. Plus, it seems like there is a little variation in how far those frame horns... -
Metal Clunking + Ticking Noises 2015 LR4 3.0SCV6
That does not sound normal to me. If you want to check the supercharger, just slip the belt off and rotate that pulley by hand. It should spin smoothly and with zero play. If you can turn it and feel free rotation before you feel it engage the rotor blades, then that could be the source of... -
1-Yr Check-in and Trouble Code Rant
I would replace it. I’m planning on doing mine as soon as the new flanges are available under the recall. -
1-Yr Check-in and Trouble Code Rant
@djkaosone Vacuum leak won’t cause a rich condition, it will cause a lean condition. A vacuum leak allows unmetered air into the system, so the fuel ratio goes lean. To battle the lean condition (too much air, not enough fuel), the fuel trims will go positive (adding fuel) to try to get... -
1-Yr Check-in and Trouble Code Rant
The only good way to read fuel trims is to run both short and long term simultaneously for both banks along with RPMs. So, five fields: short term bank 1, long term bank 1, short term bank 2, long term bank 2. Then, hold it steady as you can for 20 seconds or so at a few different RPM levels... -
1-Yr Check-in and Trouble Code Rant
Make sure its warmed up before checking fuel trims. -
Check Engine Light: Camshaft Position Sensor - Circuit Open
These are codes for your VVT solenoids (camshaft actuator, not position sensor). I agree - with all codes showing at once, appears to be electrical. On my 2016 electrical diagram, all have a common electrical control that feeds through fuse 13E (15AMP) and relay 6E. I would suspect the fuse... -
1-Yr Check-in and Trouble Code Rant
By the way, those are some fantastic pictures. -
1-Yr Check-in and Trouble Code Rant
There was a TSB on the p0089 code that was being fixed with a software update. I had it done, but I’ve always been a bit suspicious of that fix - thinking it might have just introduced a little tolerance for a slowly failing low pressure pump. At any rate, that TSB is out there somewhere... -
3.0 SCV6 - Multiple misfires around 1000rpm
I think your original post said no CEL, so is this new? You said no codes before, so I assume these codes in the screenshot are new. If you are not sure, clear all the codes and see what comes back. From the codes on that screenshot, looks like you still have an oxygen sensor issue. If... -
3.0 SCV6 - Multiple misfires around 1000rpm
I haven’t really done much with the OBD misfire counter, but my understanding is that the misfire counter detects misfires based on the position of the crank just after ignition and determines whether a misfire has occurred based on that position (I imagine the crank moves slower in a misfire... -
3.0 SCV6 - Multiple misfires around 1000rpm
So, to be clear, you have OBD codes for misfires, or are you judging by the misfire counter on an OBD tool? If you have codes, what are the codes? -

OVERHEATING
@rovermom72 It would be helpful to have a little more background on the situation. What, specifically, are the overheating issues? The gauge showing too high, coolant boiling, restricted performance or other drivability issues? Any misfires? Did the car overheat badly in the first instance... -
2010 5.0 P0087 Fuel Rail/System pressure - too low
I have the V6, so maybe different values are available, but my GAP tool has a field for desired rail fuel pressure in pressure units rather than volts. In any event, you can adjust the scale for the graphed units individually, so you can get whatever resolution you want. When you are looking... -
2010 5.0 P0087 Fuel Rail/System pressure - too low
I find it very odd that you would not have misfires with rail pressure dropping off as shown in your graph. The other thing that is odd is - how can you have such a high load without the fuel pressure to sustain it. The engine should stumble when fuel pressure cuts out that badly. You might... -
2010 5.0 P0087 Fuel Rail/System pressure - too low
Maybe the fuel rail pressure sensor? I believe that’s a much cheaper/simpler fix to try than the HP pumps. Could also be a fuel injector sticking open, or the low pressure fuel pump failing. Are you getting misfire codes (I assume yes), and are they random, both banks, or on particular cylinders?
