    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    The saw is unneeded on the 8 speed. The filter neck is short enough to clear the mechtronic unit.

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    Yes. I talk about it here and show the tool that I used to remove the bolts. https://www.landroverworld.org/threads/what-did-you-do-with-your-lr4-today.42436/page-9 It's not a bad job and I posted the procedure somewhere. Basically, remove the heat shield. Drain the pan. Remove the bolts...

    LR4 Transmission Fluid Change: Pan Swap Option

    Google the part number LR065238 and you will find more pan options. The 8 speed uses a rubber gasket, not a paper gasket, and the pan will come with it already installed. To answer your final question, I have found that the drain plug always feels like it is slipping (both upon removal and...

    What are the two hard lines on passenger side rocker panel?

    The sensor harness is hit or miss. On some, the factory attached the harness to the top of the frame; on others (like mine) it was mounted to the outboard side of the frame---in a prime spot to be worn through by a wider tire. The solution is just to unclip it and either reclip on top of the...

    What are the two hard lines on passenger side rocker panel?

    My land rover brain is starting to regress a little so I may be opposite on this-- if I remember right, lowering the vehicle (or wheel compressed into the wheel well while traversing terrain) brings the tire closer to the front of the rear wheel well. It is this action that limits tire size.

    Help with plug type

    That's a tough one. Obviously six wires but separated in the back for some reason into four quadrants. There is an attachment for a bracket, so it definitely is designed for this end to be mounted on the truck, and the male end to be free. I want to say fan clutch. Why do you just have these...

    What are the two hard lines on passenger side rocker panel?

    I only put on 265/70-18s. The issue is matching the front tires to the new rear size. There would be a little more trimming involved (unless you put an Off-road front bumper on). 265/70-18 fit perfectly after trimming the frame horns, moulding the fender liners with a heat gun, and moving the...

    What are the two hard lines on passenger side rocker panel?

    You're right. It's a common mod to remove the hard line and replace with soft fuel hosing where it arches over the wheel. I fed the soft line behind the sway bar bushings and along the fuel line to where it terminates just forward of the spare tire. This way I could avoid finding a way to "hang"...

    Lucky 8 SYA Kit Problem

    The tilt should facilitate proper geometry once put back together and the suspension is compressed again. One bit of advice I failed to mention; leave the new air line "tail" disconnected until you have reinstalled the long, lower strut mount. Otherwise, it's a bear to compress and line up. I...

    Help ID'ing a sensor or something

    That my friend is your TPMS sensor. It mounts to the fender liner with two plastic rivets. You should be able to see two holes on the fender liner equidistant from each other that match the two holes on the sensor

    Thanks brother! I'll ship your package out tomorrow. I'm going to miss everyone as well. The ram forums don't seem to have this level of camaraderie and technical discussions.

    Heated windshield not working

    Compared to your test, I offered a neanderthal solution. Didn't even think to recommend an IR thermometer. Nice!

    Windshield and Rain Sensor

    Turn it on and hold an ice cube onto the exterior of the windshield. Once warmed up, it should melt pretty quickly. Would recommend you perform in the garage, first thing in the morning to rule out the sun heating the windshield for you. I would perform the test on both the driver and passenger...

    Replacing the accessory drive belt?

    If it were longer, I would say that you could feed it over the fan and be alright. Based on its length though, you should probably remove the fan clutch.

    Lucky 8 SYA Kit Problem

    Absolutely! You are essentially reprogramming your normal height and giving the BCM a frame of reference for the access and off road heights. Definitely calibrate the suspension height BEFORE alignment. I saw you PM and will message you tonight!

    Lucky 8 SYA Kit Problem

    The spacer install is very straightforward. The limiting straps---not so much. You need to make the calibration with some form of tool. SDD, GAP, iland, etc. I am only familiar with the GAP procedure. Basically, using the app, measure as I outlined above. Using the arrows on the app, adjust...

    Lucky 8 SYA Kit Problem

    Found it for you. OEM setting: What it needs to be calibrated at: Front: 530mm Rear: 549mm Measured from the center of the wheel (think the center of the axle) to the bottom of the wheel arch

    Lucky 8 SYA Kit Problem

    Yep. Not calibrated CORRECTLY. It HAS to be calibrated so that the computer understands the new height (add +64mm). The rods control air volume, but it is a random voltage from the sensor to the body control module. You have to tell the BCM what that voltage means. Tracking lucky 8 website. If...
