    Throttle body coolant line mystery

    1. Nothing connects to the false n-ipple. I use that specific connector to fill coolant to the rear of the block. 2. Get a brass n-ipple...

    LR4 "Smart" Charging Charging Strategy

    Haha! I did the same thing with a folding 100W solar panel with an extra long 25ft (idk) cable to hook into the solar controller too. I also have 2 portable jumper packs just in case too. I guess once we've been burned with electrical power issues, we over prepare. :rock:

    LR4 "Smart" Charging Charging Strategy

    @avslash I have a very similar setup. I went with the Lensun hood solar panel, GoPower dual bank controller (Aux 1st, Starting 2nd), Redarc dc-dc charger (with solar, just in case, but not used), and a Power Bastards ** alternator (based on your other thread). I'm also pretty happy with the...

    Coolant system part help!

    I posted a thread about this and here's a brass version of the n i p p l e. https://www.ebay.com/itm/334707225885?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=tysVpTsRTZe&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=bxUwh4WqQAu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    Long crank, no faults

    Here's a thought, what if you reset the engine values with the gap iid tool? This will force the ecu to relearn new values.

    Preventative maintenance recommendation for a 9 year old LR4 w/52k miles

    Yeah, don't ignore coolant or oil leaks like @D_Walt said. Most oil leaks are from hard brittle valve cover gaskets and at that point, you're halfway through getting to the timing chain guides. Just food for thought.

    2011 LR4 screens black but runs....Any help?

    I wonder if your MOST system is damaged from the water. It sits under (I think) LH seat. You can probably pull it out and see if there's any corrosion or damage.

    Long crank, no faults

    Sorry to hear that @Jimmy Brooks. How the heck did they figure the HPFP skipped timing without pulling off the front timing cover? I agree with @16FujiDisco that you should at least try to diy it. Opening it up is probably the only way to really see if the lower timing chain skipped timing, ...

    LR4 "Smart" Charging Charging Strategy

    I kept the oem bms in place. I never really got it working the way I wanted. I gave up after a 3 days of messing with it. I may need to pick this back up and try again. You'll need to reach out to Patrick (email) at Gap Diagnostics to allow your device to load the "Untested" CCF view.

    Weboost setup

    I ran it through the upper tailgate through the top left grommet and down the LH D pillar to the rear AC area. If you look closely in the picture, there's a wire that routes between the upper tailgate gap.

    Weboost setup

    I have one mounted to the LH rear on a Frontrunner antenna plate mounted on my Frontrunner roof rack. The antenna plate folds down along the rack when not in use. I mounted my weboost next to the rear AC panel and utilizes the factory rear cigarette outlet. The interior antenna mounted...

    Windshield wind noise.

    I'd suggest using something less sticky like masking tape. You might accidentally rip off a weather strip or panel with duct tape, especially gorilla tape. :listen:

    Rough Wipers

    Typically it's the blades, but you've already replaced the blades with new ones. The next thing would be taking off the windshield cowl to inspect the wiper system. You might need to lube the pivot joints with something. I typically like a heavy duty silicone spray (leaves a clear film...

    Dreaded rear hatch actuator issue!

    Sounds like you have a sticky latch. Have you tried lubing it? I like using CRC Heavy Duty Silicone spray on everything. It doesn't attract dust or dirt and leaves a thing silicone film for lubrication. I would lube it, use a philips screw driver to lock the latch, unlock the latch, lube some...

    Chip in windshield

    Just be careful that some repair kits may have conductive properties and if you have a heated windshield, that can cause issues down the road.

    Best rack for LR4 without factory rails

    Here's my opinion on the topic of form and function vs aesthetics, I'll take function all day. When I was in the market for a roof rack a few years ago, I was into the appearance of Prospeed. It had THE sleekest look and aerodynamics, but look at them now (discontinued). They moved on to a more...

    sucking air between engine and transmission

    Have you changed out the valve cover gaskets? If you haven't, that's the most common cause for oil leaks. Just take care of it before it gets on your alternator and creating more issues.

    Timing Chain loose in the wrong place?

    The LR4 isn't too bad. It's just getting to each part requires lots of effort. I would also recommend removing the cam sprockets from the cams to clean out the sludge build up. If you need any help, feel free to reach out, but I feel like you got this one.

    Timing Chain loose in the wrong place?

    Oh nice you're in Oceanside? I'm in El Cajon. If you haven't replaced the timing guides on both banks, you should. The tensioner contact point on the little metal button on the guides tend dent inwards out of shape. You can technically reuse your tensioner, but I'd replace them. With the new...

    Battery Change - Dealer/Indy versus big box store - Reset computer?

    Our trucks are electrically very sensitive. The PWM charging system is very aggressive and it would behoove you to run a battery reset when replacing the battery to allow the charging profile to adapt to the new battery vs applying an older/degraded charging profile on a new battery. Will it...

    Higher output alternator?

    For those that need/want a picture of F60 and the position of the piggyback fuse pigtal, here you go. It's suppose to be DCC for "Direct Current Charger", and the white paint pen made it look weird.

    Default air temp at startup w/auto climate

    For those with similar minor electrical gremlins, one of the easiest things to do is a hard reset. A hard reset will default everything back to factory settings. Here's the hard reset, provided by Russ Goff from another forum I'm on. Open a window, ignition off, shut doors, wait 2 minutes...
