    New alternator, must I calibrate in Gap for BMS? Also rock sliders install talk

    The sellers wifes lr4 came with rack, ladder, compo's and sliders. She is at stock height so the sliders were an annoyance to them as they would hit their shins getting in and out. Hence the sale.

    Those are lucky 8's proud rhinos. Easy install. Regular sockets, impact gun for final tightening, metal trim tool, screwdriver, flashlight and jack used. Oh, and an m8 1.25 tap to chase the threads. Those are the ones that that cover tank and compressor. They have others like in the video that...

    New alternator, must I calibrate in Gap for BMS? Also rock sliders install talk

    Thanks for being the light in the dark Rover. I reset BMS, which ended spikes. But didn't charge at all, ran on battery. Fuseable link looked good. I stopped to pick up rock sliders, and the seller and I installed as them he wanted the plastic trim. After telling him my tale of woe, he took BMS...

    Thanks. I'll investigate. Is it a big fuseable link, or a glass or blade fuse? So I know what I'm looking for

    Had alternator die 3.5 hours into a 5 hour trip. Found one at local napa(Chineseium). Bought and installed in napa parking lot, plus new battery. Watching voltage it's not steady, and sometimes spikes over 15.1 and BMS cuts it off and I get a split second flicker on all lights. Headlights also...

    LR4 brake issues

    Only about 7500mi on rear Zimmerman. Fronts are some lower quality PO put on (really flaky iron) that I'm waiting until they wobble or wear out. I'll keep everyone posted.

    Serpentine/Accessory belt failure on a very wet, dark MI road in the middle of nowhere...

    If you just need the pulley, you can get a littens one from advance auto for $20 rather than the near $200 for the whole tensioner. I had a post a month or two ago about it, with part number.

    Bumper Mount Spare Tire Carrier

    Gotcha, ive looked at some universal swing outs before. The Terra Firma are too pricy for me as well ( not all d4 guys got money to burn ). Guessing the bumper cutouts could be a little more discreet, assuming you didnt pull the cover off to mount? Appreciate the ingenuity as im mounting...

    Bumper Mount Spare Tire Carrier

    Nice work. Would it be difficult to modify the hinge so the large bolt portion curved forward? Relocating it to the fat corner part of the bumper? Like the terrafirma ones. Also is the hinge greasable, or could a greasenipple be added? Then most of that bracket could be under the bumper cover...

    Cooling System Replacement - Dealership.

    Same experience as above. Same motivation as well. Added walnut blasting intake valves ( had stuff already) and radiator as it showed a tiny pinhole ( pea size white calcification on outer edge).

    2016 LR4 Original Owner. 75k. Thinking about selling, but not sure of alternative rides that can do everything this does.

    My brothers rivian spent three weeks at dealer for a flat tire. Thats after a tow from outside Philadelphia ( their home) to Baltimore. Which is the closest service center for him. Rivian paid the tow there....he had to cover return trip. Not impressed.

    2016 LR4 Original Owner. 75k. Thinking about selling, but not sure of alternative rides that can do everything this does.

    Cooling system, sc coupler, all fluids and filters and suspension refresh are on the horizon. If you are paying to have service done, it might be better to buy new. Unless you are comfortable paying what would surpass trade in on maintenance above. Personally id pay $5-7k and be good to go for...

    Pulley part # for 5.0 tensioner

    If it sounds like a bad alternator or power steering pump. Especially on the ac/ power steering pump side...It might just be the pulley bearing on the tensioner. $20 vs $150 ... Littens part#900056A. Was in stock, 30 mins at advanced auto. Made in USA to boot...

    2010 5.0 V8 wildly different MAF values?

    Correct, It is one tb but the ecu will be seeing wrong total volume of incoming air. Either 25% more or less than actual depending on which maf is accurate...no? Maybe the 02 sensors added, it can figure it out...but still cant be 100%?

    2010 5.0 V8 wildly different MAF values?

    Working on the sorta new to me lr4. While monitoring engine temps, doing cooling work, I added MAF values. Noticed one bank read ~500g, and another ~1000g. Different brands of MAF's too. Not sure which is bank 1, or 2. One is Denso, one is Delphi. Should be causing vastly different fueling with...

    Skf front bearing for $32!

    Regularly check rock auto for closeouts...today they had one front SKF wheel bearing for 31.79! Since these land rovers seem to eat them frequently, seemed like a prudent purchase!
