    Hard shift into drive or reverse when cold

    I had this same exact issue honestly, I have a 2011 with the 6 speed however. At 75k miles i changed the pan to the metal pan/filter combo and refilled with ZF fluid. The shifting characteristics were the same. I messed up the gasket and it was sweating fluid for a while. It would take days for...

    Rear lower hatch sound deadening?

    Hey all, has anyone sealed up their rear lower hatch with any type of sound deadening material? I'm getting too much exhaust sound from my muffler delete. I'm just trying to decrease the sound a bit for the rear seat passengers haha. I've thought about Dynamat, those square foam sheets on...

    Quick Compressor Replacement Question

    So wait guys, the front valve block is by the front passenger wheel well, and the rear valve block is by the compressor in the rear? They’re are only two valve blocks correct?

    Rear hatch issue

    Maybe an issue with the keyfob? Sending signals to the truck? Could be you have a undetected slow cabin water intrusion messing with wires? That happens from clogged sunroof drains and warped windshield cowls. Or: its a battery. You never know with these trucks lol.

    compressor service

    Pull the negative cable on the battery, or the air suspension relay under the hood overnight. You might want to take care of that slight air loss you’re having. It may be nothing now, but a slow leak doesn’t get smaller. As for the compressor I’d leave it until it throws a code. Usually its a...

    compressor service

    How many miles on the rig? In my opinion the Hitachi compressor is pretty darn reliable, dare i say even more than the AMK. It definitely lasts about 10 years or more. What brings any of the two pumps down is leaky air struts, defective valve blocks, and leaking air tank reservoir. Those things...

    Did I break something?

    They see the brand and get all excited thinking they're going to sucker the owners of these trucks and make a quick buck. It's the same as doing an alignment on any car. Yeah its bigger and heavier, but it takes the same damn tools as a Honda civic lol. I'd ask for a printout of the values...

    SAD ENDING TO OUR LR4

    That color alone is a reasonable point as to why your truck might me worth more than lets say a white or black one in my opinion. It's a less produced color and gives it extra value due to its rarity. Maybe I'm wrong, but its a good point to bring up with your adjuster.

    Higher output alternator?

    uhm so from cold start my truck jumps to 14.6 volts. After about a few minutes of driving it goes down to 13.7. It stays there until I use my front windshield heaters of defoggers. Once those kick on I see voltage at 12.2. The voltage goes up back to 13.7 once I'm driving at 1/2 throttle at 2.5k...

    Higher output alternator?

    Thanks for the input dude. I did think about adding a capacitor, but figured an upgraded alt would've worked best. Since you put it that way along with the lack of high output alts for these trucks, ill deff be going to capacitor route. Maybe a second battery as well in case i ever do **** off...

    Higher output alternator?

    Has anyone come across a better alternator than the stock Denso 150amp OEM one? I've seen 250amp ones at 1.5k rpm for the LR3, but nothing solid for the LR4. There is one company that makes a 240 and 320amp alternator for the LR4. I'm really skeptical of them and think that their alternators...

    Need some help/advice on my washer fluid pump...I think

    So the cheaper generic scan tools only read PCM codes like engine fault codes (check engine light). You'd definitely need the IID tool or any other LR specific or high end scanner tools. I personally have the RSW solutions tool, but IID is the best for these vehicles since my RSW tool didn't...

    Really Stupid Question - Time required to reach operating temperature (V6)?

    2011 5.0 V8: can idle for 15 mins from a cold start and still not move from cold.....Once you drive it lightly it warms up in about 5 mins to operating temp. These trucks need to be started, wait 20 seconds for it to idle down, then flip immediately into drive and driven slowly not exceeding 3k...

    Tablet Infotainment replacement

    oh yeah theres that too. My thing is, how does one set the time and date for their truck? I know some people don't care for the LR 4x4 info screen and have done the conversion already, but what about date and time settings? Do the new screens have the functionality to set the date and time for...

    Need some help/advice on my washer fluid pump...I think

    BCM on my truck **** the pump off when i added water in during the summer. I rarely used my windshield washers so i forgot about the water in there. Fast forward to winter I believe the mixture of water and windshield fluid got slushy in there. It didn't freeze solid to expand and damage the...

    Tablet Infotainment replacement

    i have a 2011 as well with the denso system, it is my understanding that you're able to view the stock LR menu, but it's not able to actually work via the touchscreen? Am i wrong?

    Date code on LR batteries?

    The 2011 stock LR “Varta” batteries lasted 2.5 years on the dot! Anything put on these trucks are rebranded “Vartas”. They suck!

    2011 LR4 5.0 vacuum pump torque specs anyone?

    Tight enough by hand buddy. Done plenty vacuum pump jobs. Twice on two separate LR4’s. Don’t overthink it. Make it “snug”, then give it a big sharp fast “tight” then back off immediately! Suspension parts and engine internals need to be torqued to spec imho.

    Engine gone

    P0018 code as well. Temp was 14 degrees and CEL showed up as soon as vehicle was started. The code lasted my 20 mins drive. I did get a brief performance restricted message which extinguished after a minute and just left me with the CEL. The truck went through all 6 gears just fine and I was...

    Interior Panel Part # please!

    Hey everyone. I scuffed this panel on the passenger side many years ago. I tried covering it up with a paint marker few weeks ago. Now it looks like crap. Does anyone know what the part number is? I’ve looked at countless parts diagrams on those dealer part sites. Maybe i’m missing it. Please help!

    Did I break something?

    yeah do not tighten down the control arm bolts with the wheel free hanging. It needs to be jacked up whilst you torque the control arm up.
