    Payload discrepancies

    Bringing back an old thread, but did anyone get confirmed resolution/explanation of this?

    Mudflaps to catch rocks

    They're not pretty or cheap, but the best is Rock Tamers. The great thing about them though is you don't have to look at them except when towing, as it attaches to your hitch. https://rock-tamers.com/

    New noise. Timing chain?

    Fan clutch seems likely. Also make sure you don't have the "More cowbell" switch flipped on. (sad SNL reference)

    Compomotive PD 1881 finish delamination

    Well, my Comps are just over 2 years old and I’ll tell with with 100% certainty this has nothing to do with chemicals. For one, I’ve never applied so much as a wheel cleaner to them. Just automotive soap from the same bucket after washing the rest. They’ve also never seen a spinning brush car...

    How to stop battery from draining

    I have the largest AGM battery squeezed in and properly reprogrammed, but the dumb truck still gives a low battery warning after a couple days of opening doors while camping. It never has an issue elsewhere. Maybe a kill switch or solar is in my future.

    2011 LR4 Fuel gauge reading Zero

    It can't be trusted anyway. I was two miles from a gas station, screen said range was 9 miles, and I ran out of gas.

    How to stop battery from draining

    I know I’m resurrecting a really old thread, but has anyone found any other tricks to avoid the low battery problem when camping? My battery is an upgraded, larger AGM, and is barely over a year old. My 2010 LR4 gives me the low battery warning on day two or three while camping. I have an...

    Need advice from someone with offroad LR4 experience

    Weight is weight, especially when it's rotational weight. I will admit, the D3/4 being as heavy as it it, it may not be as big of a factor as on lighter vehicles. I came from performance street driving where you do literally feel that extra pound on the axle (two or three pounds is more...

    Need advice from someone with offroad LR4 experience

    Valid points, and some have had good luck with them. Others have had catastrophic failures. I'm sure there's an element of how much of a quality spacer you buy, and especially how much attention to detail/maintenance you give to the suspension/drivetrain. It's certainly not the worst...

    Need advice from someone with offroad LR4 experience

    Wheel spacers add a lot of weight (thus more stress on components. More offset generally isn't more weight to a particular wheel. The offset does add a little more stress just due to the geometric differences, but it's nowhere near the effect of a spacer. On the locker, you're right to a...

    Need advice from someone with offroad LR4 experience

    Do not buy wheel spacers. Big, offroad E-rated tires are a crapload heavier already and put a ton more stress on all your bushings, ball joints, and axles. Wheel spacers add a ton more stress to all those parts. Do some research on performance driving, both off and on-road. No one looking for...

    Maintenance concerns???

    Good point about it being so new that it’s speculation.

    Maintenance concerns???

    Also not trying to be snarky but #42 didn't remotely answer the question. There isn't a single search result except for this thread when searching these forums for Rotella GTS (or Rotella Gas or whatever). Just a bunch of mostly old references to Rotella, long before GTS existed. Your latest...

    Maintenance concerns???

    No, the question was specifically about Rotella Gas Truck Synthetic, and there is nothing in these forums about it. The oil is quite new.

    Maintenance concerns???

    You ever get answer or find a good source about this? I’m wondering the same. Is yours the 5.0 or SCV6?

    Heavy coolant leak / failure

    Thanks. Good to know.

    Heavy coolant leak / failure

    Did you end up getting it done? If you had someone do the front pipe, I’m curious how much that would cost. I just don’t have the time or motivation anymore to tackle it myself.
