    Timing chain…

    the noise doesn’t sound too terrible but the chain slack does seem more excessive than normal. hope I’m wrong but if it quacks like a duck..

    Be honest! What's the deepest snow you've driven in with your LR4

    great points here. i’ll just add that studded nokian hakkapaeliitta tires make your already capable rig into unstoppable beats in the snow. no all-season or all-terrain even come close.

    Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8

    this looks like a bmw n63/s63 engine by the looks of it. you haven’t known pain until you owned one of the early ones.

    Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8

    @RoverTide their website says that the elbow doesn’t fit NA 5.0L motor and fits only the supercharged variants. it worked fine on yours without further modifications?

    Made an appointment for timing chain fix

    It is absolutely reasonable but you should get the confirmation beforehand. As far as deposit for parts, a lot of dealers charge restocking fees, and if you’re a new customer, it’s totally understandable that they’d ask you to prepay for parts.

    maintenance history since new 2013

    apparently according to Escalade forum members, you shouldn’t have done any of those things and just changed oil and brake pads and would’ve been fine. clearly struck a nerve there. :-)

    Coolant Crossover Pipe Repair 5.0 V8

    the two killers of these engines are coolant component failures and timing chains (to a lesser degree). not aware of other big instances where engines just blow up. i would absolutely take care of cooling system maintenance proactively.

    Highest mileage LR4?

    No relation, just saw one listed for sale: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/371568331872078/ and gotta say this is the highest mileage one I’ve ever encountered. Looks pretty good, too!

    Lug Nuts Will Not Budge

    like others said, get a good 1/2” cordless impact gun and a torque wrench so you never have to deal with over-tightened lug nuts ever again.

    Indy mechanic Boston area - fuel pump issue

    Cityside Garage in Holliston or JE Robinson in Western Mass cant guarantee they’ll be cheaper but at least they won’t screw him over

    Todays Battle

    hard to say from the picture but i normally don’t take chances with coolant, brake or fuel lines. if it’s suspicious, replace it.

    Crossover pipe work

    the fact that your mechanic didn’t know that the supercharger needed to come out to do the crossover pipes is telling you that you need to find a new mechanic..

    LR4 - Is there an equivalent in ride/driving experience?

    not a ladder frame but you can try L322 of the similar vintage. i didn’t notice a huge disconnect between my L322 and the LR4s i have test driven during my (ongoing) search for one. nothing else (sequoia, lx570, Escalade) comes even close, so don’t waste your time. as others said, there’s a...

    Long crank, no faults

    Check this video: its the best one I’ve seen on the topic of DIY. It looks like with front timing chains covers off and the main chains removed, there’s plenty of room to remove the vacuum pump/hpfp chain tensioner and the little chain that drives it.

    Long crank, no faults

    apologies if this is obvious, but there’s no way to do a hpfp timing guide/chain without removing the body off of the frame? I could swear some of the timing chain videos showed an oil pump/hpfp chain and guides being replaced at the same time during the main guide work..

    Air Suspension head scratcher

    I don’t know how many miles are on the Arnotts but the people on L322 forum have been dealing with prematurely failing Arnott products for a while now and the verdict is to stay clear. I’ve had a pair fail on my BMW wagon in under a year where’s the factory lasted closed to 20 years. I would...

    Market for a 2010 LR4 Lux plus HD low miles!

    agreed. i would personally take a gamble at 10k as long as the bodywork was done properly.

    Market for a 2010 LR4 Lux plus HD low miles!

    i think the main stigma here is the salvage title, most buyers shy away from it. clean title, I would say the 15-17k range would be a market price for it. case in point: https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/6983ab26-eac2-449d-bd3e-312179d15292
