i have 272K miles on mine, only engine intervention was inlet manifold (in addition to usual plugs n coils). i'm going to do the chain and guides soon, all parts sourced and waiting for quieter travel schedule.
When mine failed there was no visible damage to the plastic cube but there was some strangeness to the solder on one or two of the pins on the back of the board.
My symptoms were identical to yours; it either ran perfectly or just cut out. It was happening with increasing frequency though, which...
Thanks! Very useful indeed. Mine had the same split below the nipple. Funnily enough I fixed mine around that very time. I looked at all the related posts in the 2nd gen forum but didn’t think to look at 1st gen!
Thanks for taking the time to write this and congrats for getting the job done. My fuel odor has returned 2.5 years after my epoxy repair of the split vent seam so it looks like it’s coming down again. Your write up brought all those pain points back!
Can you tell me what specific plastic rods...
This is excellent information, many thanks. And, of course, Merry Christmas. That’s a good deal for sure. I’m tempted to preemptively do the engine swap to avoid the expensive temptation to buy a Land Cruiser on BAT should it suddenly peg out. Thanks again.
Very interesting, thanks. I’ll chcek it out. I was just in there the other day to clean my cruise button contacts. A great success by the way, but getting those Torx screws lined up so they go into their homes was tough. If you don’t get it right the angled screw head prevents a button being...
I now have the same clonky noise in the steering wheel hub. In another of my cars I’ve replaced a sleeve that gets worn at the top of the column.
I’ve been trying to find something similar for my 2003 expedition but not had any luck. Can’t seem to match the year model. There’s availability for...
This. Depreciation on new vehicles totally eclipse repair costs. When my 5.4 gives up, currently 261,000 miles, I’ll be doing the engine swap.
Recently, I hit a deer at around 60mph. I got new headlamps from the internet, and visited the pick n’ pull in San Antonio for a front passenger door and...
More detail: i tried to use the Tolley's first off but was way too runny and just poured through the gaps. It advises repeated sparing treatment but it continued to pour through so i switched to the silicone. It is far, far more 'searching' than the standard flowable silicone sealer. i think...
i've just fixed my leaking rear side window. Large gaps develop between the window frame and the body work. i put in flowable silicone sealer meant for windshield repair. this gave a 99% improvement. I followed up with Captain Tolley's leak sealer (yeah, its a thing). 100% fixed!
