If you take that as an attack on your character, then how do you get through life in this world on a daily basis? Its a fair question...what you posted was a "silly chain letter", thats a fact. Why don't you post some ideas of your own backed up by research or knowledge that you've discovered for yourself? You mean the banking system that almost collapsed the world economy and was bailed out by Obama's predecessor, a conservative Republican? AIG? You do realize AIG was bailed out in 2008...and Obama took office in 2009 right? Again, please specific examples showing that Obama is a SOCIALIST. What specific things has he said, written, and done throughout his life that would lead you to believe he's a socialist? What has he done that paralells things that Mussolini did? Specific examples please. Again, you feel it is a silly chain letter....I suppose anything that is not progressive is silly... And I have gotten through life quite well, Been through every state except Michigan, Lived in 11 states, and three foreign countries. Traveled through out the world, and yes THe United States is still the best place. My experience has been incredible, however I want my grandchildren to have those same opportunities. As for the Banking system, if it had been allowed to fail, we probably would have been better off. Then the strongest would have survived, and those that chose poor business practices would have failed. Unfortunately our government seems to think they can fix it all, that is why we are looking at a 14 trillion dollar debt. Our government treated the social security as a slush fund and rather than keep it independent as it was originally set up. Anytime they find cash, they spend it like crazy. As for Obama, the bailout and government takeover of General Motors, AIG, etc is an example of OBAMA's policies. As Americans are struggling (Except in the Washington DC area) he takes lavish trips and vacations, has had more vacation than any president I can remember, and has a staff that outnumbers any of the past. Yet He has put nothing on paper, continues to make statements that scare the elderly, and gives no real solutions to anything. His Medical Bill is a disaster and again forcing government on folks that dont want it. Yet the Unions have a special privilages in that they dont have to have the Obama care. His whole administration is made up of elitest, a former terrorist, and some communist. IT has been Chicago stlye politics for the last two and 1/2 years.

I would not do that....There is a procedure for removing one of the tranny lines going to the cooler and running car, and add fluid as it is draining...You would add until the fluid changes to a bright color. But running it while draining through the drain plug is not a good idea. You will starve the pump and possibly cause damage. here is a video

I believe this statement is pretty much an attack on my character: Lenore, do you have anything constructive to offer instead of just passing around silly chain letters. that was the first post to my letter. That to me says I am silly and have nothing better to do. I brought this up in a serious light to show my fellow forum members that I was concerned about the prevalent use of public office to hide any counter views... As for Comparison of Obama and Mussolini you only have to look at General Motors, AIG, and the systematic destruction of our banking system by the feds to see what is happening.

I am not angry, that is your opinion.... Sometimes people feel they are extremely educated, and live in worlds of superior thought (OBAMA) and quite frankly dont have common sense. I personally am not happy with either party.. They have done nothing to problem solve the nations problems...As a matter of fact since Lyndon Johnson initiated the great society all we have seen is the distruction of family, work ethics, and morality. We have generations of people that are on welfare, whom raise their children under these conditions which are no more than governmental slavery. It is so sad. I am not angry, but concerned for the welfare of my children and my 9 grandchildren. Their future is not rosey considering the staggering debt that our politicians have created through these uptovian theories of how government can fix everything...There are so many people on the dole that they have lost the will, and desire to better themselves. They are not oppressed (other than by our government) but have been led to believe that government knows better then they do, and will take care of them from cradle to grave. That is why our nation is on a failed path, and we are burying ourselves. We have taxed our corporations higher than any other nation in the world and that is why they have left. We need to reduce these taxes and make a level playing field so that corporations will come back to the United States. This is what will create jobs. The miserable bailouts have done nothing, unemployment is at an all time high, and quite frankly the government doesnt even know where the money went in most cases. Business is sitting on the sidelines because they are completely frustrated with the lack of direction Obama has taken us. He truely is a socialist, just follow his policies, it is so totally like Mussolini before World War II. Not one Socialist economy has ever succeeded. Look at Cuba, North Korea, Italy, Half of europe, they are all on the brink of financial failure. As for snopes, they obviously felt it more important to deny those dockets rather than give impartial facts. The pattern of coverups and ignoring our Constitution has been disheartening in this Administration. I want to see fresh views not presented as partisan beliefs, but actual problem solving solutions iniated by solid people that have common sense. We cant keep kicking the debt down the road...It needs to be tackled and approached with real world problem solving..I know the progressives feel the Tea Party people and the Liberterians are kooks, but hey they are the real people that still work and are trying to fight this tremendous move toward socialism. They want to put in a honest days work and be proud and rewarded. The Unions, and socialist, progressives feel that everyone should be protected. What a disaster, so then you have folks that dont want to work, and It is perfectly OK for someone else to support them...Our schools of learning unfortunately are full of these progressives. They have never held a real job or created any. The poor kids are subjected to their views, with out giving the balance of the oposite views and then making up their own conclusions. Even in Science you weigh the results of what will or will not happen when you mix ingrediants. Our society is not a science experiment... Our founding fathers fought the British to remove these govenmental imcumbrances, and here we move exactly to what we fought so hard for Freedom to succeed or fail. I too love history, but as many of our great leaders of yesterday have recognized, we need to learn from history and prevent the repeats of failure..

try here: http://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/1999/lexus/ls400/fuel_injection/oxygen_sensor.html Also on other lexus vehicles (RX300) Amazon has had best price...

Enjoy your ride, and yes keep the tranny fluid fresh, at least once a year do a drainn and fill. Lots of good support on this site as well as Club Lexus. learn and save. Great contributors to these forums about the RX300.

Actually, its a Lexus forum. Actually it is this kind of forum: The Club Lounge Talk about other topics here not related to Lexus. I don't see how Jim insulted you. What you posted was in fact, a chain letter. Do you deny that? Your original post wasn't a respectful political argument that invited opposing viewpoints on the same level to join into a discussion amongst equals. the insult came from his first post asking if I had anything better to do than post emails chain letters....His first post did not say anything about the fact that the email was thought provoking and discussing the lack of truth being conveyed by SNOPES as well as the fact that the true information was so readily available on the Government sites. This to me shows that complete dismissal of any views other than progressive views... If you want to have a real discussion then fine, but posting some ideological chain letter is not inviting a real discussion. This is not your point of view, or an opinion you've formed yourself. Like Jim said...its a silly chain letter. This is your view (idealogical) not necessarily those of all people on this forum...Some may feel the same as I do. I question everything, both left and right, but dont slam any view just because it isnt mine. Jim did finally post later to debate this. And I feel that is the proper way this forum should be ran.

Trust me the lexus dealerships have nothing on the rebuilts...other than a high price. I would do some research and find an independent that works on these transmissions and have it rebuilt...They also will stand behind their warranty...Note: does lexus stand behind that warranty if you install it..?

5-20 should be just fine....Most all of the new engines can use that....My RX400h runs great on it. I Have even used 0-30 on my old RX300 (1999) and worked fantastic....Note I do use full synthetic....

My 400h seemed to use a little oil between changes, I changed the pcv valve last month and guess what, no oil change....The level is staying right up to the top...

Yes you can, On club lexus their is an individual that has done that....search for "something went bump" on the RX300 forum..personally I would not get one from Lexus, I would go to an independent. here it is: http://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-first-generation/320390-something-went-bump.html

It needs some extra car...however make sure there isnt a sleeve that is pushed to the left of right holding it up...

Did you look here: http://www.lexuspartsnow.com/Page_Product/PartDetail.aspx?model=LS400&year=1992&catalogCode=431410&VAID=4060&selectConditions=(8=USA)&originCountry=(8=USA)&goBack=false&sectionID=3&isBigPicture=False&componentsID=77-01&componentsIndex=41

Good luck Josh....Funny (not really) how servicemen are threatened with such, when our load mouth politicians blow off secrets all the time, and they still get to keep their job and draw that lifetime retirement... But really, watch your back, and I will pray for you...we are behind you 100%...Look forward to your safe return and future postings...

I know on the RX300 that bolt has to be removed. The pivot point sticks sometimes, and you might try a screwdriver inbetween that point and alternator to see if it budges...

Could be the linkage is binding somewhere, however the lock motor may be weak...Time for new lock motor or some of the $5 piggy back fixes...

that is awlsome...Remember my younger days driving in Spain....I drove a Triumph TR250 (TR5 in Europe)...Drove like crazy on weekend, and spent the week fixing it...Oh those were the days....

Thank you Lexirx330, agree totally with your solutions...

I believe this forum is exactly for this kind of discussion....Does it bother people that Kagan denies cases against OBAMA and then she gets appointed to her present position. Does it bother people that supposedly SNOPES is the so call watch dog of information and yet they give false information? This bothers me a great deal since many have given snopes as the authority by which to denounce information posted on the internet. As for your comment, I do talk cars and give helpful info all of the time on this and many other forums. But to insult me doesnt justify your opinion which you gave none. At least directly... Funny how everything is denounced, when it comes to statements against progressives, but give a conservative view, and question things to understand what is going on and we conservatives are slapped with statements such as yours. I believe honest discussion and opposing points of views are what a debate forum is about....But I do not appreciate people slamming someone for their views whether contrary or not. I am open to others points of view with a more critical discussion of facts...

This is truely an interesting email...Sounds like to me Justice Kagan is on the take for OBAMA>>>plus SNopes is no longer a trusted authority...Another example of Chicago style politics at its best...Where is the investigative reporters out there.? SNOPES EXPOSED Snopes is heavily financed by George Soros, a huge financial supporter of Obama! “…. In our Search for the truth department, we find what I have suspected on many occasions. I went to Snopes to check this out and they said it was false and there were no such dockets so I ‘Googled’ the Supreme Court, typed in ‘Obama-Kagan,’ and guess what? Yep you got it.Snopes lied. Everyone of those dockets are there. So Here is what I wrote Snopes: Referencing the article about Elena Kagan and Barak Obama dockets: The information you have posted stating that there were no such cases as claimed and the examples you gave are blatantly false. I went directly to the Supreme Court’s website, typed in Obama Kagan and immediately came up with all of the dockets that the article made reference to.. I have long suspected that you really slant things but this revelation is really shocking. You exist behind a veil of half truths and distorted facts. Hoping you will be honest and forthcoming in the future is probably expecting too much. ************* That being said, if you really didn't know THIS then your investigative reporting is a sham; Kagan was representing Obama in all the petitions to prove his citizenship. Now she may help rule on them. Folks, this is really ugly. Chicago Politics; and the beat goes on and on and on... Once again the US Senate sold us out! Well, someone figured out whyObama nominated Elana Kagan for the Supreme Court.... Pull up the Supreme Courts website, go to the docket and search for Obama. Kagan was the Solicitor General for all the suits against him filed with the Supreme Court to show proof of natural born citizenship. He owed her big time. All of the requests were denied of course. They were never heard! It just keeps getting deeper and deeper, doesn't it? The American people mean nothing any longer. It all comes down to payback time for those who compromised themselves to elect someone that really has no true right to even be there. Here are some websites of the Supreme Court Docket: When you look up some of these hearings and guess what?? Elana Kagan is the attorney representing Obama!!! Check out these examples: http://www.supremecourt.gov/Search.aspx?FileName=/docketfiles/09-8857.htm http://www.supremecourt.gov/Search.aspx?FileName=/docketfiles/09-8857.htm http://www.supremecourt.gov/Search.aspx?FileName=/docketfiles/09-6790.htm http://www.supremecourt.gov/Search.aspx?FileName=/docketfiles/09-6790.htm http://www.supremecourt.gov/Search.aspx?FileName=/docketfiles/09-724.htm http://www.supremecourt.gov/Search.aspx?FileName=/docketfiles/09-724.htm If you are not interested in justice or in truth delete this. However, If you hold sacred the freedoms granted to you by the U.S. Constitution… By all means, please… PASS it ON!

And from what i gather the early 400h was set for regular and the 2008 was definetly 91ocatane...

I will watch for that commercial....I get the same mileage up here in Sacramento area...so much better than the old RX300

Ahhh, yes the data plans can be real expensive...That is why I dropped mine this year and went back to just straight phone and texting....If I need info I go home and get on the computer...kind of like the old days...

Wow josh, why so many lines...We have two phones and pay $76 per month with no data plan....That includes 250 text messages per phone. (verizon)...OH and 700 minutes with free to fellow verizon and weekends and nights etc... but glad everything worked out for you. We both use LG phones with the real keyboards....

Sorry, meant to say that the split window was on the 63 corvette fastback....Then they came out with a single curved glass....
