  1. I bought a head unit from a wrecking yard (about $200), put it in the upper glove box. Unfortunately, there is a bunch of trim work I couldn't locate, so I have a gaping hold in the upper glove box by the new CD player. Sounds incredible, though!
  2. RCR Fan3-What is the part number or name of the hood strut at Autozone? I can't seem to locate it, but would like to. Is it this? http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?U...C%7ENONE%7C%7EW
  3. So, Larryp....does that mean if I can't afford $10, I can just have you email me the pages from the manual ;)
  4. https://techinfo.toyota.com/index Looks like it might have great info, but spendy. Anyone used it? Looks like there is a coupon available to "try it out". How can I get it?
  5. What color and brand do you recommend? I have a 96 LS400, tan interior. Pix would be great
  6. Check the transmission mount (also called the rear motor mount). Mine was shaking up a storm, replaced it, and now it is smooth as silk.
  7. Will you snap a picture so I can see how ugly :)
  8. I need to put a cover on my dashboard (96 LS 400, brown/tan interior). What do you recommend? Color? Anyone have pix?
  9. I have a few scratches on my bumper, thinking about putting a bra on it. Anyone have pix of what it might look like (mine is charcoal in color, 96). What brand would you buy? Thanks!
  10. Didn't scare me off...just prompted me to go look a little closer before digging in. Thanks for the great advice and pix, though! Turns out (knock on wood) the lower radiator hose had a pin hole. This pin hole was only noticable when the rig was at operating temperature, and the radiator full of water. Anyway, the pin hole just happened to be spewing a small stream of water right onto the serpentine belt and the alternator pulley. To make a long story short, I think the water was making the belt whine a bit....and it was affecting the alternator's ability to charge the battery. I sprayed some belt dressing on the belt and the pulleys, the whining stopped (thank God!), tells me the water pump is likely OK for another 15k miles, then I have to decide if I'm gonna replace the water pump or have it done. Now, I know what to expect, and for that, I am grateful to all of you! Damon
  11. I need to replace the water pump on my 96 LS400. How do I do it? Big job?
  12. I'm rebuilding a 96 LS400. I got a Pioneer CD Changer from a wrecking yard. Is there a harness I need to buy to plug it in? What kind of trim work do I need to make it fit? Anyone have a picture of what it looks like installed? Where can I get the necessary parts? Thanks-and if you are out there PIONEERSUBY, I know you can answer this! Damon
  13. I'm replacing the air bags on my 96 LS400. I want to make sure I do it right and they are safe. What is a clock spring? How do I know if it is bad? How do I get the air bag light to turn off? Do I need to replace the computer? Any other input? I want this car to be SAFE!
  14. Thanks for the offer. It is Charcoal gray with tan interior. Anyone else have airbags or parts for this car?
  15. Thinking about buying a 96 LS400. 75k miles, both airbags deployed. Owner smacked a pole with front bumper (will need to replace bumper and headlight assy) but no other damage. Car runs great, except vibrates (probably broken tranny mount). He's asking $8k. Should I buy it?
