Who's the man? You are...can't believe I hit every button but that to come to this conclusion! Born in Indiana, raised in AZ moved California and your nowhere close for me to buy you a beer or to...too many! Thanks

There's got to be a simple solution...how do you program a new home location in a 2001 ls430? I recently purchased this from Arizona and it has the current version 9.1 or something like that but when I hit "home" it takes me back to Arizona, I'm from California... There's nothing that allows me to delete the home location (I can do that with recent destinations, but not home), and reprogram with my current home location. Naturally, I got all the other manuals with the car, just not this one! Thanks so much for helping!

It's too loud to be a loose fitting. It has a grinding sound to it. Like the bearings in a pump are going out. But, it's so loud and seems to be too loud for a pump, besides, what pump would make this noise only at higher speeds and operated perfectly normal below that speed? No check engine light and rpm's do not replicate the problem. ??????????????

I just checked the ps fluid. It's fine. It doesn't matter which way I turn the wheel. The noise only starts after 55 mph and stops when I slow below that. Do you think it could be the drivetrain or differential? Thanks for your help.

Everything seems to be tight underneath. Thanks for your help, it's very much appreciated!

It's definatley coming from somewhere under the hood. But as soon as I pull over to pop the hood, the noise goes away. Just as soon as I drop below 55, the noise stops. It's only at higher speeds. Drive line? Differential? Sounds expensive! Any ideas of $$$ if that is the cause. Going through nasty divorce...running out of thousand dollar bills fast! Actually, I'm out. Thanks

It's a very loud grinding noise. There is no loss of power. It only happens above 55 mph. Could it be something with the drive train? The transmission was replaced last year and it continues to shift fine. If it wasn't for the incredibly loud noise, you wouldn't think anything was wrong. Thanks for responding!!! I need help!

I have a 92 LS400 that makes a very loud noise only at speeds of 55mph or higher. It doesn't seem to be engine related as I can put the car in neutral at the higher speed and the noise continues. As soon as I drop below 55mph the noise goes away so I can't isolate it. There's no vibration at all. It seems to run just fine. I can't get it looked at for a few days, I'm wondering if I'm doing further damage to it driving at lower speeds. I've had bad experiences with the Lexus dealership in Sacramento, so I'll wait to take it to a local mechanic. When I do, should I drive it there or have it towed? I love this forum and I sure would appreciate any thoughts on this problem! Thanks!!!
