I couldn't get the hydros put on because they only come in T rated I think.......maybe up to H though....... I bought Yokohama Avid V4s for my LS......$75 each.........cheaper than the Michelins and very nice :D

Bosch is the Brand I put on too Silver..... :D

wow, it cleans all of that for 100 bucks? man i'm gonna do that, that sounds like a maintence must......do you know of a general auto chain that does that procedure ← Man, I'm with you Silvermate!!! $100 and it does all that.............crazy good! I mean, you don't have to take anything apart ---it's a dream come true

That's the way to do it!!!

Very nice buddy!!!! That second gear will definately................GIT ER DONE!!!!!

Not for me either........... Not a problem, just my opinion... :D

Blake, Email me that mpeg!!!

SirSam, Nice Avatar

Nice wheels silver...... :D

Bart, this is how I bought my LS....they had about 8 LS400's lined up back to back --- a strictly "lexus" auction line with other lexus dealers bidding too..... Mine checked out great ....as is today :D

Here's a diag from my manual....... Sounds like some sort of "limit switch" could be faulty....like it thinks the window is shut when actually 2" short... Have you tried sticking a 2x4 in there and see if it retracts properly (child safety?)... But yeah ...12 year old....motor could be a little weary.... :D trou.pdf

ecu, to get an 02 for less than $35k is really pushing it....very doubful @ dealer, but they should get to the $37-8K range via negoiation.... I agree with SW than Jan/Feb are good times to get best deals....Christmas bills on Credit is due, taxes have been paid by 12/31, etc...and people are out of available cash to get a vehicle. Personal property wise, it's also better to wait until after Jan 1 to get a car.....unless the dealer will write it up like that and give you an offer you can't refuse...

So then why isn't anyone using the appropriate size open end wrench to unscrew the solenoid (instead of beating on it with a chisel)? And when reinstalling, why is everyone pounding the solenoid back on (instead of !Removed! it back on)? What is really securing the solenoid anyway? Threads? The "O"-Ring seals? Or is it a press fit? ← Like lexus400 says.....its just threaded on... If you have a very "thin" channel lock pliers or similar, you could probably get around the nut. Its just in a tight place and a "tap" with the chisel is easiest....

Monarch, Yes - you are on the right track!! The nut is loosened with a screwdriver/chisel.... Mark it with a sharpie so you can line them up when you tighten it Back!!! Here is link to ease your mind.......good luck!! http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index...howtopic=12024& btw, great photos......

Thanks for this info Lex..........

My wife just got some shoes from Zappos today......... High Quality stuff.........

For the first time in your life you actually learn to really "handwash" your car and vow to never run it through a carwash ever again...... :D

Highly doubtful as the two systems are quite different......the newer screens are superior to the 98-00 displays. You can update your system to the latest 04 information @ dealer for around $350 I think...

That's why I use amsoil products... but I've still got 6 quarts of T-IV fluid to use. I"ll probably always use T-IV in the tranny...... But the diffy gets Amsoil and I'll go back and forth between Amsoil Syn Oil and Mobil One........ :D

It does have synthetic additives, but is not a totally syn. product.

Amsoil is approved to meet & exceed the Toyota T-IV fluid ....so it's okay. T-IV has synthetic additives and it probably just as good as the Amsoil. It's been 3-4 years as you say.........so I wouldn't switch.

Bob, Great info........... thanks for your research!!!

Correct!!! be sure to mark it with a sharpie so you can tighten it back to the same spot.....

Craig, I've watched it........very nice engine sound I have no idea why it takes so long.... You have a new air filter, clean thottle body, plugs, wires, etc.... maybe the MAF sensor is faulty........something is restricting the 1uzfe engine from unleashing a little more of its punch!!
