Will the TSB and parts replacement include a 2003 GX470 with 29,800 miles and out of their standard warranty period? Thank you.
If you make enough noise about it, you can get it done for nothing....as it should be. It's been a known issue with this vehicle and Lexus should have fixed it permanently as soon as they knew it. But, they say because it is not a safety issue, they will only fix it if a customer complains and if it is still under the 50,000 warranty.
You will see on the newest TSB that part of this service is covered to 70,000 miles and part only until 50,000 miles. Even my Lexus dealership did not know that part of it was covered under the 70,000 mile drivetrain warranty. I had to tell them to check the latest TSB.
In the end, I got the whole thing done for nothing on my 2004 GX470 with over 60,000 miles.
The newest TSB is April 2006. If anyone wants a copy of it, PM me with your email address and I will email you a PDF of it.
Thanks for all your help. My 03 GX goes in on Tuesday for the CLUNK and an A/C problem. Still covered under extended warranty. When you have a chance can you also send me the TSB from april.

Went in today for clunk and A/C problem. The A/C is now down to 40 degrees and the parts for the TSB CLUNK are on order with a 2 day to 3 week wait. They will only fix if you ask and still a backordered part.
