You could always get a wide band air/fuel gauge to check to see if you do indeed have pre-detonation. IMost good dyno shops have them......except the LX has full time 4wd......you can still have the truck data-logged and then you can tell for sure.

Thanks for the answers Doug. I sent you a PM w/similar ?? Thanks for the help, It looks like I'll be new to the 4wd game. I've owned mainly road race cars, drag race cars, I've never owned 4wd truck, but it wiill help with my fly fishing addiction/habit, much better than trying to take a 35 series tired car off-road......not that I have!

Hello, New member here, thinking of buying a LX450 or Lancruiser. Is the heater hose THE cause of the blown head gaskets? or Is the 1FZ-FE engine just poorly designed? or Did Toyota cut corners w/a cheap head gasket? I'm doing my research and up till now was under the impression that they were fairly bullet-proof. I'm a pretty good wrench. I'm not affraid to tackle any job, just want to know what I may be in for.
