5/8 I went to smog & had numerous, not ready monitors. I did the hellish 5 minutes @55, decel without brakes to 20 stand on your head & remove your bowels 2x & got all but evap ready. Went back yesterday (my B-Day) & it turns out the CEL has not been lighting up, it needs a set of resistors & code on the teensy I was unaware of.

The guy that wrote the code has the fix & will eventually give it to me, he is busy. As I sold my old cluster, I just ordered one on eBay just in case. Worst case, I'll slap the eBay cluster in and get it smogged, come home & reverse the process.

MODDING IS FUN!

 

Mostly blue switch lights achieved, I'm particularly happy with the PSB-1, I got a roll of blue film, cut it to size & put it inside.

 

I am sure it was fine but I was not thrilled with the gap so did this.

 

Guys on the forum are doing this mod, I like it!

 

Some a$$hat in China just tried to steal my Apple ID. Hassle signing back into all my stuff, guess less than getting my sh!t back. :P

 

Radiator has been acting up, got a new OEM Denso.Should I be concerned about this?




I was able to bend most of the fins back.

 

I wouldn't accept that.

 

They issued a refund & don't want it back.

Any thoughts on this one?

Since I am in a time crunch, leaving 3 am Friday for L.A. I just dropped it at the shop that did the bung, they will fix the new broken radiator & install or sell me a refurb & install.

 

I would have installed that...
especially once it was free.

 

I argued with Amazon about not getting a replacement in a timely fashion so loudly they said keep it & have your damn money.

I need a good radiator to go to L.A. at 3am tomorrow so I took the damaged radiator to a shop, they pressure tested it & found it good, tested mine & it's leaking, they installed the new one, I was running at 205 before pre overflow nipple breakage, now it is 190.


I will order the CSF when I get back from L.A.

After 4 r&rs the bolts to the gas tank straps were a mess.

While it was there, they dropped the tank, welded in studs & put the tank back, now I can drop the tank to my heart's content (none) and not worry about the damn straps. Shoulda been studs in the first place imho.

 

2015 LX570 RSCA switches work! Less amber, moar blue!!!

More amber!

 

Soooooooooo, 260 miles in on my trip to L.A. I lost all fuel pressure. Towed to a Goodyear, happy they can get to it in about an hour, not so thrilled to pay 550 to r&r the tank and hopefully install the hose for the last time.

GRRRRR

 

On the rack!

 

It's the hose, other guys used but the mechanic said it is not high-pressure They are ordering the right one & will make sure it is together correctly & it will have a warranty (but I'd have to drive to Indio.

 

These guys are great, they took me to Napa, only local place that has it, (I have this same 50.00 hose at home) so I did not have to pay their markup.

 

The Napa hose is a Gates, the guy put it in and says it is good, I have a warranty so It's Goodyears problem now.

 

Truck is fine, drove the final 100 miles without incident, fuel pressure is higher, I have a 13mm wrench to loosen the retaining nut but not allens, going to buy a cheap set for the truck.

 

adderall or coke?


Glad you made it, you do not miss a beat.

 

Why not both?

The only thing I can come up with on the hose is it's another Amazon knock off. It failed like non submersibles do.

 

I just spent over an hour looking for a freaking cup of coffee. Nothing is open In this part of L.A. but a 7-11 4 miles away.

Good times.

lol

 

I was about to order the CSF but searched reviews & there are several not great ones & it only has a 2 year warranty vs lifetime for Mishimoto so.

Washed the 700 mile L.A. trip off.

 

New easier drain oil filter kit came.

 

with the fumoto on top do you even need to remove it?

 

The filter needs to be drained before it's removed. The oem process has a plate that comes out and a fitting with a hose (if you buy it) or a little doohickey that comes with each filter. The oem housing is a pita to remove. This will simplify the process.

 

3rd cluster was the charm, truck passed smog & is now registered until 5/25. Swapped the 18+ cluster back in. Hopefully we'll be in Mexico before then, if not, I'll swap the clusters.

 

Radiator came, FedEx just dumped it at my door, did not ring the bell. WTF???

 

I like it! Seems lame to remove a perfectly good Desno OEM that's working though.





Bouns air freshener!

 

Our gardner ghosted us about 2 months ago, took us three weeks to find a new one & 2 more to get an appointment.

Laurels run riot is getting exorcised this morning. Adios 500 bucks!

 

A butane torch and an aerosol can seems cheaper.

 

He didn't show up, blamed his employees not showing. WTF????

 

They came this morning, filled the trailer with less than 1/2

 

Project de-laurel is complete, now it's upkeep time.

 

I just went outside, it is 100000% brighter. But on the plus side we had a ton of birds nesting there, they gone.

 

Found this on Instagram, made me count. 30 is my number (current is 5)

 

Did @rockstar143 make that?🤣

 

15 here, 17 if I include the Flex & Expedition, 19 for the brief time I also had 2 motorcycles in the garage.
Currently own 3

 

So far, 9 cars, 2 motorcylces. The female would add four to that list but I don't want those cars on my record
