    Kicking tires on 2005 Lexus LS430

    I don't know if I would trade the Suburban if I didn't have to. A 2005 Lexus is still a 19 year old car. I would check Carfax for pricing in your area to get an idea of mileage v. price. FWIW, the asking price for my recently aquired 2002 was $18,999; but it only has 24.4k miles. A lot has...

    Cap adapter to pressure bleed Toyota brake fluid?

    I bought an adapter one like this for the LS400 but I've yet to use it. I can't recall where I got it from. I think it'll fit on the LS430. https://www.asttool.com/detail_page.php?tool_number=TOY18B&highlight=TOY_18B_img2a.jpg

    Steering wheel shake when braking

    Or the front wheel bearings (as my Legend). Odd that the Highlander has the steering wheel shake, but only when the adaptive cruise control is applying the brakes to slow the vehicle when descending a grade. 🤷‍♂️

    How do you get full brake shoe contact with drum brakes?

    In the old days, the machine shop would cut the drums and then grind the ends of the frictions so that the frictions would have a high spot that would wear into the radius of the drum. Now, there's no need because the ends of the frictions are pre-ground. "Dust mask? We don't need no stinkin'...

    RIP - Dikembe Mutombo

    I don't follow the NBA, but Mutombo passed the same day as Pete Rose. He had an awesome career; this is my only recollection of him.

    Toyota red vs zerex red.

    FWIW, Toyota-Pink is forward and backward compatible with Toyota-Red. Applies across all brands/models. Didn't find any revisions. I can't comment on other brands of coolant.

    Post your latest parts purchase

    For the front lighting on the LS. Uses the high beams as DRL's. They're on all the time except for when the mains (HID) are on. No way to shut them off. I don't think they run hot enough at that low voltage. Hence, the rusty colored deposits on the inside of the capsule. The yellows are...

    Flattened threads in part of hole

    There is a thread form called, Sellers' Thread; 60* with flat crest and root. I don't know if this is what you have. I've never seen this thread form and I wouldn't know where it's used. Could it be some kind of upset thread locking mechanism?

    Didn't want to leave you hanging. This is the process: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/MC-10111274-9999.pdf I'm guessing that even the dealer isn't going to be able to update the map data.

    AC blows HOT after tightening steering rack bolts

    The compressor on most Honda is down low on the passenger side. The engine in the Integra is flipped left/right; the compressor is on the driver side.

    What are you working on today?

    Pulled the Little Tree deodorizer and did a 15 mile drive on the interstate at Max AC with ducts on outside air. The smell is pretty much gone. I also removed the cabin filter and gave it the sniff test - all clear. Had some time to do busy work; finished downloading documents from TIS...
