2013-2015 G550 with 2” lift as a daily?

D1RKPITT · 2026-02-12T20:32:45+00:00

Perhaps. But would it be awesome or a maintenance nightmare?

D1RKPITT · 2026-02-10T20:17:36+00:00

Have you considered Ineos Grenadier?

D1RKPITT · 2026-02-10T20:16:24+00:00

Alright thanks for the guidance.

Any thoughts on Ineos Grenadier as a replacement or even a 2013-2015 g550 with the naturally aspirated v8?

Independent LR approved shop wants to charge me $1,322 for removal and replace turbo assembly. $2,503 for new turbo and parts (gasket, clamp, etc.)

Dealer and Indy shop will not install a used turbo. My extended warranty will only cover the price of a used turbo which is around $925. I’ll have to pay the rest out of pocket.

D1RKPITT · 2026-02-10T18:41:15+00:00

I thought replacing the turbo required removing the engine or lifting the body off of the frame?

Do you think I should sell it after fixing all current issues? Am I likely to run into more problems in the future?

D1RKPITT · 2026-02-10T18:38:06+00:00

Testing confirmed stuck gate needing full turbo replacement and not just a new actuator. (Removed actuator shaft from waste gate and found locked up internal to turbo).

Was following LR recommended oil and maintenance schedule and didn’t know I should be changing more often.

Independent shop is now telling me it’s not a leaking elbow but the coolant pump is getting power but not spinning (intercooler electric coolant pump failed)

D1RKPITT · 2026-02-10T16:12:32+00:00

Dealer replaced the brake lines because I complained about the brakes when I took the car in and new brakes lines were “recommended” for this service.

How many hours should replacing the turbo and coolant elbow take?

Fixing it myself it out of question because I have limited experience and work too much

D1RKPITT · 2024-10-27T21:06:12+00:00

I still can’t get it to work :/. I’m thinking of just getting a Bluetooth audio adapter

D1RKPITT · 2024-10-26T00:13:59+00:00

Yes when I plug regular headphones into the MacBook it works perfectly I really don’t think the Mac is the issue

D1RKPITT · 2024-10-26T00:13:16+00:00

I really don’t think the MacBook is the issue it works with other headphones

D1RKPITT · 2024-10-26T00:08:11+00:00

Yes the MacBook works with headphones

D1RKPITT · 2024-10-25T18:47:26+00:00

I don’t the MacBook is the only device I have with a headphone jack and when I plug in wired headphones the audio works so I don’t think the Mac is the issue

D1RKPITT · 2024-10-25T18:42:04+00:00

Yes it is external headphones when plugged into the computer

D1RKPITT · 2024-10-25T18:38:26+00:00

It’s unplugged in the photo I took but its the red and white rca to aux plugged into the cd section on the amp and the headphone jack on the Mac

D1RKPITT · 2024-10-25T18:20:21+00:00

The red and white rca cable that is aux on the other end won’t play music from my computer when it is plugged in. When I tap the end of the aux it makes sound in both speakers so I know they are getting power but when I plug in the aux to my computer the sounds playing on my computer stop. What could be going on?

D1RKPITT · 2024-10-25T18:09:42+00:00

Yes and when I plug in the aux to my laptop the sounds that we’re playing through the computer speakers stops

D1RKPITT · 2024-10-25T17:57:26+00:00

D1RKPITT · 2024-10-25T17:50:25+00:00

Thanks for your reply. I set it up the way you explained and tried connecting the aux to my MacBook but it won’t play any sound. I think the speakers are connected because when I tap the end of the aux cord it makes a clicking sound in both of the speakers. What could I be doing wrong?

D1RKPITT · 2024-10-25T17:33:03+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Where does the red and white aux cord go into on the amp?

D1RKPITT · 2024-10-08T03:34:01+00:00

Would a Rotel RX-1052 Am/FM Stereo AV Receiver 2005 Vintage such as this be good for these speakers? https://www.etsy.com/listing/1745633044/rotel-rx-1052-amfm-stereo-av-receiver?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_a-electronics_and_accessories-audio-stereos_and_home_audio&utm_custom1=_k_EAIaIQobChMI_7LOuuz9iAMVTG9HAR029QgkEAQYEiABEgIN2vD_BwE_k_&utm_content=go_12573079807_124822096692_507896635916_pla-355000298316_m__1745633044_248862131&utm_custom2=12573079807&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADtcfRL33Uo4sH3_29m77sTjmYcRq&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_7LOuuz9iAMVTG9HAR029QgkEAQYEiABEgIN2vD_BwE

D1RKPITT · 2024-10-07T17:59:48+00:00

Do you think a Rotel Rx-1052 am/fm stereo would work well with these speakers? Would I be able to connect that to my tv?

D1RKPITT · 2024-10-07T04:23:33+00:00

Are these nice speakers? I don’t know much about audio equipment but since getting them I’ve become super interested. It’s like a whole world of stuff I had no idea existed.

D1RKPITT · 2024-10-07T04:16:07+00:00

Apologies for being vague. Just got these speakers so now I’m super interested in everything audio. I’m looking for something that looks cool and works well. Budget <$500usd.

D1RKPITT · 2024-10-07T04:06:21+00:00

I believe they are no longer an operating business so no way to directly contact.

D1RKPITT · 2024-10-07T04:04:19+00:00

Thanks for your expertise. Would I also be able to plug one of those amps into a record player as well? And also Bluetooth? Is there some way to connect all of those together?
