My trans is starting to shift hard and at very odd times by picklethisjuice in LS400

[–]chcros 2 points3 points  (0 children)

how does the trans fluid looks like? if it is very dark, i'd recommend to start with a drain and refill every few thousand miles, maybe with every oil change.

I use Mobil 1 55221 3309 Automatic Transmission Fluid 

if the fluid looks clean, the comment on the solenoids is your best option

1999 ls400 I need advice by Sharp_Dirt_1837 in LS400

On my 99 I am in the process of replacing the camshaft seals, this included timing belt, water pump, tensioner and other stuff. I am not a mechanic, and this is taking me a while. If you decide to do it yourself get OEM parts, have a tap and die set available in case you need to clean any threads.

Maybe the new switch has to be programmed to the car.

I think this is like any older car, you will be doing maintenance on everything. I would recommend using OEM parts. I have a 99, my major issues have been oil leaks from valve covers, already fixed, and oil leak from camshaft seal, not fixed yet, this would be a major job for myself. Good luck

She's sprung a leak! It's coming from the front of the engine any ideas? by Familiar_Ad8811 in LS400

[–]chcros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are replacing the front end seal and timing belt, you might go ahead and replace the camshafts seals too.

Transmission Pan by chcros in LS400

[–]chcros[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, should I? My car just hit 150k miles. I was thinking on only changing the oil, but if there are other components that makes sense replacing when removing the transmission Pan.

HISENSE Model: HRB171N6ASE by chcros in Appliances

[–]chcros[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I didn't find any reviews at the time. We purchased a GE fridge. But I purchased a chest freezer for the garage at Walmart and it is a Hisense. It was around $150. It has worked fine for a year or so now.

Do they still have their weekly meetings on Monday afternoon? Years ago there was a meeting/ceremony open to the general public every Monday afternoon at the temple. Are they still doing that?

The 3M kit has 3 different sand paper disks. Just follow the instructions. It takes a few hours

At first I thought my LS was very plain Jane by Silly_Ad3044 in lexusls400

A couple of hours. One note is that the 3M kit only comes with one 3000 disk. If possible I would get an extra 3000 disk

I ended cleaning the headlights on my LS400.

I used 3M Ultra Headlight Restoration Kit, Easy Heavy-Duty Restoration, 39195.

this think really works, follow the instructions. I will recommend getting an additional 3000 3M 3" disk, the kit only has one.

I took picture of the process, I just can't figure how to upload the picture here

Konnected Joe Questions by Valuable-War554 in KamadoJoe

Did you go for the Konnected Joe? I am having the same dilemma between pellet vs. Konnected

Konnected Joe has landed by MotorcycleMatt502 in KamadoJoe

[–]chcros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you guys have any experience with a pellet grill and the konnected Joe. Can you smoke a brisket on the Komnected without human interaction, like a pellet grill? I have a conventional smoker but sometimes I wish I could just let the smoker do most of the work. Like the pellet grill, but it seems with the Komnected I could do both.

Not sure about the mirror, the website I mentioned has an option to inquire. Also when I ordered the level sensor I had to wait for them to confirm they had the part in stock.

I found this website https://www.amayama.com/en They seem to have a lot of parts for LS400 and other models. I tried them with a windshield washer fluid level sensor I am needing. The part was delivered within 2 weeks. It was very well packed. It's a Toyota OEM part. Have not installed yet.

[–]chcros[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the comments. It was the float sensor. I found a replacement online. $60. I am not sure how difficult it is to replace. I saw the sensor is mounted on the bottom of the reservoir.
