Thanks man. That is what I was afraid of. And you are right. I might as well do evrything in there I can.

So I have a V8 and an AC leak. I put dye in it and I found the dye in the ac condensation water dripping from under the car. What am I looking at here in terms of repair?

AC is weak. I also have an intermitant belt squeal. Bad ac compressor? Or needs charged? How do I diagnose?

Good news! You guys were right. It was leaking valve cover. And that reminded me that these V8s can let their valve cover bolts get loose. All of them needed tightened.

Skid plates and tank protector are easy. And if you snap a skids plate bolt I have a turorialnonnhere somewhere about how to drill them out. I broke three and fixed them. As far as sourcing the skids you can go OEM. But if you are sourcing new (not used) parts I would recommend going...

So I just found what looks like an oil leak on the lip of the transmission where it makes to the engine. It's not dripping yet and I'm not really losing a lot of oil. Am I looking at a rear main seal? Any thoughts on how to address this issue?

Well. I replaced the plugs and oil and cleaned the throttle body and when I started it back up it did it again. But like last time it went away after a second or two. I took it for two healthy test drives and let it sit over night. The next mor NJ ing it started fine. So maybe it just...

Ok folks. I've got a head scratcher. I have (what I think is) piston slap on cold start up. After a second, it goes away and it (2005 GX470) runs fine. Actually great. I just cleaned the throttle body, changed the oil and spark plugs bc that's all I know to do to throw at this issue. Any...

185 I use obd 2 sensor bluetooth sensor and torque app 100 I used my hand

So apparently the t-stat is working just fine. Return hose gets hot and when I I drain the liquid it is still tinged pink so its mixing with what's left in the engine. I just thought the drained liquid would be hot enough to burn me. But its coming out at about 100 degrees F.

I am trying to flush my cooling system and I let this thing run for 30 minutes or more. Coolant temp go to 185. When I go to drain the water coming out is cold. Thoughts on this?

No. I have no power without the key. No dome lights, nothing.

I checked that fuse and it looks good. Any other ideas?

Fob is dead. I get no response from fob and nothing from locks unless the acid on. Super weird. It seems like the loop for the constant power to the power locks has been broken. I'm liking the anti theft module being bad after the tail gate transplant.
