Orange County CAF's: up to no good

Agreed, I thought it's a bit early for that, I'm at ~135K and am hoping my cats don't go out anytime soon.
I'll ask him about the head gasket.

 

That was my thought but idk how the computer would allow it to run lean or rich

 

My dad's Lexus is the old LS400 4.0L V8

 

He has them priced at ~700 each

 

Oh that could be the case... good call.

 

My car cat went bad before the CEL ever went on. A bad 02 sensor will accelerate the cats damage.

 

Sounds about right....ugh

 

^ Update. He replaced the O2 sensors already and said the head gasket is leaking. That is more than likely the problem. Leaking head gasket is causing it to run either too lean or too rich.

 

Is it just the factory gasket that goes bad or will this happen again if he has the head gaskets replaced?

 

Glad we both have 07 4.0L
Got it. I'll let him know. Thanks Danny

 

It's probably just the factory production issues of not torqued correctly and the material at the time they were using.

 

Yeah that's what I'm saying. They finally caught on and changed the gasket material

 

My bro has 250k on his 07 and passes flying colors.

 

HB peeps, where do you get your truck worked on?

 

I just had some work done at HB Auto & AC. Nice bunch of people, they'll look over your whole truck for free too

 

Came across these on a App "offer up"

Not sure if it's a good price or not **not mine** just though I'd share the find.

 

Leaf spring question. So I have the recall letter and am wondering if I should go get it done. I have deavers and most of yall know I am not very satisfied with them. The are great offroad but cant handle a load worth shit. As I use my truck daily for work, I was thinking of getting the recall done and then getting some Allpros/Dakars. Probably sell the deavers for cheap and use the new recall springs until I figure out my rear. Any thoughts?

 

Oh yeah? Reimbursement? Never heard of such a thing. Aftermarket Deavers blow a load.

 

I just cant handle it anymore. 5 sheets of drywall and a couple fivers of paint and I am bump stopping. My old ranger way out carries me now and the stock springs were toast. Thought the Deavers would work. Nope
