    Rear upper Tri-link?

    i don't think it is the uca. i think it is the lca's temperature here is 80 degree days 53 degree nights. it only started after my lca recall replacement. hotter than that when they were replaced. i will wait till it gets colder to see if it changes at all. mike

    that is 3 cases of squeaks after lca recall replacements. another interseting fact is mine goes away in rain storms. i assume the water is acting as a lubricant and stopping the squeak? mike

    4.0L must be a good motor if you are comparing it to the 7.3L powerstroke diesel.

    God another problem, fuel gauge reading wrong now

    $14 dollars of gas at 3.70 a gallon = 3.783 gallons. i propose the gas guage is reading correct, because it is a 20.5 gallon tank. and 3.783 gallons would be just below a quarter tank. i hope you didn't damage the fuel pump running it dry twice? maybe that is the cause of the drivability...

    Broken Valve Spring

    the springs were updated for the 3.7L in 2005. they (the old) were made by the same supplier that made the valve springs in the lexus recalls. it is an industry wide problem that seems to have been rectified around 2005 in the industry. but for the 3.7L it had many valve train changes in 2005. mike
