Re: Parting out LW300
Runs, but you're not driving it away. Needs a radiator, front engine mount and brakes. Front crank seal leaks, tranny's got a very slow leak somewhere. Body's in good shape, interior is fair. 2 of...

Re: Serpentine Tensioner Pulley Advice 3.0
Why not just replace the whole tensioner assembly, not much more expensive than just the pulley and bearing, and the tensioner spring probably needs replacement anyway if the bearing's bad

Re: Twim charged l200
The 4T-40E is only good up to about 190 ft lbs before you start blowing parts out the side. Recommend you do some upgrades there too.

Old control arm out, new control arm in (with a bit of fidgeting and pounding cause the forward mount was tweaked a bit). Just need to get it aligned now.

Re: 2000 LW2 3.0 Auto Trans Problem
If you're gonna drop the pan to change the fluid and filter, might as well change the Pressure Control Solenoid (OCS) while you're in there. Known problem and can cause the symptoms you've described.

Re: 2000 LW2 3.0 Auto Trans Problem

Skier,
As stated, first thing to do is check the fluid level.
