Hello, had to remove the engine in my 2004 LS160 noticed the center of the flex plate spline I can move the center back and forth about 1/2 inch. Looking at the back of the flex plate it looks like this may be normal but I am not sure and wanted to ask if someone has noticed this and if it is in...

Got the pump Friday it is a new Eaton pump not rebuilt that would have upset me because I asked that question when I ordered it. My pet peeve is hearing people chewing there food.

Hello, me again thanks for the resposes on my last two posts very helpfull info on this site. The EIC display on my loader has a code F 03. I think it is glow plug related. I live in Florida and cold is never a real issue and engine always starts fast and runs real good but would like to repair...

Thanks, I will go get the the things I need to check the pressure at the aux ports. I was talking to a friend of mine that said the pump was weak he has had more hydraulic experiance than I have. But he did not know how to test the sys the proper way. Now I know how to check it and be more...

Hello, new to this forum. I have a 2004 ls160 that the boom over time has lost power. It will lift the grapple slow empty at 100% rpm. I was told the gear pump was weak but the bucket cylinders and the grapple arms seem fine, the bucket cylinders will lift the machine off the ground with no real...
