SHOCKED My Lexus LS 460 Has Come To This.....

[@danakern2440]

I am pulling for you to straighten out that beautiful beast and impressed with your repeated deep dives under the hood

[@Sam_Dunn]

Thank you thank you 🙏🏼! Hopefully will be going soon!!

[@sharkfinn8091]

Picking up an 07 tomorrow morning. Tons of lights on the dash. Guy says it because ABS actuator needs to be replaced. Fingers crossed.

[@Sam_Dunn]

Nice!! Let me know how it goes! Excited for you!

[@noelsaw]

I had overall good luck with my 07 LS but like almost any other owner had to replace valve cover gaskets (which I didn’t replace in time caused oil to be sprayed onto the O2 sensor needing that to be replaced too) and front control arms. The other thing I had to replace were the engine mounts. All this was not cheap on this car but probably took care of things for another 100k miles. I traded that in for 2014 LS460 F-Sport and immediately had to fix the leaking valve cover gaskets. I am waiting for the air suspension to go eventually but bought a good set of air shocks from a buddy’s LS with only 33k miles on them. Good luck with yours!

[@Sam_Dunn]

Wow! How do you like the ls460 f sport

[@noelsaw]

@@Sam_Dunn it’s nice! It comes from the factory with a few performance enhancements like the air suspension, 6 piston Brembo calipers in the front, forged (but still heavy) BBS 19” wheels, and Torsen limited slip differential. They are very rare.

[@Tiggaknock]

Man I replaced the fuel pump gasket in my ISF, that was a b*tch and a half. I was replacing the valve cover gasket seals and I find it hard to believe anyone has ever done this job without breaking something. 😂

[@Sam_Dunn]

Same here brother!!!

[@Maxumized]

My 2009 sounded the same way on morning. Opened the hood and a squirrel chewed through those wires on the injector modules. Had to rewire one side…started like new again. Sounds like you got crossed connectors on your injector modules

[@Sam_Dunn]

Wow, that’s so unfortunate. Good to hear that you got everything straightened out. That’s exactly right, everything worked out just fine once those hoses were switched!

[@kedah2398]

I love my garage queen LS460 Fsport and I couldn't help but laugh when you called it a dumpster fire!! She looks sooo damn pretty sitting in my garage and the only reason I haven't offloaded her is she's the last of Lexus V8 NA. So far for 2024(February ~ April) I have refreshed the entire front end suspension all OEM, high pressure fuel pump reseal, 4 new tires, pulled some dings, paint corrected and ceramic coated and Valley Plate resealed. All I can say it's north of $9k and all she does is sit in the garage.

[@Sam_Dunn]

That’s awesome! I’m sure your car is in pristine condition. Don’t get me wrong, I think the LS 460 is one of the best cars ever built. The “dumpster fire “was referring to my car at that specific point in time. Not a generalization of the car.😅 Thanks for your comment 🙏

[@pleasehavesomewater]

i can’t stop thinking about modding my ls460 after watching this video i’ll be sticking with preventative maintenance😂

[@Sam_Dunn]

Please do!!

[@AliceinNirvanagarden]

Maan that's tough luck with your LS, troubleshooting was engaging tho. Hope to see it revived in a month

[@Sam_Dunn]

Same here, my friend!

[@EduardoAsteasuainzarra-mb4pt]

What’s good bro I see your in Florida dude? I live in fl myself let me tell you I’ve been in Tennessee for the last week and the weather has been so all over the place and cold as f$$$. As far as landscaping definitely year around but in the winter months it does tend to get slower, that’s when you negotiate with your homeowners the price for those months so they don’t get cheap on you and act like money just falls from trees!! commercial properties you will make a killing and most of the time those are contracts. Any ways man good luck with the 460 can’t wait to see what the heck is wrong with it something tells me at something small. Good luck brother.

[@Sam_Dunn]

Thanks for the advice! Definitely looking forward to getting back in the grind of things when I return! Big updates on the 460 soon😁

[@TheLeGeNdPvE]

It seems 07-09 were trouble some from what I've heard.

[@Nathan_Jay]

Yeah, you have the valley plate seal, control arms, possible transmission clunkiness, and the sticky plastic from pre-2010 models. Starters seem to also be common on 460s, they're a pain in the ass to change.

[@TheLeGeNdPvE]

@Nathan_Jay Yeah wouldn't be my favorite diy job.. so we're the 2010-12 better? Less issues? Looking to buy one I love the 13 but wife is getting a gx460 so I'm trying to keep a budget.. and it's about a 10k difference for a good one.

[@canoeshoe]

Denso OEM radiator on Rockauto for $137.89. It should be the revised radiator with the stronger overflow nipple. Buy OEM radiator or nothing else. Looks like you may have an unrevised radiator part. It's fine though, it'll be years before that nipple breaks off.

[@Sam_Dunn]

Oh geez! Hopefully she lasts😬

[@edreesmadethis]

I’m glad my poptart comment made it @9:44 😂

[@ngamerplayz8329]

i wanna get one but by seeing your videos my mind keeps changing are they really that unreliable im planning to get a japanese spec 2011 and up

[@Sam_Dunn]

They are not unreliable, just crate hard to fix on the rare occasion they break!

[@MoTheModel90]

I just dropped another tranny in my 2007 LS460, I refused to give it up so I fixed it lol. Let's get these beast together bro!!! where did you get that jacket at???

[@ngamerplayz8329]

you should get a pair of 600hl headlights for the 460

[@Nathan_Jay]

treason 😂

[@capolato3212]

@Yatchls what oil is best for these cars?

[@Sam_Dunn]

Personally, I use mobile 15W 20 high mileage, full synthetic! Although somebody was telling me, I might want to switch to a more dense viscosity because of how much oil I’m burning. It will prevent less oil from seeping past. The valve seals

[@Tweaked818]

I just started using idemitsu, i cant really tell a difference but i wanna say it burns less oil if not the same

[@capolato3212]

@@Sam_Dunn alright thank you👍🏼

[@beats_and_cars]

What's up Sam this is the guy with the blue LS460L lowered on trafficstar wheels in Staten Island.... I too had to change the radiator... Did you buy the newer version of the radiator or the same replacement. Toyota change the radiator due to the design flaw (nipple breaking off). I literally watched this video and felt horrible... I hope this doesn't happen on mine.

[@Sam_Dunn]

Hey man, good to hear from you! Honestly, I’m not too sure which one I installed. All I know is the nipple is still on there!😃

[@beats_and_cars]

@@Sam_Dunn I'm glad you got it back up and running.... Yeah that was a design flaw from Denzo/ Toyota.... From Club Lexus : The OEM superseded part has larger diameter nipple with thicker wall to address the issue (so you will need the updated reservoir hose because the older one will be too small). Many Lexus dealers will sell same part number as already installed in the car. At least, I had to ask for the superseeded part as I was offered the same part number as just failed one. I believe, it is done to get rid of the old stock. Love the ls430 you picked up. I also picked up the new updated Tesla screen... much better than the version 1 Tesla screen. Still waiting to buy more audio stuff.

[@Sam_Dunn]

Yo next video I talk about how that was the problem!! I needed you a couple weeks ago😂

[@russel082581]

You focused so much on ruining that cars prestige and turning it into a rice rocket with horrible looking exhaust that you abused making sure all the engine components were good before focusing on the exterior. Classic noob mistake.

[@Sam_Dunn]

Fortunately, cars are easier to replace than all the incredible memories that were and are still being forged with this LS! Would not trade them for a boring car!! Thanks for stoping by!! 💪
