Got the GX back on Wednesday afternoon. With a computer reset due to battery being disconnected, it had to re-learn my driving style for both the engine and transmission (started off a little anemic). Some dozens of miles of spirited highway driving later, and it feels good as new. Not seeing any leaks, shifts great, and idles smooth as ever with the new spark plugs. 53mi trip into work tonight was uneventful.

I find myself missing some of the '24 RX's bling (keep looking for the HUD on the windshield Lol), but love this GX all the same. I DON'T miss the RX's 4-banger engine tones - and greatly adore the V8's refined chocolatey growl. Strangely - the RX's engine tone was much more tolerable in ECO mode where it short-shifts and uses less boost.

No charge for any of the transmission replacement or valley plate re-sealing services (they called it "belly plate" in the documentation). Confirmed a genuine Lexus reman tranny was used (PN: 35010-35B70-84 shipped from Florida to TX). Spark plugs, oil change and remainder of gas to fill-up the loaner ran ~$650 out of pocket (as expected). And a free loaner for almost 3 weeks and well over 1200 miles of wear!

Next up is another round of Transfer/Diff fluid replacements, power steering flush, and new Bilstein shocks. Hoping to see 200k+ before another major repair (or hoping that another major repair happens before the warranty runs out late November!).

Thanks for following along. Toodles for now - Randy V.
