according to the car care nut or the oil guy, can't remember who, apparently the oil system is some how electronically or some how mechanically controlled according to the oil that Toyota specs it for. So it cannot make adjustments when using oil weights other than what is recommended, like the...
he recently posted on youtube a discussion on using 0-20 vs 5-20 or any other weights offered in different countries. Basically his take is that engines that "require" 0W-20 have the oil pump that is electrically controlled, I think he said, that it is set to work with 0W-20 and cannot adjust...
its not about how fast you can go around a track, it's what kind of confidence to they give you when encountering snowy/icy/rainy conditions. I drove from Seattle area to Anchorage last February and before I left I switched to the KO3's. On the drive they did good, but I never really...
If you select Sport mode in the mode selector that would probable keep the engine running at all times too, but you may have to select it every time you start it again.
We have a 2017 Rav 4 hybrid and this 2024 Taco hybrid. Both will shut off the engine when it thinks its the right time. If...
it seems funny to me how everyone that's commented on the TRD Bilstein shocks say they are too soft. I find them too hard, interested in finding something that rides softer, but still can handle some towing duties. Don't know.
from my experience manual mode isn't a true manual mode. if the truck doesn't like the gear you selected it will not let you shift into that gear, which is frustrating at times, so why even offer the manual mode?
Mine would have the rpms either stop at 2000rpm while idling down or if at idle coming to a stop idle up to 2000rpm. If I blip the throttle it would idle back down. Dropped it off at the local dealer since I was going to be out of town for two weeks. When I got back the shop foreman said that...
2024 TRD Off Road hybrid. AWE with full length. I like the sound, wife thinks it's too loud. Only complaint is hwy driving, especially towing as the trans mostly stays in 7th gear and doesn't go to 8th, it's bit louder than I would like for road trips. Also, the sound seems to get deeper with...
OTT has said that you can't install the TRD intake on a non-Pro or Trailmaster. There is a design difference in the intake tube size or something.
I have had the Stillen on mine since summer on my hybrid TRD Off Road. Ever since I have had it if you do a diagnostic check the MAF gets flagged...
did you install it? does it open up into the coolant? on the older 3.5 V6 it had a hole without entering the coolant passages, so it heated the block without heating the coolant. easy install. did you route like the instructions call for? maybe I should read the install instructions :)
The fit of the AWE was good. Sound pretty good, drone at hwy speeds not so good, especially when towing as I am most of the time in a higher gear. Stillen air intake been doing some odd things, but no check engine light🤣
