I realized the stock 245's on the SR5 were reading faster speeds than every GPS I've compared it to, as well as my dash cam. All three gps's I compared were spot on. I also did multiple distance tests with with the gps's, and the truck always registered more miles than traveled. I've since...

This concept pops up often on reddits and forums, and the "lifetimes" were, from what i understand, tied to the warranty periods and life expectancy of when most people trade cars (100,000-150,000). And i believe it was for non-truck vehicles, camrys, etc. The manuals for all Toyotas have and...

https://www.tacoma4g.com/forum/attachments/rm100000002h30z-pdf.21885/?force-system-browser=1 To get the proper level, you must also set the transmission thermostat and put the system in fluid temp mode to get the temp window correct. Heres a link from the OEM service manual to fine tune your...

Its got to be a typo. Even If it was driven the first day they shipped around dec 2023-jan 2024, they would have to had put on 350-500 miles every day, non stop for the 1-1.5 years they've been out.

Mine is not part of the tsb. Ive got 20,000 miles so far, and mine randomly has rough reverses that have seemed to diminish. Other 4th gens i know have the same. I also have hard 2-3 shifts when cold. Ive learned to cushion my shifts when its cold, by letting off the throttle slightly until it...

Mine does that randomly as well. I believe Its something fuel/air algorithm related to a specific ambient situation ive never cared to pinpoint. ive had every gen tacoma, and they all made odd random engine noises and all lasted well over 300,000 miles with zero issues. I think this noise is...

yep, came in the box

The cap, directly from SmartCap was $3600 shipped to Alaska in a week and a half. Surprisingly fast and Its definitely quite well made. My last tacoma had an ARE fiberglass. I think any future caps will be metal from now on.

Alot of times when wheels cant be balanced, the tires have runout that tend to be more pronounced at higher speeds. Theres nothing you can do but change the tire. They should be able to see it on a lift with the tire spinning. Ive seen mostly off road style, knobby tires have these issues...

Im at 10,000 miles and ive done 3 oil changes already. Two under 5000 during break in, and the last one at 5000. I have noticed it looks quite darker and more of a smokey smell to the oil at 5000, than my third gen. The turbo is definitely working the oil more. Using Amsoil synthetic and Im...

Laquisha ShaQueen Mobley.

I purchased the service manual from Factorymanuals.net

Looks like its just held on by clips. Pull out. Looks like its just held on by clips

well done

Mine works as normal. I shouldve given it more time before i wrote this post. After you disconnect it just prompts you again once it realizes its not there.

I wouldnt mess around with that on a modern vehicle. That would surely void a warranty, almost guaranteed. Also, the debris left behind in the trans' was sand from the castings, not metal particles. This would be something that could potentially be used on an old 80's or 90's vehicle, even...

You literally overthought all of this. Every engine for the last couple decades has wire loom/tape. The cover is entirely cosmetic and theres little to no point to its existence. Its probably better for the engine in terms of heat removal. Probably the worst thing you could do to your engine...

One thought about the smell..for the first few thousand miles, my Tacoma had a very sharp and peculiar smell i could not pinpoint. I believe it was either something in the Catalyst being burned off or some new coating on either the exhaust or engine that has slowly faded off. I initially it was...

The transmission is entirely different, and the sand castings wouldnt affect a manual transmission the same it would an Automatic. Now, for discussions sake, lets say there was casting material left inside the gearbox of the manual transmissions as well. The exteral "acrid" smell you would...

If i remember, my third gen was about the same. Even on a bone empty tanks saying there was 20 miles left, it would only take about 17-18 gallons of the 21 gallon tank. I think they just leave a healthy reserve in there.
