  1. First Blackstone Engine Oil Analysis - Seems Normal (2024 Tacoma 2.4L I-4 Turbo T24A-FTS)

    Yes, but only if you sell to a tribologist… sorry, bad joke- but I had to do it
  2. First Blackstone Engine Oil Analysis - Seems Normal (2024 Tacoma 2.4L I-4 Turbo T24A-FTS)

    I do not know what the factory oil brand is, perhaps eneos… but Toyota dealership oil has all of the indications that Mobil 1 makes it… the bottle design and location is a strong indicator of it. Perhaps a second oil change with oil test would prove my theory correct… different oils, based upon...
  3. First Blackstone Engine Oil Analysis - Seems Normal (2024 Tacoma 2.4L I-4 Turbo T24A-FTS)

    I wonder if the molybdenum was From break-in lube which is sometimes Used on valve train on new engines… I will send in a sample, just need to get to my first oil change interval-should be soon.
  4. Got To Test The 24’ Tacoma w/ iForce Max Powertrain!

    From what I noticed on my dashboard, no boost in first gear or second gear when on a steep hill. This is Toyota’s choice. My old Buick Grand National would boost each gear. This is likely a choice Toyota made to limit force on the drivetrain. Since the turbo is a twin scroll design, it should be...
  5. I don’t understand the hype

    Op, I have found that tilting the fuel dispensing handle more upright after fuel shutoff and depressing the lever can yield another 1.25 gallons after “automatic” fuel dispensing shutoff. Others on this forum have mentioned the fuel dispenser shutoff frustration. In my opinion, this is my only...
  6. Speculation on future performance upgrades?

    Your question prompted me to research.. I assume much by looking at the Tundra V6 turbo Berger option, but it is what I think is similar enough. The tundra peeps like what they have, one guy sold his-selling his truck. Another person gave the same warning that I was concerned about… warranty...
  7. Speculation on future performance upgrades?

    Also this aftermarket air cleaner with a cone filter was utilized in conjunction with the Berger mods… just pointing this out, no judgement- https://hpsperformanceproducts.com/products/hps-performance-cold-air-intake-kit-2024-toyota-tacoma-pickup-2-4l-turbo-taco-827-779
  8. Speculation on future performance upgrades?

    Looks like this Berger JB4 tuner is getting closer to being released…. Wonder if they are using ms109 fuel to get the extreme horsepower increase? https://burgertuning.com/products/jb4-for-toyota-tacoma-turbo?srsltid=AfmBOoqApJ-4mLe4nnnn5jB4dh_ERoyaJIPqoGvJF56J7K8G4eUvJRii&variant=45712792682670
  9. Transmission temp while climbing in 4H

    You are not alone in this observation. I will be installing a transmission oil cooler with a fan attached to it, on the return side of the OE trans heat sink…Plenty of room to mount this underneath the truck. Fan can be switch actuated from the dash, or by a fan temp switch. great photos and...
  10. System Malfunction after Lift

    Call the dealer and ask them if they have ADAS equipment… if the service writer is unaware of the term “ADAS” then ask for the shop Forman, bypass the middle man. There can be many errors with the sensors before they even provide the warning in the screen. After any suspension upgrades, I would...
  11. Cold Air Intake CAI System?

    From my experience with oiled cone air filters-the mass air flow sensor may need to be cleaned with a circuit board friendly/mass air flow sensor cleaner. Sometimes the oil that coats the cotton air filtration media can transfer and coat the mass air flow sensor, and could potentially prevent...
  12. What is this and how do I nuke it? "Enter 6-digit PIN"

    I cut and pasted from the link above: if you don't remember your PIN, you can reset it using the Toyota app (hopefully the salesman walked you through setting that up when you purchased the car). This is for an iPhone, but I'm sure it's similar if you have the app on an Android: 1) Once in...
  13. 2024 Toyota Tacoma engine noise reduction with premium fuel

    Since 5w30 synthetic is recommended for the same engine for warm weather for the European market… I would say that Toyota would have a difficult time punishing you for trying to use a more robust oil for hot climates. Thinner oils are more thermally conductive yet fail at a lower temperature.
  14. Rear shaking on 2024 TRD Off-Road Tacoma

    I have an OR Tacoma. No shake… would the dealership consider sitting in your truck while you took them out for a road test, to show the problem to them? Sorry you are having this issue.. if you can get your hands on a hand held laser temperature tool… you might be able to get tire temp readings...
  15. I am giving up on waiting for my Tacoma.

    The lady doth protest too much
  16. I am giving up on waiting for my Tacoma.

    Neither is ford making the maverick he claims that he ordered. That is what makes this thread so entertaining. I sincerely doubt he even placed the order, otherwise he would have seen the same issue I noticed: 2.0 turbocharged gas engine/8 speed auto with AWD or “advanced 4WD” Or 2.5 naturally...
  17. I am giving up on waiting for my Tacoma.

    Predicted reliability, wow.. which engine option did you get? Did you research how neither does the maverick… 2.0 turbo with AWD. Or “advanced 4WD” eight speed automatic trans or a 2.5 hybrid with a front wheel drive cvt trans. I added a screen shot from the ford website for transparency. I dot...
  18. I am giving up on waiting for my Tacoma.

    Because the Tesla struggles with battery health in cold Minnesota weather, lol.
  19. I am giving up on waiting for my Tacoma.

    Problem is that the OP is essentially advising 4g Tacoma purchasers that their vehicles are “plagued” with problems. So, yeah.. it helps to advise them of the NHTSA site that seems to show that the maverick also has some issues, but don’t let facts get in the way of insulting people on this forum.
  20. I am giving up on waiting for my Tacoma.

    OP is too busy validating their order in a front wheel drive car with a bed-hybrid option Or the 2.0 turbocharged awd, or upgrade to a 4WD.
