Just to let everyone know, the Maverick also has problems. Just look at the NHTSA site. Attention moderator: is trolling permitted? Asking for a friend… Also, Insuggest that anyone considering a ford maverick look at the ford website, since this troll is misrepresenting what ford offers as...

Wow… I sold an 86 Toyota truck with more miles than the space shuttle.. too many customers kept asking for it. I have 1995 Toyota truck, 2007 Toyota truck, 2012 Toyota Tacoma, 2015 Tacoma, 2020 Tacoma, and 2018 Corolla hatch with 410k miles, and 2021 Corolla, 2023 Corolla, and a 2023...

I may have to! In Kalifornia, there is a limited choice of “safe” pistols to purchase. The state has a roster of approved pistols that are certified as “safe” these generally have the magazine disconnect= no firing if no magazine is in the firearm, a chamber indicator, to warn of the firearm...

Will that lock box fit a full sized/govt length 1911?

Unless someone is able to prove that the ECU has timing “float” for ignition, then there is a chance that higher octane can produce better power and possible mileage based upon the ecu’s ability to midly increase “float” ignition timing to detect if continued spark advance is acceptable due to...

Aftermarket transmission rebuilders also require a radiator replacement if the cooler is part of the radiator

I drive in eco mode, manual control of the automatic transmission-used to it from driving two prior 2.7 liter 3g Tacoma trucks I haven’t made any wide open throttle passes yet.m, as I am concerned of a potential torque converter issue. Made in 07/24. Shifting has been smooth on both manual mode...

Audi was flagging TD1 for many modded supercharged v6 engines due to the torque log reporting above stock power output. I would be curious if Toyota’s ecu, I think made by Denso, does the same…

So far, no problems.. but I only have 1500 miles in it.

I gotta stay until my business loan is paid off. After that, California will be a drive or a flight away. Just my opinion-

I don’t know if Kalifornia gets upset if they see software reflashing upon a smog test. Reflash to a stock setting… hypothetically, what if someone with an aftermarket tune, were to switch back to stock before a test and the service writing software from the independent repair shop contends the...

Yup, OBD II vehicles self test, but if the software isn’t stock, all kinds of unique mods can be created, deleting downstream oxygen sensor reading, or turning off knock sensors with an aggressive tune/spark advance/increased boost…California looks for specific code that is within the OE...

Get a piece of heater hose and use it like a stethoscope. With the engine idling, Place it next to the HPFP and verify the chirping noise emanates from the HPFP. If not, move around the engine compartment to hunt down the noise. If noise seem to be from the front of the engine. Shut off engine...

I had the overland exhaust outlet shipped to me, allowing both a single exhaust outlet/tip, and having the overland pipe for driving off the beaten path

If the torque converter is failing, it is likely failing under hard acceleration/most stressed It is supposed to be designed to accept the power output of the engine. I recently purchased an OR model. I am driving it mellow until a fix is known, to reduce the risk of damage in my opinion. I...

I wonder if Toyota has torque data logged… it might help them figure this out. When the Audi S5 changed from a naturally aspirated V8 with a Bosch MED based ECU, to a supercharged V6 with a Siemens ECU, some S5 owners would change the diameter of the supercharger pulley and flash the software...

Debris is likely from a failed component… which will circulate until it drops into the pan and at that point, it remains there. The concern I have is that the debris can damage planetary gears and possibly imbed in friction plates….. or hide in the valve body to be released later and damage...

Careful, it sounds like an Acura integra from the late 90s with a fart pipe. I have it… the exhaust kits are the same from Magnaflow except different tips and the overland/off-roading pipe option. I had my exhaust installed 9 days ago-magnaflow. I may consider the AWE kit

I have AWE exhaust on my V8 Audi S5- AWE exhaust is simply divine on that engine. I couldn’t wait for AWE, and I purchased a magnaflow kit for my Tacoma… instant regret….sounds like a Acura integra with a fart pipe.

I have taken a road trip from NorCal to AZ, and over the 1000 miles of driving, the Tacoma software has lost it’s connection twice… then when driving my mother, the vehicle starts asking us to repeat our request.. we made no requests…hopefully the software is updated to address this issue. I...
