Kinda hilarious my comment got deleted. All I did was tell the truth. I guess this forum isn’t for me.

I have an SR, which comes with the smaller brakes and 245/70R17 SL tires (30lbs stock). I went to TRD off-road wheels and LT265/70R17 C rated Toyos at first. The tires were 51 lbs (I weighed them - kinda heavy for a 32” C). My mpg dropped from about 20-23 on the highway to about 19-20 at best...

If the injector caused enough trouble to kill the truck, I would expect severe cylinder scoring. Will be interested to see what happens. Good to hear they're covering it.

That tiny little dribble of vapors is nowhere near necessitating a catch can to solve a problem. Install one if you want, but this is hardly any reason to justify “needing” one.

You both realize that he was actually the one that started the thread about the chirp TSB on this forum in February, right? Did either of you actually listen to his video? I did, and I don’t hear a chirp. I hear a whining noise very different from the chirp. So, I have no reason to tell him to...

That, plus shorter intervals to get the diluted fuel out more often. So far it seems like most of the 10k analysis samples from this truck/engine are in bad shape by then.

Don’t know where you came up with that but no, that is not true. First, the word you’re looking for is clearances, not tolerances. Clearances are the tight areas that the oil passes through. Tolerances are how accurately of a degree they can build the clearances to. Second, clearances have...

It is now clear why these were free.

Thanks. I guess now that people are reviving this thread, I should post an update that I don’t even have the wheels in the thread anymore. I got my originals done in bronze powder coat and am running the OEM bronze center caps…with the 34” Toyos from post 7.

They're definitely not the most popular tire, but do have a decent following. I like mine a lot. I considered 35's but figured it would just be too much tire for stock height and would look crammed, etc. The 34's are a bit stiff but overall ride well, are super smooth, look good and are wearing...

The turbo is the pickiest thing on the engine. Nothing else on the engine cares. You need an oil that holds up to the turbo, and generally speaking, turbo manufacturers do not recommend 0W-20 for their turbos. I dunno, if I’m at milder speeds like city, it’s more around 200-215°, on the highway...

My oil temps are usually around 225-230° at sustained highway driving. I find myself uninterested in 0W-20. I’m not going to bother with UOAs to prove anything, I’m just running 5W-40 Euro because I know it cannot hurt. You only need enough film strength to do the job, beyond that, more isn’t...

Thank you

He didn’t say they’re equivalent.

Nice, I wish I could get the access cab with the manual transmission. I love my SR, although by now it’s pretty far from stock. Still mostly all OEM+ stuff though. Enjoy the new truck.

Forgot to plug in the backup light switch. Passenger side.

I went with a 235/80R18 for an even skinnier but same diameter spare as 255/80R17. Using that as my spare for 34x10.50R17. Can barely see the tire hang down and it fit right into place. It is so tight I could not fit any larger of a tire, for sure. The unfortunate part about that option is that...

I'm asking about your wheels (asking if you have stock wheels) since you said yours rub off-road. I don't believe the stock wheels will rub off-road with 285/75R17.

Stock wheels? Wheels make all the difference.

Meh. 9.5” is cool (I have the 8.2” on my SR) but I wish the 4.30s were lower. With 34” tires I barely use 5th and never use 6th. It just boosts constantly. I’m waiting for the 8.2” 5.29s to be available. It does drive pretty dang good in 4th though for the time being and gets good mpg despite...
