Im feeling this righ now. Mine is mediocre as well. I live in Interior Alaska, and its been -25 the last few days. All my previous Tacomas has horrible fan output, but this one is significantly worse. It gets hot enough, but the blower has a super low output on full blast. The cabin filter is...

Ive always used one of these buckets funnels that seal to the radiator cap. Fill the funnel with coolant, pull the plug on the funnel....open the petcock, let it drain while keeping the funnel topped off, and from emptying completely. You do an air free exchange of old/new fluid in the radiator...

He does exactly this on minute 49:40

He did once recently where it was a full series on changing all the fluids on your toyota. It was somewhere in the middle of the episode. Came out 6 days ago or so

The youtube channel "the carcare nut" does only toyotas, and has videos on the same transmissions in other vehicles, which are the same procedures.

Its a massive, massive file dump. I paid factorymanuals.net something like $59 for every available piece of documentation for the 4th gen that exists from toyota. Stuff i'll never use. Its pretty cheap.

It has a very solid "ceiling" to the projector light where it goes straight black. 3 or 4 is a tad bit too low. Theyre just an ultra concentrated beam.

No. As i mentioned, its a solid tube. The instructions will tell you how to do it. As noted in the beginning of the thread, toyota US doesnt sell it. Not sure if they changed their mind since last year, but i ordered it from a canadian dealership to the US. I dont remember which one. It was a...

Both gens do heat the coolant. The casting tube it slides into protrudes into the coolant passage. Picture a metal "finger" cast into the coolant passage, of which you slide the heater like a finger into a glove. I did not route it like the instructions. The instructions cut into the bumper. I...

Anyone else getting obsessively flashed by oncoming vehicles because they think you have your highbeams on due to the ultra bright projector headlights? I've lowered the lights a few notches to try to mitigate it, but 1 out of 5 cars still highbeam me upon passing eachother. Winters are dark...

Yep. Ive been doing random of tests with the new tires and anyone i know whos in the car with gps's of any kind, be it phone or garmin etc. the speeds are spot on with the TRD size tires compared to every unit. I feel like i lost a good portion of my warranty mileage with the sr5 tires. Which...

Thats the plan eventually. Unfortunately theres only one dealer in interior Alaska, and they are retards. Im hesitant to bring it to them for the brake hose warranty, as theyve screwed up simple repairs before. Many times on new vehicles, similar issues will pop up on multiple vehicles. Im...

2024 SR5. Anyone else develop a steering wheel squeak when its cold outside? Clears up after the cab warms and its been turned a few streets.

2024 SR5. 25,000 miles. The last few days the steering wheel has developed an internal creaking or squeaking when going from a slow left turn, back to center. Only does it when its cold for the first few turns, then disappears. Sounds like its coming from the steering wheel itself, where it...

Ive been blown away at this trucks towing, with its ultra low power peaking at something like 1700 rpms, if i remember. I've towed a couple thousand pound loads up hills without the transmission downshifting, while holding 1/4 or so throttle. My third gen tacoma would have to downshift, with...

It looks like he's referring to one drain and fill per single fluid change, as opposed to three in a row at the same time. Some people will drain and flush three times in a row in one sitting, to get the fluid a light color. Not one fluid change per lifetime.

There could be nominal differences in those tires outside of that calculator. Maybe take into account the tread wear on the original tires verse a new tires could be slightly bigger from minor variations from manufacturers. Maybe that can make the spread larger outside of the calculator. Also...

When i did my distance check using gps, 13 actual miles on the gps ended up registering just about 15 miles on my odometer. That would make it roughly 3000 miles off of the 20,000 miles. After the tire change, it was almost spot on by +\- a tenth of a mile. Lol thats quite a bit if thats correct.

Thats precisely what i think is going on. They calibrated for all the TRD models, for manufacturing simplicity. If so, then they should be on the hook for warranty miles, since this is from the factory. They cant control what someone does with tire size after they purchase the truck, but from...

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...
