I have greenlane with the kickout, and I'm very happy with them.

Could be the driveway, but could also be a parts failure. See attached MONITOR DESCRIPTION When pressure pulsation caused by purge VSV operation in the boost range is less than the threshold value, it is determined that a high load purge line malfunction has occurred and a DTC is stored.

Bug removers are alkaline and much more effective on bugs than a pH-neutral soap, and a $5-$10 can from any parts store will probably last a year.

Any specialized bug-and-tar spray should work well. I have a can of mothers tar and Bug remover, worthless for tree sap, but it works great on bugs as a pre wash step, they blast right off with the pressure washer. The ceramic coat makes it a lot easier, but avoid scrubbing with a sponge to get...

I have 11k on a 24 OR 6spd, range after fill up is ~310 miles. I have the bank's IDASH that offers fuel tank level in %, and the maximum tank level is always 93% when full. A week ago, I ran it down to 3 range miles, the idash read ~4% , and the tank took 15.8 to fill up. Average combined mpg is...

Agreed, the Turtle Wax graphene spray wax is great if you want to keep it simple. That said, the adams advanced graphene coating is on another level. I used to detail cars when these coatings came out, and It's amzing how far they've come with their ease of application, and how well they...

It's your truck, so do as you like, but I'll share my approach. I'm on a 5w-20 restore and protect every 3 months schedule because I plan to put 200k on the truck and live in a warmer climate. I use the amsoil filter (99% rated at 20 microns) and change it every other oil change. It's a...

oiled, interestingly, filter efficiency goes UP as it gets dirtier

They're great, but not a layer that will prevent all wash marring, it still needs care and upkeep, so keep expectations in line. I would not expect them to last 10 years under normal daily driving conditions. If you're DIY capable, you can coat with something like Adams Poslishes graphene...

Thanks for posting. I was thinking of a similar reel install. What mounting bracket did you use specifically?

I have an ARB dual burshless under the hood using the zroadz install kit. It's directly wired to the battery for primary power, and I used an aftermarket square OEM Toyota-style switch. A jumper from TacomaBob to power the backlight for the switch and to avoid tapping into factory wiring.

I've found the SPV parts to be great solutions. I used a headlight jumper to power the backlight on DD 3" lights in the fang location, and the rear lights in the ARB bumper. When I got the kit, I had to think through the install, but the kits themselves are plug-and-play. I did have to bend a...

One interesting thing I've learned recently from motoroilgeek and his network, is that filters actually improve as they age. ie dirt attracts dirt.

Same boat as you with longevity, and why I didn't go with the tune. TRD Does have an intake, but the ID of the pipe is larger and it's outside the calibration window for trims that are not TH and PRO models. Had a friend with an FD, and those are something special, never give that up. Subi...

Edit - fixed one line for you- My fleet at the moment includes a 2003 Evo, 2007 STi, and a 1995 FD RX7, which I will never under any circumstance sell, so help me god. I actually have a TRD intake, and it's incompatible with the MAF parameters of the truck without a tune. I'm not committed to...

Awesome, is the radiator compatible with the 6MT? I see this for the hose kit. Note Not compatible with manual transmission models Sadface

Ah man, that's horrible. Hopefully they didn't f&%k it up too badly.

Personally, I DIY whenever possible simply because I plan to keep the truck for 200k/20 years and enjoy turning wrenches. Totally understandable if folks don't have the time, space, or skills to DIY, but with the tech shortage, I feel it's going to be an increasingly valuable skill. Also, when...

You're going to need a bi-directional scan tool to perform many maintenance procedures, including this one. I have an Xtool D8W that has this functionality and would recommend Xtool.

Here it is.
