You sure the transmission was slipping? It's well known some of these trucks, more so on the hybrid, that the engine lugs a little bit at low rpms (roughly under 1500 rpms). It will feel like a vibration, torque converter shudder, or running over some rumble strips. I also had an issue with...
If you have a full-time 4wd Taco it's got the center torsen style LSD. Works wonders in rain and snow. I literally cannot detect any slipping wheels at any speed in rain. Feels like a tank, sure-footed, safe.
This is a huge upgrade for those of us who've had the hard shifting since day one. The day i picked up my limited hybrid, it slammed from 1st gear into 2nd and 3rd while I pulled out of the driveway of the dealership. With the custom CAMTuning calibration, I can't really tell it's there...
Respectfully disagree with your assessment about the JB4 vs a cobb tuner. But thats okay too it you like it. I prefer simplicity and reliability. Less parts to go wrong especially when you're adding power through boost. I'd rather the cpu not be fooled into increasing boost and fuel.
There are 6 toyota dealerships within 50 miles of where i live. Discounts are huge right now. Competition is really stiff so every dealerships is working hard to sell their vehicles especially trucks. Massive discounts on Tundra and Tacomas. I recently saw 1794 tundras selling for 10k off...
To be fair, you didn't put them in your truck. you put them outside of the cabin in the bed under a tonneau cover. sometimes if I stand at the tailgate with the fob in my pocket, my wife cannot unlock the truck doors. I would have to step closer to the side of the cab to unlock.
Let's all be clear on this. Dealerships are not owned by Toyota. they are merely there to distribute and sell Toyotas as well as perform services they are obligated to do according to their agreement with Toyota corporate. Their technicians must be trained and pass certification but that is...
I can attest to this as well. I've left my truck on and used the inverter to cook up some hamburgers on a george foreman and an air fryer for about 2 hours.
This product is the equivalent of a potentiometer connected inline to the throttle signal. turn the dial up to make it act like it's putting out a higher throttle input than what you're actually applying to make it open the throttle more, not faster.
When i'm talking about all trucks, i'm talking about the 4th gen tacoma and all the 4x4 trims available. Even in 4hi you will see ATRAC work as demonstrated by TFL albeit not as aggressive. It's no longer just 4LO.
ATRAC comes on all the trucks. standard 4hi and 4lo will traverse everything MTS can. It's not a huge a difference in my opinion. I had a GX460 that I added an actual MTS and Crawl CPU to get it to work. That truck also has ATRAC standard. Couldn't tell the difference because both systems...
ECO changes the throttle opening during acceleration. Opens less than normal mode. HVAC doesn't go full blast cooling, which I honestly can't tell the difference other than the Hybrid battery staying charged more in stop and go traffic.
The transmission was covered because of a known defect; that's on toyota. rock debris striking the condenser is not considered warranty work. Just like windshield cracks from rock debris you pay your insurance deductible to have it replaced so to me your issue sounds more like an insurance claim.
I've driven with it off and on here and there depending if i'm doing long hwy trips in lots of head wind. I get +2MPG with it on in those conditions. I'm looking for one myself so I can trim it down about 2 inches. I'm a fan of that chin spoiler in that it is functional without being too over...
