Mine demanded a more suitable setting than just a desk.

They're supposed to reset it if the fluid gets changed. So I suppose if you went in and had the transmission serviced at the dealer they would do this. I can't imagine they would ever bother checking it unless there was an issue. Toyota does a lot of interesting things in warranty and out of...

The on board computer tracks a function called ATF thermal degradation. I do not know how to access the value or reset the value without using TechStream. It's an oil life monitor for the ATF. If it reaches a value of 50,000, the fluid is due for a change. I do not have techstream. This is...

Same for me. Surprising how quickly 4HI roasts the transmission temps. The moment the temp hits 220F, the dash gauge moves up, and it moves up quickly from 220F to 250F. And it stays hot for a long time. Even switching to 4LO, which helps some, kept the fluid temp fairly high for a long time...

Appears they no longer have Toyota manuals available on the website. I suspect I know why. But unfortunate.

I don't want to throw salt on your wounds. But lately I've been making a serious point to NEVER ignoring that feeling of "off." A few serious near misses happened to me in the past few years where, if luck hadn't been on my side, I would be dead. I got to thinking about them and every one was...

It's the wrong part, made for older engines. The D1 is for the older V6 engines. It's the wrong part and does not meet the spec. It's not a cross compatible filter. Sometimes filters have different thread lengths, different diameter mating surfaces where the gasket and the flange meet, so you...

That mystery connector isn't anything. It's the dust cap cover for your powered connector. It should remain attached to the wiring harness running down.

So on my 2024 TRD OR, the plug is there tucked up behind the rear quarter panel. Pulled off the connector, set truck to ACC mode (lights on, but not running). It's a 4 plug connector. It has 12v power on two of the pins so the wiring is already there instead of running a cable to the back of the...

It's not the best option, but a $35 sceptre 20L tank from Canadian Tire mounted to the bed rails is hard to beat if you truly need the range. Don't think they sell them in the USA, but they are a damn fine gas can if you can find them. That's another 90 miles of range per can. Simple, easy, and...

Most of the current 4g tacoma colors are pure ass, but that red is really nice.

Speaker install or not, it's a good video on how-to door panel removal. Might as well throw some noise reducing insulation on those panels when you got the plastic off to help reduce road noise further.

Agree. And the first step when a vehicle goes into limp mode during normal operation (e.g. mapped actual dirt road open to all traffic), should be to report this as a vehicle safety defect to NHTSA. This may be considered a "loss of motive power" which is very serious. When you have the engine...

I paid $1217 for mine. Shipping to Missouri was $322. I had to pick it up at a terminal. The boxes are just over 6' long. When you do a terminal pickup, it's kind of mickey mouse. Have plenty of straps to secure your load, and be a good spotter for the forklift guy. He or she can raise them up...

How did you arrive at the length of the antenna? You generally want a multiple of the frequency. Like 1/2, 1/4, 5/8etc. To calculate resonant frequency, you take 468/f and that gives you the frequency that a wire length of x is resonant on. So a 7' antenna would resonate at 66.5Mhz, which is...

$15, 10 minutes and no guessing is the way to do it. Video on how to do if you're unsure: First time on the scales? How to use cat scales to accurately weigh your tow rig and trailer

Not only master technicians, but also code talkers, night stalkers, and five finger death punch masters. They can discern the shoe size, direction, and weight of any rodent larger than a flea. Incredible talent.

Easy to do. I took as many precautions as I could but these things are soft as clarified butter. Scratched it with a delicate microfiber wipe. Then foolishly got some sort of incompatible interior cleaner on it and it fogged slightly. Here's what I used: Amazon.com: Meguiar's PlastX Clear...

Clean it off, hit it with a very judicious, almost homepathic, spray of "rust reformer" then top it with CRC corrosion protector, woolwax, surface shield blaster or fluid film.

Depending on where you go, it might also be illegal. Some states require trailer brakes over 1000lbs, some 2000lbs. Cheap insurance to get a controller, especially if you get some sway. When the trailer is sideways, you'll kick yourself for not springing a few hundred for even a wireless controller.
