Nice!! I have a rifle dynamics RD103/ak47-bulgarian receiver.. I was considering the new aftermarket software flash for the Tacoma, but I thought I should wait until it is Kalifornia legal, so I have an AR10 from Daniel defense on order instead

Sorry, “California Dept of Justice” legal, not federal..

California law makers passed an assembly Bill into law to create a “roster” of approved locking devices for firearms, but I believe if someone owns something before the law is enacted, then it has no legal bearing for the locking devices… I know, it’s crazy

I can say that Volkswagen Audi group/dealers plugs into the ECU during an oil change…. And they could flag a “TD1” code for a modified engine/software.. even on a stock software flash, the Siemens ECU would record torque output, and even if the software was flashed back to stock, the torque log...

That is a great question. Since the ecu already plays with timing, based upon the fuel quality, then the software “could” float even more spark advance, if it has parameters setup to do so.. meaning that the truck may max out it’s maximum ignition advance with premium unleaded fuel and not...

You are absolutely correct! When I drive rental cars, I am amazed of what’s possible with mileage- when it comes to owning a vehicle that has great utilitarian ability- that would not be a Prius… then trade offs are not only expected, but … there is a reason why Toyota has not released a Prius...

When I drive from Petaluma, Ca to Green Valley, Az… highway travel only- if I don’t push over 65, I can get average of 26 mpg… this depends upon wind conditions as well, I can get much higher mileage if I draft a tractor trailer… city driving, the truck does suffer. Pushing 70mph+, truck mileage...

Yikes!!!

So your theory is a better sell, if the driver side wheel studs have left hand thread. Loose wheel nuts will allow the run to chafe material away from the wheel studs like a beaver chewing through a tree. I have seen it many times. Also advised to lubricate wheel stud threads to prevent false...

I hope you still have your stock exhaust and you May have to wait for the correct exhaust pieces.

I have the magnaflow exhaust on my non hybrid and it has been perfect, so far..

It will be loud, and I haven’t crawled under my Taco for a couple of months, but the only risk could be the exhaust temp being exposed to Something under the truck that may cause damage for long term exposure.. can you elaborate about your AWE came With two non hybrid parts? Did you order a...

Fair enough, my concern is more about the service writer, and wondering if there truly is a software update. Enjoy your truck!!

@Adam is it possible for you to return to the same office road location and drive the same trail to verify that the software and hardware upgrades did in fact resolve the potential issue?

The software makes calculations based upon what it is interpreting, those driving more city vs hwy, or the throttle discipline…etc.

Good news, I just verified- the clutch slave cylinder is mounted to the outside of the bell housing on the driver’s side, so not a PITA to bleed the clutch hydraulics.

Brake fluid is recommend to be replaced every two years whether the vehicle is driven or not, therefore… not a problem for someone that maintains their vehicles. Dot 4 low viscosity is designed to operate on colder climates: If the Clutch hydraulic system is proven to be a problem in extreme...

Brake fluid: Dot 4 LV is “low viscosity” is designed to work better for ABS servo assemblies in cold weather. You could bleed out the dot 3 brake fluid and try this dot 4lv fluid. It is 100% miscible with dot 3 brake fluid and therefore safe to use in your clutch hydraulic system...

The airlift # 57386 is listed on the airlift website for the 4th gen Tacoma with rear coil springs… airlift may have a leaf spring option coming soon. An email or phone call to airlift may clarify what can and cannot work with each spring option-coil or leaf

Another option, they all have trade offs, is an air lift suspension kit- the bad news is that air will always be needed to fill these even when not being utilized… just a little air, so the bags don’t get ruined. But the benefit of the air bags, is that they increase spring rate of your coil...
