    Trailer detected glitch?

    Mine works as normal. I shouldve given it more time before i wrote this post. After you disconnect it just prompts you again once it realizes its not there.

    Magnefine Transmission filter

    I wouldnt mess around with that on a modern vehicle. That would surely void a warranty, almost guaranteed. Also, the debris left behind in the trans' was sand from the castings, not metal particles. This would be something that could potentially be used on an old 80's or 90's vehicle, even...

    Thoughts on no engine cover and exposed wires, etc.

    You literally overthought all of this. Every engine for the last couple decades has wire loom/tape. The cover is entirely cosmetic and theres little to no point to its existence. Its probably better for the engine in terms of heat removal. Probably the worst thing you could do to your engine...

    TSB: Hybrid Tacoma Now Included in Transmission Failure Issues & Replacement (October 2024)

    One thought about the smell..for the first few thousand miles, my Tacoma had a very sharp and peculiar smell i could not pinpoint. I believe it was either something in the Catalyst being burned off or some new coating on either the exhaust or engine that has slowly faded off. I initially it was...

    TSB: Hybrid Tacoma Now Included in Transmission Failure Issues & Replacement (October 2024)

    The transmission is entirely different, and the sand castings wouldnt affect a manual transmission the same it would an Automatic. Now, for discussions sake, lets say there was casting material left inside the gearbox of the manual transmissions as well. The exteral "acrid" smell you would...

    Low Fuel Warning - 4 gallons left?

    If i remember, my third gen was about the same. Even on a bone empty tanks saying there was 20 miles left, it would only take about 17-18 gallons of the 21 gallon tank. I think they just leave a healthy reserve in there.

    My favorite 4th gen Tacoma upgrades over the 3rd gen

    Rear suspension and brakes are one of the biggest improvements. Tacomas always had the worst rear end. You forgot to mention the incredible engine/trans combo, that tows like an 8 cyl, and has pretty wild low end torque. I still cant believe how well this thing tows.

    Thoughts on the 2024 Tacoma after 17,000km

    Ive had every gen Tacoma brand new from the factory. Drove the 3rd gen for 8 years. It seemed outdated because it was. They hadnt changed the chassis since 2005. I didnt realize how shitty it was until i got the 4th gen. 2nd and 4th gens are the best. The 2ng gens were great for the time period...

    Possible Engine Failure in 2024 Tacoma TRD Sport

    Very interesting. You really never hear of Injectors failing. Thanks for letting everyone know. Would you happen to have the write up receipt with the information with Codes? Maybe you can block out all your personal information for privacy, if that matters. If not, no problem :)

    BROKE MY TRUCK (ADD? Same issue as TFL?)

    If i remember... i saw a video where the "lead engineer" guy, whos in all the youtube videos, stated that the TFL break was a Software issue, which im finding a bit hard to imagine. He stated there is a sacrificial shear point in there, and they were working on a new algorithm or something, so...

    Possible Engine Failure in 2024 Tacoma TRD Sport

    It sure means a whole lot. Its actually huge. Its an indication of the type of folks they may have working there. If someone made that type of misdiagnosis, you wouldnt want them to be the actual person installing a whole engine, as they could possibly blunder that through inexperience...

    Possible Engine Failure in 2024 Tacoma TRD Sport

    Im interested in the outcome of this, on how it went from engine to injector, and what was your end result? Ive been a mechanic for something like 25 years now, on heavy equipment, so these things pique my interest..... It sounds to me like you may have gotten an inexperienced mechanic who...

    Tail Gate Assist (SR5) ?

    It shows you in the picture here.... It looks like two ball joints held on with clips, just like topper rear hatch struts. The only question is if the non-equipped tailgates and body panels have the ball equipped from the factory. Probably should pop the light off and check first
