Finally!! Good luck and let us know when you are finally working.

Spent an hour leaving the Pocono Nascar race Sunday in bumper to bumper traffic. Basically idling the entire time and it was 91° and near 100% humidity. Took a bit to cool the cab, but worked great. The entire 3 hour ride home it was between 88° and 95° and blower was on low and keeping cab at...

That elbow and TB are all post turbo. CAI kits only do pre-turbo that I am aware of.

It is always possible.

My truck was recently at a body shop for a couple of weeks. It was started and moved only 3 times during that time and I looked in on the app a couple times per day to see windows open, hood open and which doors were. Battery never died. I did not check battery voltage, so it could have been...

Here is a chart for AGM batteries. I am shocked at problems since Toyota has been using AGM batteries for hybrids for a long time. Regular battery charging can break AGM batteries. Regular batteries need 15-17 volts to get the same amps. However, voltage greater than 15 volts can overheat...

Could be different in Canada. AGM in my 24. I believe this is the Toyota battery for hybrid.

You battery is an AGM. Charge should be 12.7 minimum at rest which is approx 12 hours since last charged. Typically 12.4 VDC or lower and it should be considered for replacement. If it is at 12.0, then it probably was at one point heavily discharged and damaged. I recommend having dealer test...

2005 Dodge Ram Hemi Sport.

Wow, there is definitely a problem there. Sounds like there is a blown fuse or the DC to DC convertor has failed completely.

Alternator will not solve the problem of a dead battery on a hybrid. The hybrid already has a far more advanced charging system. There may be some odd cases off-roading with all kinds of lights on, stereo on, heater fan running, defroster on all while you are at crawling slow speed drawing the...

8.2 MPG is shocking. You must be getting around 100 miles on a tank? I am getting an average around 22 MPG. I am getting around 320 miles per tank.

Thanks for the update. Keep an eye on it and check the voltage. Good time to check is after it has sat overnight and before it is started and allow to charge. Good to let a AGM sit for about 12 hours. Rule of thumb is if it is below 12.7 volts DC at rest, it is on it's way out. You can google...

My Sport Hybrid has been in the body shop now for 3 weeks. It is still reporting doors, windows and hood open. I am picking it up tomorrow (I hope) and I know it has not moved except from main shop floor to the paint room which is about 100 feet. I am assuming the battery is good as I am not...

Uhm, wow. That is really dead!!!! Your truck has an AGM battery and should be replaced and not charged. AGM batteries degrade rapidly below 12.3 VDC. Dealer should replace and something is really wrong to discharge like that in 2 weeks. Please keep me informed on what is found.

In a simple description, the Vehicle Control Unit: basically one of the computers that monitors the many items including the security and sends communication to enable the "ECU" Engine Control Unit once it see a secure signal from a key fob or other device. There are many computers/modules that...

Can use at any dealer. Look up Toyota Care on the Toyota website.

Engine immobilizer is built into the VCU? Without your key fob, credit card thing or a paired and connected mobile device the truck will not start. Unless Canada does not allow the factory immobilizer?

Wow, that's a lot of bird shit! Damn that sucks! About a month ago I had a suicide Bambi run into the side of my truck. Then proceeded to go under the wheels on truck and luckily for Bambi I was towing a trailer so she got the full experience. I cannot believe shit did not get torn up...

The "Towing Tech Package" will include the full camera system for $850 as long as you have optioned in the Premium package. When I bought my TRD Sport premium, the trailer camera package was an option that was $1550. Looks like it is still showing as an available option for $1550 on the lower...
