NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I just want to send out a quick thank you to Mike (BoatRacer) and Jose (Aztek) for helping me out today. I finally got my 4.10s installed.

 

Does it drive a bit easier now with more gearing?

 

Glad to help, was great meeting you guys too. Enjoy the truck.

 

Ill see you Sunday. I have a few things to do. One minor, one medium. And then andrew has a few things too. Not sure who else has work to get done?

 

Great, see you tomorrow!

 

I finally recalculated my UltraGauge this morning. So far I have driven about 15 miles and the MPG has increased. I definitely feel an increase in torque but the speedo gauge is still off in the truck. I was under the impression the gears were supposed to fix that?

Before the gears my gauge cluster would say 60 and my UG would say I was really going 70. I haven't gone that speed since I recalculated it but it seemed like my gauge cluster said I was going 60 and I was really going about 65.

Thanks, I will!

 

I thought there was a separate gear that needed to be changed out to correct the speedo? I'll look it up later

 

Nevermind. Its like 200 bucks for the programming. Better off running a gps all the time

 

Well I was under the impression that the 285/75R16 made your speedo read slower than OEM but the 4.10 gears make it read faster then OEM so it would even it out and make your gauge cluster read correct.

Am I wrong?

It's no biggie either way since I have the UG but I guess I assumed wrong.

Edit: OH! And incase anyone is ever interstsed in doing the ECGS clamshell swap there is an important step that was not discussed anywhere that we could find. There is a small gear in the OEM housing that neds to be popped out of and put back into the new housing from ECGS. We should have taken a picture of it while we had it out but we were too frusted to think about it. It was a PITA to get out but in the end Mike just used a screw driver on each side and LOTS of pressure to pop it out of place.

 

Hey Guys,

I have ran into a little issue installing my new stereo… I ordered the JL audio stealth box for the 2012 and up. Turns out somehow my '14 has the wrong shaped storage bin.

Would any of you have one the looks like the picture below laying around that you would be willing to sell? I would also be will to swap bins with someone with some cash on top for your trouble. Thank you in advance guys.

This is what I need (it has the side curved vs straight:


This is the bin I have to trade (brand new on my '14 with 7k):

you can see how the sub doesn't fit right...

 

What RPMs are you turning at 70 mph? Please let us know! And tire size

 

I'll check mine when I get off work but what area of WA are you in? Mine is probably not as good of condition as you'd want anyways.

I'll let you guys know when I get home.

 

At this point it doesn't have to be perfect, I live near Bellevue.

 

I'll check my bin in a sec, 2014 DCSB, 1300k.
Edit: like this, only used mine to put a hoodie in it


But I'm in yakima, wonder why the different bin in yours?

 

I would be willing to drive out there... Pm me if you are willing swap! You would save me so much head ache. Lmk

 

Where you out of? I gotta meet on snoqualmie pass tomorrow, so that could work... I don't think there's any dif between 2014 sport auto and OR manual...

 

The only difference is the shape of the tray... I have no idea why toyota did this. Snoqualmie pass would be perfect, it's only about 40 minutes away for me. It only takes 10 mins to pull if that. What time are you meeting up there?

 

Hey Mike did I leave my Lug nut socket at your place?

 

I'm not sure yet... Will let you know.

 

I have 285/75R16 Pro Comp Xtreme All Terrain tires.

These are Estimations because I could not look at the GC and UG at the exact same time:
Guage Cluster = Ultra Guage
MPH / RPM

60 / 2100 = 70 / 2118
70 / 2500 = 81 / 2537
