What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yeah, they were able to take care of it no problem. There is a pump at most autoparts stores, and I just used a hose clamp to hold the tubing to the pump when I had to change the fluid on my old muscle car and didn't have the access for anything else. That might work and it was only like $10.

 

Nice looking truck!

How's the ride quality and the noise with the ko2s? Any more different on highway than stock?

 

Thanks buddy

 

Caliraisedled Bar came in the mail today! Will be installing tomorrow afternoon!

 

Love my Caliraised LED bar since it fits perfectly!

But it took me way to long to install though, so here's some advice to maybe hep you out. Once you have the grill removed and the transmission cooler loose I would attach the brackets very loosely to the LED bar before trying to slide it in place. Bring the bar in from the left side to the right and take your time. I went by the instructions but when you go to mount the bar on the mounts it was very difficult for me to get the screws into the LED bar. Can't guarantee this will work but it's worth a try. Also if you are adding extra plastic housing to protect the wiring do it before you put it in the grill. Good Luck

 

Mine also did it pretty steady at 80+mph. Noise is gone and it's a lot quieter as well.

 

Hopefully this isn't answered in this thread and I just missed it...
Has anyone done a leveling kit on their 16 yet?

 

I don't have a delay but it seems to surge in reverse not sure if it's idle or reverse gear. Interested to know if your problems are remedied.

 

the dealership had mine for 2 days so they could make sure it was good and my transmission doesn't feel any different.

 

discovered my radio rebooting itself every 5 minutes after driving hour and a half with no issues on it. gonna add that to my list during my first service Monday.

 

First. I wouldn't just add a quart. Overfilling a transmission will cause the fluid to foam up at high temps
Second. I thought when reading the procedure it was too complex also. But then I just sucked it up and did it. I was making a mountain out of a mole hill. It was very simple. Took less than half an hour and went exactly as it was supposed too. My AT took 3/4 Qt. you just need one of the pumps, two paper clips one for the jumper the other to pin the stat. A pan for the fluid to drain into. Some fluid from Toyota and a half hour when the truck is cold.
I really should start a business doing it.
Lastly. There have been some who have said that they had the dealer reset the learning on the AT after adding fluid or disconnecting the battery for a half hour or more. I guess the theory is that the AT learns bad habits on low fluid and continues to act that way after fluid is added.
I can say from my experience after adding the fluid and disconnecting the battery I have a noticeable improvement in the smoothness of shifting and R to D delay has pretty much been eliminated and I live in the frigid NE.
Dr. Dave. PM me if you want. Maybe a verbal explanation of the procedure might help.

 

Thanks! No, honestly can't tell. They are great so far.

 

You can make a simple pump out of a priming ball, and some 5/16 tubing. Both can be bought at west marine or most hardware stores for under 6 bucks total. The procedure to check sounds much harder then it is.

It's a shame they didn't treat you better. Business today seem to forget that customer service is the cornerstone of business.

 

I could be wrong but I think you forgot something

 

A hair drier is all I had - I put it on high. I would say it took about 1.5/2.0 hours including time to wax it. I was pretty OCD about getting everything clean. My nails were pretty long at the time so they helped with picking at the ends to get them started lol.

 

You should...near Savannah?!?! Lol

I will read up more on how to do it. I remember seeing it in a thread. maybe I can find a video.

 

here is the thread on the low transmission fluid

Jealous. I want to get those wheels, just not trying to spend any more money at the moment.

 

These are gorgeous what are they I want

 

My truck came with them. I kid you not, when I got home after taking delivery, I immediately removed the pin stripe...didn't even tell my wife I was home yet. Lol
