How did your gear issue end ?

 

Definitely Holds sixth gear better, definitely drives better with the regear. I do have a humming or whining going on that I might just have to get used to. I guess sometimes you end up with that and it possibly will go away with some miles on the new gears, but not necessarily. About 300 miles or so I'll be taking it in to have him change out the fluids and see what they look like. Four wheel drive engauges and disengages, seems to be okay I guess. Don't really have a good place to try it out yet. The reason the speedometer was off is because on the Toyotas when you set the tire size for the Hypertech calibrator you do not set anything for gear ratio, because Toyota only uses tire diameter for the speed. So we had to hook the laptop up and take out the gear ratio part of the program. Now it seems to be within 1 mph @60 mph.

 

At this point doesn't look like MPGs will improve in fact so far they look like they're going to be worse. Maybe highway driving will improve. Truck definitely drives better. If anyone thinks of doing this make sure you have a very competent shop. There is never a guarantee that you won't end up with some noise that you didn't have before. Probably going to be a little hard to live with but maybe I'll get used to it.

 

So this isn't an amazing improvement just slightly better?? I was hoping a drastic change.

 

I didn't say that. I actually think it drives a whole lot better then it did before. The little bit I did do on the highway was much much improved. It was not shifting all over the place up and down like before, that was driving me probably crazy. I guess if not for the high-pitched humming noise that I'm hearing I would be very satisfied. And not everybody is going to end up with that. Like I said it might just take more time for me to get used to, I really haven't driven it much yet. Also the mileage on these short little runs I've done doesn't look very good for some reason. I'll know more after this weekend though.

 

If it was just a little higher pitch it would blend with my really bad Tinitis from all the guns I've shot over the past 40 years, and masonry saws I've used! Lol.

 

Tomorrow, the hood struts go on!
