What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Hmm, is your fuel tank dented at all? My tank is dented causing my gauge to go from full to half a tank in 60 miles and won't go any lower. My low fuel light still works though. Not sure if it could be a similar cause for you, just a different result.

 

Well the other day I got my main LED lights mounted up. 360W forward and 18W to each side. Working on my wiring harness now as well. I will post those pics soon. Also started swapping out grill pieces.

120W Cree combo 22 inch bar

240W Cree 42 inch bar.

18W side alley pod lights.

Original chrome

New blacked out trim.

 

Does Wheelers usually do a Black Friday sale? Looking at getting rear suspension but I may go to Toytec and get it all since it's 10% off

 

I hope they do

 

As do I because they have some parts cheaper than Toytec, so if they do 10% off it'll be better. But I think they've only done Icon

 

Mine does this starting at about 1/4 tank. it even dims and gets brighter.

 

Mine does this, doesnt seem to be a fuel level issue. Ive had it happen with a 100% Full tank. It flickers really fast even when stationary. Doesn't happen often enough to annoy me.

 

My light comes on dims and brights, when it is very close to E. I live on a very high hill, so if downhill, light dims and goes away (truck thinks I have fuel). Other than that, my fuel light is very accurate. If mine started at 1/4 tank, it would be annoying as heck.

I get about 16.5 gallons in, when the light is on.

 

Might be the sensor malfunctioning. I'll just go the cheap fix and just remove the bulb like you said.

Glad I'm not in your situation I couldn't handle seeing the fuel gauge not being very accurate.

 

The fuel hand itself is accurate is what makes it weird. what tells the light to come on anyways?

 

Not sure, some sensor I imagine?

Not gonna be cheap but probably not as expensive we all think[/QUOTE]
Be worth it tho. my truck stands out as it is. imagine it goin down the cramped streets of japan with a big white gorilla behind the wheel.

 

No dents. I have a beefy ass skid plate

Pretty much what happens to me....wont come on at full. So i just fill up every other day..lol

 

This is a picture of my bent sending unit from when I dented my tank. The little silver cylinder in front of the pump is the low fuel light sensor. It's completely separate from the float.

 

Are pre runner lower ball joints the same as 4wd ones? I need to replace mine asap because I saw grease coming out from em today, probably won't even drive it until next week.

 

Wurd, they're the same.

 

Anywhere below 3/4 on mine it just jumps around wildly and becomes accurate again at 1/4, stock gauge is like the temp gauge, only a hint of what's actually going on.

 

I'm sure you'll be fine until they come in, just means they are leaking grease not that they are ready to implode upon use. Feel them for play if you're worried.

 

lol Im very worried, Ill have to stick something under the tire and mess with it to see if theres play, but there was a nice blob of grease on the side there so it freaked me out

 

New battery at the house awaiting my assistance in jumping under the hood.

New sig.


Today has been quite productive.
