2018 Tacoma’s Are “No Touch” Vehicles?

"To err is human, but to really foul things up you need a computer."
-William E. Vaughan ca. 1969-

I see much of this stuff having the potential to make the message "Fatal Error Reading Drive C:" become much more than an annoyance...

 

Uhhhh, ok...

 

Hahahaha

 

Myth busted

 

Its gonna stop no one from lifting it, that really wants to lift it, lets be real...

 

Drumroll....and with full warranty to boot! Lift warranty with separate co.

 

This is true. I don't have any TSS issues after the suspension and TRD Pro grille install either. TSS works great and no dash light errors at all.

 

The lift won't void your warranty anyhow, so that doesn't really matter. They obviously won't replace the aftermarket parts, but everything else is still under warranty as long as the aftermarket part was not the direct cause of any particular failure.

 

It would if it's reasonable the lift caused premature wear on the part you're trying to claim.

Try going in for warranty repair on factory shocks if you have spacers in there. Guess who wins that claim?

 

TSS / GPS /Atrac /crawl control / ABS / heated mirrors / radar.....

I give up, can't anyone drive a fucking truck anymore without all this BULLSHIT !? Some call it "safety equipment" Are you fucking kidding me ?Safety my ass, if people would just pay attention & do what they're supposed to be doing,,,, oh yeah, driving , supposed to be driving hah! If we need all this horseshit to drive safe, we shouldn't be behind the wheel....

Oh, that's coming next, automated driver control, just let the truck do ALL the work so's we can sit on our ass's & fiddle fuck with our "social media devices" I remember when they were just phones....Jeezus !! now wheres that face palm meme ??...

 

Thanks for stating the obvious... I would never install spacers as a "lift" by the way. But to answer your question, you would probably win that one in a court of law. I would opt to spend the $50 for a new factory shock in that case.

 

lol

 

Hey man, just responding to your comment above "The lift won't void your warranty anyhow, so that doesn't really matter." Just saying you forgot to qualify it with the statement I made.

It's obvious to us and all the long time members on here, but there's also a lot of rookies on here that don't even know the bolt pattern on Tacoma wheels.

 

No worries man, point taken. I edited my original comment to be a little more clear.

 

No worries! GO EAGLES!!!

 

Do we have to be such a drama queen? A bit of backup in case of mistakes isn't the end of the world. Caca pasa, folks.

 

That Cement long bed is badass! Any idea what the specs are on the lift and tires?

 

Right on man! Not a Patriots fan here either.

 

It is very likely to be a phased array radar. The antenna is fixed but the beam is steered electronically. The mounting geometry matters. If you replace your grille or put a lift on the truck, you need some dealer support to make sure the safety-related systems are guaranteed to operate correctly.

Part of the factory calibration procedure is to put radar reflectors at certain points in space in front of the truck, and the software verifies that the location the radar reports is the same as the physical location. You need tooling to do the job, and it means that practically speaking you need dealer support to do the mod.

I am not saying you can't transplant the transceiver into the new grille and make sure it is perfectly vertical (if that is how it is supposed to be installed) and parallel to the latitudinal axis of the truck. It will probably still work okay. But the point is that you can't be sure unless the dealer performs the calibration.

One of the parameters the tech has to enter, is the height of the transceiver. The tech seems to have 3 discrete options, and none of them is "Bubba 3" lift." That parameter would not be there, if it didn't matter.

 

Or, just permanently disable the system altogether and let people drive the vehicle they bought without a damn computer interfering.
