    Ah but for us autos, it can read the all-important trans fluid temperature. Which the UG can't.

    There are also X-gauge codes you can install, like the one @Digiratus linked above. I think there are over 100 possible codes you can read.

    I guess if the xgauge code can get you to the right memory reference in the ECU then that'd be the way to go. So weird that the predefined PIDs from the official OBD spec aren't already provided in the device. But reading auto trans temp is important.

    Agreed, it looks very good now. If I had known they improved it so much I would have gotten one this last summer when I was rebuilding my truck.

    The whine never gets old, my favorite is dropping into 4th or 3rd on the highway depending on how fast I'm going and flooring it...she really whines then :D

    Hopefully you don't run into any lean issues...highway hill climbs were the worst for me prior to the 7th injector and I still have pinging issues with it at times, I need to customize the settings on it. Been saying that forever but I will eventually.

    Check Build thread
    So dropped the truck off to get some valve cover gaskets done and get a call about 1 hour later saying my LBJ are in bad shape and that they want to replace them. BUT I just replaced them about 10k miles ago with genuine toyota oem lbjs?? Could they seriously be bad already or could the tech be making a mistake confused with play from the inner/outer tie rods or wheel bearing?

    Make them show you first. Who knows how good they are at diagnosing play and whether or not the play they're seeing is LBJ related.

    Those are the ones that have too many social media accounts and post on IG bi-minutely about their mods (copious LED pods in the factory bumper), gotta appeal to those who will talk about your product haha
