Tacoma 3rd gen. Atkinson motor

Yep. I just drove it kindly for the first month or so, then I drove it normal after. I have also heard they learn how you drive, so show it how you drive. And then there is, drive it like you stole it, that way you know she can handle it.

I read all that on the internet, so it's all got to be true, right?

 

I babied mine for the first 1k, no "pedal to the metal", jamming on the brakes, etc. I read all that in the owners manual.

I also drop into 4hi on occasion, because I read it in the manual.

I mentioned before, take everything you read with a grain of salt until you get the hang of things around here.

Some members really know what they are talking about, and some members are just good at talking shit- you will probably figure out who is who.

Since I am the one who paid for my truck, I usually/ always err on the side of caution, if you get my drift.

I read the manual when I got my truck, (word to the wise).

 

No the internet is maybe half true. Yes I will drive it easy for a month or so then give her a little more what for. Working it a little harder. You don't want to teach it to be a sucked out motor if it learns your driving habits. THANKS BUD.

 

Yes thank you I always read the manual and file away all service records too.I had a Sears catalogue worth of service records on my new dodge hemi.LOL

 

Bought it new in 2005.

 

Thanks.
