1995.5 Tacomas only - how many are still out there

Does anyone know what is that blank for in 1995.5?

 

I used it to mount a fastball phone mount ...
hahahahaha

 

It’s for the Toyota security system I believe. It was for the notification that the truck is armed.

 

If truck is equipped with auto trans, it is the ECT button.changes shifts. Forget what it actually stands for.

 

I have that blank in mine also and never knew what it was for, thanks for the info!

 

does anybody have an AT that can show us that never seen it before?

 

yep, very interesting ... an AT with a Tach is also interesting lol

 

i can't say I have ever seen an Auto trans with a tachometer is all I meant

 

i suppose I have never looked too close once I notice it is automatic in the past, always just keep on walking, I will keep my eyes open next time if I ever see one

 

Electronically Controlled Transmission. "Power" mode uses higher RPM shift points for improved acceleration with a load or on incline. A lot of people on here have said the leave their switch set to Power all the time. I don't, as my opinion is more RPM = more engine wear. Like any moving part, the more cycles it performs, no matter how well lubricated, it will wear more.

 

The tach isn't standard on some base models:

Bad Idea/dangerous to paint steering wheel air bag?

 

I’ve had a couple of base models. No tach,no radio, no clock,even had an extra cab with no back seat.
Note: I am talking pre Tacoma’s 89-95

 

probably no A/C either? how about power steering?

 

No p/s no air

 

& it’s a 95 manual.

 

I think Jamesboy2233 might have meant an AT with no tachometer?

 

The bare bones edition. My first truck was an ‘82 S-10 and that thing was pretty stripped down but did have a tach and radio at least haha

 

offtopic, i had a '79 corolla hatchback once in the early 90s that had no heater or defrost but it was probably broken?! couple hundred $ car used then .... hard challenge to deliver pizzas during the winter in the midwest, always scraping the inside windows

 

Not a 95.5, mine was built in May of 96.



Update: I finally got the bigger tires on, 32x11.50 15.

 

Nice and clean. Younger brother.
