What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks... The question is whether or not, after installing a sensor in the spare, if the spare's pressure is displayed on the center console once it's been "registered" with the ECU.

It's *possible* (although this would be somewhat evil in my mind) for the ECU to take the spare's pressure into account when deciding if the TPMS error light should be lit, but not displaying the pressure at the console (again, evil).

 

Dude let me know how you wire everything up and take some pics!
I've got the Cobra 19 and I'm thinking about same mounting location. Haven't pulled the trigger on the rest of the stuff needed. All I have is the radio

 

Installed the Prinsu and gave her a drink.

 

So I didn't get to testing via inflating the former spare w/ DT sensor, but I can attest that the sensor reading stays in line with the other 3 as I drive both in the am and pm commute, which avg total is 82mi. This morning the 3 oem sensors read 34, DT 33, by the time I had been on 70mph interstate for over 10 mi. they were all reading 37. I doubt the spare would change (if our 3rd gens could handle 5 sensors) that much just from a 4* increase in temp. during that span of driving/distance while tucked up under the bed.

I think they just have to cycle out the tire going into the spare rotation spot...vs. having all 5 stored? I'll ask them when I take her back in for the next rotation.

 

I will, FYI Im also using industrial strength velcro to hold the radio to the side. with the truck being 3 days old im not sure i want to drill into anything visible yet. I have given up on the 29 and i bought a president bill Cb radio ($95 on ebay). Its smaller and better suited for this cab. Ill keep you updated

 

Welcome welcome!

Diggin the Truck and always love seeing the Silver Sky's! Nice photos down by the river!

 

I will need to check into this. I still have my take-offs with the TPMS in them. I will use one as a test spare tire.

 

you're from Florida?

 

Which fogs are those? Squadron, pro or DOT? I’m interested to hear your thoughts on output and dispersion. Nice!

 

I hadn't intended to make work for you, but I sure would like to know. Might be a few other people, too.

 

Looked back at a 2016 thread on this very same subject. The 5th tire will not be displayed.
My TPMS scanner will read/write the spare info IF the vehicle allows it.

 

Thanks, but I guess I misunderstood your original post on the subject. My real question was whether or not our Gen3s can handle (and display) all 5 pressure sensors at the same time (provided that 5th one was installed in the spare). I was under the impression that Gen2s could do this. Seems like it would be good to know if your spare is properly inflated or not, especially for people that go off-roading, even though that's not really the purpose of TPMS (gov't mandate to improve fuel economy, the spare doesn't count).

@pdenajim has generously volunteered to look into this.

<edit> ...and we have the answer. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...-3rd-gen-today.399305/page-6480#post-21109253

 

I am affronted that you are offended that LSUfan is slighted at the fact that I am repulsed.

 

Again, bummer, but thanks much for looking into this.

<edit> On the bright side, the few bucks I spent for an extension hose to check the spare pressure at the bumper wasn't wasted. Yes, I know I could just flip the spare over so the valve stem is down and towards the rear, but I'm getting old and lazy and more resistant to crawling under there for any reason.

 

Darn it .... I’ve been looking to buy a set of those!!!

 

I had that exact problem, and it sorted itself out after a couple days with the original Toyota gas cap reinstalled

 

New 3rd Gen Tacoma Power Folding Mirrors - Pre Order Now!

Well it’s not necessarily what I did TODAY for my Taco but for the Tacoma Community...I have finally RELEASED the 3RD GEN TACOMA POWER FOLDING MIRRORS!!!!





This is something that I’ve always wanted to have and until I actually had it on my truck, I never really realized how often I use this luxury.





Here is a diagram of the main wiring harness and all the Plug-N-Play Connectors. It is that easy!!!



Check it out on the thread and let me know if you have any questions!!!

 

They are the BD Squadron SAE fogs.

I will get some test shots tonight and let you know.

 

What I did today: Got those aerosol cans out of my truck. Seemed like a good idea.
