What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Did you get TSB 62-18 applied to the ECU? Mine drove like a different truck after that.

 

When I saw folks reactions to the first time they drove with the PC installed I knew that is where I will get my old truck back. One got ordered this AM with overnight shipping I want it so badly. Of course right now I am not driving anywhere but when we all get back on the road I do think the PC will give me back the excitement I used to get driving my 2008 model.

 

PC? Can you elaborate? Sorry, noob here. Is this like a chip? I saw one called a PCR.

 

Why’s that? Can I store it horizontally and use it vertically? I’ve seen bed mounts where it’s near horizontal before.

 

It's just the button to the left of the odometer reading. It toggles between odometer, trip A and trip B mileage. I always use B for my local driving. The total of what I have driven and how far I have left on the tank add up to roughly 400, not that I'll actually get that much.

 

Supposedly it was held up at the port getting recalls and updates before I received it.

 

I have never done the reset on A or B so maybe that is why my Mileage to Empty is always off?

 

That was one of the first things I did to my FJ. Was wondering if there was a way to do it on the Taco.

 

One option is to check in with @Blais03 here.

 

Did you check for any ECU updates? Once I had my 2017 updated the throttle response was the difference between night and day.

 

Thanks my friend.

 

Note, Toyota does NOT do anything unless you ask and make a point of knowing what TSBs are required as opposed to Kia for example who researched any recalls or updates in advance of your appointment with the mechanic. I know this for a fact because I have dealt with both dealers.

Got 2 things to install today.

 

A CO2 cylinder contains LIQUID CO2. When standing upright it boils off to a gas when used. The liquid stays in the cylinder. Regulators are NOT intended to have liquid CO2 released through them.

It can be safely used if mounted at say a 45 degree angle, but NOT horizontal.

 

My parents have a ‘16 with OEM running boards. The back of my legs hit them every time I get out. My daughter could definitely use steps.

 

Dammit, I didn't even know the Peddle Commander existed before today and now I am going to have to buy one. This truck has a way of opening my wallet at an expert level. I'm not sure why I feel compelled to spend so many additional dollars on a Truck that is brand new. This forum has cost me a lot of money

 

Satisfaction with the Pedal Commander seems to be hit or miss. Most reviews that I've seen describe it as simply making the computer think that you've pressed the pedal farther, harder, or faster than you actually have.

If I get a chance to drive a truck with a pedal commander I'll try it. Until then I'll save the money and let my right foot do its job.

 

PM me if you’re interested. Thanks man

 

Yea I'm not sold on it. Going the regear route myself.
