Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

I was going to try to bribe someone local that had already bought it

 

lol, it's not that bad. It's just not a common way to do it. Best to do early in morning when your fluids are cold. Also don't torque to spec like says on guide, I'm sure I overtightened my drain plug and need a new pan. Just tight till snug as bug in a rug.

He was local on Sunday, lol.

 

I was just at @Sociopenguin place on Sunday lol

 

Well I just got the truck Saturday. I needed to give it a few days.

 

He was. I saw it man.

 

I have researched further as I want to do it. It is better, but he doesn't sell the whole kit anymore. You buy the OVTune + the OVTune Kit. Then you have to order the Connector Sensor from an oversees vendor as OVTune does not use that part of the Supply Chain Anymore. There are a bunch of muddled threads on what, how, and when to install what which has kept me from doing it especially now.

 

there's some pretty straightforward directions in the vftuner thread lol

 

They have arrived! Rock sliders are in! Now hopefully with family coming to town this weekend I can still get them on

 

Or you just find someone that already has all the things and pay them to do it for you

 

Any way, if anyone is within an hour of Johnson county and wants to OVtune my truck, send me a message.

Yeah, an easy to digest 1000 pages

 

Exactly. You only need the last 200 or so....

 

I mainly just don't want $600 worth of stuff sitting around that I don't intend to use more than once. Although maybe I should wait until they get the locker thing figured out, whatever is missing there.

 

That's why you have @Shellshock tune you for less than $600

 

I would deffinitely take it to firestone over doing a driveway alignment. Especially if you have the lifetime, just make sure you keep them honest on camber and caster adjustments. Maybe hang out and watch the tech too. A good Taco alignment should take a cool minute to do correctly and the caster should be re measured before the paperwork is printed. I think that a bad alignment on an alignment rack is still better than a driveway alignment. By the way, I'm new to the Northland, just moved here from california.

 

I would never try and alignment in the driveway.... That just sounds like asking for trouble! I have done them at a dealership before and that is certainly one thing I will never try.

Welcome to KC!

 

Make it into town then?

Do we formally welcome you to KC now?

 

Easy Derrick. Don't go scaring off the new folks...

 

Yup its official
