    Is the Haltech setup to control the trans too?

    Transmission Control (haltech.com)

    Interested if a full ECU replacement is possible vs the typical parallel piggy configuration.

    I believe a full ECU replacement is possible to control both the motor and trans. I'm still using the stock ECU to control the trans though. I'm happy with my shifting so I didn't see the need to dive into that.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Not what he's asking, none of the options presented currently are off the shelf PnP ready for trans control, though if you have a Haltech 2000/2500 or a 750 and a PD16, you could wire it up and set it up for trans control yourself. As it is right now, all of them are using the stock computer for trans control and if they have an 03/04 they're using it for throttle body control too.

    Which brand of UCA that is "generic" but made by SPC? Hard to search for that here without getting a bunch of "actual" SPC hits...

    Don’t quote me on it, but I believe you’re looking for the adjustable arms on rockauto. And they’re the TW discount code.

    Pretty sure the adjustable mevotech UCAs have been out of stock on rockauto for a while now. I could be wrong

    Packing my truck to go wheeling next week and my damn tailgate cable broke. I ordered a new one and then $200 worth of suspension brackets from Barnes 4wd to make me feel better.

    Changed the oil, rotated the tires and did not change brake pads. Stupid pins are rusted to the calipers. :annoyed:

    Yup. Ordered some just a few months ago. Tried to get some for my buddy's 4Runner and they were all out of stock.

    It was fun avoiding MSRP for the same arms while it lasted.

    If there ISN'T a snorkel, install is fairly simple.

    If there is a snorkel, not so fun trying to hold back a loosened snorkel from A piller, shifting/lifting the hood hinge and sliding the mount in.... solo.
    A 2nd set of hands would have been great.
    Then don't forget that the snorkel claims real estate that the mount is expecting to be clear. Cut/hack/test fit/test fit 2x/test fit 3x/swear 100x/paint/install...
