    I am thinking about getting the 70mm tundra throttle body but I don't know what year is recommended for the 2nd gen tacomas?

    Looks like a Gen2.5 TRD Sport, but really an '08 TRD OffRoad
    TRD Supercharged / OTT Tuned
    From URDs website...

    70mm throttle body = 2010+ FJ and 4Runner 1GRFE.

    76mm throttle body = 2005+ 2UZ-FE 4.7L V8 and 2007+ 3UR-FE 5.7L V8. TB from a 2006 Sequoia does not fit.

    Everyone better have their stock ones on hand and a small arsenal of tools on the ready for when it happens if that's the case.

    Based on the way they fail on the Tacomas and Jeeps I am going to take an inclinated guess here to say it is not a shitty batch more so shitty made in China electronics more than anything else.

    I'm going to put them in. I'll report back on what happens. Seems like the average time to failure is less than a year.

    I got about 8 months. I'm not sure why it's only 1 that failed or if more were going out.. But I suspect a bad yield rate on the batch as well and they purposely gave people 5 good and 1 bad to hedge their bets. Like if it kept running, good, but most likely % no good.. I'm in mfg/QC and we see this all the time. In fact, I suspect the already knew. Doesn't matter if it's it's designed in America, you had better test the cyclical rate before failure. Why their warranty is a year conveniently as well...

    I think it's more mileage based than anything. Mine lasted me about 2-3 years (I want to say?) I can't remember when I put them in but they lasted me 2 spark plug replacements, so about 20K before going bye bye. I threw them away in the trash. Right where they belong. :rofl:

    I never bothered, for me even if they sent replacements I wouldn’t feel comfortable running them.

    Why would you bother? Honest question, I’m sure you know that they don’t improve performance?

    It's a fckin gimmick product, sorry to those who fell for the grift.

    Throw it in the sCrap pile with your solenoids and manifold spacers. :spending:
