What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

@TRDRed

Here's mine from recent fill-up

 

I didn’t know that. So what happens when you do that

 

Truck's Computer Estimate of Fuel Range

I was told that the system takes the most recent computed MPG, just before you shut it down to gas up at the station. Maybe your MPG at that time was all city and only 17.....or maybe a mix and was more toward 20. So sometimes your projected range on a full tank may be a lot more than at other times. It just depends on the average MPG when you topped off the tank. The projected estimate is only that. As your driving patterns change, viola, so will your overall average MPG. The truck may state your range is 300, but you actually can get 350, or vice versa. Make sense?

 

Theoretically it puts everything in the system at the same potential.
You could just wait for a few mins, and the capacitors will discharge by themselves.

 

Thank you!

 

Finally got rid of that air dam. I think it looks much better now.

 

Just for clarities sake; It uses your fuel economy average, not your last tank average.
That value is averaged over all of your driving since the battery was last disconnected or it was reset on the economy screen of the headunit

 

I need to get some of those ramps.

 

Get some Race Ramps. Those plastic ones are more dangerous

 

Interesting. I always thought it was a hazard. Wondering if this would reset my fuel range since I rarely get more than 260 a tank supposedly

 

What are race ramps made out of? They seem helpful for changing the oil although it may be longer to drain not being flat

 

I have both the metal and plastic ones. The plastic ones I have are much better for getting a car that sits lower to the ground up in the air a bit. They are also much lighter.

 

@afgixxer

These HF ramps are sturdier but heavy...and they dig into the driveway concrete if you don't approach them just right.

 

High density foam. Not a fan of the plastic or metal ones

 

no it won't clear your computer data. It's a precaution used to ensure no stray voltages are present

 

Great tip! Hadn’t thought about that. It’s so loud! I have the Toyota kit and it’s absurd how loud it is.

If the positive is on the battery never let them touch. If both are disconnected then it doesn’t really matter. Leaving the negative off for a while will do the same thing. It resets the computer because you remove the power long enough for the memory to clear and reset.

 

Which size did you get of race ramps? They are also a lot more $$ too

 

Guess what I did today.

 

$201 Race Ramps RR-40 40" Race Ramp- Pack of 2

Race Ramps RR-40 40" Race Ramp- Pack of 2


They’re a bit pricey but will never crack or rust. Had mine for over 5 years already.

 

I opened up the OEM headlights and made them myself. Did quite a bit of cutting, drilling, and gluing. Separating the headlights is a pain in the ass lol
