loving this thing

hey ppl... new on here ...got lots of questions and hope you all can help..
has ANYONE tried that damn chip that gives you 60 hp AND 7 mpg??!! or has ANYONE proved it to be crap ??..lol

 

Welcome to TW from NV!

 

have not tried it but will keep an eye on this thread and welcome

 

Welcome to TW! That chip doesn't exist and never will, but you could always gut your truck and take a sawzall to remove a lot of metal to make it faster and achive those mpg's your looking for.

 

Thanx for the welcome everyone.. I also want to get my hands on 1 of those yota symbals on the front grill with the devil horns. anyone know where i can get 1 ?

This should get you started.

 

Thanx for the link .. now which do I GET..lol..

 

besides cutting my truck all up, does mpg get better as it breaks in? my first tank or so was only like 13. something and now its up to 16 . something on the second tank. what r some of the avg ppl are getting?

 

yes it does from personal experience and post on here the is a small break in period

 

Welcome, I average around 15-18 sometimes 19. Depending on my driving for the week and how heavy my foot is. I normally try to drive like an old man, so more weeks have been around 18mpg..

 

WOW !!!! i just had a 08 TRD Sport n the most i EVER got was 16 HIGHWAY ... yes i have the 6cyl.. i had the sport for 3 months n it had 53 thou miles n by 56 the front wheel bearings went so i figued it was BEAT ON so i got out of it n got an 11 TRD TX PRO so if i can get even CLOSE to 20 it would make this move that much better

 

You had an 08 for 3 months? Well if that had the v6, than pretty much same engine. If your driving habits where getting you 16 on that truck (barring any major issues on the engine). Then you will probably get the same results.

 

Welcome!

 

yeah.. 3 months.. i loved it but after having issues that fast i couldnt trust it n didnt want a money pit.. I lost a little $ but but the owner of a big yota dealer is a customer of i mine n the last time Ifixed her refig i talked to her n got a really good geal on the 11 tx pro .. i was hoiping this would b A LITTLE better on gas but as long as its not worse..lol..

 

Welcome I bought my truck in Feb. last year and averaged like 18.5 until the spring then it went up to 19+ and occasionally hitting just over 20. I thought it was from breaking in but now it has dropped again to the mid 18's so I guess that it's the different fuels from summer to winter.

 

yeah the fuels makes sense.. CT. gas seems to burn so fast..when I go up to NH or VT to c family I always seem to get better mpg with the gas for up north ..lol.. NH gas seized the motor on my snowmobile last year on the first trip up though..

 

Nice, ya like I said, I drive like an old man most days to save alittle gas. I use reg 87 octane, and get what I get. I figure I didn't buy a car, so I shouldn't expect car type mpg.

 

very true.. i DO love my truck so and im not going to get car mpg but there is a 3 to 4 mpg diff that i see ppl getting but like you said it could be driving habits... im not a speed demon but I had to see what my new baby had for power ..lol..
