    Apparently there are people still getting the TSB done no matter the model of Taco. Go to your dealer complaining of a harsh ride with a load and see what happens. Don't tell them I sent you though.

    That would be great. :)

    It is chipping after normal driving conditions, and it's almost to a point where it looks like freckles on the bumper.

    I'm 90% sure they'll say it's from road debris and won't cover it.

    There's company's out there that sell invisible bras to protect the paint though, maybe something to look into.

    There have been alot of threads on the Tire Pressure Management System and none of them have really come out and said if you can remove the ecu for it. I know that there is one for the 06's but I haven't been able to find one on the 07 or newer models. So is there a way to turn off the light or the system instead of putting the sensors in a pressurized tube or in a tire located on the vehicle.

    If you pull the ecu the light will either just flash or stay on. There's no real way to disable it. Might try just pulling the bulb from the dash unless its not a bulb behind the combo meter. Next time I go digging into a dash I'll let you know.

    The "cheap" in me says dismount the spare tire and duct tape the sensors to the rim and reinflate the tire. Should work as long as you remember to not use the spare.

    What do you guys have against the TPMS anyways? Is it really that big of a deal?
