99 Tacoma Student "Build"

Thanks! And the UG is pretty cool, well see how it goes as I drive more. I need to calibrate it more I think

 

I just did my second fill up with the SG. It was off a bit on the fuel used, so the mpg should be more accurate now. It was reading that im getting like 20 mpg or better. I knew that was wrong haha. The trans temp seems to be pretty high from the norm ive seen on here. After a long city drive tonight it got up to 215. No higher, but thats way more then what ive seen from the other people here. Im gonna proably install a tranny cooler and flush my fluid, see if that brings it down

 

BTW, check out my wheeling vids i just put up on my build! Truetrac FTMFW

 

Alright, maybe if I can get on the computer tomorrow and I'm pretty sure my wheels are way off balance, idk wtf is goin on

 

Sounds like my vibes haha. Wheel weights can move. And your phone doesnt like you? you cant watch vids haha? Its pretty cool. You can see me spinning away in the second vid, and then it locks up with e-brake

 

Yeah I thought that was you maybe not. They do rust like crazy. The new f-150 or a little old? I'm sure the ecoboost ones aren't gonna last very long,

Yeah man! Never thought of putting a light on the aide of the seat. Mine is just on the other side of the the center console like thing. That ultraguage mount seem out of the way enough but easy to read.

 

I'll check it out in a few!

If they are outta balance its usually on at a certain speed you get some vibs and its through the steering wheel usually.

 

How do you calibrate it Put in the tire size and all or is it pretty complicated? Or slowly put in the actually mpg you got and let it get adjusted?

 

Its a 2010 f150 4.6l v8, but I dont think it'll last. And idk how to calibrate it, I'm just gonna fill up a few tanks and look through the menu for stuff

 

Maybe he will trade it in for something else so it doesnt matter? Yeah I bet its not to hard to calibrate

 

Nah, my family tries to keep cars for 10ish years. My mom just got a 2014 Ford escape and its already having some problems. Before that she had a Honda odyssey

 

Same here for the years. We have my truck (15) a yukon (10) and a rabbit thats newer (7) all are proving to be good cars. What problems is she having id imagine its electrical stuff.

 

Yeah its electrical(the radio turns itself on after she turns off the car and takes out the key) and the HVAC isn't very good either, performs badly

 

Thats some weird electrical problems. I drove an escape with the 2.4L it was pretty slow unless you reved the crap outta it I didnt like that haha

 

Yeah, my mom test drove that and it was a POS, so she got the eco boost model and its peppy

 

I mean few cars ive drove are that slow and under powered(honda crv is bad too). I wouldve gone for the eco boost also.

 

We got a 2013 rav4 with the 4cyl, and the thing is a speed demon. I bet it would smoke my truck in a race haha

 

I'm not surprised hahah but look at the size of it compared to other cars with 4cyl its a lot smaller.

 

Supposedly the v6 is crazy fast haha

 

My mom drives a 2012 tacoma, and we have a 2013 grand Cherokee that's pretty nice, quick too but not like they used to make them. We also had a 2010 Camaro ss with a bunch of mods but it got to be too much so my parents traded it in on a 2013 Chevy Cruze ltz, and it's super nice. Leather heated seats, navigation, the whole 9 yards, and it has blacked out tail lights haha. It also has the 1.4 turbo engine, and it's crazy fast for being an economy car haha.
