What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

I perfer to think of it as exploring the gas stations of america.....











while im on the hunt for the famous MPG Gremlins!!!!!

 

hahaha I know right... So many good gas stations out there, so little time!

 

I don't know what mileage I get but I know it is very bad for a 4banger on 31's, I know its from my worn out engine. I don't care about gas mileage that much.

 

i read the "ever wonder how fast your auto tranny can overheat" and went to vatozone and picked up the scangauge 2 put in the x code and BAM!! now i got my trans temp gauge and a bunch of other guages i wanted

 

I hate you and your newer model Taco where xcodes actually work for T-Temp!

Ok, I don't hate you. Just for kicks, can you post the codes you used?

 

This is my over riding condition to any mods. I still need to get to places.

I have been thinking of adding a second gas tank where the spare tire is.

 

I've been thinking about doing something similar buy don't want the gas tank to take a hit in a rear end collision. I've been contemplating ditching the stock muffler for something smaller and re routing it to place the gas tank there. It would add a bit more protection and even out the load.

Or a dot legal solution haha

definitely would be cool

 

there are only two reasons why i have my taco in addition to my other truck. first being air condition(because i havent fixed my chevy truck yet) and the other is mpg my k1500 extended cab gets 13mpg in the city no way in heck id drive a tacoma that got that(maybe a modded one understandably but not a stock one)

 

sure, post #13 by digiratus

" What is interesting is that that is not the code I am using. My notes indicate the following is what I entered in the xgauge settings:

Trans Temp
TXD: 68 6A F1 01 B4
RXF: 04 41 05 B4 00 00
RXD: 28 08
MTH: 00 09 00 05 FF D8


And is kind of confirmed by this thread:

excuse the dirty engine compartment





my little disc brake conversion

 

I went with the new d2s for mine, and he's getting my old ones

 

Found a nice spot for my flashlight.
Made some ebrake cable extenders to clear my dakars.
Also almost done making my AP bumper level with my fenders.

 

Confirmed. This VVVV is the code I use in my SG. See the first post in the iha8mud link.

IIRC, the original scangauge, v1, could not handle x codes. Mine is their v2 model and they may now be onto the v3. These are firmware numbers.
