I love my foxes

 

BTW, you guys can delete your own posts now if you care to clean the thread up

 

Are we sure it's ABS and not stability control. He lifted his truck, which means stability control is still set at his old center of gravity. When he turns, his truck is sensing the higher center of gravity and thinks he's about to flip the truck. You have to get that recalibrated at a Toyota dealer.

 

I don't think 2nd gens have that

 

It's 2nd gens that do have Vehicle Stability Control(VSC). First gens don't have it. Now I've never heard of it being a problem on a 5lug, mostly 6 lugs. But then again, most people don't lift their 5 lugs.

 

Hmm had no ideA

 

Yeah. There's threads on here about it. 2nd gens that lift their truck have this issue. But it should be doing more then just flipping a light on. It should be trying to correct itself via brakes and throttle. In order to fix it, you have to have Toyota recalibrate it for the new height.

 

I agree I think it might be that. When the beeping happens in the tight turn something feels like there is almost a stabilizer type thing that seems to roll over to the side where the truck is turning I don't know I may just be imagining things

 

Yeah, it sounds to me like it's VSC kicking in early cause of your lift. Easiest way to test it would be to go do some donuts and read what the light says lol. VSC should light up as VSC. ABS would be either ABS, or a vehicle with tire marks under it(not sure what a 2nd gen uses as a light). Research it, there are threads on it. I don't think you can calibrate it yourself though. I think Toyota has to do it.

 

Thats an 09+ thing

 

He has a 2011

 

Kevin, not to rain on your parade or anything, but you should have a 2.7L under your list lol

 

What does that mean haha r u saying my 2.0L is too weak for all these upgrades?

 

I'm saying Toyota doesn't have a 2.0 in their trucks. They never have. Your engine is a 2.7L

 

Then he has stability control. Its standard in 09-15


Kevin.....Sean is right bud....you have a 2.7L i4

 

Nope. my 07 has VSC as well, had the fucker kick on last winter... made for one interesting powerslide

 

I don't think either of my 06s have it

 

yeah... im also thinking my truck is a freak of nature that was born in the back lot of a Toyota dealership... its an 07 with VSC and Auto-LSD, has the SR5 package but no Mech LSD, and no temp sensor in the overhead....

 

Both of my sr5 06s have mech LSD I dont think either of them have VSC and my prerunner has the trd sport suspension. Toyota does weird things
