Tips and Tricks on the 3rd Gen Tacoma

Did techstream disable the seatbelt too?

 

THE TRD OR have an extra hook up front, so if you try to mount the air dam from another model you will have to do some cutting to get it to fit.

 

Why doesn't Toyota put decent front tow hooks on its offroad vehicles.

 

Yes, if the tires are rotated, the TPMS will at least let you know that there is a low tire, thus giving you the heads up so you can investigate yourself... BUT, what doesn't make sense to me is how, by resetting your TPMS, your truck would somehow know that the tires are in the wrong location/position (following rotation) and adjust their location back to where they are supposed to be.
Don't think resetting does this, not possible?

 

after tire rotation and adjusting to specified cold tire inflation pressure level.... hold reset button until warning light blinks slowly for 3 seconds, and the tire pressure warning system will determine the possition of the tire

 

Heres a good read on this topic

If you just tap the turn signal it flashes 3 times for lane changes ect. However that requires you to be smart enough and motivated enough to reach the 3 inches to your left and signal a lane change. Which is less than 20% of the driving public.

 

Couldnt figure out how to cancel the nav either. Broke out the book and basically the easiest way is to use the voice command. Say * cancel route.. and poof it finally quit

 

I don't got that fancy tech package

 

You will have to have the bearing upgraded to the sleeve type and remove the original needle bearing design. We have found that the OEM bearing is to narrows and if not seated correctly it will cause the vibration. Search in forum GEn Diff bearing you can find it and take it or your local dealer I believe Toyota is replacing under warranty.

 

How does one know if they have this problem?

 

No issues for me

 

I am working with a dealership to get the factory plugs. Check my previous posts I have part numbers listed. I will post the info when they are available. From what I am being told it should be very soon

 

I didn't know there were factory plugs. Yes, please let us know once you have more info. Thanks!

 

I just saw within the last couple days one way drain plugs. Don't remember where. They were kinda V shaped with the bottom of the V having a slit for the water to drain out but water could go back up in. Damn can't remember what thread.

 

Those would be nice to have.

 

Where can you get these?

 

Just do a search for duckbill drain valve and you can probably find them cheaper than what's in the link.
