What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Does the tune help with MPG? Mine sucks. Around town I can’t get above 15.5?!?

 

I can't tell you just yet. From looking at the trip info, maybe a slight improvement. I was getting about 16.5 in the city before the tune, and 19.2 with some highway mixed in. By the end of today the computer was saying 20.1

 

Just changed out the oil and trans fluid at 55k. Never I repeat never let the dealer touch your truck. I just spent half a day attempting to loosen bolts tightened wayyyyyy over 30 ftlbs ‍♂️‍♂️‍♂️ they didn’t even put the small gasket on the oil filter housing.

 

Yeah the oil techs are a special kind of people.

 

I don’t think your supposed to need a massive breaker bar to remove the oil filter housing but what do I know lol

 

Agreed! Thanks! Stock off road wheels aren’t terrible at all haha

Oh well if that counts I’d love a free fix! I’m at 2 years just over 30k miles haha

 

thats why the dealer questioned that it was already worked on....good luck with that

 

It does not. At least on my truck. Although to be fair, I've got 285/75/17s a lift and 4:29s.
But to be fair again, it didn't make it any noticeably worse either. It does keep it in a slightly higher RPM range though, with 0 gear hunting so usually more RPMs = crappier MPGs.

 

Indeed.

 

However in the couple hours I've had the tune on my truck, It stays in a higher gear under load a little longer, instead of hunting around aimlessly. I'm thinking if you drive conservative, there may be a slight gain in MPG. But I wouldn't expect a big difference either way.

 

Had some fun in Moab including Fins and Things.

 

That’s awesome! Beautiful pictures/scenery.

Thanks for sharing.

 

Replaced OEM battery with an Interstate AGM 24F from Costco and added some power port options to my TruckVault.

 

Yea, I’ll try to contest it; I mean, they expect me to leave it completely open until they were able to check on it that’s bonkers especially since it rained this week haha.

 

OK, gonna do the RAV4 knobs then. Off to do some research...

EDIT: found part numbers for 7" and 8" 2023 RAV4. Ordered a couple for the 7" and I will see how it goes (Radio Knob - Toyota (90011-25311)!

 

yes. theyre called mobile detailers. should have some around by you. pretty popular here in florida.

 

I let the dealer change my oil one time, still under warranty so it was free. Got home and was leaking oil and my skid plate was missing a bolt. I told them to rotate my tires where the backs go to the front and the front cross to the rear, all they was swap the tires on the same side of the truck. I know this cause I marked the tires with a grease marker just to see if they would do what I asked. It’s a 60 mile round trip to the dealer so I didn’t go back but called and gave them a piece of my mind. Like you said, never again. Screw’em !!!

 

Do you have to order them from Toyota? Still need to do this

 

Okay, okay, you got me. It’s actually extremely difficult and can take several hours, you’ll likely break your dash, and you’ll need to top off the tuning oil on your radio.
