    You truck only has 3000 miles on it?? And you have a 6" lift and 33" tires?

    Your transmission was not designed to run 33" tires. Your gearing is setup for stock tires - not 33's. It's a no wonder your ECU/Computer are confused. It still 'thinks' your running stock tires.

    You need to start researching about putting different gears in your differentials.

I didnt lift this 1 btw its a dealer lift this is my second tacoma the last 1 was wrecked when the truck grew a mind of its own and went into 4x4 low at 70 mph
