New to Me. Pyrite 12 TRD 4x4 6-Speed

12 Pyrite TRD 4x4 6-Speed. Any recommendations on must do's for a manual trans set-up?

 

Three things:

1. Install the TRD Quickshift
2. Replace MT fluid
3. Buy and install a set of Seat Jackers for the driver seat. Makes clutch/shifting so much easier when your leg is supported.

 

Hey thanks for the reply. I just did the MT fluid with some Mobil1. Will look into those shifters. Thanks again.

 

Make sure you learn the good and bad about 2012's. Great trucks but some things
can be a bitch to deal with, The Evap emissions is one of the bads.
Knowing the service history helps.

 

Yeah it just had the pump recall done in the summer along with the maintenance history to thank.

 

2Lo mod. Great for backing while towing.

I think there was a Plug N’ Play Kit available at one time.
Not sure if it’s still being made?

This is the link for the 2LO kit for second gens.. its amazing and needed if you do alot of backing up and especially great from backing to hook up to a trailer. I thought it was a bit expensive but totally plug and play. Ive had it over a year and use it quite a bit, more than I thought. It was discontinued but apparently they might do another run so get your name on the list if you think you might need it. Reverse sucks and geared totally wrong for backing up slow.

Nice truck!

Totally worth the money after I saw the build quality and functionality and super easy to install
