NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Shit thats what i thought. Might have to just buy a new one and sell my old one. I want the Trans temp

 

I need to buy a new one too. The buttons fell out at the back and it's pretty much useless with out them. I have to poke something in there to press the button contact.

 

bahahah wtf! that is usless

 

My EM Plus just went up for sale haha

 

I got out and tried to find ya man but I think you left before I could get up there!

Let me know when you want to head up that way again!

 

That’s a Bob thing, I’m pretty sure i bought mine on the same GB, mine works fine....

 

They also wanted $5 EA for a crush washer

 

Those can be reused a couple of times

 

Oh thats good to know. I literally just went on Toyota of Puyallups website and bought the same washer for $1.63, such a scam!

I think I can pull this off, there are videos and write ups all over the place. And I'm not about to pay $360 to the dealership. Probably going to just going to do 3 or 4 drain and fills from under the truck. Then to the temp and level check.

 

They'd probably sell him a used one.

 

And call it primed, hence $5

 

Ultraguage said they don't sell the button pieces separate, it's part of the board. so I'd have to buy a new one.


If only they made a machine that could spit out little plastic copies of those buttons..... I'd be back in business.



I wonder .....

 

i dont know a lot about 3D printing, but i do know some things about resolution...and that’s a tiny little button...

 

I could pull a blob off mid print and I'd probably have what I need. I need to pull the case apart.

 

nice to see you here again. Did you roll through North Bend maybe a month ago and seen my standing on the corner? lol I thought I saw you.

 

Sure will! She mentioned crossing from Ellensberg some time. As well running trails with more people and rigs.

 

when doing the drain and fill method on an a/t how do you know you have it filled correctly? if i replace what i pump out its the same. what if it was low from the factory? want mine filled correctly.

 

No you need to run a small procedure to know it's at the proper level. Some transmissions came factory underfilled and overfilled. You need to either use a scan tool (or something like torque/scangauge with the pid) or out the truck in a special mode. Once the fluid is at the correct temperature you open a overfill plug and wait for it to be a small stream.
This thread covers it all

It's entirely possible you truck could be low from the factory, thousands of other owners have reported finding out theirs was incorrectly filled at the factory. I guess that's not on the PDI list for dealers.

The only way to know if yours is filled correctly is via the temp check procedure, which involves taking a paperclip/jumper wire and inserting it at 2 pins on the obdII port, shifting the shifter around between the gear range and waiting for the atf temp light to come on. You then remove the check plug to observe if a trickle or no atf comes out. If it's a trickle it's correct, if none, add untill it starts to come out and reinstall the check plug.

I'd imagine that if yours was low, with that supercharger and mods, you'd easily know by now.

 

pretty sure with him being supercharged if he was low from factory, he would know it by now.
