TRD supercharger availability update

Sigh! Consider yourselves lucky! I had to pay for my own rent a car for the two days mine was getting the charger installed. $37 a day, but they did pay for one of the days by taking it off my install price. My dealer had no rentals due to the high frame replacements going on.

 

They told me flat out they would put me in a car on their dime.....honestly had they not I woulda told them to fuck themselves!!!!! For the dough I'm paying for this, that's the least they could do.

 

My dealer was out of rentals as well. They said if I wanted to wait till the following week they would be happy to provide on. I said eff that, as they were able to work on the truck immediately.

 

That literally made me laugh out loud to myself in an elevator full of people like a crazy person.

 

330ish crank vs 260ish crank

So far its been great! It pulls nicely, and I have been getting 9-10 mpg running 10 ish over pulling the project truck on the trailer, wife and kids loaded up along with all the gear for vacation.

It drives better towing. Can run a gear higher most places. In the mountains where I ran 3rd gear at 65 in the past I have been running 4th gear, and so far 5th has been plenty the rest of the time.

I would say about 400 lbs of gear, 400 in passengers and 5500 trailer and cargo..

 

There hasn't been a time yet where I had trouble maintaining the speed limit or better..

That makes it worth the upgrade! Don't really need anymore. The truck towed great before I always just wanted a smidgen more guts to the 4.0 and its pretty much perfect now!

 

Nice!

 

Also I have been keeping up with my fuelly so there is proof of my MPG in case anyone wonders.

Really its doing better than I expected. . I am bot in the least bit trying to save gas I am trying to get where I am trying to get where I am going. Time is valuable. 1 or 3 mpg isn't worth driving 10-30 mph slower. (Best mpg is right about 55)

 

Also the last tank of today I will fill in the morning, it was exxon 93, and it was worse than the shell 93.

I don't care what any testing bodys or official BS says about fuel quality Shell 93 always runs better for me and that is proof enough!

 

Just got my truck back today, installed by Cabe Toyota in Long Beach. Took 2 days, very clean install. Paid $850. Can't wait to put some miles on it!

 

Nice! Funny, every dealer seems to put the stickers on a different location.

 

U got a part # on that oil cap ?

 

I don't think I got the TRD legal in 50 states sticker as a part of my kits. I got the routing diagram but thats it.

 

Some places you have to buy it online. Do a search here. Don't remember the specifics. Depends on the dealer or some crap like that. I dunno if I have one, not worried. Get it if I need it later. I'm in Nevada, so we also got screwed up laws. Too close to you surfers LOL.

You's gonna love it! I took it out right after the install for 20 miles of OMMPFF, girl, you takin' it hard driving. Felt good. Had it for 7-8 months now, I put few miles on the truck, mebbe 4k since I got it. All is good in boost town! I really don't use it unless I need it, but sometimes I just let it loose, turn off ATRAC with the 3 sec button and woohoo!

Look at putting in a oil catch can. Search for that term here. Keeps the inter-cooler clean under the SC. Good LONG term thing, easy to install once you make the bracket....

Army.. I was AF. I saved the world for 21 years with a screwdriver, ocillisope, and coffee. I did management stuff too. Called my commander Uke (his flying callsign)and the captain I worked for answered my phone as 'MSgt Elam's' office. My saving of the world from Commies was pretty good.......... Thank god I got out before the sandbox became a home away from home. I got lucky. Props to all the real heroes with guns.

 

What sticker? Mine is still at the dealership....

 

No part number on the oil cap, I've had it a long time. And I also did not receive the 50 state legal sticker, guess I'll order one in case the popos try to sweat me. Has anyone else had the maintenance required light on the dash flash at them for about 5-10 seconds after starting the engine?? Mine flashes then turns off. Strange.

 

what is the cylindrical thing between the brake fluid tank and the fuse box ? is it part of the S/C or an oil catch to filter what come out of PCV ?

 

Intercooler coolant reservoir.

 

is that a part of the S/C or something else ?

 

have you tried to take off the oil cap yet? i bought one to put on there after the S/C install, but the thickness of the oil cap prevents it from going on right...gotta almost bend the oil filler just to get the cap on which isn't the best option to do over and over again
