What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Might be the sensor malfunctioning. I'll just go the cheap fix and just remove the bulb like you said.

Glad I'm not in your situation I couldn't handle seeing the fuel gauge not being very accurate.

 

The fuel hand itself is accurate is what makes it weird. what tells the light to come on anyways?

 

Not sure, some sensor I imagine?

Not gonna be cheap but probably not as expensive we all think[/QUOTE]
Be worth it tho. my truck stands out as it is. imagine it goin down the cramped streets of japan with a big white gorilla behind the wheel.

 

No dents. I have a beefy ass skid plate

Pretty much what happens to me....wont come on at full. So i just fill up every other day..lol

 

This is a picture of my bent sending unit from when I dented my tank. The little silver cylinder in front of the pump is the low fuel light sensor. It's completely separate from the float.

 

Are pre runner lower ball joints the same as 4wd ones? I need to replace mine asap because I saw grease coming out from em today, probably won't even drive it until next week.

 

Wurd, they're the same.

 

Anywhere below 3/4 on mine it just jumps around wildly and becomes accurate again at 1/4, stock gauge is like the temp gauge, only a hint of what's actually going on.

 

I'm sure you'll be fine until they come in, just means they are leaking grease not that they are ready to implode upon use. Feel them for play if you're worried.

 

lol Im very worried, Ill have to stick something under the tire and mess with it to see if theres play, but there was a nice blob of grease on the side there so it freaked me out

 

New battery at the house awaiting my assistance in jumping under the hood.

New sig.


Today has been quite productive.

 

jacked it up and checked em with a screw driver between the control arm and spindle and they are nice and tight, still replacing them obviously but seem good. found this chart for recalled vins too, my truck isn't on it, just shy of the VIS lol...

That's weird I guess I'm lucky to have all my gauges work.... for now.

 

My poverty spec barely has any gushes !!!

 

Good thing you have a auto, I can't stand not having a RPM tach on a standard.

 

Had lots of standards with no tach
Have to listen to engine to shift

My cars with tach I never look at it

 

Haha same, I never look at the tach for shift points. Mostly just when coasting, but it's visually appealing to have it vs not have it.

 

Agree visually appealing

My wrx even has gear shift indicator

All cool things
Just useless
