    Ultragaguge MX reads transmission temperature!

    Not possible on the 04. It runs an older non-CAN protocol. Unfortunately.

    Ultragaguge MX reads transmission temperature!

    You want Tacoma/Tundra CAN. I don't have a pic, but I bought one of the 3M mounts from UG and mounted mine just above the interior lights dimming roller switch...in between the AC vent and the tach gauge. I feel like I had to trim the sticky mount a bit to get it to fit, but I don't 100%...

    First time towing - lift questions

    I think you should be fine. I have a similar spacer lift (on a V8) and have pulled that similar load just fine. There is some "squat" but it's not bad. If you wanted, you could get a weight distribution hitch. When set up properly, they completely level out the tow vehicle (eliminating all...

    What's our payload capacity?

    My 04' V8 Sport 4wd specs are as follows (I think): GVWR: 5,710 Curb Weight: 4,515 (includes full gas tank, but no driver or passengers) Door sticker: "Weight of cargo and occupants should never exceed 950" I'm confused. According to the door sticker, the payload is 950. But according to how...

    T4R Transmission Fluid Servicing (sealed & non-sealed)

    Haven't driven it yet. I used genuine Toyota WS fluid. Got it on eBay a lot cheaper than thru the dealer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    T4R Transmission Fluid Servicing (sealed & non-sealed)

    To clarify, I turned the vehicle on for 20ish seconds (until I drained about 2 quarts into a milk jug). Then I used the pumper to add 2 quarts through the return line described above (rather than into the tranny fill hole). The piece of hose attached to my pumper fit perfectly inside the tranny...

    T4R Transmission Fluid Servicing (sealed & non-sealed)

    I ended up just using a 'regular' fluid transfer pump. Like the one you get from AutoZone for $10 that you use to fill your differentials. Functions like a soap dispenser. Worked fine. I exchanged exactly 12 quarts. I intentionally overfilled about 1/2 quart and then let it exit via the overfill...

    T4R Transmission Fluid Servicing (sealed & non-sealed)

    Hey all, about to change the tranny fluid on my sealed '04 V8. I'm going to do the "flush" method where you pull the hose off the tranny cooler. My question is this... Do you NEED to add fluid to the fill hole in the tranny, or, alternatively, can you add the fluid to the rubber hose you...

    Behind grille LED light bar install (PICS)

    31.5" bar. Light blockage is minimal and not noticeable. Maybe 10%??? Didn't increase engine temp. I have a ScanGauge and my engine temp maintained 194 degrees before and after the install. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Have $$$, need factory add-on options!!!

    Thanks for all the replies. No, not necessarily required to purchase from a particular dealer, but the family/friends discount available through the local dealer owner seemed to be an attractive deal. Test drove an XC90 today and as some of you noted, the creature comforts on it are...

    Have $$$, need factory add-on options!!!

    I wasn't sure if that was an option or how much it would cost. Obviously it is incredible overkill, but it would bump up the resale value down the road This is a situation where anything less than $50k will go to Uncle Sam. So might as well spend it because you're not 'saving' the unused...

    I know. I call it the stealership. Recently got a quote of $700 to change an 02 sensor. Thanks but I'll do it myself and save $600 in 20 minutes.
