Somewhere on this forum I read an article that fully discussed the lubrication of the lower control arm alignment adjusters on third generation 4wd trucks before they seize in place from water and salt. I looked all over an cannot find the article. I thought that I book marked them but I was...

I installed this on my 2018 TRD Off Road Tacoma about three months ago. The quality was Borla throughout, except for the outlet on the muffler, which was out of round, preventing the insertion of the tailpipe. However, this defect on the part of Borla allowd me to get the exhaust system for...

I got around the problem by using an electric fuel pump situated just in front of the fuel tank. That way the pressurized line resisted vapor lock a lot better than the mechanical fuel pump.

I use the USB to charge my phone on my trips to WV. No matter how much I use my phone, it is always fully charged at the end of the day.

A lot of the people on this forum have never driven a vehicle with a carburetor, so they have no experience with vapor lock, since it doen't exist in a fuel injected vehicle that is operating properly

The fact that it happens mostly in hot weather makes me think you are losing fuel pressure after shutting the truck off and the fuel (which contains a % of alcohol) boils and gives you a slight case of vapor lock. I'd get your fuel pressure tested after the truck sits for a bit.

If the engine spins over at a normal rate, the 24 F battery is plenty to spin a 4 liter engine. Does this problem only happen after the truck sits a while and isn't used, like a few hours while you are at work or over night?

Knowing Toyota, just spark plugs.

I'd go with injectors leaking after you shut the truck off an/or the fuel pump check valve leaking, which drops the pressure in the fuel line to your injectors. When the pressure drops, the fuel boils, compounding the trouble. Easy to check with the proper adapters and a pressure gauge.

Thank you for the reply. Hopefully my truck won't need the computer hookup in order to work. Thanks again for the information.

What series engine is in your truck? Mine (a 2018) came with a 2GRFKS. I ask because sometimes some series of engines are plagued by certain problems. In general tho, with 100K plus miles it could be leaky injectors after you shut the truck off, low compression, weak fuel pump pressure, worn...

By what I have read, some vehicles have to activate using techstream and others don't. Mine has the keyless entry. Bought my kit in April, blew out my rotator cuff of my right arm that weekend. It will be a while before I get to install my kit. PS You are quite welcome. The website of the...

That's because we aren't in the same league.

I thought a rhetorical was a nautical form of measurement.

Before you hang the exhaust under your truck, trial fit the muffler to the front and rear pipe. My muffler had the outlet pipe slightly out of round, which made it difficult to slide the tail pipe in. A 6 inch C clamp with minimal pressure on the pipe brought it back to round and everything...

If you're looking at the Borla, don't forget to order the extra piece of straight pipe if you have the 4 door truck and 6 foot bed. Also price shop, as prices vary greatly. I bought mine from Jegs, as it had the best price at the time.

Except for the K&N air filter and the TRD air box, my truck is bone stock. I rigged a pressure tap for the exhaust at pipe flange just forward of the muffler. It read 16-20 inches of mercury (average). I checked at 3K, 4K, 5K an 6K rpm. The higher pressure was at higher rpm. After the Borla...
