    What did you do with your Taco today

    Installed borla exhaust, big difference. These things ought to come from the taco stand with this exhaust. Just a tad louder than stock, no drone at all, engine breaths and runs better and smoother.

    2017 V6 Underpowered.....

    My 19 is not a powerhouse by any means however it holds its own. Right now I run premium gas and a k&n air filter and it does real good. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get my borla exhaust installed, depending on how cold it is, which should help it a little more.

    2017 V6 Underpowered.....

    I'm of the opinion its all about gas mileage. The six speed automatic is basically a double overdrive trans. Fourth gear is 1:1 with 5th and 6th gear both being overdrive. The ram pro city I drive at work has a 9 speed in it and it is constantly shifting, after awhile you just get used to it and...

    oil change

    I understand youre concern about stretching the OCI however thats not me, I change my oil every 6 months, 5k/6k miles.

    oil change

    Youre workin on me BigMau, instead of ordering enough of my usual Amsoil to complete my next oil change I might have to give this rotella a try.

    Just Saw This.....

    My taco came from the taco stand and I have had no issues other than the pcs recall which I think was more a formality than anything else, haven't noticed any difference before vs after. Now supposedly a fuel pump recall but thats not an assembly issue, supposedly bad pumps from denso. I hate...

    What did you do with your Taco today

    Waiting on my borla exhaust, ordered it a week and a half ago, supposedly supposed to be here Monday. The weather all last week was beautiful, now its supposed to be cold all this week so it looks like its gonna be a cold weather install.

    Gas mileage

    Sounds good, but haven't we all heard that before. I was checking it out to see price and found that for tacoma's they only go to 2015, nothing newer. At $60 if they had availability for a newer truck might not be a bad thing to try.

    Catch Can/Oil Separator Install on my 16 (vid)

    I had one on my Ram hemi, strictly from recomendations of other privous and current hemi owners. I knew their purpose and how they worked before but never had one. The thing I found out is depending on the oil you use determines how much you will collect. Is gonna hurt yourr engine, no, is it...

    Frame Rust with Gen 3 Tacomas??

    Its not only carmax, anyone buying used needs to be cautious, a lot of used car lots are buying from auctions, mostly out of state. Thats how a lot of flood vehicles wind up back on the road. Due to different laws in different states the vehicle history doesn't always follow the vehicle. Buyer...

    More and more vehicles are using this kind of filter now. Regression.

    Tacoma Engine Oil

    It has a tendacy for the lifters or cam chain tensioner or something bleeding off when it sits overnight, will rattle a little on cold starts. Some oils are worse for it than others. Got the most noise out of valvoline and Pennzoil, did pretty decent on castrol. Either m1 or Amsoil illinated it.

    Insurance price and with who do you have

    Thats what ive heard about USAA, I really can't knock progressive as it was super simple to get my insurance straightened out when I moved from Ohio to NC. Ive never had a claim with them so I guess what I'm saying is they have never gave me an excuse to leave.

    Insurance price and with who do you have

    Another thing the effects youre insurance is youre credit rating. Every time my insurance is up for renewal I get this notice of all the factors they use to rate my insurance. Ive been with progressive for almost 20 years both car and house, 790's credit rating, 19 taco and 15 grand caravan...
