What have you done to your 1st gen Tundra today?

Torque app on my android HU...the two smaller gauges are the two different transmission temps...thanks to @KarmaKannon for posting the link to the trans pids last year...

That's cool. What's the normal range for vacuum?

 

What temp do they get up to driving. 150 is the highest I’ve seen


And that was me trying to get it hot

 

Temp gauge appears to be set for Centigrade which would make it 190 F ?

 

Good catch, that usually what our 4runner is at, pretty close to the coolant temp usually

 

Mine seems to be in good ol Merida measurements.


Well according to my scan tool vs the scan gauge

 

I ran mine pretty hard and o don't think I saw over 145.

 

I've seen mine hit 190 on a hot day, at a red light. But normally it's a lot lower.

 

I'm pretty sure mine hit 205ish pulling a TT last summer up some grades.

 

Haven't driven it yet....will let you know tomorrow...

 

Nope, set to F...coolant is on C though..

 

Oh, ok....coolant and temp to me are the same but that's just me and ~190 F matches my coolant Temp !

 

I stripped mine too, had to get a 3/4 inch nut welded on there to get it off.

Some recommendations i got was to try a torx bit in there too but mine wouldn’t budge.

 

There’s a Lexus part you ca buy off the front diffs of a 2012 is350. It has a hex head and fits our front diffs

How did you check it? I think my measurement is at the pan because it is very constant from what I recall.

 

finally got on the LED bandwagon.
My cargo lights have never worked since I got the truck. Finally got a Round Tuit & bought some new bulbs. Went LED as the original bulbs had scorched the housing, hoping LED is cooler enough to close that issue.

One bulb worked, one didn't - but then I remembered some learning I did here & rotated the non working & viola - fixed!
Good thing I got one right or I would have been chasing fuses & …. bullet dodged.

 

I'm going to start my HID retrofit. For those who have done it, can I align the lights while they are sitting on the bench, or do they need to be installed in the truck?

 

You can align them on the bench/jig, as long as you mark your level and steps on the wall with the old bulbs. It’s then opening them and getting them back on the jig exactly the same that can be tough or throw your alignment off

 

Started removing the front suspension to make room for the frame repairs.. Every bolt has been fighting me the whole way.

 

With The torque app. I believe it’s the pan temp? But I’m not sure. Now that I have the information for both I’m going to delete the gauge I have and load the two new ones and see about it. I could be remembering it wrong as well since it was last summer.

 

Both Pan and Torque Converter Outlet temps are available...Torque with GPS on this HU with GPS is addictive....so many settings to play with. No need for speedo correction when I have GPS speed front and center...

Two different Trans temps are bottom center immediately parking after my 8 mile city drive to the gym at 6AM, i.e. no traffic



Here's the PID's:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For sensor 1 (Pan Temp):

OBD2 Mode and PID:
21D9
Long Name:
Transmission Fluid Temperature 1
Short Name:
TFT 1
Minimum Value:
0.0
Maximum value:
220.0
Scale factor:
x1
Unit Type:
°F (there is a degree symbol in Torque)
Equation:
((((E*256)+F) * (7/100) – 400)/10)

Nice set up. Anyway you can double confirm your temps using another device like a laser? For validity purposes.

 

Not at the moment....

 

I made it much easier to work out of my 2002 SR5 by installing a high wedge ARE cap.

 

roll out floor & you're living the high life. Nice.

 

If you remind me, I can check my pan temp and compare that to my Torque Pro app to see how accurate it is.

 

I’m sure emptylord will be able to compare his with one of the fancy scanners he uses.
Also; I hate laser temp guns with a passion. Our light bulb changers use them to check air temps coming out of registers/fan coils. They are extremely inaccurate for air temp readings and questionable for surface readings

 

What I'll add and you may know this but the face of the headlight assembly has a indented dimple about size of BB. It represents the center point of our halogen bulbs. That needs to be your reference when positioning the center of projector. Also, the projector needs to be perpendicular to ground but should be able to adjust after temporary install. I'm sure those that have installed possibly understand what I just said ?
Doing as good as one can, it's a an easy thing to get off just a tad. Mine below needed to be adjusted just a smidge on passengers side but was easy peasy after the fac
t.

 

That's a beautiful shell. How much did you get 'er for?
