1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Do you trust her?

 

Mine is inaccurate. But consistently inaccurate. It's always about 1-1.5MPG optimistic.

Curious if correcting the speedometer would fix it.

 

Can doing this damage the vapor canister if you somehow overfill?

 

I'm not sure. I'd bet you could cause damage by repeatedly clicking to really top it off. Using the aforementioned method, I think the fuel level still isn't all the way to the cap, like there's still air in there for vapor pressure. IDK. I haven't had an issue.

 

I don’t know where they got it from, but my kids will eye ball the fuel gauge from the back seat and get all worried hahahah

 

Ah yes, my doctor has been bugging me about my next colonoscopy too.

 

Just filled up tonight, 176miles (+3.7% for 265s), 182.5/18.9gal = 9.65mpg.
Short commutes/and cold weather warm ups are killers

 

My last few fillups here, this is without correction for larger tires, so around 7% lower than actual? I forget the math.

 

And this is why my 98 Camry is the daily work commuter. I'd go in debt just paying for gas every week, hah.

 

4X4 tomorrow! We are finally getting a good rippin storm, 40-45mph winds, and right now it's coming down wet and heavy like a MFer.
Notice the 8-10 deg warm up as that wind comes over Lake Michigan and turns on the snow machine!

 

Jealous! Wish we had snow here.

 

I don't see any reason not to.
It plugs into the OBD2 and I manually input fuel amount from the pump. The scangauge estimates fuel consumption, sometimes it's a little off and I manually correct it, sometimes it on point. And with the truck on 33's, I can manually set a speed correction that seems to be pretty accurate, so I don't have to add 9.2%. It's definitely not perfect, but it's good enough for me.

 

Bigger tires?
You need to go into the settings and do the speed % correction, based on your % bigger tire size over stock. Only thing is it doesn't do decimals.for some reason. So 9% is as close as I can get to 9.2%.

 

Did you have to add a different sensor to get ATF temp? We all just have the idiot light right? Or can you just hook up to that sensor and get temp?
(Questions because I'm too lazy to research)

 

I did. But does the scangauge calculate the MPG estimates based off of the speed it gets from the OBDII, or from the value that you or I manually entered so we could see the real speed?

 

You have to imput a handful of numbers to get ATF temp to work- it's not plug and play. But the process is easy, takes 5 minutes and it works great afterwards. I really love my scangauge.

 

I may have appeared too excited haha. It's a mind game we play...
The cold is bearable, and it really forces the crazy people inside and quiets everything down a lot.
If it weren't for the salt... . So hey, Your truck will last longer with less exposure to salt

 

Trust me, there's plenty of salt here. Since we get less snow here in Milwaukee, things just get really icy instead. It seems like they're spreading salt all day, every day.

I'd rather have a ton of snow and a ton of salt than just a ton of salt.

 

Gotta program the xgauge. This one is for the A340 (00-04). Super easy.

Transmission Temperature (Degrees F)
TXD: 686AF101B4
RXF: 044105B40000
RXD: 2808
MTH: 00090005FFD8
NAM: ATF

 

I was under the impression it was the value entered. But I'd ask linear logic to be sure.

 

Who's linear logic? Now I'm curious.

 

The company that makes the scangauge.

I emailed them to get the trans temps xgauges for my 03 and 06. But some reason I can't find the email for my 06

 

I'll call em tomorrow.

 

Was at a bigbox hardware today and their Snow contractor was PRE salting, and HEAVY. That's when I knew it was getting serious I don't see them do that often.

 

Be safe Bro

My OBDLink MX+ shows the trans temps

 

I use fuelley. See the sig

 

Fuck $30 is enough for the virus for 2.5-3 days

 

Unfortunately for us 00-02 Tundra owners with the ISO 9141 OBD2 interface, the OBDLink MX+ doesn’t work for transmission temps, just the scangauge 2 due to someone’s ingenuity in figuring out an unofficial xguage code to get it to work.

 

Thanks man, It's looking like not more than a couple inches right now (TWSS). But every time I get to use the 4x4 I have a big grin. Mostly because this truck is the first I have had of my own with it. But secondly because I resurrected this truck and actually made it work... good in the feels.

My BlueDriver doesn't even show it as an input in live data...
funny story, I had been looking for a cheap device w/android 10 or newer (that's required) to just mount up for live data gauges. Wife gets a new phone, her old one A10e was android11 yay!!! But it would NOT connect, Complete buzzkill.
