What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Weird, I got mine for well under 200. But that was like a year ago. Prices may have changed like most things... I wouldn't have paid 300 for a throttle controller.

 

I'm seeing the HikeIt X9 for $179 and $149 for the X5.

 

Nice same idea

 

Look at those fancy braided hoses! If someone gave me those for free I wouldn’t even swap them, since it was such an unbelievable PITA getting the hoses back off the separator once they were on!

 

This question is probably highly debated like anything else on this forum, but how much benefit do these really give on an NA engine?

 

question...if you collect a pint of oil/whatever in your bypass thing....are you now 1 pint low in motor oil? or is it just moisture?



i ask because I don't burn any oil. even after the blower install.

 

A great question. I guess to answer that, we would have to know where that oil would go if there was no can?

 

The oil ‘in mist form’ goes into your intake.
This can cause issues with deposits on the valves and runners. More so with direct injection engines. The 5.7 is port injection so fuel tends to clean the runners.
that being said I don’t think the catch can -can hurt anything, I’m sure it helps keep the system cleaner in the end.

 

Well, i guess if there was no can it would get sent back to the intake manifold/supercharger snout and pushed into the intake valves and ultimately be burned off. I think it’s just an inconsequential amount of oil as far as reading it on a dip stick between changes. I more got one being supercharged so the rotors and heat exchanger don’t get coated in oil, and I read there is more blow by with forced induction. Those oils/vapors also negatively effect the fuel detonation and therefore could cause reduced power and efficiency if it gets a big slug of it on a harder pull…so “they” say anyway lol

 

It definitely makes sense for a SC truck, i can see the benefit, plus with the added pressure of the system.

I cant really see it hurting anything in any application, assuming the install was done correctly, unless the truck is tuned so specifically that the extra length those hoses add would add some kind of calculation error of the truck.

 

Can you share some details on your wheel and tire setup?

 

Just got

$60 Motorola MA1 Wireless Android Auto Car Adapter - Instant Connection Using Google-Licensed Bridge Technology from Smartphone to Screen - USB Type-A Plug-in - Secure Gel Pad

Motorola MA1 wireless android auto dongle, going to give it a try.

 

Mine cam in last week. Sometimes I use it, sometimes not.

 

I think I'm going to give it to my wife, I realize I charge my phone majority of the time while driving and plugged in for android auto.

 

For my personal use it caught about 1/8 full of water/oil, so for what it’s worth I said it works.

 

and, how do you like it? reviews are hit and miss. i haven't been able to pull the trigger on something that may or may not work

 

Recently bought a new to me 2017 Tundra Limited. I have always wanted one of these and decided to pull the trigger. Love the truck and decided to start doing some things to make it mine.

I started with the center console organizer since the previous one was looking rough.

Then I added the smaller antenna which actually killed most of my FM signal (good thing I don’t use it).

Then I added the ProClip mount for my iPhone.

Today I got in and installed my wireless charging pad for the center console.

I’ve been going through this forum and trying to figure out what other mods I would like to do. I went and bought some flat black paint and I’m going to black out the emblems and the grill to start to get rid of all this chrome. I’ll keep posting as I move on to track my progress.

 

It works great for me phone through my fairly thin otterbox

 

Welcome from TX, and congrats on the truck.

 

Welcome from Phoenix, post a full picture of your truck when you get a chance.

 

Ordered the ICS dash mount. Adjusted the kings to raise the front a bit in preparation for 37s.

 

I put bilstein 5100’s in the front finally. Do I need new UCA’s etc? I hear a humming in my steering now. I’ve had trucks, never lifted

 

Standard rule of thumb is anything less than 3 inches and all you need is an alignment.

 

cool, thank you!

 

Yeah no worries.

In case you didn't know. Do a search in here on 5110's and you'll have reading material for days. https://www.tundras.com/forums/suspension.19/

 

Not as smooth as others but I like it the best.



I bought two of them years ago. Red / black. Forgot I had the black one and just found it a few days ago.

Tyger running boards

 

Lunchtime Laser-wash! I really dislike road salt.

 

I went without UCA’s when Installed Toytecs and I am lifted 3”. Is it required? No and I was able to get my alignment within specs however i recently upgraded to JBA uppers and was able to get more caster which also corrected a slight tire rub that I had in the drivers side while reversing. So not required but it makes a difference.
