    Came across some interesting articles on another tundra forum. I've read about the zero point calibration and the yaw washer mod. After my 5" lift and 35's, I have not experienced having my vsc kick on however I do feel like the truck got somewhat sluggish and I literally see my fuel gauge dropping in real time (slight exaggeration). Not that I didn't expect a slight power loss and slight mpg loss after the lift and tires, but if doing the zpc and yaw sensor trick would help bring back a bit of power and help restore some mpg, why not give it a shot?

    With that said, can someone post up some pointers or how to as to going about doing these 2 mods? I'm sure it would help others as much as it would help me. Thanks! Happy Friday!

    Not sure what the yaw sensor trick is but I highly doubt messing with the yaw or doing a zpc is going to bring back any power. Gotta re-gear.

    It is recommended you do the ZPC. I did it with a 3" lift just for ease of mind. It might help alittle with acceleration but the mpg is probably from the new tire weight. I did the paper clip method and was super easy.

    And its either the ZPC or the washer method, not both.

    future plans in particular order:

    re-gear.
    37s possibly.
    coachbuilder add-ons.
    DAP tuning would be nice.
    chrome delete everything.
    clazzios.
    exhaust.
    headlight retros or spyders.

    for now atleast... mods never end :(
