WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO YOUR 3RD GEN TUNDRA TODAY?

There is no box with VF tuner, it’s all direct ecu/tcu flashing, and your vehicle logs every error code. This system sets off all kinds of codes during the flash so I’m absolutely certain they could tell as there is a log of codes. I can absolutely flash it back to OEM but I am assuming that “undetectable” is a fallacy.

 

Per VF Tuner

Looks like an OBD connection, close enough for me, lol. Just not something that stays installed?

Regardless, always that risk

 

the OBD is just a way to interface with a laptop for flashing. Easily removable and not needed once you’ve flashed everything so it’s not obvious unless you go looking through the code log. Unclear to me how long those are stored but if I can find them, I am sure dealers could too.

 

So whats the improvement?

 

Nice. Thanks

The VW realm I was in for a long time had a ECU modification flag called TD1.
If you altered anything on the ECM it tripped that and was non reversible

 

I’ll have dyno numbers tomorrow

 

Ya, I thought about using some super aggressive sticky double sided Velcro but erred on the side of more secure.

Just need to buy a CANM8 interface and reader to link my new light bar in the Pro grille to the high beams.....

 

I like the silver mustache on yours.

 

How is the paint and plastics holding up going through a car wash every 3-4 days? Hearing that makes me cringe, lol

 

5100's in process. Perch installed at position #4; +1.8"





Question to anyone that has installed 5100's:
What the hell is this washer for?
The hole diameter is way too small for the piston rod.
It does fit over the top hat studs, but can't go there.

 

Are those the Amazon spring compressors? How did they hold up?

 

Yep, pretty stout.
Working well.
Granted, have only used these once.

Good to know. I bought one under the "Shankly" brand but looks exactly the same. Havent used it yet though

 

I have the exact same compressor, works very well.

 

Installed ARK front splash guards today. Easy install & they fit well & look good.

 

Dangit! I was hoping someone would say they suck and I wouldn't have to buy them.

 

Back to the garage.

Time to do some sketchy shit, doo-dah, doo-dah.
Hope I get away with it, all the doo-dah day.

 

The washer is for under the bumpstop, it is a spacer to raise the bumpstop.

 

THANK YOU!!

 

Are those not good? They are free

Does that use all factory holes or do you need to drill any?

 

Got my new shoes today... Cooper Stronghold AT in 295/70/R18
And did the Cornfed 1.5 front leveling kit at the same time.
Excuse the dirt... mudseason here... and snow coming tomorrow...

 

My engine arrived at the dealership and Monday it’s reborn after 51,000 miles

 

Dave - I'm about to pull the trigger on the bumper - do you see anything that would keep me from removing that Mid-tube ? I'd plan to plasma cut /grind and re-coat it.....Did you do the IM lights in or something else ?
Look forward to hearing how your Motor swap goes and hopefully positive feedback on the new smoothness...

 

No I don’t think so, it appears to just support the lights.

These are Strands Lighting Division and wow they pop both night and day

 

Installed RC fender liners on my break. Don't mind the tire shine splatter.

 

All factory locations, very easy install. 5 min. Per side.

 

Just added Mogul mode whatever an actual Mogul is. Wish they’d add protester mode to these things.
