    Update: 5W-30 & Heavier Recommended RoTW

    Sorry I’m not a koolaid drinking Toyota fanboi 24/7 🤷‍♂️. You sure it wasn’t koolaid you spit out? GM does do some great stuff if you can put the cup down for a second.

    Towing with a 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser

    No luck. But there are like 12 lock/unlock tables for different conditions and just driving around town I was having trouble getting the transmission temp above 150F. I wonder if it was stuck in "cold shift" mode and I simply edited the wrong table. I did notice when I drove to Boise in late...

    Update: 5W-30 & Heavier Recommended RoTW

    My understanding is there is now a class action lawsuit against GM because the 0W-40 will result in lower fuel economy than the 0W-20 :rofl: Could throw reduced HP and torque in there too.

    I believe GM's engineering is quite strong, their weakness has always been the management.

    Im betting money GM's next gen V8 is DOHC. I think they squeezed all the juice they could out of the pushrod motor and now all they are getting is seeds. They already have the test bed, the LT6 and LT7 in the C8 Corvette.

    Well, I just flashed a tune to lock up the TC in 4th gear. To late tonight to take it for a spin but I will try tomorrow and report back with more details.

    How much caster do I need?

    He should try to get it into the stock caster range. If the LCA's have enough adjustment range, you could try to set the UCA's to F or G and see if you can pull the tires forward a ways.

    How much caster do I need?

    "I'm getting a ton of rubbing on the fender liner when fully stuffed with my 35x12.50s & 25mm offset." Um, yeah, I bet you are. At +3.0 I almost wonder if they had to bring the LCA backwards. Do you even need more positive caster? Or could it have been aligned by adding caster using the LCA...

    I was just looking in VFTuner and it looks like it enters transmission hot mode when the ECT is >98C and Trans fluid temp is >125C.

    16+ LX Bumper chop

    Does it concern anyone that it looks like the the mounts for the d-rings are bolted on with some regular old allen head bolts?

    Towing with a 200-series Toyota Land Cruiser

    This is slowed down. I was doing 55-60mph in 65-70mph posted zones because I didnt want the transmission temps consistently above 230F. And yes, the tires are like 8% larger, but that doesnt mean I could have run in 5th gear had the stock tires been on. I was in 4th, bordering on needing to be...

    Tinker's latest brutal review of LC250

    I just want to go on the record and say that I don’t care for the new 4Runner. Or the 5th gen. The 4th gen V8 was the only one I would have bought but I could get a GX cheaper and so that got written off the list real fast. The 4Runner, IMHO, is a jack of some trades and master of none. And...

    Tinker's latest brutal review of LC250

    If you are planning on spending any money on your GX, the approach angles can be easily solved with a bumper. Thats said, gotta pay to play with the TTV6 and eKDSS. The twin intercooler exchangers take up space and swaybar is front mounted on the GX. What are you gunna do to fix the tiny gas...
