I don't know about them being rated because of the wheels. There are 3 different types of wheels for this truck and all of the psi recommendations are the same.
Car and truck designers work with tire manufacturers during the design and testing phase of a vehicle. Together they come to a conclusion as to what should be the recommended tire pressure for your vehicle for maximum safety and intended performance.
I don't think it's necessarily "bad" to have slightly higher air pressure in your tires. I think the recommendations are normally on the cautious side. They cater more toward comfort than toward performance.
Over inflating the car/truck rating doesn't even come close to rounding the tires.
My tires, even at 34 psi, still bulge at the bottom indicating that the entire tread of the tire is still in contact with the road.
Thanks for the responses.
I think the tab that goes into the footman's loop is fine, I'm not concerned about that, it's just I don't really want to drill holes in the tailgate, and add that loop there.
I guess it's not a big deal, and I'd probably get over it, but, it's just another place for rust to build up, and also adds a place for something to get caught on when the tailgate is down.
Has anyone tried putting in a set of JBA Headers in their 05+ tacos? How many horses would they beef up?
You want real power? Look into the URD supercharger (urdusa.com). Maybe someday TRD will get off there [non-permissible content removed] but until then the only real option is URD. The rest are high priced mods with minisicule return.
I fully expect it to be a hassle as I'm sure they will tell me some BS about it being 'within specifications', but I hope not.
I used to have a BMW that had a problem with both front power seats sliding forward about an inch under heavy breaking, with a loud 'clunk' when they stopped. The service manager at BMW gave me the 'within specifications' excuse. Uh, right..
I drilled the holes for the metal footman bracket(loop) as per template provided. Then with kids watercolor paint brush I prime painted the holes. Then inserted plastic screw-holders the same as one puts in sheetrock. Looks and works great. Easy to back out the screws to remove the footman bracket.
As far as adding more power, I decided to try the JBA headers. Hopefully that would increase my HP n not tamper with the fuel economy. I'm 100% pleased with my truck and I have lots of projects planned for it.
The short bed doublecab and the access cab are both the exact same length. It should be easy to find an exhaust system for your truck unless you have a regular cab or a double cab long bed.
My driving conditions are 70-75mph on the interstate which includes mountain climbing here in the northeast. Predominant gas grade is 87 octane and my A/C is always 'on'.
Just call that a REFINED GROWL. Keeping a steady speed on the highway does help optimize mpg. As in setting the speed control. Keep a truckin'.
Make sure you get the stickers off as soon as possible so no fading occurs!!!
It was warm out and I started them with my fingernail and then grabbed it and pulled at a 45 degree angle and the sticker peeled right off. I used a little goo be gone on the glue to clean that off.. Make sure you clean well after and wax the area.... It looks 100 times better... Can't wait until I get my Bars for the front...
Love the truck..
Either way, they might have banged your lugs on with a impact gun and overtourqued them. I bet they warped your rotors creating the "harmonic" (fancy word for warped).
Check the setting, if it's over 85 ft-lb. Take your truck back to wherever they did the rotation and make them pay for new rotors.
I dont have a way of checking the torque setting, however, I will speak with the dealer and express my concerns to them.
Would a resurface of the rotor be sufficient or do I need to have them replace them altogether? The truck is a year old with only 9000 miles on it and I plan on keeping it for the long haul.
I got the rigid folding cover from Fold-A-Cover for my 6 ft bed(V6 Auto Access Cab).To see a moving display online, go to www.Fold-A-Cover.com No drilling required and mine is water tight in driving rain, snow, and occasional car wash. Expensive, but worth it. After seeing the online moving display, and if further interested contact the manufaturer Fold-A-Cover for a factory direct price which thy have allowed in event there is no dealer franchise near you.
It only seems to happen after the truck has been running for a while, and I've parked it.
I just wonder if this is normal or not, as I have never seen a leak, nor have I had to add any fluid.
Could it be that I'm just smelling pressure relief to the reserve tank or something?
TRD STICKERS:
Oh, and about the TRD stickers, I used a hair dryer to help remove mine, and then the goo gone, as someone else stated. By the way, my truck is 1.5 years old, and that's when I removed the stickers...no fading at all on the paint.
