I can confirm the RCI's work well. I drilled a couple extra holes and made a few modifications just to make sure the plates are secure. They are very heavy and needed it. One thing I loved about the RCI was the emergence of the cat protectors. My kit didn't come with them originally so I had...
Definitely look through loki's content. I have a Bullydog through 5Star, and it's done well for me. 5star has been easy to get new tunes from and it's worked out well. The only issue is when Ford decides to update the PCM strategy code, and the tuner no longer works, till 5star updates the...
I liked the idea of the trans pan, I just know it wouldn't fit with my skid plates. One thing that has noticeably helped mine was the 170 degree SPD thermostat.
That thing is pretty insane. Though I wonder, with stock turbos and pipes, how much of a difference would this make vs. the nearly direct replacement with something like the Mishimoto intercooler I put in. I love the Mishimoto and it was certainly far easier than this thing looks. Interested...
not sure if it works the same on the 25-26's, but forscan let's you run the audio system tests as well, look for open circuits, etc. it helped me troubleshoot some issues.
I'm not sure if it would help but I've also had weird experiences on these with short term battery disconnects. My advice would be to always unhook the battery, wait ten minutes or so before reconnecting. Sort of time for every cap to discharge and do a full power down of everything, then...
Then I'm sure you know these forums are often filled with 2/3rds complaints (just like my history on here) and if there were lots of these motors just flat out dying at 15k miles, we'd hear about it. But hey, Toyota is still replacing motors for essentially that outcome, guess maybe it's too...
Sadly I have to more look at the fact that it's a rental and who knows if in 15k miles its even had an oil change. we very rarely hear of completely dead 4th and 5th gen motors. that much i can be positive about.
I will tell you that for me, 90% of the time if I "top it off" I will get back fires. And man it's loud when it happens. I quickly learned on these not to top it off. when it clicks, i'm done.
