Basically, they all come down to this: 1) When my truck’s fuel gauge shows “E”, I’ve actually got quite a few gallons left in the tank. What gives? The big reason — the fuel gauge sending unit is fairly low-tech. There’s a [...] ...

2007-10-17 07:27:49

Nearly 79% of survey respondents have NOT filed a complaint with Toyota. Amazingly, this problem seems to be under-reported by a factor of five. We’re not sure why people haven’t chosen [...] ...

2007-10-11 18:09:09
In response to some questions about our last Tundra Tailgate post, we’ve done some more investigating, and we think we’ve figured out how why you should never drive with your Tundra’s tailgate unsecured. 1.

Based on our sales projections, Toyota will sell approximately 205k Tundra trucks this year. That’s more than a 60% increase in sales over 2006. Clearly, the Tundra has been an unmitigated success for Toyota. Toyota’s success doesn’t show any signs of slowing down either.

Toyota Tundra Bed Bounce: Owners Survey
2007-09-22 20:33:50
When we received Toyota’s response to our bed bounce email we realized a few things. In no particular order, here’s what we think: 1. Toyota can’t officially acknowledge the problem until they’re prepared to act. 2. Until the current owner community publicizes the problem, Toyota has no reason to acknowledge it. 3. There is no independent data to [...] ...

The modern internal combustion engine is, first and foremost, a pump. It pumps in an air/fuel mixture, and it pumps out power, heat, and combustion byproducts. If you want to improve the efficiency of any pump, one method is to remove any restrictions placed on intake or output. When it comes to most engines, that [...] ...

New US Army Diesel Hybrid: Fast, Quiet, Gas $aver
2007-08-18 05:14:47
Here’s a trivia fact: the U.S. Army 1st Armored Division uses approximately 600,000 gallons of fuel. A day. That’s enough fuel to fill-up all the Tundra’s sold in June 07′. It’s enough fuel to coat a standard football field in 17 inches of fuel (trying running a sweep in that mess). It’s also enough fuel to drive [...] ...
