Gen 1 Toyota Tundra

[06 SB]

One more small thing. Both my Gen 1 Tundra trucks had a creaky dash. It was worse in the winter. Those things can drive me nuts. My solution was to buy 1/2" Caulk Saver at Home Depot and stuff it up under the dash by the windshield. Use a wooden spatula to get it tucked in nicely. It worked on both trucks.

Do you recommend the bypass kits proactively or just wait until the vehicle throw the relative code? I've looked into this a bit before, but kinda forgot about it

I bypassed my 05 Sequoia before it threw a code. When the SAIS goes, you can go into limp mode, which can be a major pain depending on where you are. I found a private seller on the Tacoma forum that also sells it for the 4.7, was under $50 a few years back. Hewitt, iirc, makes a vg one too, as probably do several others.

I have the Hewitt device in a bookmark somewhere. I have read that they can go into limp mode on you. I have a 05 4Runner with the UZ V8.
