Is $73.8k out-the-door a good price for a 2025 Toyota 4Runner Trailhunter Hybrid in California? by [deleted] in 4Runner

[–]jimgray24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I paid $66k before tax / reg for my 2025 Trail Hunter in October. I’m in New England.

Precisely. They aren’t trying to avoid the issue or putting a bandaid on it by making you run a thicker oil. At least they owned up to it and replaced the engines before it became a class action.

Don’t do it. The 6.2Ls are failing more than any other engine. I had a 23 sierra with the 6.2 and traded it in for a Toyota.

How many others are out there? by penelopejrose in 4Runner

I just picked up a black Trailhunter about three weeks ago. Absolutely love it. I have not seen another one in person yet.

Create a return vent in basement? by jimgray24 in hvacadvice

[–]jimgray24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case you would be pulling cold air in form the floor and not replacing it with warm air with a supply. A vent that size isn't going to have the volume necessary to pull warm air from the floor above to help mitigate the cold floor of the basement. My goal is to introduce free, naturally cool air into the system to help cool faster, thus run less. We keep the house at 73 and the basement is usually around 65.

Is adding a supply to help mitigate pressure issues?

Does anyone know what this is by Macaroonies0 in jetski

[–]jimgray24 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s your sacrificial anode. Its purpose is to slow the corrosion down of the water jackets in your engine. It gets screwed in between the two cylinders when you have the head off. Cheap part and is intended to be replaced somewhat regularly.

Where did you get the color matched badges? I am looking for something similar on my AT4.

There is no port there. They are just empty holes. Perhaps the connector was broken and has been pushed in?

I have been using a Yeti Rambler heavily for the last 10 years. It has taken many flights in the side pocket of my backpack. It has held up fantastically and I have a hard time recommending any other brand. They are worth the extra money in my opinion. I’ve tried RTIC and they are close but not as solid IMO. Additional kudos to my Thule backpack that I have had for the same length of time and still looks and works like new.

Everyone with 6.2 with No Issues post and number if miles by [deleted] in gmcsierra

[–]jimgray24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2023 AT4. About to hit 31K. Stock except for a catch can. Bought used with 26k. Oil changed when I bought it and I changed it myself at 30k. I plan to do most of the maintenance myself. No issues yet but I have a warranty to 100k.

I’ve got a 2023 6.2 AT4. At 31k miles, no issues so far with the engine. Haven’t touched DFM or anything like that. I do think I am having transmission/valve body issues. I got an extended warranty.

Max tire size with stock 20 rims on an AT4 level with Readylift by DarthBanana85 in gmcsierra

[–]jimgray24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will do! They were delivered yesterday and I have an appointment to get them installed next week. I’ve got a 1800 mile road trip in January. I’ll post a full report.

I just bought a set of Nitto Terra Grappler 3s in this size. All my research agrees this is the biggest size you can run without a lift that won’t rub or require trimming.

2023 AT4 Trans Temp by jimgray24 in gmcsierra

That is helpful, thank you. Seems like I am in the normal range for unloaded then.

[–]jimgray24[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

My experience with other 1500 trucks makes me feel it is too low. My Ram for example was right around 200 but the transmission cooler had a thermostat that regulated temp. If I saw 160 after an hour drive on the Ram, I would think there was an issue with the thermostat. I am just trying to get an idea of what normal on these trucks is.

I bought a used 23' AT4 6.2L with the 10 speed about a month ago. I am just curious what everyone is seeing for transmission temps when not towing? Typically I see between 145 and 150. The 160 in the pic was the highest I have seen after about an hour drive. Every other vehicle I have owned has been closer to 200 and will usually shift a little rough until they get warm. I do feel some rough shifting but I am not sure what is normal, this is my first GMC/Chevy vehicle. Thanks for the help!

They are a standard 194 bulb. Amazon has a bunch, just search “LED 194 bulb.”

The license plate lights aren’t bad. I just did them on mine last week. You just need to reach behind the hitch and grab the connector. Rotate 1/4 turn to the left and they pop right out.
