This is a very easy, kid-friendly hike. Tamolitch (Blue) pool is very close by, but we decided not to do it due to time constraints. Nonetheless, the kids enjoyed this adventure taking in the misty waterfalls in addition to the cool breezy Oregon weather. Stay adventuring.

Pittman Outdoors Airbedz | Will it fit the Tacoma?
The “ECO” light is actually just a warning that you’re burning out your VTEC oil sensors. I don’t know why they made it green. It should be BRIGHT RED AND FLASHING. Like “WARNING. YOU’RE TRADING A FEW MILES PER GALLON FOR A FAT REPAIR BILL.” 😂
Hey bro, I just need some advice/recommendation. In December, I'm going to move from San diego California to Melbourne, Florida. I have a tacoma 2016 trd sport. I'm going to be towing my wife's car, a toyota camry. What type of tune should I get for my taco?
I'd go with any of these current tunes on the market. They have all evolved from older file tunes and are tops right now ie. CVC, OTT, etc.
I have 08 accord with 190k i cant notice the vcm activating when its on ECO , i also have 2010 crosstour and i can feel and hear the engine vibrating at crusing speed with ECO light on, i think im going to install it on the crosstour for now, question is, does the engine run hotter with vcm delete ?? Thank you !!
Engine will run at the same operating temperature. The temp gauge will show it running just a tad lower, which is what tricks the VCM to not activate.
Do you have to put it on jacks or is there enough room underneath?
I just jacked up on the passenger side, enough for me to crawl under.
Chan is the man! Love my CVC tune, been about three years now all good🤙
That's great to hear from a longer term user. Love mine so far too.
Another mechanic not discussing whether to leave the pre-filter on or take it off. It’s some thing that gets ignored and so many DIY videos.
Being in California, I am not removing it due to possible smog reasons. Otherwise, removing or leaving is solely ones opinion until someone makes a video showing microparticle infiltration and performance gains.
How is the muzzler working for you. I have a 2015 honda pilot. Its in the shop right now getting the rings, plugs yada, yada. Thanks for making this video.
So far so good! 3 oil changes worth of miles in and still running like a top. Still with some oil consumption but much better than before the install. Cheers.
@@dadaking Did your lights go off or did you have to get them reset? I was looking at the same one you got as well as the VCMTuner. I also read about using Valvoline Restore & Protect Full Synthetic Motor Oil SAE 0W-20. Please keep us posted on your journey.
@@JohnnysTrainVideos I'm not sure which lights you are referring to. I don't remember having to reset lights but if you have to, just grab a code scanner
That's honestly one of the best instructional videos I've ever seen. Bravo, my dude.
Thank you, ninja 🥷
Just bought a 14 Accord 86000. Is there a difference between the S-VCM and the VCMuzzler II?
I understand with the muzzler, you have to pick and choose resistance levels. With S-VCM, it eliminates that step. From research, both equally do the job. Cheers.
@@dadaking sorry, also which sparks and coil you rec?
@@26oreos I like NGK iridium for plugs and try to find denso for coil replacements. Cheers.

Wait...did the Subaru make it up?...u cut that part out.
My fault. Yes, he did make it out. Heavy foot on the right pedal
Nice Video! Stingers UP!
😆 thanks! 🐝
Thank you for this video. I had no idea how to change the battery in my 2021 Toyota Tacoma key fob.
You're welcome! Glad it helped!
Good decision to disable the VCM. I plan on doing the same on my new 2025 Honda Ridgeline. Thank you for sharing your experience.
You're welcome! It's a game-changer.
Is this compatible with 2025 ridgeline? Heard it gives lot of error codes…
Nice job, I am going to install this fix on my odyssey. The part I got does not hook to the battery? So I'll see how it goes Thanks
You'll love the difference
The air mattress you show here is 35½ inches wide, but the back seat of the Tacoma is a real tight fit. There are other ones on Amazon that are more like 31½ inches wide and that would probably fit the Tacoma much better. They're a great thing to have in the car in case of an emergency when you'll have to sleep in the car, just make sure you measure the inside of your back seat area and pick an air mattress that would be a good fit.
I only bought it because it said mid-sized truck. But I totally agree with you 👊🏽
I bet there is oil in spark plug cylinder tube #1. Get ready for the rear valve cover gasket and spark plug tube oil seal ring changes.
Nearing 200K, I know that's going to happen sooner than later
Smooth af transition!!
Broken hand ouch 🤕
no ya didnt 😂
This is the funniest thing I've seen in a minute. That girl hit that note😂
She had two confident and careless should’ve moved behind the net faster😂
She's on point with that song. Perfect tone.
What's the chances. There is a net and everything.
Pretty high when you're as slow as her and don't move the hand back
I have a Rav4, I normally drive it about 6k miles per year. Should I replace the oil every 12 months or 6 months ?
Replace every 12 months in your case
😂😂😂😂😭bro
I don't really get the rest of the video with the Toyota Tacoma
Called a hook transition. Put something in the beginning to get your attention than transition to what you actually wanted people to see
Perfect!! Thanks
Glad it helped
Next time move quicker dummy
Should have caught it ☝️🤓
You can slmost hear it break.
Gotta hand it to her, one hell of a swing.
that is why men need to be involved
Save a couple quarts of gasoline, burn a couple quarts of oil. May as well install the muzzler and be done with it - for those who haven't yet.
😂😂 Good one! 😂😂
😁😄
Was it worth it. Did it improve handling n body roll?
Worth it for offroading and whoops moments. Bodyroll on the streets, not so much.
Did your pilot shake when it had that p3497 code?
No, I don't recall. I later found out that I was low on oil. Had oil consumption! Disabling VCM is the key. Check out my other video.
@dadaking Thanks bro I appreciate it, and will do
Nice tip thank you so much. I really use it.
Honda decided that their vehicles lasted too long so they pulled this S**T!
Preach it! Might just get back into a 90s Honda 😏
Why did he wait till 8000 miles though it's supposed to be done at 5000 miles.
Because technically you CAN wait till almost 10,000miles. Most dealerships will be lazy and tell you to do you oil change at 10000 (which would be your second car appointment). First car appointment usually only covers tire rotations/alignments and battery check. BUT, if you are car enthusiast, and you really want to take care of your vehicle, I would recommend doing the oil change at 5,000miles because there is alot of grinding and tearing on metal components in the engine when you first break in your vehicle and those bits and pieces can end up in your oil. Better to drain that shit sooner than later. But if you do wait until 10,000miles, there isn’t really any harm especially if you have the Hybrid version because the hybrid tends to be more conservative with oil usage. Cheers
Ranks right up there as one of the most helpful awning videos I have watched, and believe me I have watch several the past few days. Well actually more than several HA! Cheers!
Appreciate ya 👊🏽
What size wheels are those
17x8.5, -10 offset
2021 Tacoma have no grease fitting
You can also disable VCM by getting engine to throw an ECL code.
Bye bye diamond back. What a beauty the RLD is 😲😍
It sure is 😊
How can it be underrated if it’s literally called “valley of the gods?”
I have a 2013 Pilot EX-L 2WD with (almost) 120K on it. Was my wife's car, but I "inherited" it when we upgraded her SUV (funny that her "upgrade" - 2017 BMW X5 PHEV - was in the shop for two weeks waiting for a part and she had to drive the Honda...but I digress). I put the S-VCM on about a year and a half ago. Best decision I made for this vehicle. I do most of the maintenance myself on the vehicle. No excessive oil consumption (knock on wood), so I'm hoping I caught that before VCM could do its damage. Also immediately noticed better/more consistent throttle response - which should be expected since it's now working like a V6 should. I saw no appreciable change in mpg, either. One thing you may want to check, if you haven't already. The original inlet hose from the throttle body to the filter box will often crack with age, causing misreads by the MAF sensor. You won't always get a CEL from it, but it does affect how the vehicle operates. For me, the crack was on the bottom of the hose, so it wasn't readily noticeable until I changed the air filter. Just an FYI. Not sure how you've kept that white paint so good. Pilots are notorious for bad paint; the white ones in particular. I live in Florida, so our Silver paint is baking and starting to look pretty bad. If you're not already on it, there's a FB group for 2nd Gen Pilots that's pretty informative. You should join if you're on FB.
Just ordered one of these right now - wondered why my ‘23 ridgeline with 8,000 miles on it felt strange
It’s not a voltage issue. Your Jackery only outputs 2.4 amps at ~12v when it needs closer to 10 amps.
Thank you
👊🏽
