just a heads up.... if your or anyones gen 2 is getting poor gas mileage... change the air filter and you'll notice better gas mileage... i live paycheck to paycheck and i support 5 of us in my family... so im broke often lol last year and this year i noticed poor gas mileage... and simply changing the air filter immensely and immediately, improved gas mileage.. i stand by the wix brand filter and it helps better than the cheap ones... just an fyi 😉 God bless everyone here 😊 😃 also one of my cat converters is starting to get clogged so i noticed a loss of speed and horsepower, especially when i go uphill... so if anyone else has this problem... then know its the converter that is clogged... ... happy memorial day weekend to everybody reading this... 😉
I would suggest two treatments of Cataclean for the rig. Follow instructions and it will make a difference. I did this to our 14' 4Rnr and the short term fuel trims improved.
Yes but I am ending up regearing especially after bigger tires. Transmission temp getting too high on highway inclines. Recently popped rear ring and pinion. Lol
Im not lifted to 2.5 but im around 2 on stock tires. But i got 17mpg during a 750 mile roadtrip last weekend and then 14mpg this weekend doing 75 miles offroad driving up mountains and the rest on the highway with a massive headwind. So it seems the best tune you can do is tire size 😂
Ever since I put 35s on my 2008 sequoia, my speedometer is off. I can find anyone that can adjust my vehicle to display an accurate MPH. What did you do to fix this?
Isn’t the MPG off because the ECU thinks it’s on stock tires? Wouldn’t you have to factor in the circumference gain with the larger wheel/tire setup? Regardless, sweet rig.
@@CoolGuyClub was it a big difference? i guess what im asking is if your odometer said 70mph when you were actually doing 65 or 60? if so how much do you estimate was the difference? seems like it could be a problem if one is driving through a school zone lol or if a cop said you were speeding on the highway or something.... sorry for the dumb question.... i really would like to know the answer though. thanks in advance buddy 🙏 😀
Hi, I have a 08 sequoia on stock tires, new engine air filter and I’m lucky to get 12 mpg. What would te gearing look like? Thank you for your content.
@@CoolGuyClub Have you noticed any knocking with stock tune using regular gas? On our 2011 I don't hear any BUT the magnaflow is so damn loud it probably drowns it out
A tune will only boost your tq and hp by a few. What really improves is the throttle response and shifting points. Not worth it if you're not doing any FBO or forced induction. Your best bang for the buck is to regear imo.

Hang in there brother. You have the most important job in the world.
Thank you for the suggestion and looking out for others

My experience with the tune by MBP it helped reduce gear hunting GX470. Noticeably on incline. Less double down shifts…
That’s rad. I’m so glad it worked for you. It didn’t really do much for us.

Hey that’s very good mileage. Tire size indeed is the answer.
We should race!!! Armada vs Sequoia. 😜🤺🤺
Hell yes battle of the big boy v8’s
would love to see some content on the new landcruiser or any new Toyota off road vehicle. Will really boost your channels views as well
If I could afford one I’d oblige

Easy fix for me. Scangauge ii and iii allows you to offset your Speedo on the display and it will display the correct speed.

The tune accommodates for tire size.

Thank you for your content.
If you’re on stock tire sizing then a regear will not help sadly.
do you pump regular, mid, or supreme gas? and does it make a heck of a difference?
Always supreme. I need it for the timing to prevent knock

Hi,
Have you considered a larger fuel tank for your sequoia?
I have but we get about 280 miles per tank and that isn’t bad enough for me to justify that cost
All the 4th of July sale have stared. Will
I have any issues running 17 in wheels with 35 tires?
Nope.
@@CoolGuyClub without a lift?
Can you do this to a Rav4 with a V6 🤔
you totally can. its the same v6 and ecu as the V6 Tacoma
@CoolGuyClub which tuner is beat?
What about trying a pedal commander?
Hard no on that. All a pedal commander does is slow or increase the open rate of your throttle body. There is no real benefit to running one of those.
@@CoolGuyClub Had no clue, I thought they were basically pre loaded tunes that were activated through the switch... Interesting.
The big V8 in yours. And the V8 in my GX hurt more than ever at the pump.
Any tune has to be better, right?!
Ahaha true. If you spread out 1mpg improvement over enough time it will eventually pay for itself

Indeed!
Tuning anything makes a difference.
Yes but is it measurable and worth it?!
