Take it back to a another Toyota dealership, but NOT the one you have been going back too, Just tell them you have bad hesitation on accelerating away from a stand still and they will reflash the CVT ECU, the more you rant and rave the more you will confuse the sh*t out of them, Keep it simple and to the point Continuously Variable Transaxle (CVT) Software Update Background: Toyota previously announced Special Service Campaign J0D, which involved performing a software update to the CVT control software to address the condition described below. Following the completion of the software update in Special Service Campaign J0D, Toyota dealers received reports from some customers stating that the vehicle experienced harsh shifting and/or abnormal engine RPM between shifts. These issues occurred close to the completion date of the campaign and/or within relatively low mileage from the completion of the campaign remedy, prompting Toyota to suspend Special Service Campaign J0D. Toyota has now identified the cause of these issues and has developed a new remedy. Special Service Campaign JSD, which replaces Special Service Campaign J0D, applies this new remedy. Owners of all vehicles previously involved in Special Service Campaign J0D, including those who have previously completed Special Service Campaign J0D, are requested to visit an authorized Toyota dealer to have Special Service Campaign JSD performed. Condition: An Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in the subject vehicles has improper programming that could lead a component inthe Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) to unnecessarily cycle and experience abnormal wear. If this component becomes damaged, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may illuminate in the instrument cluster and the vehicle could experience a reduction of speed. After reaching a pre-determined gear ratio, the vehicle can be operated up to approximately 37 mph. Remedy: Any authorized Toyota dealer will inspect the CVT control software and, if necessary, perform an update for that software at NO CHARGE. After inspecting the software and, if necessary, performing the software update, the CVT solenoid valve controlling the gear ratio in the CVT will be inspected* and, if necessary, the CVT valve body assembly will be replaced at NO CHARGE. A portion of the CVT solenoid valve inspection process requires the dealer technician to test drive the vehicle for a certain distance and at certain speeds.

any good to you, cheers CONROD

As its brand new, wouldn't a trip to Toyota be the wise move to make, rather than have everyone second guess what it could be , such as : you haven't got the A/C on ?

Check out (Bretts Truck Parts) on the Central Coast

Stick your end straight up under the Sill Panel

honestly having owned both, the choice is yours, if you get a good buy on either go for it , the v6 is the go if you are towing like you stated up any inclines, it would do it without raising a sweat

All sorted and up and running

All sorted fellas, under $20 on ebay got me what I wanted and they were alloy also and from Aust

Putting a set of alloys on my little workmate, Got a set off a Ford Falcon ute 5x114.3 pcd , Offset fits like a glove, 205/60r16 tyres LT, what I want is a set of hub rings Plastic/alloy I don't really care as the Ford rim has a 76.1mm hole and my workmate has 67.1mm hub, can pick them up on Ebay, but I would rather get them off a spares/tyre shop Bob Jane are bloody useless any thought fellas in the Newcastle/Central Coast area, cheers all

Hi all got me a little 2001 2wd work mate tray back, Got a chance to put a set of 16x6.5" Lancer alloys, Ive checked they run the same 5 x 114.3 pcd, hub hole is the same 67.1 mm, but the offset on the alloys are +40 pos, can anyone who has put alloys on from a Camry or Lancer have any issues or did they fit on with no dramas, cheers

Drop into a Toyota dealer , take them 2 minutes to show you what to do, even a tyre dealer, they would do that stuff all the time , Cheers Conrod

If you have air bags mate you should have 2 air bag sensors ( yellow ) under the bonnet sitting pretty close to the radiator support panel, to activate the bags. I too have the symbols on my instrument cluster and the wiring is under the hood, but taped off and terminated OEM

Love your work mate, looks like they just left the showroom floor

Its obviously not running the way it should, How in gods name is revving the sh*t out of it gunna make it run right. It sounds like the timing is way out,

Pretty sure you open the rear door and then you will see a little flap you open up, then use a 12mm socket or appropriate spanner in the tool kit, remove the bolt, then use the key to release security type lock nut , best of luck,

What about this one mate on Car Sales in SA. only thing is its not a dual cab, good kays on it https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Toyota-Hilux-2001/SSE-AD-5490334/?Cr=0

I managed to pick up a 2001RZN147r, 2wd work mate, soley as a run a bout, to and from work duties, as I just purchased a brand new dual cab and didn't want to run the kays up on it. Any way fate had it, spotted my little work mate for sale on the side of the road coming home one day, by the look of the condition it was in, straight as, clean, and most important Original, I thought this things probably going to be up there, turned out it had all the original books, unused tools behind the seat,service history, Interior all intact with no wear, new brakes, front wheel bearings, tyres, plugs, etc, etc, . Its got the 1rze 2 litre Fuel Injected engine, electronic ignition, 5 speed, optional A/C., Beaut Alloy tray with Tonneau I had a Hilux Grinner years ago with the 2Y 1.8 lt engine and kicked myself for ever getting rid of it. All I can say is look around, good original unmolested ones are still around, I guess I was in the right place, right time, then again there is a lot of sh*t also for sale In short I love it, It hums along on the freeways, sits easily on 110kph, produces maximum torque at 2800rpm, so it pulls well without ringing its neck( for the size of the little donk ) and has a timing chain, so no worries of a belt letting go, had 280,000 km on it. The ol mate who owned it, was having to hand in his license because of macular disease, The only thing I had to do was get the a/c serviced $250 from memory regas, new receiver dryer, cant believe how cold it gets. Cant honestly say I have seen many dual cab work mates around, that's not to say they aren't out there, any way best of luck bud, you will come across one when you least expect it as I did, Cheers CONROD

What was stopping you from using the OEM loom that was already in place

Sounds like something relating to the Immobilizer not linking to the ECU

Give the seals a good going over with armor all or some other protectant, and also give all the areas where the seals are likely seat against a good polish and wax, always worked a treat

If you have a bearing mob around, go and tell them what you need

GMH Commodore,s from VT=VZ series Quick Silver , Done in 2pak looks bloody fantastic and being a 2 pak lasts the distance , only draw back need a booth to apply

When I installed a 12v accessory socket in mine, I used an original socket complete with wiring and tapped into the cigarette lighter loom to supply the power, that way power is cut when ignition is off, easy as to do and made it so it all look OEM. Yours being a 2013 might have the necessary plug already in place, Cheers CONROD

Check out what TJM, ARB, IRONMAN has on offer when it comes to after market DRL,s

Cant go past above, forget all the flash e-bay LED bling, ,you want the SEMI SEALED, that way you can replace the Bulb if it happens to blow and if you get a stone chip it will still work,
