New to me 4runner

Just got back from our first trip in the new to me 4runner. About 3,000 miles. Two people + about 200 lbs of luggage/gear. No major issues. Couple of small things. Fuel gauge is not accurate. Twice the low fuel light came on & DTE read something like 20. Filled up & only held 17 gallons. I know this is better than being that far off in the other direction, but is there any calibration I can do? Tires are 265/70R17 Dueller H/T, w/~200 miles on them when I left home. Speedo reads 4 mph slow compared to the Torque app, 2 mph slow compared Google Maps. I think Maps uses GPS & Torque uses what is reported via OBDII? Got about 18 mpg for the trip, running posted limit to 5 over and estimating correction for speedo error at 2%. Not great, but acceptable. LTFT showing around + 3-4. Does that seem about right? It has an aftermarket alarm on it. Not gonna discuss that here. It will be gone before next week!

 

Welcome

 

Thanks. Sorry for the double post. Don't know how to remove it.

 

Welcome to the forum.

I have not heard of any calibration available in regards to the fuel fill/level issue.

 

Welcome. Forum tip: please provide your model year & mileage when seeking advice. Helps a lot in figuring out what an issue might be.

For the fuel gauge, fuel sending unit is a known 4th Gen issue. may help.

 

I put it in my signature but how do I put that info in my profile so you can see it when I post?

 

Look at the top of the page on the right hand side and click “ You” then “Personal Details.” Scroll down and you’ll see a place for a one line description of your rig.

 

Thanks. Fixed it.
