Wish. I saw this video before I installed mine! I stripped it with a drill then had to buy special tools to remove the stripped screw. Regardless I got it installed and great video!
Nice scan gauge and the mount looks great I could use that scan gauge and mount for mine good video Sean thanks for the links as well pick me up one mount and gauge
I don't know what you're referring to when you say "tissue holder" but ok. Maybe you mean the sunglass holder or garage door remote holder near the front dome lights.
I bought this scan gauge 2 but it does not display the Transmission Fluid Temperature or Engine Oil Temperature. I woud have been nice if you showed how you setup your scan gauge. For me right now, this scan gauge is practically useless. May be I am missing something.
Scan gauge has this on their website. In a perfect world, we would spoon feed everyone, but sometimes you need to be self-sufficient and figure things out yourself. This video was about showcasing the Spiker Engineering mount, not how to program your Scan Gauge or Ultra Gauge. But, since I'm feeling generous, I'll give you the link to the Scan Gauge website so you can look up the necessary transmission temp commands. www.scangauge.com/support/x-gauge-commands/toyota-lexus-scion/ - Timmy
With the 3M tape I guess it isn't easily removable once installed to use in another veeehickle, or for security reasons so you don't advertise to everyone you have a gauge there. Presumably some additional mods to the end of the bracket could make it removable. Leon did the hard part already of making the bracket that attaches to the pillar.
It's 3M Dual Lock tape. It's a 2 part interlocking tape, so it's removable - one half stays with the mount, the other with the Scangauge II if you want to pull the Scangauge II off & hide it for safe keeping in your glovebox or something.
That dual lock tape is like Velcro in that it's separable, but much stronger. It's similar to the FastTrack mounting tape, and should be good for hundreds of reuses.
1996-1998 did not have a readout from the ECU for trans temp. The Scangauge II can only display that value on 1999-2002 Toyota 4Runners. We have a video where we install a Trans temp gauge for 1996-1998 years. czcams.com/video/fT_2szdKXRM/video.html
Timmy The Toolman what code do you use for the ‘99-02? Got a 00 myself and an atf code already that works but would like to confirm which one you’re using. You guys rock!
ima try to mount mine by the steering wheel, if that doesnt work they sell a window mount for the scangauge and tbh i rather do that cus ik the bolts gonna get stripped on my 97 taco.
@@TimmyTheToolman Tim is it possible to install the maxtow gauge by just super glueing the pod base to the a pillar? I dont wana remove the plastic trim, I can just run the wiring down the a pillar and stuff it in as good as I can. Also I dont really care for the dim, I actually like it always on with the light, so can i just connect it to a 12v socket? or do i have to connect all of those colors? Also i have a 97 taco reg cab and i dont have the tran cooler…..where can i find the line to put the barbs into? thx. I know i’ll figuire it out, thanks for all you do.
@@yotagang3705I don't know if they're enough surface area to adhere it to the plastic trim. I think you should just remove it. It's simple. As long as the gauge gets 12v power, it should work. At a minimum you would need 12v power and a ground. If your Taco has an automatic transmission, it has a cooler. If it's a manual transmission, then it doesn't have a cooler.
'96 and newer models should have the OBDII port, which means the gauge will work with it. We can ship to Australia, contact us at leon@spikerengineering.com
I guess you're talking about the Scan Gauge. You have to select the things you want to monitor. This is just a video about the mount and not a tutorial on how to use the Scan Gauge tool.
Ultragauge MX does have the capability to display trans temps. I like the UG because it displays more gauges at one time, and is cheaper. But the SG has the buttons on the front, whereas the UG's buttons are on the back and harder to use. Both are good gauges.
Sorry to be unrelated, but does anyone have experience with ABS speed sensor A issue? No speedometer or odometer working and every shop says they are unable to communicate with the ABS, but I managed to get it to read one time. P0500. Think I can just change the wheel sensors and go from there? 2001 4Runner. Thanks
Have you checked to see if your rear sensors are covered with gear oil? If you axle seals have been leaking, the gear oil getting past can affect the readings of the sensors.
Timmy The Toolman actually that’s probably exactly what happened. My breather wasn’t working so gear oil leaked past the seals. Do you think I can try cleaning them? Wow thank you so much 🙏 I had thought about that but wasn’t sure. I really appreciate it
Dude, you can pause it if you really want to read it. The disclosure is just some legal mumbo jumbo that's not important. It's only there for sue happy people who want to blame others for their own mistakes. The important information is what we are showing people how to do. There's different levels of DIY auto repair videos out there and I would have to say our videos are more detailed than probably 99% of the videos out there. One of the complaints we've heard many times is our videos are too long and it's because we offer great detail so people can be successful. If you're going to let a stupid disclaimer rolling by too fast on the screen stop you from watching our videos, it's your loss, not ours. And, we know what kind of people we are and it's not what you're inferring. We've helped out countless people with our videos and we will continue to do so without your stamp of approval. Happy Trails.
It's a standard disclaimer and is only there so he's covered legally. Your average user who isn't insane enough to blame Tim doesn't care about it. That's why he makes it fast.

ahh snap! yeah those screws are no joke. I guess Toyota didn't want us removing those. Glad you got it taken care of! #healthymods Chase!
What did you use to remove the stripped screw? I have the same problem
@@gavinbennett2302 I used an EZ out kit. Should have used what Timmy recommended.
Love the rhino lined hood sean
such a healthymod
@@TimmyTheToolman heck yeah looks stunning
Nice scan gauge and the mount looks great I could use that scan gauge and mount for mine good video Sean thanks for the links as well pick me up one mount and gauge
Go get your mount today Antonio & let us know how you like it!
@@TimmyTheToolman I will let you know when I get it in bro
Timmy The Toolman did they give you your own discount code that you could share with your subscribers?
@@kegpdc No, we didn't get a discount code to share.
Nice srq fab makes one to put in the tissue holder by the front lights.
I don't know what you're referring to when you say "tissue holder" but ok. Maybe you mean the sunglass holder or garage door remote holder near the front dome lights.
Timmy The Toolman yea that would be it lol idk why my mom told me it for small tissue packets 😂
Will this scan gauge 2 work on my 95.5 Tacoma? It has an obd2 port
Yes, it will work for any vehicle with OBD 2.
I bought this scan gauge 2 but it does not display the Transmission Fluid Temperature or Engine Oil Temperature. I woud have been nice if you showed how you setup your scan gauge. For me right now, this scan gauge is practically useless. May be I am missing something.
Engine temp is programmed out of the box, but trans temp needs to be programmed.

Do they make one for a 2002 tacoma or does someone else
We do make scangauge and ultragauge mounts for the 2nd Gen Tacomas - spikerengineering.com/product/scangauge-mount-01-15-tacoma
Im going to get on that! When do we get a rig walk around?
Rig walk around of the black 4Runner in this video?
I only every see these installed on automatics. Do they work with 5spd runners?
There is plenty of other useful information your Scangauge II can tell you. It's not just for automatic 4Runners/Tacomas.
Will this give accurate information if my speedo is approx 15 mph off from running larger tires?
Yes, you can calibrate speed, fuel economy, etc, on both types of gauges

Sean, when are we going to get a walk around of that nice looking limited you put the gauge on?
Still has a lot of work to be done but I will plan to get that in motion this summer. I have 2 built limiteds so many you’ll get a 2-fer.
Thanks Sean! I noticed on your Scangauge you are monitoring ATF Temp. I have a 1997 T4R, do you have the code for ATF temp? Thanks in advance!

I'm definitely going to put one of these on my 98 4Runner! The only question I have is that can I change the color of the screen?
Don't know if you can change the screen color. Maybe contact the Scangauge company and ask them if it's possible.
Yes you can, there are a bunch of colors.
ima try to mount mine by the steering wheel, if that doesnt work they sell a window mount for the scangauge and tbh i rather do that cus ik the bolts gonna get stripped on my 97 taco.
Ok, good luck Pauly.
@@TimmyTheToolman the scangauge wont be an option for me cus its not compatitable for my 97😭. I will use your vid to install this.

Beer was Jai alai by Cigar City?
Douglas Walston that was the water indeed.. damn you’re good... very impressed
I thought so! :) I’m located in NC and have enjoyed that water many times. Thank you for all the videos. You’re doing Gods work!
Does it come installed to view my trans temp?
I guess you're talking about the Scan Gauge. You have to select the things you want to monitor. This is just a video about the mount and not a tutorial on how to use the Scan Gauge tool.
@@TimmyTheToolman got it thanks
@@s0kaldaddy You're welcome.
Do you guys prefer Ultragauge or Scangauge? I have a 2000 Tacoma just trying to figure out which would suit me better.
ultraguage still cant get the trans temp as far as I know. Its down to how much you want to pay to see your trans temp.
I prefer a Scangauge II. Not saying it's better. Trans temp is a huge reason why I have a Scangauge II in the first place.
Ultragauge MX does have the capability to display trans temps. I like the UG because it displays more gauges at one time, and is cheaper. But the SG has the buttons on the front, whereas the UG's buttons are on the back and harder to use. Both are good gauges.
How can I get a hold of u Sean?
