Swapping Out The 8in Screen for the OEM Toyota 14in Screen

When I was shopping for my truck one of the things I didn't settle on was wanting the 14in screen. BUT, I was still looking at SR5 packages that only had the 8in screen because I found out you can swap out the screen. NOW! I am not talking about some after market android base screen that doesn't implement well with the truck. To my surprise a OEM Toyota 14in screen is plug and play into the truck. The screens are not VIN tied or need to be unlocked or reprogram. They just plug in. But there is a catch to that. If you truck did not come with the 14 in screen it does not have the volume knob on the dash. Now the steering wheel buttons DO work and you can modify the dash. Lets get into it. First this is the video I watched where the dude actually did it. Parts List: Screen - 86100-0C360 Volume Knob - 86128-AN020 Switch and Volume Assembly - 86170-0C010 Things you need to know: The screen is easiest found on Ebay for around $800. Make sure you pay attached to JBL vs no JBL depending on what you have inside of your truck. Also you want to make sure you get one with the vents on the side. If not you need to modify you existing vents which isn't fun this makes it even more plug an play. You can simply remove the dash assembly where the volume knob is supposed to be. You are able to use a step bit like in the video to add the volume knob and switch and the wiring is already there. People even say there is a marking were you need to drill. Also please if you do there add your photos below. Also check to make sure it all turns on before putting the dash back together.

Could this be causing the problems with the new motor? This information was posted by a guy on the Facebook pages who was doing some testing with a ScanGauge plugged into the truck while driving.

You can clearly see the issue: at idle, the oil pressure is around 4 PSI. That seems crazy low.

On these new motors, Toyota uses a variable-speed oil pump. This is done to squeeze a little more efficiency out of the engine by reducing drag at idle. The idea is that lower pump load equals better efficiency. However, people are saying that when oil pressure drops that low, the oil may not be sticking to the bearings as well. The theory is that running a thicker oil could help the oil maintain better film strength, so when pressure is that low, metal-on-metal contact doesn’t happen.

Honestly, if this really was a problem and the solution was that simple, you would think Toyota would just come out and say it.
