I’m at 8k miles and 25% front 55% rear. Truck is in the shop for differential jingle. While that’s being fixed I asked about the brake issue without knowing there’s a fix out. Hopefully they see there’s a fix for it

There IS a sensor on these, it’s not just calculated by driving style. They use resistance wires built into pads that the truck reads. I have heard others saying the system doesn’t seem to be all that

Wow. A sensor? I stand corrected. That is crazy. Maybe that is why the calipers are bigger on the T1s? I am sure everything will be twice as expensive to replace. I would rather have adjustable

Just examine them like a normal human would and turn off that stupid function. I would think people do a proper inspection of their vehicle from time to time, rather than waiting for electronic system

My dealer confirmed that the TSB applies to my 2019 AT4 and is running the software update.

For other reasons, u won't have it back today, but just updating the thread.

Do you have to go to the dealer to get the software update to show the correct % of brake pad life or is this an over the air thing as well?

Actually he stated that the dealer did it.  It wasn't clear if it could be done over the air like like some of the other updates that were applied.

I'm actually not even sure why this is being discussed.  It's safe to assume that 99% of software changes have to be done by a dealer and not OTA.  Just assume that.

 

We're not trying to get an update to the Weather app, c'mon people.

I'm having the update done on Tuesday when I take my truck in for the leaking back window fix.  Hopefully the new software update correctly addresses this annoyance.

Not so sure any more... my truck just did an OTA update this morning. Took like 10 minutes. A message came on my screen telling me it needed to run and to leave the truck parked for a bit. Not sure exactly what it fixed, some kind of bug fixes. Probably just infotainment stuff, but not sure where you draw the line any more between the infotainment and the rest of the vehicle systems.

It's things that don't truly matter.  Apps and such like navigation, weather, radios, etc. 

 

You aren't getting updates to critical systems or monitoring OTA.

Apparently, I have one of the few Brake Pad Life sensors that appear to be working correctly from day 1!Brake Pad Life

Honestly, that's what's most weird about this.  I'm not sure how this wouldn't just be wrong for everyone, all or nothing kind of a thing.

 

Must mean they broke it midway through at some point.

74% after 31,000 miles?? That doesn’t seem right either ?

If they are highway miles (and me thinks they were for 31k on a 2019 truck) then that's about right.  I drive about 36k miles a year, and on my last truck I traded it in at 90k miles and the pads were still fine.

Correct, they were mostly highway miles.  Truck is ~11 months old!

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.
