Default Maintenence Req'd light

The dealership was too busy, so I got my oil changed at a quick change shop, then my "Maint Req'd" light came on later. It comes on around every 5000 miles for the oil change. Is it easy to reset, and can I do it? If so, where do I find the instructions/button?

If it's not in the owner's manual, I think you hold down the trip reset button with Trip A selected while turning the key on. Takes a few seconds. I apologize if this is wrong, as I am just going from memory. I have to look it up myself each time.

Front Susp: Stock coilovers, shocks, 4" lift (http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...6-4-inch-lift/), wheel well height 41.5."

Rear Susp: ProComp ES3000 #326510 (2.25" taller than stock), 1.25" blocks plus PRG mini-pack (http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...and-new-truck/) gives 2.25" total lift, parking brake cable bracket spacers, wheel well height 43."

Front diff and rear ds drop; trailer hitch electrical harness tucked up above bumper.

After 20K miles swapped 305/65/18 BFG AT for 285/75/18 Toyo AT, still on stock 18x8x60 offset TRD wheels, about 1/8" clearance to sway bar. Like the extra height but miss the width. Next time either 305/70/18 or 35x12.50/18.

Added 5th 285/75/18 Toyo AT as spare. Foam pad above spare to help with bed bounce.

TRD exhaust, 26K miles, 17mpg city after battery disconnect reset. Note: after 7K miles of data, I think the improved mileage is more from a gentler right foot than anything else.

Bed Bounce: Stiffer E-tires are worse than stock P-metric; biggest improvement from PRG mini-pack, slight improvement from shocks and foam pad above spare. Still a stiff ride but tolerable now.

Best things about this truck: 5.7 and transmission, interior size and comfort, very quiet at high speed.

Worst things about this truck: bed bounce, no VSC in 4wd, mileage sucks above 70.

I think you hold down the trip reset button with the odometer showing not the trip A.
