It makes the computer think the engine is colder than it is. So it add more fuel and timing.

The gas mileage probably is affected but not by much. I know others on this board have done this mod with good results. I just dont know if the truck and 4Runner would take the same one.

Exactly what I think it is. You can do the same thing yourself for probably less than $5.
