It could be in the trans. BUT my you are probably setting your e-brake when you park. If you are the e-brake cables may be sticking. You should be able to back...
Just bought my first Toyota truck. 2005 Toyota Tundra SR5. Great truck. Only has 8200 miles. In three days I put 300 miles just driving around in it. When...
Rear end? Differential? U-joint? Neither. He says once he gets power to it, it is fine. Bad differentials or u-joints don't work fine anytime. Everytime you...
I also like the theory that the brake is freezing up, but if that is not the case, I stick w/ the tranny theory. Sometimes a problem develops that allows the...
Thanks for all the input, insights, best guesses, speculations and theories. I still don't know for sure what it is, but I still think the rear brake shoes...
Forgot to mention that I rarely use the e brake. ... From: Indian Motocycle Co-Spgfld MA To: awesometundratrucks@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, November 01,...
Hey Friends. Brad from Colorado with a new to me 2001 Tundra. I have some Questions as I fix this truck up. First off I have a sticky lifter. I called the shop...
I understand that the Tundra engines have solid lifters like a high performance DOHC motorcycle. I.E. the valve stem is topped by a bucket which holds shims...
That is troublesome if that is the case. I did talk to the local toyota dealer/mechanic and he said use the MOA stuff. It did seem to work, but not fully! ... ...
Brad, You could possibly have a cracked manifold. When cold, the sound it might make would sound like a "sticky lifter" and when it warms up the crack closes...
Has ony had problems with the V8 reving around 2k rpms on a cold start? (Cold start=truck sitting for 3 hours or more) After about 3 minutes in drive the RPMS...
Is there a wiring harness that I can purchase to connect in an exisiting port for an aftermarket remote start/keyless entry system. The systems I see want a...
That sounds ~normal to me (2005 4.7 V-8 4x4) => When leaving the barn, I use the brakes more than the throttle even after waiting a minute. I did have my...
John, it sounds like a vacuum leak of some sort... perhaps through a faulty idle speed control. OR, the throttle body is not returning to fully closed ...
CRAP.. Also not the answer I was looking for. DAMN!!! ... ____________________________________________________________________________________ Cheap Talk?...
I have a 2000 with a V8 and have the problem too. It only does it when the temp goes down under 40 degrees. After it warms up it is fine and dont here the...
Mike thanks for your reply! I was told two different things in regards to the lifters. Yes they can bind up and knock and no, they can't. I have decided to...
Which ever one of you suggested it was the tranny appears to be right. I spoke with a mechanic I trust and respect (a rare combination today) and he thinks it...
If I am right it is not because I am a professional mechanic, for I am not. It is just that I am as old as the dirt under your feet and when you get as old and...
Hi everyone. I've got a new problem with my 'new' 2000 SR5 extended cab 2WD. Recently I've replaced the 'other' oxygen sensor(did the first one a few weeks...
Skye, On your starting problem, sounds like the computer has lost its memory on how to start cold. I would try to remind it by disconnecting the battery...
A warped exhaust manifold is the problem. I guess it is more common than I thought. Now the debate: DO IT YOURSELF or HAVE IT DONE? WHAT A PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! ...
I am looking to install a remote starter/keyless entry system to my 05 Tundra. What systems do you recommend and are there wiring harness that can be used...
Yep, done both sides. Its a pain, but not _that_ bad. If you plan on keeping the truck, you might consider headers as I don't think toyota has improved their...
Has anyone put a Chrome AVS or other brand bug deflector on there Tundra? If so can I see some pictures. I would like to know how they look before I make a...
