#21 of 598 Surge by klew Jul 08, 2002 (8:50 pm)
Did you have the air conditioning on? When the compressor kicks in, the engine increases power/RPM to compensate for the added load of the compressor, and the vehicle may surge if you're pressing on the brake only slightly.
#22 of 598 Front seat squeaking by klew Jul 08, 2002 (8:55 pm)
I have noticed the front passenger seat creaking/squeaking but only when someone is sitting in it. I discovered the source of the squeaks is comming from the seat belt buckle (when it's buckled in). If you move the thing forward and back a few times the squeaking stops.
#23 of 598 tundra brake problem by sidneyoh1 Jul 10, 2002 (7:03 pm)
I have a 2001 tundra that has extremely touchy brakes (not anti-locks). The slightest pressure is like slamming on the brakes. There is nearly no give to the pedal, the brakes engage as soon as the pedal is depressed the slightest amount. At a stop, then starting to roll forward again, there is a bump forward feel, almost like the transmission (automatic)was not engaged, then engages. I know the brakes are a problem, I don't know about the transmission. The dealer has worked on it and adjusted the load level switch, which seemed to work for awhile. Who knows what is my problem?

#24 of 598 Engine sludge by dunkmydonut Jul 24, 2002 (5:18 pm)
Hello, I was all set to go Toyota this year after owning domestics for 30 years. Then I read on several consumer sites about Toyota having problems with pre-mature oil sludging with devastating engine failure. Hope I'm wrong, but I figured an owner would have heard of this. TIA

My 2001 Tacoma 4WD does the same thing, feels like it was bumped in the rear. I had a 97 Mazda 4WD that done the same thing. I think its normal.
#27 of 598 2.7 ltr 4 cyl. in 2000 and 2001 Tacoma 4x4. Are they the same? by glenn43 Jul 27, 2002 (8:24 am)
Haynes and Chilton won't have manuals published for the 2001 Tacoma 4x4 for atleast another year. Haynes does, however have one out for the 2000. If the engines are Identicle I figure that manual would do for the time being.Any thoughts?
#28 of 598 T100 transmission by vernak Aug 05, 2002 (8:38 am)
My T100 V6 [150K] automatic transmission hestitates to shift down into first gear when slowing down....I then try to accelerate and it revs up and catches second gear....are there any adjustments or should I prepare for a new tranny?......Fluids are changed every 30K.... Otherwise this truck has been bulletproof with many trips on teh Alcan and back roads of Alaska and Yukon Territory.
#29 of 598 Tires & lift kits by clevethehunter Sep 02, 2002 (2:46 pm)
I am ready to put new AT tires on my 01 Tundra. I am told the largest I can go to is 275/70R16. Is this correct and adequate? Is adding a 3"lift kit to go to bigger tires worth the costs?   Dick

Don't know about Tundra, but here's info on Tacoma:   (and you may want to consider to go away from R16 tires....if you are going to put bigger tires, you will want to get wider tires and that means wider rims. Check what the stock rim is, but I think it's 16x7. You can't mount 32s on a 16x7 rim, and also, R16 tires are more expensive than R15 tires)   Stock trucks run on 31x10.5R15 tires. To clear 32x11.5R15 tires you need 2-3" of lift. To clear 33x12.5R15 tires you need at least 6" of lift. If you don't have that, you'll have trouble with rubbing.
