#216 of 598 1986 Toyota P-up. by majv Sep 25, 2004 (8:14 am)
I have an '86 4x4 with 225,000 miles on it and have driven every day since March 1988 and twice to Cali. and back with absolutely no problems and am considering finally replacing it with a either 2003,04 or just waiting for the 05 Tundra. For all those who own '03 or '04 Tundras would any of you suggest waiting till the '05 debuts? Curious. Replies to this message: herbie1 (Sep 25, 2004 8:53 pm)

Replying to: majv (Sep 25, 2004 8:14 am) The 2005 Tundra (V8) has about 40 more horsepower than the previous versions, and supposedly better gas mileage. I believe the addition of variable valve timing and other enhancements accounts for this. Otherwise I don't believe there is much difference. Personally, I would prefer the 05, if the price is not outrageously higher than the 04.

#219 of 598 Weird skid on 04 tundra by pathy04 Oct 04, 2004 (6:20 pm)
I am driving my new 04 SR5 TRD Tundra for about a month   On one rainy day when i made a left turn a light the vehicle started skidding, i made almost two 100 degree turns before coming to a stop. Luckily there was no vehicles on either side of the road. It was so weird, as my wheels are fully wet and i had fully stopped on RED before the signal turned Green after about 2-3 minutes i could have not gone beyond 25 mph or so. My Tundra has a LSD (not an Auto-LSD with a switch)   Are there problems with Tundra breaks or possible LSD issues   Not gone to the dealer yet. Any input is much appreciated   Thanks Replies to this message: herbie1 (Oct 05, 2004 4:37 pm) pathy04 (Oct 06, 2004 3:28 pm) 04doubletundra (Oct 20, 2004 10:12 am) tsj (Jun 22, 2005 11:13 am)

Replying to: pathy04 (Oct 04, 2004 6:20 pm) Don't discount road conditions in the spot that you skidded. One time I hit an large oil patch on my motorcycle. The oil layer was very thin and not noticeable. Luckily I was going only about 10mph through this turn. I barely kept the back wheel from sliding out from under me. There was a car right behind me.   I have an 03 Tundra Access Cab, 4wd, LSD and no TRD. I have not noticed any spinout problems that are any different from any other pickup or van that I have driven. But I also don't push it very hard. If you are inclined to do so, you may try to repeat this problem in a safe parking lot somewhere.   Good Luck.

Replying to: herbie1 (Oct 05, 2004 4:37 pm) okay, it might be the oil spill.   as long as others did not experience this problem, clarifies the fact that it is NOT Tundra issue likely   will installing a rear sway bar be effective, will it interfere with LSD?   Thanks

Replying to: aranda35 (Sep 30, 2004 8:27 am) I have a 2004 DC since March and have been back and forth to dealer. They replaced my rear shocks about 3 weeks ago. Squeak or as we like to call it "chirp" went away for about two days, then returned, less pronounced, but still there. Hope Toyota solves this one some day. I understand from research, problem has been reported back to 2001 models.

Replying to: herbie1 (Sep 24, 2004 5:36 pm) I have a 2000 4by4 6 cylinder Tundra bought March 2004 with 114,000 km. I greased all of my grease fittings on all the drive shafts and universal joints, but then I got the same squeaking noise you have. The problem was with the rear universal joints which I replaced. Ta da! No more probs. Luv my Tundra. Replies to this message: herbie1 (Oct 17, 2004 7:13 am) slawdog (May 19, 2005 1:21 pm)

Replying to: tundra (Oct 16, 2004 7:34 pm) Thanks for the update! I think this will help alot of frustrated Tundra owners who are irritated by this stupid little 'chirp.' I probably won't get to taking my truck in for a few months, but I will update everyone when I do. I'm glad you fixed your problem. Also, Luv my Tundra too.
