Yours is not the only one. I have now seen serveral posts on this. The complaints are very similar. What you describe is exactly what I have been experiencing for over a year. A previous post quotes a new Toyota TSB on this issue, TSB SU003-04. It is supposed to correct this. I would like to know what parts are a part of this TSB.

I was told the same thing by serveral Tundra owners and a Toyota service tech. It was time anyway so I greased all the drive shaft u-joints, spiders, and most importantly the slide yoke on the back end of the drive shaft. This one take a lot of grease. When properly greased the thunking stays gone.

I have an 02 Tundra with a V-6 auto and about 37k.After it sits usually overnight or several hours when I take off it will not change out of first gear till I stop or put it in neutral then back to drive. I've changed the fluid with no luck.

Re: Failed Throttle Body - Tundra [s6025t1] by djm79

I've got the exact same problem. My 2000 Tundra
had the same symptoms over Christmas (check engine light on; accelerator wouldn't function).
Problem went away after I restarted the engine and it warmed up (I chalked the problem up to the cold weather).
Yesterday the check engine light came on again. Toyota says I need a new O2 sensor (again), but it's covered under warranty. Plus, they want $1,200 to replace the throttle body. This item is specificially excluded from the extended warranty that I bought. Yesterday, the vehicle had no accelerator problems; only the check engine light was on.
Is the accelerator problem just a cold weather issue? I live in Texas so don't know if I should fix it or take my chances driving it.

Taking On Water by buffalonickel
Jan 13, 2005 (4:35 pm)
'03 Tacoma with a water leak on drivers side. I have had these before in Chevrolets and Plymouths, but never in a Toyota. I have owned Toyotas since 1984.
 
The problem centers around the driver's side floor board which pools up with water. This happened overnight while the truck sat in a driving rain storm. I could not feel any water under the dashboard, so I am thinking it is entering the cab somewhere up the firewall and trickling down under the carpet. We have been deluged in rain and this IS the first time I have had a problem.

Fog light delema! by sonnyboy
Jan 14, 2005 (4:28 am)
How do i get the fog lights to stay on any time I flip the switch instead of just when the low beams are on? Someone did refere me to a web site from a Dr. from Az., but that web site does not work.

Scraping-rubbing noise from left front wheel... by lilredtruck
Jan 14, 2005 (3:41 pm)
During a recent bout of nasty weather, I drove around for several days with the hubs engaged in 2WD, in case I hit any nasty spots and needed the extra traction. Tonight as I'm pulling out from work, I notice a scrape-scrape-scrape noise coming from the left front wheel. I immeadiately pulled over and checked to see if I had a rock rubbing the brake disk or something, and found that my left hub was disengaged. I went around and disengaged the right hub, then got back in and drove a bit more. The scraping sound continued. I re-engaged both hubs and the noise went away. Does anyone have any ideas on what's happened?
 
Thanks!

'98 RAV4, metalflake on dipstick by mikevaughn
Jan 15, 2005 (8:48 am)
My daughter has a '98 Toyota RAV4 and my wife has an '00 RAV4. Both cars often have tiny flecks of alum. on the end of the oil dipstick when I check the oil. It appears that the metal is from the dipstick rubbing against the tube end. Anyone else seen this?

'98 RAV4, metalflake on dipstick by pilot130

Particles of aluminium on a dipstick (made of steel and within a steel tube, BTW) could be a sign of impending trouble.
Is it known to be aluminium? A magnet will answer that question quickly. If they are ferrous and attracted to the magnet, you might have problems.
One sure way to find out if your engine is "Making Metal" would be to remove the oil filter, cut it open, and examine the filter media with a magnifying glass.
If you find any particles big enough to see a serial no., this is bad news. (Just kidding--any sized particles in sufficient quantity is cause for concern)
Another good idea is to get an oil analysis. It will also tell you what the metal is, and thus indicate what the problem is likely to be.
