Re: 04 tundra double cab torture test [mistib1d] by idahoron

The area I go into in the winter is 80 miles from the nearsest house. That county has 8000 square miles and only 8000 people. I go for days and never see another person.
 I have had to chain up all four tires on my 88 toy xtracab just to move.
Some of the roads are very side hilly and at times I need chains so this is starting to worry me a little. Ron

Thanks for your two cents, mistib1d.
I very much enjoyed reading about a lifestyle way up North that is so different from mine.
 
May your Toyota serve you well for a long time.

97 tacoma cruise control problem by mikes.
Mar 12, 2005 (8:49 pm)
I have a 97 Tacoma extended cab V-6 with factory cruise. I've noticed the 2 or 3 times that when I set the cruise at a speed it won't hold it but will accelerate. Saturday evening while on the freeway after noticing it happening I turned off the cruise for a minute, turned it back on and set my speed at 55mph. In a few minutes I was doing 70 and still climbing. I tapped the brake to cancel cruise and reset at 60. It started climbing again.
 
Has anyone else seen this problem before? Any ideas or solutions?

Horn problem by controlbus
Mar 19, 2005 (12:40 am)
I have 2004 Tundra, bought late 2003. It has been a great truck so far,knock on wood. However, tonight the horn decided to go off and continue sounding until I could disconnect the battery. It sat a while disconnected , after re connection, an hour later it started again, so I disconnected the battery again . Bet my neighbors love me tonight.I thought it may be the alarm but that didn't help when I disarmed it, the horn kept on going. Anyone have any problems like this?

My '05 Tacoma alarm is eratic. It went off 4 times in 4 hours this morning. I have to leave the cab unlocked to stop it. However, I locked it 3 hours ago and it is now 9:30 pm and not a peep. I plan to take this to the dealer on Monday and have the gremlins flushed out.
 
I did find that you have to hit the disarm button on the remote AND open and close a door to shut it down completely.
 
And if you think it would help, I can post what the dealer has to say about it for you.

Re: 2002 tundra vibration [ron9] by toyfanatic

My 2002 Tundra (4x4, access cab, TRD, SR5) has had the same noise since I bought it new. I put-off taking it to the dealer out of laziness. I finally took it in and the dealer was able to duplicate the "vibration/grind" and began to try and locate the problem. They called to say that they had rotated the tires and were going to drive it again. I could have told them that the noise was present even after rotation but I didn't. They later called and told me that the differential needed replacement. Thank God it is still under warranty! I thought that I had missed my opportunity but the drive train is warranted for 5 years and ??? miles. I asked the service tech if this was an issue with the Tundras and he said "not that I know of". From the messages that I am reading, seems my truck is not unique. I have not written-off Toyotas, they can all have issues. Consumer reports still recommends the 2002 Tundra as a used truck to purchase so it must not be that widespread????
Good luck to all.

96 Tacoma Exhaust Vibration? by bpfromnc
Mar 24, 2005 (9:01 am)
It's a rattling sound only heard during application of accelerator. Not heard while idling or coasting. Checked exhaust manifolds and heat shields for cracked weld or loose bolts, but found nothing. Could it be a baffle in the muffler that's come loose or something related to the exhaust system (ie: catalytic?).

Security Alarm by buffalonickel
Mar 24, 2005 (7:13 pm)
Since that last posting the security alarm went off three times again on Wednesday 23 March with no provocation. I am going to lock the doors with the key. That way the alarm will not set but the doors will lock. The two ways the security alarm will set is the push button lock or the push button on the key fob. I once owned an old Nova that you had to bang the dash board with your fist to get the heater fan to go on. Looking back now I didn't realize how advanced that technology really was.
 
Still waiting on California to respond to a real and definite fix for this dilemma.
