#528 of 538 2004 2.4 Xtra cab by mdawg25 Nov 11, 2008 (6:00 pm)
Hello I'm looking at buying a black '04 Xtra cab, 2.4 engine and 5-speed. The dealer wants $10,900 for it and it has 69k on it. First of all, I think this is a little pricey, but what do you guys think? Also, what should I look for as far as common problems? I know the frames are notorious for rotting, but the roads don't get salted too terribly much here (Kansas City), so I'm not too concerned with rust. Anyway, any input would be appreciated
#529 of 538 bank1 sensor1 replacement by mud_13 Mar 15, 2009 (1:36 pm)
I have a P0135 code on my 2004 2.7L extended cab Tacoma, which also reads as malfunction in bank1 sensor1. I can see where the sensor sits ahead of the convertor on the exhaust, but the wire leads up into the floorboard through a rubber gromet. Can someone tell me where it goes and how to best access the end of the cable? Should I take off the passenger seat and somehow get under the carpet? I have a replacement sensor that has the rubber gromet already on the wire between the sensor and plug. Thanks in advance for any help! Replies to this message: mikefm58 (Mar 16, 2009 9:29 am)

#531 of 538 96 Tacoma 4x4 by riceman09 Jun 13, 2009 (4:22 pm)
My 96 has 200,000 miles and with all the rain has had trouble starting. Dried out and is starting ok but the engine light is on. This is my 3rd Tacoma 4x4. Should I try to fix it or buy a new one before it's too late?   Also thinking of switching to a 2wd. Any thoughts??
#532 of 538 Vibration seems like driveline, please comment by harveyelmore Jul 24, 2009 (4:07 pm)
My 2000 Prerunner has been a dream truck for 100,000 miles. I am now getting a pretty good vibration around the 35-45 mph mark and also around the 55 mph mark. I have replaced my carrier bearing but that did not help. Does anyone have any ideas on where to look next.
#533 of 538 1998 V6 Tacoma won't stay running by toyguy1 Aug 12, 2009 (8:56 am)
When I turn my key to crank the engine I hear it start, but as soon as I release the key it dies out. I have replaced the ECU (thinking that this was the problem) and fuel pump relay and still no improvement. Any ideas??????????
#534 of 538 Transmission troubles by colinb1 Sep 14, 2009 (6:07 pm)
I have a2003 Tacoma with around 80,000 miles. I have never had any problems, but recently whenever I get to highway speeds the truck randomly shifts out of gear. Also every now and then when I put the truck in reverse, the truck will not move. Has anyone had a similar problem, or any advice? Replies to this message: carolyn20 (Oct 21, 2009 9:00 am)

Replying to: tombvortx (Sep 05, 2005 3:29 pm) Hey Tom, before you buy another toyota pick-up, do your homework, they just ain't what they used to be. You can check out these forums for info. I've owned two of the 90's pick-ups (before they had names for them) and they were great. Just regular 2wd, stick. I ended up buying a 2004 2wd auto Tacoma and I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Seems to be okay, but anything newer than that seems to have a lot of problems for a Toyota. I just had to replace the kick down cable at 45k in the tranny, luckily it was only $400-$500 to replace. Then I came on this forum and found out I've been fortunate. I may go with a Ford pick-up next time OR get the extended warranty the next time.

Replying to: colinb1 (Sep 14, 2009 6:07 pm) Hey Colin...I don't know if it's the same thing, but I have an '04 Tacoma, auto, 2wd, and I just had to have the 'kick down' cable in the tranny replaced (or it can be adjusted cheaper if not broken). My vehicle was not synching gears with accelerator speeds but did okay in reverse. It was about $400-500 to replace but they seemed to know right away what was wrong. I took it to a Toyota dealer I trust (Piercey Toyota in Milpitas, CA, if you live in the SF Bay Area). Good Luck!
