#21 of 490 2000 tundra brakes by ugottabkiddin Dec 04, 2003 (5:18 am)
We have a 2000 Tundra that vibrates when you brake going down a hill. Still under warranty. Took it to the dealership & told them the rotors needed turning. They said the brakes would need cleaning also. We have heard them tell other people this & charge them quite a bit for it. My husband asked them if their was a warranty on it, since they would get dirty again the minute we drove off & applied the brakes. Has anyone heard of it being necessary to "clean the brakes"? Sounds like a scam to us. Replies to this message: mzopinonated (Apr 14, 2004 5:49 pm) 44jdub (Jan 11, 2005 2:24 pm) xfrogman (Jan 23, 2006 11:13 pm)
#22 of 490 Extra weight for winter driving by ageyling Dec 05, 2003 (8:26 am)
Anyone know how much weight to add for winter driving to make a difference? I have a 2003 Tundra.
#23 of 490 weight by nra1871 Dec 05, 2003 (1:15 pm)
I never understood the extra weight in the winter idea. I tried it with my 2wd ranger, and it just seemed to make it harder to stop. What helped more than anything was tossing the weight and getting really good snow tires.
#24 of 490 Windows making noise on 03 Tundra by jennifernmike Dec 26, 2003 (6:50 pm)
I have 03 Tundra Limited. When I open the windows less then half, they do make noises. And when I hit a pot hole or when the road is not evenly, the noise is getting louder (very loud). But when I open the windows more than half, they don't make any noise at all. Service manager told me it was normal for Tundra. Does anybody having the same problem please advice. Thanks in advance.

#26 of 490 Vibration at 45 - 60 MPH by tcranford Jan 10, 2004 (12:04 pm)
I bought new Toyota Tundra 2 years ago that now has 19,700 mi. which developed a vibration within the last two months. Most pronounced around 52 MPH. Have have tires rotated and balanced by the dealer and an independent reputable company in town. They check out OK. The dealer told me this is chacteristic of the Tundra and to just and drive and forget! NO WAY!! After returning for the 3rd time, they decided it might be the drive shaft and "tried to balance it." Still no luck. Any suggestions as to what this might be. I noticed a few others are experincing similar problems. The tires are original and have been rotated and balanced about every 7,500 mi.

#27 of 490 vibration by edgex Jan 13, 2004 (7:41 am)
I've read over at the tundra solutions board that the rear brakes give alot of vibration headaches if they don't get seated properly. Maybe this is your is something to look into? Or go to the tundrasolution.com board and post there. I've gotten alot of good info not only from here, but there as well.
#28 of 490 2000 Tundra headlights-on aural warning by abby18 Jan 18, 2004 (8:06 pm)
If you turn my Tundra engine off and exit the vehicle with the headlights still on, there is no aural warning to turn them off. Is there a fuse for that ciruit? Could the noise maker itself be bad? I would appreciate any advice on how to troubleshoot this problem. Replies to this message: scsr52000 (Jun 16, 2005 5:58 pm)

#30 of 490 Spark Plugs on V8 Engine by ageyling Mar 01, 2004 (3:22 pm)
Is anyone familiar with the spark plugs on the V8 Tundra Engine? I believe it is the 2UV-FE Engine. I have a 2003 and the manual says there are spark plugs but when I look at the engine, where the spark plugs should be there are flat rectangular black caps. The caps have a bolt holding them down adn there is a four pin connector attached. Following this wire to the harness, I find that the other 7 similar caps lead to the same harness and the harness goes in a large black cover on the front of the drivers side valve cover. So I assume these rectangular caps are the spark plug covers and the black cover on the front of the valve cover is the distributor, but this leaves me with one issue. Why four wires leading to the spark plug and why are they so small? Normally spark plug cables are much thicker due to the high voltage. Replies to this message: gpr (Jan 09, 2005 9:59 am)
