Replying to: brokentundra (Nov 25, 2005 6:57 pm) broken, how was this ever resolved. i just had this exact thing happen this past week with my 2001 tundra. dealer said it was torgue convertor and that they would also have to replace transmission. the truck ran great until this past week and had no problem after i finally got it started. dealer said it would cost about $2,900 to fix. i just don't trust them....

#429 of 490 clunking at red lights by midgetluver May 18, 2006 (4:18 am)
problems in my 05 access cab sr5. i have notice that after coming to a stop at a red light there is sometimes a clunk and the truck surges forward just a little. Also, i noticed that while accelerating downhill(and only downhill)from 3rd to 4th gear, instead of shifting around 2200 rpm as usual, it will rev up to about 3200 rpm and hang there for a few seconds and then shift and then shift again to catch up. i have seen about half a dozen posts dating back to 2002 from people who have had the clunking at a red light. if you come across any more info on this please let me know, i'm not real convinced that these are "normal" which is what my dealer's service tech said. it doesnt happen all the time, and when i took my mechanic for a ride it didn't happen. any info on this would be greatly appreciated, as i have 30,000 miles now and would like to figure out this problem before my warranty runs out.

#430 of 490 Things I have learned about my Tundra... by capt2 May 19, 2006 (5:04 pm)
1/ if you have a Reese hitch go get the cap and throw it as far away as you can. After 4 years of non use I went to use it and it had rusted so bad inside that the sleeve would not go in. Took me two days of solvents and beating to make it useable. Dealer response was "we see that all the time" duh, a heads up would have been appreciated. 2/ Do not let the dealer talk you into just replacing pads and turning rotors to solve the warping problem. Comes right back, Cha Ching! Replies to this message: ustazzaf (May 28, 2006 7:41 pm) capt2 (Jun 11, 2006 4:59 pm) kcram (Jun 12, 2006 5:39 pm)
#431 of 490 Question for the brake experts.. by capt2 May 19, 2006 (5:06 pm)
When you go to the power slot cryo rotors and Hawk metallic pads do you still use the old OEM calipers? Thanks.
#432 of 490 Tire pressure indicator light??? by richberg May 28, 2006 (12:48 pm)
Anyone having a problem with the light. as soon as the tempature gets over 60 outside the light flashes. the pressure is correct. Is there a way to turn it off. From western mass and the temps change so much here in a days time it is crazy. Thanks for any help it's a 2005 ext cab step side.

Dealer response was "we see that all the time" duh, a heads up would have been appreciated They sell towing packages with the intention that they will be used. If I buy a truck with AC, but don't use it for 4 years, I would expect it to not work as advertised too. Don't expect a letter in the mail from the dealer or a Toyota service bulletin to tell me that. Replies to this message: capt2 (Jun 11, 2006 4:59 pm) kcram (Jun 12, 2006 5:39 pm)
#434 of 490 2000 Tundra instrument panel light question . . . . . by tondra May 29, 2006 (8:18 am)
I have lost my light for the odometer, speedometer, etc. The headlights work fine, but when I turn on the headlights I don't get any light for the gauges. Makes it tough to drive at night, as you can imagine. I have checked fuses and cannot find a bad one although I am not positive which fuse controls the instrument panel light. I have pulled the front panel off the dash around the radio hoping to find the light but no luck. Does anyone know where the bulb is located and how to get to it? Thanks much.

#435 of 490 Drive line problems by papalou56 May 29, 2006 (3:56 pm)
My 2000 Tundra has 135000 miles on it. I recenly had the carrier bearing replaced because the rubber seal was ruptured. Now the drive shaft vibrates. The dealer says I need a new drive shaft and wants aboout $850 to replace it. It took them over 4 hours to replace the carrier bearing. I think they damaged the drive shaft when replacing the bearing. Any comments or suggestions??? Thanks Papalou56
