#6 of 490 Tundradude question? by poonjobie Nov 04, 2003 (11:30 am)
What year is your Tundra? And do you have the regular front seats or the capt chairs? Thanks for the info.

Mine is a 2002 and I have the captain chairs. However, my first Tundra was a 2000 regular cab with the bench seat, and it was very comfortable as well.
#9 of 490 Warning! Tundra Transmission Failure by wisconsinite Nov 07, 2003 (10:49 am)
I own a 2001 Toyota Tundra and the transmission failed at 65,000 miles. This was especially disturbing since this truck has done little work except for pulling a 16 foot fishing boat. Most the miles were highway miles. I was planning on owning this truck beyond my 3 year payment schedule and was driving it accordingly. Toyota did authorize replacement of the transmission even though the warranty ended at 60,000 miles but I still had about $850 out-of pocket and 16 days lost use of the vehicle due to poor service from the dealerships located in Central Wisconsin. I’ve owned 4 Toyotas but this will probably be my last and I WILL NOT deal with the dealerships in this area again.

#10 of 490 03 Tundra Squeak by canno Nov 08, 2003 (8:25 am)
I have 2003 Tundra Limited Step side that has 1,500 miles on it. At about 800 miles it started squeaking, it sounds like its coming from the rear but I'm really not sure. It's going into Toyota on Monday 11/10/03 to be checked out. Has anybody else had bad squeaks or any suggestions before I get to the Dealer ? Also I have looked and looked for a soft cover for the Bed. I have checked with several manufactures like extang but they all say that the drop of the back rail is the problem with making a cover for the truck.

In the four years we've own our Avalon and been to the dealer for service, I have seen two Tundra's have their transmissions replaced. On one it failed at 40,000 miles. Dusty
#12 of 490 Tundra Engine Knocking and squeak in the rear by lowell5 Nov 10, 2003 (5:24 pm)
In response to yro message. I own a 2001 Tundra with 38,000 miles and I have used regular unleaded gas since I bought it and now I have been noticing some light knocking at low speeds (up to 45 mph). At higher speeds I do not notice it. Was going to call Toyota but will probably get the response you did; use a higher grade of gas. I will change grades of gas to see if it stops it. Also that rear squeaking noise I had checked and the Toyota service guy where I bring my truck for service said it was nothing. I have not noticed it lately. I will post another message if I find anything else different than changing gas for the knocking noise from my dealership.
#13 of 490 01 tundra vibration by mos55 Nov 13, 2003 (5:38 am)
I have a 01 tundra with 43k. I have developed a vibration at speeds above 35 miles per hour. Have new Goodyear Eagle tires. The vibration seems to only be in the left front. Have had tires checked for balance-out-of-round, rotated, wheels checked for out-of-round! Have had another person say he has the same problem but above 60 miles hour. Anyone have this problem? (Dealer has no clue, but will be glad to look $70.00 hr.
#14 of 490 Vibration, Noises by robber3 Nov 14, 2003 (6:49 pm)
I am addressing the problem with the vibration.If you don't have Factory tires this Problem can exist.I also know that you will get a clicking or clanging noise at times that is the ABS Actuater.This sounds like its coming from the rear, and is normal. This is normally heard after starting the Truck and when you first get over 6 mph. This noise may sound different to different people.I will talk about not using Factory installed Tires later.
#15 of 490 vibration by p100 Nov 14, 2003 (7:36 pm)
If you just got new tires and you did not experience this vibration problem before, most likely you have a bad tire or even more likely they balanced them wrong. And balanced them wrong second time and third time around. I would not believe that this is possible, but I have experienced this myself with my Nissan pickup where the only problem was systematic incompetence of the people balancing the tires. Try somebody else - also some Toyota wheels require special flange adaptors to balance properly. There can obviously be other sources of vibration - but tires are always the prime suspect. Quality of many tires nowadays is questionable, and this is why I stick with Michelins. I got 78K troublefree miles (after I finally found a place that balanced them properly) out of a set of Michelin LTX M/S on my Nissan 4X4.
