#1953 of 1963 Re: Satellite radio issue by mrtoad3 Mar 22, 2009 (1:24 pm)
Replying to: farmerrube (Feb 24, 2009 7:03 pm) I have been thinking about adding XM radio to my truck and remembered that for the first few months after buying my '08 with NAV/Bluetooth that it had 2 satellite stations accessible by pushing SAT button on the radio. After a year, those stations are gone and my SAT button is not operational. Is there a built-in satellite tuner in the radio/NAV system? Does anyone know what to do to get it to reactivate so I can get the code to begin XM connection? The dealer had no clue how to proceed.. Thanks to anyone who can help.
#1954 of 1963 Increased gas mileage by riser May 04, 2009 (11:38 am)
I read that a K&N intake would increase gas mileage. I just bought a new 2009 and although 16-17 is OK, if I can increase it a few mpg, so much the better. Has anyone used this and did it work? Replies to this message: 1972ck (Jun 11, 2009 2:33 pm)
#1955 of 1963 07 work truck by diesel35 May 05, 2009 (4:04 pm)
I am a contractor in phoenix AZ. I have owned a lot of trucks 150's, super duty, Dodge 2500 diesel, 3500 diesel. Still have the Dodge 3500 4x4 dually. My 07 Tundra 5.7 standard cab long bed 2wd is by far the best all around truck. I tow a covered work trailer every day. the trucks performance, handling, braking, is the best. Reading the complaints on here, i don't think they know the difference between piston slap and a very minor timing chain noise. This truck is flawless. I drive it very hard. 5 and 6000 RPM is very common, while towing. Replies to this message: riser (May 06, 2009 7:12 pm)

Replying to: diesel35 (May 05, 2009 4:04 pm) Thanks, man. I drove 3 F-150's back in the late 70's. Over 150-180K each, a lot on pipeline ROWs, and never had any problems. But since then, I've heard about a lot of issues. This time, I drove a new F-150 Platinum home to show it off to my wife, and when I pulled up the back seat to show how much room was there, the handle for the seat broke and wouldn't release the seat. She just started laughing and said I'd be an idiot if I didn't just test drive a Toyota. SO I now own the Tundra Luchese 4WD TRD package. It's not as soft riding, but solid and doesn't get as good mileage (17.5 the 1st tank), but everything works!! The back seat isn't as roomy for my dog box, but it is just as comfortable and tricked out. I think I'm going to enjoy passing every Ford I see!!
#1957 of 1963 Dash Rattle by bwayno May 07, 2009 (5:50 am)
I own a '08 dc trd. From the get go there has been a rattle in the dash somewhere behind the glove box. Really notice it at low speeds on concrete streets. Also a suspension shudder at low speeds over not even big bumps. The rattle seems to coincide with the suspension shudder. Dealer changed out a clip that they said would fix the problem. They said there was a TSB on it. Still have the rattle. I'm ready to go in the dash myself but need a little help disassembling the dash. Any help out there.
#1958 of 1963 door rattle, yota4truk by yota4truk May 07, 2009 (11:38 am)
during cooler temps noticed rattle "in dash", turned out if I open the door, it goes away?? some stuff too close together I guess...
#1959 of 1963 TRD swaybar by mrtoad3 May 18, 2009 (6:44 pm)
I am considering an install of the TRD swaybar and was wondering if it would really help with cornering roll control etc. Would it be much stiffer. I have the TRD pkg but not the aftermarket swaybar. Am looking to improve the roll in corners at higher speeds without lowering the truck. Any suggestions or past experiences? Thanks.

#1960 of 1963 Brake life? by nwalker1 May 19, 2009 (6:13 pm)
How long are the brakes lasting on the Tundra's? My 2000 Chevrolet Silverado extended cab with the 5.3L lasted over 140,000 miles of hard use. I really do like the Tundra's and I hope the brakes are lasting over 100,000 before any service is needed!
#1961 of 1963 Re: TRD swaybar [mrtoad3] by cruemax08 May 21, 2009 (9:51 am)
Replying to: mrtoad3 (May 18, 2009 6:44 pm) Yes the TRD bar really helps with the cornering roll and greatly improves the transient responses of the truck in corners. 45 minute install at most. Well worth it. If you stick with the OEM 18" off road tires, those will be your biggest issue with cornering after this upgrade. Replies to this message: mrtoad3 (Jul 07, 2009 8:51 am)
#1962 of 1963 Re: Increased gas mileage [riser] by 1972ck Jun 11, 2009 (2:33 pm)
Replying to: riser (May 04, 2009 11:38 am) I had a K&N intake on my last Tundra and it reacted the exact opposite way. It decreased my fuel economy. If the engine is sucking in more air then the air/fuel ratio sensor adjusts the fuel accordingly. My mileage went down not up, I wasn't impressed to say the least.
