#7563 of 7580 2006 Tacoma engine knocking by choppedntubbed Jul 25, 2009 (5:40 pm)
I have a 2006 4 door Sport V-6. I have had it since new, and it currently has 45,000 miles on it. I just started noticing (or it just started happening) a noise that sounds like a spark plug knock. It occurs when you accelerate between 40 and 50 mph. It is similar to the sound I used to hear with the old GM V8s. It is a knocking and pinging sound. Since day 1, I have used unleaded regular. If any one could give me any insight or perspective on what to do, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

#7565 of 7580 2005 Manual Tacoma Parking Brake won't release by tjyoder Sep 08, 2009 (3:41 pm)
We have a 2005 toyota and about a year into it the parking brake started locking up. It typically happened at the lake when pulling our boat in or out. As it got worse the only way to release it was to jack up the truck and remove the tire off the side stuck and bang on the drum - released quite easily with a few taps. We took it into Toyota on warranty and they said nothing was wrong.   It just locked up on Sunday - and when trying to move with a boat on the back (not always convenient to take a tire off) - the back differential went. Now they have an e brake and rear differential to fix - thank god for extended warranties.

#7568 of 7580 Major Toyota recall affects 2005-2010 Tacomas by bigandy Sep 29, 2009 (1:20 pm)
Apparently there is a major recall of multiple Toyota models regarding floor mats on the driver's side that can interfere with the accelerator and cause a crash. It includes the 2005-2010 Tacoma and 2007-2010 Toyota Tundra. Now ya know!
#7569 of 7580 paint on plastic base of hood scoop fading by tacomaguy Oct 06, 2009 (2:58 pm)
I have the bright red paint on my '05 Prerunner pickup. The base of the hood scoop and the two door handles have all faded to almost a pink color. (I have to park it outside.) Dose anyone else have this problem and is there any recourse now? I bought it new in May of 2005 and it only has 29K miles on it. The dealer's body shop wants $300.00+ to paint those three items.
#7570 of 7580 Re: new owner experience [leob1] by buffalonickel Oct 08, 2009 (7:21 pm)
Replying to: leob1 (Feb 26, 2005 5:06 pm) Did you ever resolve the leak issue in your truck? I also own an '05 Tacoma and experience the same leak problem. I can see no evidence of it leaking from the firewall or dashboard as the carpet appears to be dry in the upper areas. The underneath of the dashboard is also dry. I am suspicious that this is coming in on the side somewhere. We are experiencing a very heavy rain--close to 6 inches over the past 12 hours. The passenger side is dry as a bone. The truck was sitting in a parking lot all day. I discovered the problem when I went out to drive the truck home.
#7571 of 7580 2006 TACOMA BED VS ICE-SNOW by greasyface Oct 15, 2009 (11:20 am)
I PURCHASED MY TRUCK THINKING IT HAD A BED LINER INSTALLED IN IT. WHEN THE WINTER SNOWS CAME I SHOVELED SNOW INTO THE BED FOR ADDED TRACTION AS I HAVE DONE INTERMITTENLY FOR YEARS WITH MY OTHER PICKUPS. TO MY SUPRIZE WHEN I WENT OUT THE NEXT MORNING MY TRUCK APPEARED TO HAVE A DUMP BED INSTALLED ON IT. THE BED WAS RAISED ABOUT TWO INCHES IN THE FRONT FROM WHERE IT WAS ORIGINALLY POSITIONED. I HURRIEDLY SHOVELED SNOW FROM THE BACK OF THE BED TO THE FRONT AND THE BED DROPPED BACK DOWN EVENTUALLY. I LOOKED AT THE BED AND DISCOVERED IT WAS MADE OF PLASTIC EXCEPT FOR THE BODY PANELS.- BAD DESIGN- F.Y.I JUST CURIOUS IF ANYBODY HAS HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE.
#7572 of 7580 2006 TACOMA ENGINE OIL LEVEL by greasyface Oct 15, 2009 (11:46 am)
MY TRUCK HAS A 2.7 FOUR CYLINDER IN IT. AFTER I BOUGHT IT I CHANGED OIL IN IT AND TOOK OFF DOWN THE ROAD TO DISCOVER THAT IT LOST ITS PEP SO TO SPEAK SO I CAME HOME AND CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AGAIN. THE OIL READING WAS EXACTLY ON THE FULL MARK WITH THE TRUCK PERFECTLY LEVEL ON LEVEL GROUND AND I HAD INSTALLED THE CORRECT TYPE OF OIL AND FILTER. I THEN PROCEEDED TO DRAIN OUT SOME OIL UNTIL THE STICK SHOWED HALFWAY BETWEEN THE ADD AND FULL MARKS AND I REGAINED MY PEP AGAIN. I AM NOW ONLY PUTTING FIVE QUARTS WITH FILTER IN MY MOTOR AT CHANGES BUT NOT USING THE FULL MARK ANYMORE . F.Y.I JUST CURIOUS IF ANYBODY HAS HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE.
