#35 of 44 Re: 2008 Tundra Clunk Noise After Take Off [harringtonway] by cajohn54 Feb 02, 2009 (12:10 pm)
Replying to: harringtonway (Nov 04, 2008 8:16 pm) i just encountered the big clunk but it happened after a sudden deceleration and just before getting back on the power to make the turn, there was just revving and then the clunk like i had been rear ended, any more problems with yours? thanks Replies to this message: a8fan (Feb 02, 2009 1:29 pm) tymtotrn (Feb 02, 2009 8:39 pm) cajohn54 (Feb 03, 2009 3:52 am)

Replying to: cajohn54 (Feb 02, 2009 12:10 pm) Now I too am finding problems especially after carefully switching to 4HI.   I often have to do this to get back up my driveway after the plow has been there.   So I head down the street and around 20 MPH I swap to 4HI as I should..   But when I go to turn around in the next street opening, just turning the wheel brings me to a halt!!!   I can't understand it.   This is a 2008 5.7 Tundra SR5 TRD with less than 3,000 miles on it.   It's going in for its first service next week and I'm going to talk about this to them at that time.   I also am not sure how you get yourself into 4LO which I need to get out of snowbanks when the plow leaves me there....   4HI doesn't cut it.

Replying to: cajohn54 (Feb 02, 2009 12:10 pm) hey cajohn54 ,, my 2008 5.7 tundra does that same clunk almost ALL THE TIME. I took it in and they told me that the transmission is designed with slack in it. That is the clunk you hear. It almost sounds like the transmission is slipping. It is normal, from what I was told. Annoying as it is, I have learned to live with it. I guess this is the down side to a motor that puts out a tremendous amount of torque. WHAT MAKES ME WONDER THE MOST, IS THAT IT NEVER DID THAT CLUNK NOISE WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT, IT STARTED MAKING THIS NOISE AT AROUND 5,000 MILES... good luck Replies to this message: cajohn54 (Feb 03, 2009 3:52 am)

Replying to: tymtotrn (Feb 02, 2009 8:39 pm) this is not normal and is dangerous, it is like a hesitation in acceleration that is inconsistent, i would not want it happening when crossing a busy street, so i am documenting these per my attorney. thanks and remember per toyota treat tundra tenderly!

Replying to: harringtonway (Nov 04, 2008 8:16 pm) I have an 08 Double Cab 2wd with the 4.7 / 5speed auto. I've noticed the clunk too. It only happens intermittently. I am not sure that it is a transmission problem. It may be related to the stability control system pressurizing or something like that. There is a separate sound that I hear 100% of the time, and that is the ABS pressurizing. I hear a high pitch whine, then about 50 yards from my parking space I hear a clunk and the whine goes away. This sound is the ABS. If you get on a muddy road and hit the brakes, you'll hear the ABS activate and repressurize itself. (My 2000 Nissan Frontier 4wd had a similar sound when the ABS activated. I became very familiar with it off roading.)   I've got 13k miles on the truck and it runs and shifts fine, so I am not terribly worried about it. If I find out something definite, I'll post it here.   If you are really worried about it in the long run, and you don't have very many miles on your truck yet, you might try buying an extended warranty from your insurance company. Geico charges me about $5 a month for a 7 year / 100,000 mi warranty with a $250 deductible. I'll probably never need it but ... Replies to this message: a8fan (Feb 07, 2009 8:08 pm)

Replying to: kd7oqc (Feb 07, 2009 8:01 pm) I do have the extended warranty and prepaid service...which was cheaper, for 5 years. But I don't want to break down.   It's going in for its 5,000 even tho it's barely 3,000 but it's been 5 months now.
#41 of 44 toyota tundra NO START by plworking Feb 07, 2009 (8:43 pm)
I removed the battery on my toyota tundra 2004 with 4.7 V8 for several hours while I did some work on my snowplow. Now it will crank but not start. Do I need to reprogram a security key or something? Is there some security immobilizer on this vehicle?   Help, I need the truck. Note, all I have is a plain key with no chip on it that I can see.
#42 of 44 Homelink Button Lights by normh Mar 23, 2009 (9:45 am)
I'm a new Tundra owner ('06 Double Cab Ltd.) and I noticed that that 2 of the 3 homelink buttons are not illuminated when I turn my lights on. Can anyone help with bulb replacement?   Thanks,   Norm... Replies to this message: normh (Apr 01, 2009 12:22 pm)

Replying to: normh (Mar 23, 2009 9:45 am) Don't worry about replying to this post; I figured it out myself after getting a bulb part # and tip off of a Tundra Solutions web post. Remove the 2 screws in the sunglass storage bin and pull that whole assembly straight down. You can then easily remove and replace the bulbs with a small screwdriver. The Toyota part # is 90011-11038 for the bulb.   Norm....
