#17 of 48 Re: how to change transmission fluid in 2008 Tundra [brendalreed] by benwimp Aug 15, 2008 (5:58 pm)
Replying to: brendalreed (Aug 01, 2008 5:25 pm) To properly change the transmission fluid in any modern day automatic you need to use a transmission flush machine which hooks into the transmission cooler lines and flushes all old fluid out and replaces with new. You can go to the dealership for this service but can also have it done at an independent shop or quick lube for around $120. JUST MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE MAINTENCE INTERVALS.

#18 of 48 2000 tundra accelerator failure by syldryn Nov 03, 2008 (7:59 pm)
my dad has this truck and has had a problem recently of the truck failing to accelerate, pushes the pedal, nothing happens. the truck just idols. if he stops and puts it in park, shuts off the engine, then restarts, the problem goes away. he thinks the cruise control might have something to do with it since everytime it has happened it has been after using the cruise. he took it to dealer a couple times for check engine light, first time they couldnt find anything wrong, problem with accelerator happened again. now they want to charge him $1300 bucks for a part and they have never heard of the problem, never sold the $1300 part. has anyone heard of or experienced this problem?

#19 of 48 2008 Tundra Clunk Noise After Take Off by harringtonway Nov 04, 2008 (7:16 pm)
I have a 2008 Toyota Tundra Regular Cab and when ever I back out of a parking space and then put it into drive and start to drive - it almost immediately makes a single clunk noise underneath. I have taken it into the dealership twice - the first time they said they could not hear it but it got worse so I took it in again and they said that the noise was normal. Has anyone else heard a similar noise coming from under their Tundra? Is this truly normal? Thanks, harringtonway Replies to this message: tymtotrn (Nov 13, 2008 9:27 pm) cajohn54 (Jan 04, 2009 6:16 pm) cajohn54 (Feb 02, 2009 11:10 am) a8fan (Feb 02, 2009 12:29 pm) tymtotrn (Feb 02, 2009 7:39 pm) cajohn54 (Feb 03, 2009 2:52 am) kd7oqc (Feb 07, 2009 7:01 pm) a8fan (Feb 07, 2009 7:08 pm)

Replying to: harringtonway (Nov 04, 2008 7:16 pm) I have a 2008 Toyota Tundra Crew Max with 10,000 miles on it, and when ever I back out of the driveway and shift into drive I hear the same noise that (HARRINGTONWAY) hears. A loud clunk. Just for your info I just got back from the dealer about 6 hours ago. They drove the truck and shifted in reverse and drive. They told me that they didnt hear any noise. I am not sure what to believe. But I can say that I didnt here any noise like this when I bought it. Not sure what to do. I was told by technician that the drive train on the Tundra is built with slack in it, to allow movement during hill or bumpy surface driving..Let me know if you here anything different. Thanks.

I have a new 2008 5.7 offroad 4wd and I hear the clunk too.   I think that there is some sort of built in governor due to the heavy tow payload which prevents it from peeling off when you step on the gas. The clunk is sort of a delay when putting it into gear.   When is the first service due on a new truck? Mine are included but I can't find it in the literature.   I have exactly 1700 miles on it now.

Replying to: harringtonway (Nov 04, 2008 7:16 pm) the door stop on my under warranty 07 regular cab broke and they are not covering under warranty.   initially i had a vibration at 15 and 25 mph and took it in said they replaced a transmission converter   the drive train in general seems to be very temper mental on my 07 5.7l auto with occasional jerks, bangs, clunks, and generally crappy transmission of power to the ground

#24 of 48 Toyota Tundra 2008 transmission noise by tymtotrn Jan 04, 2009 (8:37 pm)
I am not pleased with what seems to be ocassional transmission clunking type noises in my 08. It seems like there is slippage inside the transmission, because sometimes the truck shifts very awkwardly. Toyota in El Paso TEXAS says nothing is wrong, as they drove it and found nothing(of course).. Dont know what to do. Any comments welcome.................
