#10 of 48 Keyless Entry not making the beep sounds???? by rls3 Jan 18, 2008 (8:48 pm)
I have a 2002 Tundra SR5. My keyless entry has stopped making the beep and beep/beep when I lock and unlock doors. The doors are locked and the lights flash. Is there a quick fix or could it be a fuse problem? Would like to get it working again. Thanks
#11 of 48 drive shaft problem on 2008 Toyota Tundra by lgd Jul 22, 2008 (6:01 pm)
The drive shaft came apart from rear axle on my 2008 Toyota Tundra 4 x 4 while driving 75 mph on interstate. Has anyone had this kind of problem?

#12 of 48 Re: 2008 Tundra 5.7L Oil Requirements [gatemstr01] by aalsherri Jul 27, 2008 (7:36 am)
Replying to: gatemstr01 (Jan 10, 2008 4:47 am) Toyota told their customers for sometime that using synthetic oil is just a waste of money. Now they are filling their trucks with a very light synthetic oil !!! Unbelievable. 10W30 synthetic is considered a light oil and I see no difference between it and 0W20. When it comes to synthetic oils, the difference is viscosity is not very important. Use anything less than 10W40 and you will be fine. For conventional oils, any thing less than 10W30 is fine as long as the temperature is not too hot. In hot regions, 10W40 or 20W50 is recommended. Light oils leave the engine clean over time and therefore, I highly recommend using fully synthetic oil. Any brand synthetic oil should serve better than the best brand conventional oil. Wal-Mart sells a cheap synthetic oil but it is so good. I use it and also I use Mobile 1 10W30 for two different cars. Replies to this message: lpppalmm (Aug 08, 2008 6:00 pm)

Replying to: capt2 (Dec 04, 2007 10:03 am) If your truck is like my 2002,the fuel filter is under the truck on the drivers side along the fraim rail.I replace mine every 30000 miles.It's funny that Toyota has a service interval for adjusting the valves (I can see the average person buying an assortment of valve shims and taking there heads apart!) but they don't have one for the fuel filter.This filter doesn't look like anythong special so I can't understand why it wouldn't have to be replaced.The first time,I installed a Toyota filter,the second,a Purolator.They're easy to find.They're a little tricky to remove because Toyota didn't install a flexible line going to the filter,so there are 2 hard lines pressing tightly at both ends.I've found if you remove one of the lines from the plastic retainer,and, with a little muscle,you can angle the filter and release the lines.

Replying to: lgd (Jul 22, 2008 6:01 pm) Yes I think I might be having a similar problem. I was doing about 60 MPH on the Parkway with the cruise control on, and out of no where my vehicle started shaking, and I almost could not get it stopped. I had it towed into Toyota, they they have told me that they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I can still drive it, but it will do this on and off now. I have noticed at 30 MPH that I have a constant vibration now. Mine is a 2008 Toyota Tundra Crewmax Cab 4X4. I will be taking it back in soon to get them to look at it again. Can you please describe what happened to yours. Replies to this message: xplor8 (Jan 30, 2009 5:14 am) albamarle (Jan 30, 2009 6:24 am) albamarle (Jan 30, 2009 6:37 am)

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)
