I have a 2003 sr5 6cyc that needs a lot of work.I love my truck. I have A hard time keeping up with getting my truck fixed. I miss my truck being cherry. There's a lot of haters out here.
Windshield repair. Driver side mirror gear shift repair. Timing belt. Oil leak.
20 happy trouble free years & 335K with my 4.7 Tundra Thank you Japan for adopting lessons from the great Dr. Deming. Right after Detroit foolishly slammed the door in his face !
It's amazing how very few people know about Dr. Deming and how his TQL method rebuilt Post War Japan's economy/society into what it is today.
Beside the frame mine’s been a tank. Had to replace a mass air flow sensor once.
My uncles 99 tacoma has 480k miles and he's only changed a radiator a starter and of course the routine maintenance.
Just changed my 2nd Timing Belt, etc... at 180,000. Halfway there in catching up to you!
360,000 on my first gen 4x4 v8
Just hit 395,000 miles on my 2003 Tundra, best truck I've ever owned! Luckily I've had none of the 5 issues mentioned. Thanks for posting this informative video! Thumbs up!
You're lucky. I got an 05 V8 SR5. One damn problem after another. Had to replace the rack and pinion within 5 years. A couple of years ago I had to replace the starter, driveshaft, and U-joints all at the same time. Now there is a leak somewhere in the radiator because my coolant is going... somewhere. The secondary air pump also needs to be replaced. That, and I haven't driven it in a couple of years because of all of the issues, so the tires I'm sure need to all be replaced and have the oil system cleaned out, brakes/calipers, AND a full tune-up. Ugh, I hate being an adult.
@@TheJokesterSCR Oh wow! I have an 05 V8 SR5 Double Cab and the only issues I've had with mine was needing the U-joints changed (not by Toyota who claims you must replace the entire driveshaft) and batteries, and now my back window doesn't roll down (ran across this while just watching all sorts of videos on the 1st gen Tundras while looking for videos on that rear window). I've got 155k miles on it. Thank goodness mine has been awesome to me. I feel bad for you having so many issues with yours though.
I had a 2000 and a 2006 Tundra. The 5 biggest problems in the northeast is 1, rust. 2, rust. 3, rust. 4, rust. 5, rust. Pretty much all issues resulted from that despite all frame recalls, scaling undercoating etc.....including the exhaust manifold in the 2000, and I went though two power steering racks in the ‘06. Also the usual sensors, ball joints, broken leaf springs, rusted gas tank straps, and so on and so forth. Even with that said, the 2006...or last year for first generation Tundra with 4 doors, 4WD, V-8 TRD package was the best truck ever created for the average Joe or Jane. Mine went 214k and I sold it to my mechanic who had the wherewithal to keep it on the road as his daily driver.
Lol. I'm in Iowa I understand brother!
Thanks for your video. I would like to add number 6: Front brakes were engineered too small. Toyota put out a service letter about it and was upgrading the calipers and pads for free during the original warranty period. You may not have noticed this if you never towed or never drove in the mountains. But if you towed in the mountains, you would definitely know it. Down right dangerous! I upgraded mine at NAPA for around $200 with core returns. Much better!
I have a 2006 tundra sr5 with the 4.0l V6. I have had no problems with it whatsoever . The only thing is normal routine maintenance of course. I've had it for 16 years and looking forward to another 16 years, Awesome truck!!!
1a has been slowly improving their content im very impressed
Had the Strawberry Milkshake...Caught it early. Most important advice I got from an old mechanic. Flush it and over flush it with this cheap fluid and then replace with factory fluid. Flushed it with 60 gallons of cheap. After that drop the pan new seal. Add a separate cooler to avoid the mess later. This job was a mess and I cried in my garage once. You want the pump to pull the fluid thru to flush it. Years later and all is good. When I put it in gear I get the satisfaction of being lucky.
Damn I have the V8 04 Tundra so far none of these issues, but I better keep an eye on these things thanks for the heads up
Your manifolds leaking without you knowing
my o6 tundra still new 80000mi ,none of these problem
@@phetsamonekeopraseuth2650 800000 miles are you serious
@@phetsamonekeopraseuth2650 I’ve got 184k on a 06 sr5 crew cab
Just replace the radiator every 150-200k to avoid the biggest issue on this list by far and you're golden my man.
Ah yeah, 218k on my 02 4.7 rwd and runs great! Front rotors and upgraded calipers / front stabilizer link / radiator/ exhaust manifold... rearend rusted out and finally ruined the diff, but had been backed into salt water a bunch with first owner. I got a used one with 450k and it is perfect. Love it so much i'm getting it painted!
One more problem......this rust has some truck on it! 😂
There was a recall on that
Toyota replaced my entire frame.
@@brettstover1850 do you think they’d replace mine now? Lol mine never got recalled and it looks awful sadly. Love love love my truck, but the frame is sadly rusted to hell.
Love my 03 Tundra, 390,000 miles and still going strong. Brought it new and driven every day
I’ve never had one problem with my first gen tundra to this day. Things are bullet proof
I bought mine used 5 yrs ago it is 04 and drives great . Had timing belt water pump and serpinteen belt changed . The transmission fluid and filter changed .the engine coolant replaced it's been very reliable drives smoothly . Can't say that for many trucks 17 yrs old .
i'm looking for a tundra .....this video was just what i needed ....thanks
Now that’s a good RUclips video ! Thank you I’ve got a 2001 tundra 3400 v6 and all your tundra videos are very helpful.
Thanks for the video and the heads up. So far I've changed the radiator and alternator. Previous owner has really took care of the truck. I've been blessed to have my 2003 Tundra SR5 V6 so far no issue and I'm about to hit 200k.
Just got a 2006 access cab with 90k miles in 2023. I had the steering rack replaced, the brakes, the lifted suspension, the tires, the axles, the timing belt/water pump and the exhaust. Had the bottom undercoated and its in for a paintjob now. Also changed the headlights and added 12 hole injectors. It already had an intake. Hoping to keep it for at least 200k more miles.
I think they're one of the most reliable trucks out there Even after 20 years. Good on fuel economy, Ride smooth. Just an overall good truck
270K on my 2000 Tundra 4WD. So far I've had to replace the radiator, ball joints, shift column box, tie rods, struts, rack bushings, rear glass, radio, front grill. I Love this work truck.
This guy is fantabulous. Great info, great delivery.
I am an original owner of a 2002 tundra. I really love this truck and I've had virtually no problems with it at all. Just rolled 200,000 and the only things I have had to do is replace the O2 sensor. One other thing I have found this from what I understand is common to these vehicles has all the bolts on top of the intake manifold tend to loosen up overtime and you develop an oil leak. A little snug in once every six months or so will help eliminate that. I am really thankful for this video is during the winter time I get that ticking noise this video talked about. Something to watch out for
I’ve got an 02 as well. One thing I found to be an issue is the hard shifting, especially around 1-3 gear
Yes, hard shifting 02' here, just like u say. But still going with 190.
I've had most of the other issues he explained lol
Head over heels for my 2003 Sequoia!! Best rig I've ever had, by far!! Just rolled 234,567 last Sunday. It was a memorable moment, lol. Timing Belt went out, but PTL it didn't lock up my engine, so replaced last year. O2 sensors next, but other than that, it's been a dream!!! Can't imagine driving anything else, EVER!!!
Brilliant work there, thank you for getting all those possible problems listed in such a short time. One serious problem I had was the mice or baby rats got up under the top cover and chewed up my smog sensor wiring, and that is a big problem to fix as one has to take the whole top off to be able to get to the problem. They actually chewed the sensor wires off to make a nest under my hood. Very common problem it appears. That was on my 2006 Toyota Tundra 427 standard cab truck. Thank you again, guy, well done.
Great video, I have a 2005 Toyota Tundra with 132K miles and will have to watch out for these issues. So far my only real problem with this truck has been rust. Specifically some frame rust in the front passenger side frame and also the rear driver side frame above the spring mount. Its really odd because the rest of the frame is solid with very little rust except these 2 spots.
6. Thin vertical windshield is a stone magnet. 7. Steering column rust. 8. Drivers door handle mount 9. Rear leaf springs. 10. Frame rust recall. 11. Hood latch. 12. ABS speed sensor. 13. Door lock actuators. Many of these are just maintenance, but being an original 06 Tundra owner, 178k in town work miles, rust belt state, have fixed all the above issues. Still the best truck on the road. Just keep an eye out for these things as well. Budget for tires and gas, especially on the crew cab.
2000 Tundra with 180k. I do a drain and fill on my transmission fluid every other oil change. Uses no oil.
Dealer replaced front rotors because of warping. Second set warped also. I bought a drilled rotor set with no problem since. I plan to upgrade my front brakes and calipers on the next pad change to POWER STOP KC232436 $400 because I tow a travel trailer with mine.
Had to change the radiator a few months ago. Window motor on drivers side went out about a year ago. Changed ball joints to prevent known failure. Changed timing belt 2x. Changed serpentine belt 2x with pulley time change to prevent failure. Changed a front O2 sensor about 10 years ago. All this is normal for a 22 year old truck. It's a great truck with no big issues so far. I have foolishly been looking at new trucks. The new Tundra is butt ugly and I have been eyeing a Ford.....but I just can't do it because I know I will regret it. I'll just keep my old tundra until the market comes back down. I'm not even sure the new Tundra will be dependable with the turbo V6.
I did have the ball joint issue on my 2000 Tundra but odd problem was the rear axel bearings went bad which surprised the mechanics which also caused the ABS system act up. Thought I had warped front brake disc turned out the ABS sensors were dirty due to leaking axel grease. No problem with the exhaust manifold maybe it's because I have the TRD stainless steel headers installed when they first came out.
Informative video,
These videos are super helpful! Keep them up!
#7: Frame Rust - Toyota Recall/Rework Toyota "Inspected" and "Reworked" the Frame on my 2005 Tundra (SR5, 4.7L V-8, 4X4, Double Cab, TRD) to address a Frame Rust issue that can result in Frame Failure. The Dealer we purchased our Tundra from (new) performed the inspection and "Repairs" to address the condition they found. They deemed our Tundra's Frame to be in the condition that only required them to spray the Frame with their approved coating. Within a short period, we had RUST coming out from behind the coating the Toyota Dealer applied to keep the Frame from rusting!
We expressed our concern that the "Repair" performed to address a DEFECT in workmanship and/or materials was not working and seemed to make it worse than before! We brought it to the attention of both the Toyota Dealer and Toyota USA on multiple occasions and were told, "your Tundra has been REWORKED and nothing else can be done".
Our Tundra has 97,000 actual, one owner miles on it. It's in excellent condition. People who see it, can't believe it's a 2005. Every time we bring it in for service we ask the Toyota Dealer to inspect the Frame to ensure our Frame is not going to fail due to this defect, the invoice does not reflect our request for inspection. When asked about it, we get a verbal "it's OK".
We love both of our Toyota's (with this issue being the exception). MANY customers have complained the REWORK did NOT work and get new Frames installed by Toyota. We are going to need a new vehicle soon. It's safe to say, we are looking at all of our options.
Hey TOYOTA... make it right, fix your mistake on our Toyota Tundra!!!
Nice. Great video. Very detailed. Love this guys content. Keep makin videos on 1st gen tundras. Thats what i own.
Steel stik fixes cracked manifolds. Just make sure to go past the crack about an inch, and use a putty knife or utility razor to pack the crack SLIGHTLY. Steel stik is different from the metal the manifold is made of, therefore it will expand and shrink at different rates and temperatures. Over packing can actually cause your crack to expand dramatically.
Wow you hit everything on the spot with my tundra.
Gonna buy a 06 tundra tomorrow with 203 thousand miles. I’ve had bad luck with previous vehicles but I have faith that a tundra will do me good
Did you get it?
Thanks for the heads up, I will keep an eye open for these issues with my 2003 Toyota Tundra with 389,621 miles!!! I actually got my first check engine light (p0031- bank1, sensor 1 heater circuit malfunction) since 10,000 miles (was an evap issue related to factory recall with crack in filler neck). I think the issue with that Toyota was it was in the north and rusty, 🤦🏼♂️! My biggest issue was the female dear I hit a month ago driving to the Gulf of Mexico to surf fish. Make sure you add “hitting dear” to list of top problems please
Hopefully you hit a DEER, not a dear....lol
The "Strawberry Milkshake of Death", or SMOD, is caused by a simple soldered connection not being made quite strong enough, by whatever supplier they used. When this happened to my Ridgeline, the transmission lasted about two years before giving up the ghost. Mind you, it already had 250k miles on it.
The noises are great haha. Honestly helpful, thanks
There's a company called Hewitt technology they sell a bypass smog pump easy diy plug in, its cheaper than spending thousands replacing the actual secondary air pump. My car would make a loud whistle on startup now it dosent. No more check engine light either.
Thank you, great info!
installed on my truck and it works great!
Thanks for the info on the 1st gen Tundras. Very informative & great content. Looking forward to more. BTW....I have a 03 SR5 Tundra access cab. with 617,000K on it's. The best truck I've ever owned & gonna try to get the holy grail # 1 million mile mark on the original drivetrain.
Sweet, how's your transmission been shifting throughout the years?
nice i have a 2002 that just hit 400k and it still runs and drives better than a new truck and i know people say that but its true. original everything besides brakes tires etc
@spartacusnow lol excuse me? who's profits? certainly not my own and that's the only one I care about. definitely not concerned with the finances of nameless, faceless corporations that also couldn't care less about me
also, Toyota did buy back a one million mile Tundra from it's owner.... on two separate occasions. so there's that. it is also kind of an honor. the trucks are now on display.
Thats incredible! I have 225,000 on mine. You ever have the problem with it not wanting to shift?
How many timing belts and water pumps?
Sweet video I actually learned a bunch
It is a great video. Very informative. I am sure taking notes. You have a new subscriber.
Good information. I have to say I must be lucky with my 2005 4.7 as I have not experienced any of these issues and I am at 246k and this truck has never let me down.
+Eric Oestreich Thanks for the feedback!
@toyotamaintenance should watch these videos just to see the rust!
Leaking rear diff seems to be pretty common too
I love the 1st gen Tundra!!! My dream Tundra is a 06 with low miles and super clean it has to be bluesteel metallic and a double cab but those are very rare and expensive, also im looking for an 00-06 tundra access cab so that it isnt to expensive anywhere in florida under 4-5k thanks guys!
The sound effects were actually very helpful for me.
This is the best automotive channel ever
Love your videos. I have a burning smell in my new to me tundra 5.7 2007 cab. It’s not oil or radiator fluid or gas or sulfur. It’s smells like a dirty engine. Also it has all season tires and a hum with heavy acceleration and deceleration. The dash bounces at 30 mph and under while braking. Diagnostics say 1 and 2 cylinder problem. They didn’t give me the codes.
The only problem I’ve ever had with my first tundra was exactly a cracked manifold. Annoying but I sometimes let it run LOUD 😆
Clean it up & JB weld ... Done.
Had same problem with manifold..... did change oil and ad 2 pints of Lucas oil with my regular oil, no more cracking noise in the morning, it's been 3 years now and no problem.
A cracked manifold? You mean exhaust obviously right? Man intak....that would be disastrous.
Yep on the secondary air pump on my 05 Tundra 4.7. First mechanical issue in 11 years!
My 2003 3.4l Tundra sr5 has been the most reliable car by far. I’ve gone through three cars with this one lasting at 155,000 miles. Hopefully I can hit 400k
I have an 06 tundra 4.7 with 219k. I love it! Just replaced the alternator yesterday. Having problems with the driver's door panel. (Clips broke) and driver's window. (Bolt came out of track brace inside and now it's slow. Gets stuck completely when it's raining but I pull up on it and it's good once it gets halfway)
Dude, you are awesome. Thanks for the explanations.
GREAT video! Thanks!
I have a 2006 V8 model and it currently has 260,000 miles and I have not had any problem whatsoever since I had this truck. I’ve replaced parts over the years just to stay ahead of it but I have not had any transmission repair or work done whatsoever and the transmission in this truck feels exactly the same as it did the day I drove it off the lot.
Good info
Dealing with the secondary air injection pump right now. Had to replace the ball joints when I bought it. Great truck tho! '05 Tundra
In a day of inflated new truck prices, mt choice lead me to buy a '05 because of my research online made me to lean towards finding and buying either a '05 or '06 because of their high reliability ratings. 1 week in and glad I made the right decision.
Nice video. What's funny is all the people who swear by these toyota trucks and say that nissan trucks won't hold up. 3 of the problems he laid out are the same as what a nissan titan owner would have to be watching for. And some are common in just about every brand as it ages. Which just further proves my point that it doesn't matter what badge is on the front it's all about taking care of things as they arise and bring on top of maintenance.
+Garryd Hintz Thanks for the feedback!
I’m actually in the market for a truck right now and people are telling me to stay away from the Titans. I honestly think they look good and they’re priced way cheaper than a tundra but why are they the cheapest trucks on the market I’m not sure.
very informative,.. getting ready to possibly but a 2002 tundra and am researching what to look for and examine in my prebuy inspection,,. After your and others videos I plan on taking it to my mechanic for a full inspection..yours was pretty much the best and informative but I think the timing belt should hve bee discussed, and, if your into suggestions, slow down in your rush to what, get more in in less time, ?, not sure, but you made me nervous with the frantic nature of your speech. But, still great info. thanks, Larry…
What an awesome video! I'm actually in the market for a first GEN tundra and watching this video gave me a bunch of tips to look for when buying.
The host is very well spoken and gives great descriptions of all the problems! Thanks for the help!
Does Scotty knows about it ?? :-))
lol 😂
Hahahahaha
Scottys recommendation....buy a 90’s Celica 😂
No becuz hes to busy making 3 goodbye videos every month about how hes gonna loose his channel for the last 5 years
That guy's a hater.
I don't know why the best 1st generation Toyota Tundra doesn't have in-line 6 Turbodiesel?
Fyi the secondary air pump problem is for 05-06 they didn’t have them before 05.
How you didn’t mention frame rot is unbelievable as it’s probably one of the most serious and common issues.
You probably should have mentioned timing belt and i only say this as there are a lot of 1st gen tundra owners who dont even realize the 4.7 has one.
@James Carroll yup
Honestly the timing belt is an owner problem. If you don't know if your car has a belt or chain forsure, that's on you lol. Plenty of V8s of all manufacturers had the belt
So I’m liking your video.. I have a trd v8 sr5. It came with 2 converters. 1 for each 4 then almost straight Bach to high flow muffler’s and straight out the back. Wanna see it? Just replace the frame a year ago.
Also just to say this.. the og frame had a recalled. I did have a e brake issue. But when I replaced the frame it was a fix it wile were here. Along with springs joints shocks brake lines fuel tank straps etc. it’s over 250,000 on the engine and transmission. It like to crack coils.🤷♂️ I do have the tick tick at start up. But as you say just let it warm up and it’s gone. Not worth tearing it apart. Hmm 🤔 also the headlamps turned milky after 15 years.easy fix but notable.
Best motor ever made!
If you get a tundra this year model you'll love it. Just make sure you replace the lower ball joints asap lol
14 años sin ningún problema la mejor camioneta que pude haber elegido
when a truck goes 500,000 miles you are going to get rusted bolts. unlike a $100,000 Dodge Ram that the engine locks up after a year.
Jsut got a 2003 toyota tundra 115k miles runs like a champ an sounds happy
Looking at a couple of different Tundras, one with 312k, so appreciate this list!
Try for 220
these issues are not common unless you are in the rust belt.
I have an 03, caught the radiator problem prior to failure. After driving it for an hour, got home shut it off and as I walked by the front end I heard a very faint hiss. It was a sound you could tell wasn’t normal. I was able to isolate it, ordered a factory replacement radiator and swapped it just shy of 2 hrs. Seems ridiculous that Toyota used plastics in the radiator 😒 Love my truck though 🤙
Thanks for the post I'm going to go listen for the hiss.
U guys r awesome
The O2 sensor after the CAT has a heater element. My O2 sensor failed because the heater element died. It cost me $45.00 and 20 minutes of my time to fix it. There was a Toyota recall campaign for ball joints where they did free replacements. My 2004 V-6 Tundra still has the original brakes and clutch. It can get up to 25 MPG depending on driving conditions. Except for the O2 sensor, the truck has been bulletproof.
+moose354 Thanks for the feedback!
Similar story my04 only had brakes done twice. About to do the valve cover gaskets. Everything else has been easy maintenance.
Damn informative video - thank you man!
+Henry Marks Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
With all of the rust on this particular truck it has bigger issues than any of the things you mention in the video....lol. Great video and very informative. Thanks!!
Wow nice information 😊
Very nice video. Subscribed 🙌
+C Thanks for the feedback!
God ball joint issues was taken care of in 04 my 06 over 300k rural Nevada roads only one c 10:43 10:44 v booth
Good video. The 2000 doesn't have a secondary air injection pump, considering the cost of the part I'm glad it doesn't. I think they were on the 05 and later VVTI motors, not sure? Looking at that terminal rust on the tundra in the video, I'm happy to live in the SW, I have a 23 year old Tundra zero rust and just 90K.
Thank you
On 2000 Toyota Tundra, Toyota had a recall on O2 Sensors for V-8. I took mine to be exchanged, where they parked the vehicle, about an hour later told me it was ready, then I was on for a 960 mile trip, where the check engine light came on. Which I went in the dealer when they took my truck only a few minutes. Then I sat outside the rest of the time, where my truck was parked on the otherside of a barricade, which if they replaced the sensors, they would have had to drive it past me to park where it was.
Like I had my drive belt replaced at the dealership. Where few, including myself know what to look for after allowing a dealership to service our vehicles. Which after some time, I was looking to see the wear gauge for the drive belt. They didnt install it back on the engine. Only leaves me asking did they leave something else out?
Like my dad taking his car to the Ford dealer, where his car had a miss. Mechanics told him he had a miss on #7 cylinder, which is absolutely terrible news, as the car only had a V-6!!!
My vehicle was a 2000 Toyota Tundra.
Which its really ashame to pay such outrageous prices when you get inferior service!!!
Which at one time, there was a breed of person where they really loved cars and trucks. Where they were also raised with a sense of pride or call it dignity in their work, since some would want to play with the word pride. Where they took their skills and craftsmanship seriously. It seems now, some think they want to be a mechanic, so go to school, learn what they have to learn, then delve into, so called repairing cars. More like parts changers. Which quality mechanics, they already enjoy cars and engines, where theyve played with them enough, they acquire a feel for anything that may be wrong, then fix it. Today, plug it into a machine which simplifies diagnostics, but as a miss on #7 cylinder on a V-6???
Which if dealerships are going to charge such high prices, you would think they'd screen applicants for having dignity in their work, good knowledge, in contrast to get them in, get them out. There are many good and honest mechanics, no doubt. But, when theres others in the work vicinity, where a vehicle is taken in, then simply circled around and parked for an hour plus, the attendant as well as others should take note of this as the one who takes your keys and gives you paperwork right there at the entrance, theyre not stupid, but they dont say anything. Probably for fear of repercussions.
Never can tell, the fellow may been up late drinking. Drive vehicle in, reset diagnostic code, park in parking lot, hour later, they release the vehicle as being serviced, but, it would have had to been driven past me, where it was not. Initially, I assumed, they may have popped them out and popped them in, then parked it. I was preoccupied with other things at the time, but enroute to my dstination 900+ miles away, here comes my sensor light back on.
Which, wonder why businesses as 1A and TRQ have a business? Many know if they are going to have repairs made, if they can, as with a Chiltons Guide, theyll do it themselves, where they can trust themselves. Or they know someone else they can trust. Still saving plenty of money.
I can go on and on, like a relative telling me my truck was leaking oil as it showed up on a new drive way. My truck didn't lose oil! Where I just had my oil changed at a shop too. I opened the hood and the oil filter was all crinkled up and in one of those crinkles was a pin hole leak, which when engine was running with oil pressure, oil would squirt out. Im not saying it was the shop as there was plenty of foul play at the time, but it was councidental that the oil filter was all krinckled up looking as if someone with channel locks put a lit of force on it while tightening it. Which with a skid plate underneath, the filter wasnt readily accessible except from the top. Which a shop would drop the skid plate. Still a 3rd party could do such criminal mischief to lead a person to suspect a business top, where there was plenty of foul play.
Thank you very much
So far my 2001 Tundra Limited Access Cab is currently 142k miles and it's never gave me any trouble. Can you'll make a video on a replacing the power door lock actuator on the driver side for the 2000-2006 Toyota Tundra Access Cab models, because I want to replace the lock actuator.
2002 Ford 3500 4X4 Superduty -- I have a strange noise every once in a while coming from the left front hub that I assume has to be the wheel bearing or race. The noise is about 2 to 3 seconds in duration and is usually set off by a bump in the road. I parked the truck after the last time I heard the noise because I actually felt a little bit of drag on the forward momentum when the sound occurred. This noise has a spin-up and then a slowing stop tone to it. I've never heard any noise that I can equate it to.
Thanks for the great content you guys produce....
My tundra doesn’t have a transmission dip stick….
The Tundra in this video is rusted pretty good. This Tundra obviously lives by the ocean or in very moist climate and is probably exposed to salt. Under normal conditions a truck will not rust this bad.
Did you do the recall for the rust?
The PCV valve connects to the throttle body and sucks oil and dumps it into the cylinder #2, drivers side front cylinder. The fix is either an oil catcher/separater, or a "T" and run another vacuum hose to the top of the intake where there are unused vacuum ports. Otherwise you will clog up O2 sensors. I figured this out when changing a starter which is under the intake manifold 😳, but fortunately they last a long time if you replace with a factory Denso starter. Tucson Alternator and Starter remanufactures just Denso starters and alternators and I have never had an issue with one of their parts.
Thanks
Thanks this was helpful, I just bought one and so far no problems but I cannot find the transmission dip stick, it’s the v6
I don't think there is one -- trust me, I've looked!
I got my 01 tundra 4.7 with 150 thousands now about to hit the 400 s and i never replace anything other than batteries, oil and tires and one tume all the fluids and never replaced the timing belt and or water pump
Typically the 4.7 V8 secondary air pump replacement costs over $1,000 to replace and is complicated if not DYI, and I never heard of this air pump (if it exists) failing on the 3.4L V6
I have an 08 mercury grand marquis I hear a ticking noise in the engine but I heard it on passenger side of the engine, I hear the noise in a cold weather in the morning, I changed the oil and there was no metal came out, maybe the exhaust manifold, I'm going to check if it's the exhaust manifold
05 V8 2WD 145K: missing oil pan seal, broken oil jet, lower ball joints, fuel tank level sensor, timing belt, brake master cylinder, brake booster (twice), radiator, air injection system (fan and valves), valve cover gaskets. Fun truck, only stranded me once in 18 years...
Don't forget the starter under the intake!
@@bobaque70 when you are doing the air intake pump u do the starter too.
What about warped front rotors? And the bouncy rear warped drums. I nipped my front rotor issue in the bud a few years ago and installed the Power Stop Evolution Kit. Well worth the money. If you haven't changed the front rotors yet. Hahaha a funny one is the fuel door? Any other victims
Fuel door hinge rusted or broke have top of hinge still attached and am carefully babysitting it always. Replaced front rotors they warped then went to drilled rotors and they are good. Always skweels in reverse in the mornings but good at normal driving braking. 2000 V8 278,000 miles. Just had idler tensioner pulley bearings freeze up and snap serpentine belt. Ticking sound on left exhaust manifold when cold. Same mpg as the day I bought it NEW.
Respect 👍

5:37 if you watch that with no audio he looks insane 😂
I read this exactly at 10:47 and I just lost it at that point in the video 😂
I love my 2002 tundra 😊
Hey there. Great video. Wonder if you can give me some advice. I have a 2006 Tundra V-6. I'm getting a C1241 and C1249 code. Any thougts on what that could be? Thank you! -Troy
Awesome video! Do I need to replace the "radiator tank" (transmission cooler) on the top of the radiator? Or do I just change the entire radiator? Not sure if the first question is even possible haha.
