I'm wondering about that stuck caliper theory. I've changed u-joints, inner bearing to the tighter aftermarket one (OEM was fine when I pulled it out), new CV and hub w/bearings. I also had to replace the ABS wiring harness since the caliper fell off the hanger and broke the line when I did...

James Baroud Our JB Evasion does just fine with the awning on the passenger side as well. No real wind noise with the sunroof closed. No noticeable drop in MPG either. We have it mounted on Thule aero cross bars.

I'm with you on the overfill. I don't see my problem as being a shudder issue. I rarely drive it, so it has mostly been sitting for the past six months. I noticed that on my way to the trails it was slipping out of 4th there, but after crawling around on the trails for a couple hours it...

It will do it at those speeds and higher. Like yours it's when I'm lightly accelerating.

Not sure what is going on. My tranny acts like it is slipping out of gear momentarily when in 4th and below 2K rpm. Hard to describe. Feels like when you pull a heavy trailer and the trailer hits a bump and it jolts the truck. Doesn't do it in any other gear and it gets better after TFT heats...

x2 on the sway bar bushing suggestion.

Glad it worked for you. Mine didn't. I'm starting to wonder if the new hub I put in has a bad bearing or if it's a motor mount or possibly left rear bearing. Vibe/hum is there from 65 -75, but goes away if I turn the wheel slightly to the left and also changes with suspension movement -...

I just sent you a PM. I have a V6 that has this same vibe that has steadily gotten worse over the last 5K miles. I've replaced CV, U-joint, Hub/bearing, full tranny service/fluid exchange, shudder additive (didn't need it, but tried it too), special Toyota wheel balancing using the lug centric...

I have the same hum/vibration. Have you had any luck figuring it out? I'm looking at having the tires road force balanced as I have already serviced the transmission, replaced U-joints, Hub/bearings and CV. If the tires aren't the problem, I wonder what else could cause it. What are you...

I know this is an old thread, but I have an 05 V6. I'm currently looking for a motor/tranny combo to swap. Will both the motor and tranny from a Taco or FJC slip right in or will I have to swap over electronics with it?

Nice. Did you keep your stock UCA and rear springs?

2005 V6 with 218K. No CEL or other codes right now, but the PO cleared a PO306 code and added gasket sealer to the radiator then sold it to me as "problem free". I found the code later and erased it and it hasn't come back in 2+k miles over the past couple weeks. PO is a douchebag, but I love...
