    Hearing a rattle......

    I've had the exact same problem EXACTLY as you described it above. I read as many of the postings for this topic carefully eliminating outside then interior possibilities. I tried Koz's suggestion about taping the D rings on both sides. It actually appears to be working. Also purchased silicone...

    4WD (H4) on V6 destroys transmission?

    can 4h run at any speed? OK I've read through this thread. I have an 06 V6 SR5. What is not clear to me is can you run in H4 w/o differential lock at any speed all day long OR do you have to keep the speed under 62? Thanks guys!

    how to drain and refill sealed transmission?

    was at the dealer yesterday for oil and differential changes. Made me aware of the sealed tranny and consequently NO need to ever replace. Are you guys doing this simply for peace of mind?:D

    Bredemann Toyota-park Ridge IL

    Agree. Have used this dealer on several occasions. Done things correctly first time, in timely manner and so far no hard sells of "extras" not needed.

    What is the difference between V6 vs V8

    Recently bought an 06 SR5 pretty much stock (V6). Just added portable magellan GPS. I wondered for those of you with a V8 is it full-time AWD without a high/low transer case like the V6 4x4 or what is the difference besides the larger engine?

    suspension clunking noise

    all responses greatly appreciated! Broke down and took the truck into the dealer. Had a wheel alignment done 1 month ago and apparently a camber bolt came loose. they tightened it and this appears to have fixed the problem! I'll keep my fingers crossed!

    Hello, 06 SR5 13000 miles. My question, when pulling out of my garage and making an extreme right turn of the wheel (as if the wheel cannot turn any further) I notice a clunking noise right front suspension but no problem when the wheel straightens out. Also, not a problem when I drive it. Is...

    Used turtle wax brand "ICE" wax and love it

    I've used ice on my 06 sr5 for the past year and then add nxt wax to seal the deal. Before the wax ice seemed to last maybe several months but not bad for chicago weather. I'd recommend it as a polish. Easy on and off.
