So I am washing the salt off my wifes rig this morning and I noticed rust on the rear hatch at the lower corners of the "chrome" emblem. Not real bad rust, but the paint is discolored enough that I know this will be a potential problem. Our 3rd gen also had similar issues, repaired under...

VIN 00695 Yes on the hesitation.

Hmmm. I smell troll.

He would have put it in neutral but he had one hand on the wheel and the other wrapped around his cell phone. Social Darwinisim at work. In his defense, though, that 911 call was attributed to an incompatible floor mat. What needs to be said is " what is the real issue with the accelerator? " Is...

That noise is customizable, it is in the manual right next to the seat belt chime. Sorry I couldn't resist.

About 16.6 mpg @1200 miles. The remote start and corn fed fuel probably don't help much, would expect better numbers this summer, I hope.

maybe.

I just received my running boards from southeast and I must say they look great. They are an aluminum extrusion with a rubber non slip surface, as opposed to hard plastic like those on my old 4thG. The brackets are powder coated and formed from apx 1/8" thick steel channel, they appear to be...

Is your phone switch located on the center console by your hip or is it on the steering wheel or is it on the head unit? Wish I could help you out but the OM is not nearly as good as the supplemental for the blu logic system.

I am thinking that there are two different BT options here. I have the cheapo deluxe blu logic system, not the full audio BT system described in the OM on page 360. I have a supplemental manual, apx 16 pages, which one do you have POKWA? The default passkey in the supmanual is 1234. If you have...

Have you tried another device to see if it is your phone or the system? I had three manuals in the car when I enabled my wifes phone. Really wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Just one dumb question though, your phone is Bluetooth enabled ?

No problem here. Just wanted to confirm , is it engine response or transmission lag? My 08 tundra seems to have a brain cramp when it comes to selecting a gear under the conditions which you describe. Hope this isn't a warning sign of potential accelerator problems.

There is a similar thread in a tundra forum, Tundratalk.Net, that may help folks understand the 4WD system and how the brakes and lsd work. May not pertain to this topic specifically, but I did find it informative and entertaining, and yes, I also own a 2008 tundra besides the 2010 4R.

As of 1-18-2010, there were none available in NE that I could find. I had been checking the link mentioned by Sporty87 but got tired of waiting "new products coming soon". Not quite sure how the three products offered would mount as I do not want to have to drill or jury rig. General consensus...

I do not have a garage. Removing corrosive agents from the entire vehicle is one of the best ways to protect your investment. Start with a pressure wash for the under side and a touch free for the rest of the car. You may want to refer to your owners manual, for what it is worth, in reference...
