The all popular "NORMING" that the monitor's refer to is not working. The monitors also say to ignore posts by those few people that cause problems. It is hard to do that when there are SEVERAL every time one logs on. PLEASE END IT!!!
A valuable topic is being RUINED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hitch mysteries now. Sorry to any who have the
hard time with that. Many here seem much smarter then me. Once again tp4unc, I am so sorry as to not be as smart as the rest of them ones here. Just an old man lookin to get to the bottom of some mysteries on them hitches, didn't mean to offend anyone here now. Please find it in your heart to forgive this older one for bein a little slow.
I must say little one that you can tell some tall tales. You accused me of using foul language. Now, for everyone to see, please list the specific post # in which this accured. tp4unc Knows you have lied and misrepresented yourself as someone(s) your not. I also know your dirty little secret. Please don't weap and wail like an old woman in her broken down chevy now. I'm not trying to offend, just tellin the facts. Good luck on this one now, your really going to need it!
How many times has rublutoo announced that he is leaving this topic for good only to reappear.
I don't mind people trying to bash the Tundra, I just care much for LIARS!
That's "I just don't care much for LIARS!"
BTW whats this about all the lemon law claims on the 99 and 2000 Sliveroddo's?
#1046 title belmar of reseda boy?
keep this topic to the trucks now. That #1129
is the topic to bash RUBLUETOO, I don't mind a bit now, just leave your sewer mouth at home.
Come on by, looks like them tindras takin more the bash than me anyway, that be topic #1129 now.
Lets keep this topic here to them trucks, cryin
to be done on that #1129 now.
FYI, I have owned and driven many nice, expensive vehicles (trucks included) and my Tundra Limited 4x4 (WITH A HITCH) is by far the best, most satisfying of them all; PERIOD... No matter what kind of garbage rublu2 continually vomits from his orifice!
The truck could possibly pull more, but have the critics forgotten about lawyers. Our society forces manufacturers to become responsible for those who misuse their products. If you might get sued for what an idiot was pulling behind him where would you set the limit?
My Tundra is the best truck I ever owned, and maybe the best built. Despite the high quality of finish I am sure that the truck can take a real beating as could my 1986 Toyota pickup.
but there was no "w" added in that rwellbaum2 ones. The part you add that "w" too was an on going theme in many others that he has put to the screader now! The edmund monitor warned and then deleted some of them gutter posts for this same reason now! Now rwellbaum2, thinkin
he got them all chopped, comes back like an angel, but he forget one of them posts, and his dirt mouth exposed again for all to see now. rwellbaum2 said show him a post, I showed him a post. End of disscusin on this one.
to you?" This is what you need.
ones have that noise? What say on this, eh?
Good luck on these here ones now!
He is over at his topic (RUBLUTOO BASHING) yuking it up with his GM buddies, comparing the Tundra to Ginzu knives. That doesn't bother me, he/they can have their own topic, but what does bother me is that I would like to know what other owners are experiencing without this yahoo putting his unwelcolmed 2 cents worth in here.
Finally!!!!!!!!
PS....Rube, I have kept quiet untill now,
but i just wanna say....Your a real pain
in the @ss.
toyotas now:

Might find the anwser on some of these ones:
Trannies shiftin hard on 1st to second.
Noise and creakin on that cab.
Hard startin and such.
Vibration in the cab and on them seats.
This a good and useful site, check it out now, before gettin twisted, you will see it offers
a great value to many.
The engine then starts immediately when the key is turned to start. In the toyota, the engine has to crank first to create a vacuum in the air intake chamber where a switch then becomes activated to enable the fuel pump. What is the advantage? The engine cranks a little longer initially, but is priming the engine with oil before it fires.
gaskets was a superior design by toyota too? What
was the design advantage on them ones there? Got a bridge for sale if you be interested....
Them rattle-trap and vibrating cabs are designed that way for safety purposes to keep them folks
from fallin a sleep behind that wheel! Hard shiftin trannies that way to make that trannie last longer! Them limited ones not have the factory hitch, as to not break on the haul. Now them lexzy engines have a hidden switch, as to prime em up first! Boy them ones who design and build them tindras sure are smart now! Thanks for settin me straight on that toyota quality,
I thought these here were problems at first not
features! Good luck on these ones here now!
Then I bought a '95 T100 4x4 extracab w/ the 3.4L DOHC V6. Put about 60,000 miles on it; NEVER a problem. NO blown head gasket! Great truck.
Someone tell me, was this head gasket thing with the 3.4L due to a defect in the actual head gasket or was it related to a defect in the engine itself. If it was just the head gasket itself, these are supplied to Toyota by some outside manufacturer, just as everybody else's are. To me, this would be no different than getting a Tundra with a set of Dunlops that have a balancing problem. Can't actually blame Toyota for poor suppliers. Only that they should be more demanding in their suppliers.
I will if you will!
Maybe he will get bored and leave if we pay him NO ATTENTION!
I WOULD NEVER, EVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT AGAIN. Pure, simple junk. Good luck with them bad ABS brakes and exploding gas tanks now Rubie.
MR. KNOW IT ALL fires back, that he look at schematics and manuals on how the system actually works. It is public knowledge, afterall. ROO, is your degree a B.S.(BULL****), OR A PHD(PILED HIGHER AND DEEPER)?
Otherwise, this is the best off-road vehicle I have ever mudded up. I don’t haul, where a camper or pull anything, just go from A to B with gear and not always on a discernable road so I can’t attest to the Tundra’s ability to appease would-be ruby baby’s but I can tell you that this vehicle will eat any road or non road without ever disrupting the CD-player. Doing 45 MPH on ditched out wash board dirt roads just hasn’t been possible for me in the past, now with the Tundra it’s a piece of cake.
There was a very informed report on the V6 head gasket problem on this forum awhile back. In short they were defective due to material used when owners replaced factory ani-freeze due to a reaction with certain additives.
A few failed, most did not. Toyota recognized this as a real problem because they count on their reliabilty and quality to sell trucks.
I have a '94 Toyota V6 P/U. I'm the second owner. I received a recall notice 18 months ago on this vehicle. It already had 60,000 miles. No problems. I waited until 2 months ago to deal with it. I took it to a Toyota dealer, different from the one I bought from. By that time I was nearing 70,000 miles and long past warranty. They replaced the head gasket, antifreeze, oil/filter and washed my truck and apologized to me for the hassle.
This job took a day and a half. They also provided a free rental car (I paid for gas). A royal hassle yes, excellent response by Toyota and dealer (John Elway Toyota - Denver, CO area). The dealer said this was a major investement in Customer relations. We all pay for it in the cost of a Tundra but I prefer the value of that money.
Hope this helps answer any concerns.

Q: Hi, my brother has purchased an auto repair facility which is franchised. He was told that it is company policy in Japan to replace engines at 30,000 miles. These engines reportedly are then sent to the U.S.A. for resale. I can't believe this. Have you ever heard of this.
Thanks for your reply. We have spent one hour on this issue!
Yours truly, E K.
A: I spoke with someone who imports Japanese auto engines. He says that it is in fact true. What happens is that the cars
do not hold up well in Japan due to tough weather conditions and the fact that
they do not put a lot of mile on the car(too congested). At 30,000 miles, they
have driven the cars between 5-10 years, not the two-three like in California.
The requirements for passing smog and other test to keep using the cars are
far more rigid than the U.S. and the fines for polluters(ie small oil leaks)
makes it cheaper to just dump the cars and buy a new one! The engnines are
still good so they are stripped of the attachments and sent here for resale.
Interesting! Ernie
Guess maybe them engines are built at that island
after all!
Got that tell here:
http://www.toyotarepair.com/Engine.html#Head gasket
Good luck on them new engines now!
lvstang, that watanabees is true enough, but you never can tell with them tindras exactly what you got there now. Remember, these the same folks who tell that them tindras are full size and we all know that not the truth! If they can try to pull the wool on that size, why not them engines now? Caveat empter eh? For that
sandman6 this means buyer beware.
Good luck on this one now!
have the same philosophy:
"The GM is bigger than the Tundra and has bigger
AVAILABLE engines."
True
Ok, but what about Dodge. The Dodge RAM is bigger
than the GM and has a bigger standard engine and an
optional engine that can out haul anything (the
Cummins).
Why aren't you all driving Dodges? I'll tell you
why... You don't trust the transmissions and the
overall reliability, right? You're willing to give
up a bit of size for a truck you trust more and
like better. Well us Tundra owners aren't driving
the GM for the VERY SAME REASON!
