I called Toyota North America and was told that there is an "Enhanced Warranty" on the O2 sensors, good for 7 years or 90,000 miles. I brought this to the dealers attention ("gee, we didn't know about it"), and they are now ordering the parts.
So be aware of this and if you have paid for oxygen sensors, go back and demand a refund.
Is this the noise you are referring to?
I'm due for spark plugs too, and want to know why non-platinums were used, and if there's any problem with installing platinum plugs.

I have just under 40,000 miles on it. I think it has something to do with the transmission electronics, specifcally the overdrive. I can make it happen any time i want by turning off the overdrive, then switching it back on. The next time I stop the endine dies as if the torque convertor is locked and doesn't disengage.
They said that they don't work on components like that, they would just replace the whole transmission.
I said, how much is that gonna cost? they said it was covered under the warranty (that is already expired), maybe they know something i don't.
Sounds like an unofficial recall.
I don't care, I'm getting a brand new transmission out of it.
Beware, that alternator is mounted down low, protected by the skid plate, but not from any mud that may get splashed up there and right into the brushes... note to self, mud makes a better insulator than conductor!
It started after it had over 10K miles on it. I took it to my local dealer and they said it was normal, and would not hurt longevity. Time will tell.
It is not a smooth ride on a smooth street, and heaven help if it is a rough one!
thanks for any help/suggestions!
I have been an exclusive Toyota Driver for the last 25 Years. have had nothing but exceptional service from them. I have owned 77 Celicas and 81-83 long bed 4x4's and the first 4runners and I currently run a 90 4runner with 270,000 miles on it. Clutch gave out at 226,000 Ac went at 166,000 but I suspect the dealer screwed it up whilst relacing head gaskets that were prone to failing mine never did. I have been looking at the f-150 but the forum has scared me off I am afraid. I have been looking long and hard at the Sequoia as well. I, like you, am chasing the used ones. My suggestion is go for the Toyota's .My son and I travel and shoot compititions. Seems they (Sequoia) have some piddly issues when you chase the forum down.
I will drive the Chevy's as well but I bet it'll be Toyota again.
