Tundra 4X4
Would like to solicit some comparison from other
Tundra 4x4 owners.
During a turn, in 4HI, my Tundra has what I
consider severe drag or resistance. Once the
wheels are staightened out, the vehicle seems to
"coast" as expected for the given throttle setting.
I'm aware of the 4 wheel drive mechanics in a
turn, but this is much more pronounced than
previous 4x4s I've owned.
Personal feedback/experience with your Tundra in
this situation would be appreciated. Thanks in
advance.

With the part-time 4x4 system there is no center differential or viscous coupling and one front wheel must turn the same RPM as one of the rear wheels when in 4wd. When you make a turn this is not the case and you will end up with binding in the driveline and eventually wheel slippage or worst case break something.
Barlitz, what relevance did your comment have to bob265's question? That Ford that you have has the same type of 4x4 system.
Barlitz and rubluetoo, where did you get your info on the Tundra using Tacoma parts? Is it that same 4-wheeler magazine article with all of the incorrect statements about the Tundra like the Tundra requiring premium fuel? Let's here something factual on this for a change.
It's called cost effectiveness.
I have e-mailed your chip guys for info on possible Tundra applications. No response as yet. The JET chip from Performance Products requires the control unit being removed from the Tundra and shipped to Jet. They then do the install and send the unit back. Turnaround time is 4 days. I don't think I like that idea too much.
I would like to hear about your Gibson system. How loud is the sound inside your truck?
Has anyone installed one of the aftermarket locking differentials in the Tundra? I'd really like to hear about your experience, good or bad.
it is unwieldy to manage, and difficult to use for "newbies." There is entirely TOO much topic duplication, so I will be doing some SERIOUS topic consolidation in the next few weeks, getting us down to not more than 2-3 topics per vehicle type, and ultimately down to 200 topics or less.
THIS weeks consolidation candidates are: Tundra's, Tacoma's and Rangers.
In that vein,please consolidate this Tundra topic to Welcome Toyota Tundra - V and continue these discussions there.
Thanks!
