Hell's Angels, who cares. instead of harassing
you
toyota guys, i would honestly like to know more
about the ABS system that toyota incorporates on
the Tundra. does it do the same thing when going
over sharp bumps as my chevy does? by that i mean
does it give a chatter like feeling in the brake
pedal? really would like to know more about this
system if you guys can grow up for a minute or
two and give a guy an honest answer.
like i said, i'm not in here to instigate, i in
here cause i'm really interested.

wonder if i'd ever get an answer. BTW i even
learned a thing or two. for one thing, i did not
know that DRL's and ABS system were related. also
as much as i like the chevy, it would be nice if
GM would up their warranty package. actually they
did in the form of, "buy it now or you'll be out
of luck later". and that came through the mail 3
months after the purchase. with all the problems
i read about on the '99 models, i almost canceled
the order. so far i've had nothing to speak of in
the way of defects, Knock on wood. LOL
so for now i just wanna say thanx and hope
someone, and i think we know who we're talking
about will get of the tundra bashin' in here.

I think that ABS on a truck could be very important with the bed empty on wet pavement. I do not have it and have the porportioning valve instead. It's a simple and reliable system, but not as accurate as ABS. Also, I perfer non-ABS when driving in mud and gravel.
way. it's great that a chevy salesman did'nt have
the knowledge to explain this to me. the brakes
work great and have'nt put me in a bad situation
as of yet. when i was looking for a bigger truck
with ext. cab and 8 foot bed, i never saw
anything indicating that the tundra had ABS
systems. that's why this topic caught my
curiosity. looks like numnuts has stopped his
stupid posts too.

Will you please further describe the situation you have with your ABS brakes when going over bumps. From your message in Post #326, it sounds a lot like a situation I have with my Tundra. Sometimes when I brake while going over rough pavement I get a very hard mechanical-type feedback through the brake pedal (the times I've noticed it, I've also being making a turn as well; could just be coincidence).
Are there any other Tundra owners that have had the same experience? (Some may have posted their experiences earlier, but if so I missed them because I've been quickly scanning over the prior messages due to all the crap that others have posted).
Question about anti-lock brakes..
When one front wheel starts to skid do both front wheels go into anti lock mode or only the one that is skidding? Are the front and rear brakes tied together or are the independent?
cause the abs to engage. nothing scary though,
especially after one realizes what's happening.
brake pedal will clickety-click, drop down
1/2-3/4" and will still bring truck to a good
controlled stop. since changing to the edelbrock
shocks though, engagement of abs has not happened
on the same bumps as with stock shocks. can't say
enough about the edelbrocks as far as ride and
control go though. where truck use to ride like
stiff pogo stick, new shocks elimanated bounce
completly. sorta figures though, since chevy put
cheap General tires on truck, that shocks were
probably 10.00 dollar items as well. if i had one
gripe about chevy's new trucks, it would be the
chincy items that they know owner has to replace.

chevy built me a special truck OK. to put this to
rest, let me explain it this way. the order
number that went through the line was a
designated code to ensure fit and finish. just
like when they built jay leno's 6.0L ride.
nothing real special except to make sure product
looked as good as it could and all nuts and bolts
when rolling off the line. while i have'nt had a
lick of trouble as of yet, i consider myself
fortunate. other than fit and finish, this truck
is just as prone to failure as anyone else who
goes out and buys a new truck. a lot of the
trucks i see on my ex and new dealers lot do have
fit and finish problems that i would not have
excepted. and if it was a "special" truck, then i
should'nt have had to put different shocks on.
i might catch some criticism for this, but my '99
tacoma right off the lot was as perfect as a
production unit could get. i just outgrew it.

Looking at resale values for the T100 and an identicly equipped F150 of the same year, 1996, the F150 not only has a higher resale value, but better reliability and safety ratings as well, so your higher resale is crap too. Toyota will give you a higher trade in value for their Toyota because they will just make up the difference by breaking it off in your tail end with the price of the new purchase. Optional equipment that is standard on the big3 and costs twice as much to add too.
You can continue to make yourself feel better by thinking your Toyota will hold better resale, but you only fool yourself. Try trading a Toyota in at any big3 dealer and you will get what it is actually worth.....less than a real full size truck.
If Toyota's were so great and have such great resale, they wouldn't be the last in sales by a wide wide wide margin.

now looking up motorcycles with ABS... so far the beemers have them standard... and some of the Honda big bikes...
The vibrating feeling most Tundra owners get is not the ABS kicking in - it is warped brake disks and drums.
You gotta wonder why this loser feels the need to make Edmunds a mirror site for Tundrasolutions. Why is in in Tundrasolutions in the first place? Could it be Tundra Envy?
He doesn't own a Tundra - in fact he owns one of the biggest pieces of junk that Chevy ever issued - the '99 Shakerado. It is already ranked by Consumer Reports as a used vehicle to avoid. Good luck on him getting any money on his junker now that the word is out. Now all he posts is sour grapes.
If you want the real story - go to www.tundrasolutions.com You will get the whole story - not just the negative posts that this Chevy loser is searching for.
