Any help would be greatley appreciated.
DO NOT post it here on th open forum or the spam bots will bite ya !
I have heard grand claims from K&N about their aftermarket intake kit. They say you should achieve a 15hp gain around 5k RPM but no one ever comments on the gas mileage of either the replacement filter or the intake kit.
Thanks!
I bought the keyless entry for my 2002 Toyota Tundra off ebay and I can't get it to work.
I have the programming procedures also. But now get this the truck never had remote locks from the factory so will this work on mine?
Thanks for the responds to my problem.
If anyone wants the procedure just email me.

Your welcome.....
noises when I,m driving. Does anyone know if this is due to the new ball joints? or
could the dealer have screwed something else up. I had to take it back a second
time because they didn't set the toe in right the frist time. I told them about the
popping noise then, but it is still here.
My wife called me today and told me that our 2002 Tundra (77000 miles) wouldn't run. She had started home as normal but stopped at a red light. The truck died. She started it back up and everything seemed OK. When she put it in gear is sputters and dies and the check engine and battery lights come on. Neither light has turned on before.
Any ideas on what this might be? I seems to start fine, I can even rev the engine a little in park. But sure enough after putting it in gear it dies.
Any help is MUCH appreciated!

I will be raising the issues when I take my truck in for the next service and have the ball joints and now the rear shocks repaired!
My next question becomes how is toyota going to warrant the remainder of my vehicle once this repair takes place? I still have 26K mile remaining on my warranty and don't want to get in a situation where if something goes wrong it is blamed on the repair. I'm currently discussing diminished value with the inssurance company but do not want to be hung out to dry once the repair is completed. My true wishes woulb be for the vehicle to be totaled.
Any suggestions?
I know what you mean, though funny things happen. Back in 1999, I got a new B3000 4x4 - which, after years of driving a beat up old Citation with no working AC in the south was wonderful. A month after I got it, my wife was coming home from the store when a dude ran a red light, and plowed into her. She was turning left, and he hit her pretty square on the front axle. Knocked the heck out of it. When I got to the scene, I was sure it was totaled.
Naturally the 30 year old "kid" who hit her had no insurance, worked at a car wash, lived with mama....ahhh, the wonders of living in a state that, at the time, did not require insurance.
Anyway, after nearly $10,000 worth of repairs on a $17,000 truck, I got it back. You can look at it and see ifs not quite straight, it has a little "lean" to it. Not horrendus, but noticable if you looked at it from behind. Yes, the put the frame on a straightener.
Now, I mostly did not care about the lean. The fact is that that truck has been the most relaible vehicle I ever had. It now has 117,000 miles on it. Never burned oil, still runs like a champ. I would keep it, even after I got my new Tacoma, but my wife is pushing/forcing me to sell it. I am selling it to a secretary at work for a car for her son.

Thanks,
Any one else have this problem or know of a fix?
thanks
Thanks,
When I first bought the truck the noise was noticeable but has started to become a bit louder and is wearing on me. I bought the Tundra because of a great experience with aTacoma I had for a few years just prior and reputation of Toyota. Now at 35,000 miles I have my doubts about a never ending stream of brake replacements and what could be a serious and costly power train issue, although in most other respects the truck is great. (The brakes were replaced by the dealer at 32,000 miles - seems to be a trend on this board - and I'm not keen on how easily the paint chips and scratches.)
I have an appointment with the dealer tomorrow and will run the 4 wheel drive issue by them. The noise is clearly a harmonic vibration that I bet many folks would miss if their radio is on loud or they regulary drive rough roads.
Anybody else have this problem?
There is very little information on Toyota Tundra Regular Cabs with V-6s on this site.
Im running MOBIL 1 5W30 oil and MOBIL 1 ATF in the tranny. Im planning on a heavier oil next change. would that make any sense?
