I usually put the Mazda in four wheel drive in September and don't take out until February or May. I notice that the reviews all say not to run in 4 Wheel drive on dry pavement. With our long winters it's impossible not to drive on pavement that is intermittently dry and ice/snow covered every few miles & minutes.
I'm concerned that regular or continuous use of the 4 wheel drive may cause the truck problems. Can you provide any input on this issue? Thanks from the far North
Good luck.
Thanks for any suggestions.
If you contact a major auto dismantler they can do a search for you, it will be half the price of the dealer & they are sometimes negotiable on the price.
Hope this helps.
Waiting to hear from you.

I even replaced the air intake system with the entire KN system and still didn't really help the mileage.
i don't understand why they don't get better mileage since the truck alls are paper thin.
I thought it was supposed to help. I drove like an idiot the first tank of fuel because of the fake supercharger sound it make under the hood but the second tank I did alot of highway and was still at best getting 14mpg.... I really am passionate about my tundra and would love to think Ill buy a new one some day but you guys are all having alot of problems?????? ( Other than my manifolds I have been in good shape although Im the second owner at 65k miles so who knows what happened before me maybe thats why it got traded in for a Jeep Grand cherokee now theres a piece of crap!!!!!!!!!!
When it was finally diagnosed as having a piston slap problem, the manager of the service dept at a toyota dealer refuses to place an order on my car, although it is under warranty b/c he defines it as normal. However, piston slap is NOT normal. I have done some research online and no one says it is normal, rather it is the beginning of an engine problem. Of course, the manager that refuses the order sees it that way, he says it will never affect the durability of my car.
So now, I starting my own list of toyota owners with the same piston problems b/c I want to prove that I am not the only toyota owner with the piston slap problem and that I am not paranoid about the sound. Ford and Chrysler have replaced thousands of engines for their customers b/c they recognize it as a big problem, GM has not. I don't know what Toyota will say, but I am hoping to get enough names and records to prove that Toyota should do something to compensate.

unfortunately 14 is what I get in the city with the entire air performance system (k&n). eventually you can't tinker anymore and we have to live with what the engine was designed to actually somewhat do. Also I UNDERSTAND EVERYONE has issue with the toyota product, but i have a ton of friends with gm and ford and they are constant recall mode throughout their trucks entire life. If an american prduct gets 125k miles on it it's considered a miracle. witha toyota it's not even mid life.
justa thought.
It was in the last quarter of AAA magazine if you can get your hands on it. But don't worry I'm sure opec will ower the cost of oil soon.
Looks at the reality of the matter. You bought a full size truck with a V8 engine. The standard for a Tundra is 14mpg in town and 18mpg on the highway.
Big truck, Big Engine = Low MPG
Little truck, Little Engine = High MPG
So quit Crying and face the facts-
2k5 Tundra DC Limited
What's up with this?
Since doing so I've had to replace the CV boots twice, they keep busting, which shouldn't happen. The diff. cannot be lowered anymore because it is resting close to the A frame.
How do I save my boots? Has anyone lifted beyond a couple of inches, if so, how do you prevent this problem?

How are the 2006 Tundra's holding up so far? Are the 04' and 05' models holding up. Any and all input would be greatly appreciated. :confuse:
