Dont put to many 2 liters of pop or gallons of milk in the back. Might bottom out the first bump you hit.
Ryan
and quad...tundras that knock. how dare you! you can't possibly BELIEVE that's true now, can you?
oh, and the main and rod bearing clearances...here we go with that drivel again. yawn. must be causin' some really major problems. that's why the only people i hear talking about it are king tundrat and his serfs.
oh well, can't complain too much, at least they're starting to talk about trucks again...or at least trying to.

Besides engines, trannies,etc for my neighbors Silverado....there's the Swedish bikini team girls who are always hitting me up for a ride. (no matter how much you hate me, please don't tell my wife, she's...Irish)
I only "single[d] out [you] and BCO as the main pervayers [sic] of flameramas, even though there are plenty more guilty" because your names and posts were then fresh in my mind as good (bad?) examples of the testosterone wars. It certainly has nothing to do with you both being in the military. I wasn't even aware of that shared trait and have more trouble than you in keeping people separated and distinct in my mind.
You know, I guess it's only boredom that makes me participate in here at all. I actually can't remember ever reading any truly useful information posted herein. But there is always some entertainment value to be found here (in basically the same category as Wildest Police Videos, The Jerry Springer Show and Real TV) although the song and dance doesn't change much.
Don't mind me (I'm sure none will). Carry on carrying on.... ;-)
Ryan
NO WAY those cant be fact
great post. one correction:
"Brakes (Rear) Disc Drum"
should read:
Brakes (Rear) Disc Continuously
Warping Drum
LOL!!!

i agree. there's a couple who live near me who've coined a term for it: "irritainment". they watched that show "making the band" one night, and were hooked. to the point where they would tape it if they weren't home to see it. of course...he drives a ford, but that's beside the point...
irritainment...look that one up...you'll see a picture of rwell/bama posing together...
LOL!
bco
Maybe you should look up irritainment. You might see yourself.
serious as to what you haul. You didnt see me
throing hauling tundra parts. I guess then you
haul zilch. Nada nothing truck is a waste should
have bought a car"
Ryan
Geez, lighten up Francis!!!

runs fine doesn't it?
look, i'm sorry the thing people value you most
for is your mixed drink making tundra...but
hey...maybe next time you'll be smart enough to get a real truck. until then..."bartender (that's
YOU) i'll have a martini...vibrated, not stirred"
LOL!!!
bco
"What are TSBs?"
Care to share that one with us?
LOL!
Comparing that to tims that was overboard
Ryan
Ryan
Dean youve been on tims site i have seen nothing that bad there
If so, refer your question to Rube/justletone. He is the self-appointed expert-non-grata about all things "haul".
I simply asked what have you guys hauled??? All i got was a smart remark from you. Guess tundras arent used for real work eh???
Ryan
I hope we get the same winter we had last year. Lots of snow.
#0 of 16: What is known about it? Tue 10 Oct '00 (03:54 PM)
I have a 2000 2WD Silverado with the 5.3 liter. I have been noticing that the engine is knocking/rapping on the the first start of the day. This knock sounds like there is no oil in the engine. A lot of engines do this for a few seconds until the pump gets the oil back to the top; however, my truck (I'm hearing a lot of others) is knocking for up to 2 minutes! I use Mobile 1 Syn. 10W30 and good filters, I have good and steady oil pressure from the turn of the key. It seems to be temperature dependent in that it goes away when the engine approaches 180ish degrees. I have also heard Chevy knows about this and has changed engine tolerances for the 2002 engines. Any info on this would be appreciated. Thanks

#1 of 16: You are correct. I believe it was the bearing tolerances. Can't do much about it now other that trade for a '01 and that ain't much of an option.
A GM Press release referring to 4.8 and 5.3 liter V8s states:
"For 2001, the main bearing tolerances of these engines have been tightened for quieter, cold-engine startup. "
WHOA!!! That means for the '99 and '00 engines - it was a crap shoot whether your engine had loose bearings causing cold start knock. And Oby says the only cure is to trade it in!
One million trucks! Wow!

As usual - I will try to avoid clogging up the bandwidth by posting links. I know the Chevy pack won't be quite as polite
- Tim
packers to face the hard facts: Chevy = Expensive
Junk.
I'm sorry that J.D. Powers and Consumer Reports
beats up on little ol' GM all of the time. It's
not fair! It must be all of the advertising that
Toyota does with them. LOL These reports contain
something that the Chevy pack abhors: Facts.
Chevy - -90% predicted reliability. (Consumer
Reports)
Chevy - ranked 26th in quality (J.D. Powers)
'99 Silverado - Used Vehicle to avoid - already!
(Consumer Reports)
These were the result of surveys filled out by
Shakerado owners. It seems that Chevy owners in
general are not very happy with their trucks.
(That just isn't fair!)
Tundra: Winner of the 2000 J.D.Powers quality
award for full-size pickups.
Tundra: Best predicted reliability for 2000 full
size pickups. This is based on Consumer Reports
surveys filled out by Tundra owners in '99. I
wonder where all the dissatisfied Tundra owners
went?
Check out Toyota Tundra - Recent Buyers -
Vibration Pbm? (Topic #2038) as Timothy Davis
suggested. Virtually all of the posts to that
topic are by Chevy owners! In four months, there
has been only one poster who owns a Tundra with a
vibration problem. Where are the hordes of Tundra
owners having vibraton problems?
Now look at the Chevy vibration topics at Edmund's
- over 2600 posts so far this year. Not one by a
Tundra owner! It seems that Chevy has a far more
severe problem. I could spend the next few months
copying and pasting negative Chevy posts like BCO
and Quad are fond of doing, but - as I have said
before - what is the point?
GO to http://agmlemon.freeservers.com/ - check it
out for yourselves. I don't feel a need to copy
and paste all of the posts here. I am willing to
bet that most people will be able to follow links
and find the articles for themselves. Why clog up
the bandwidth of this site?
Although there are certainly vibrating Tundras out
there, they are relatively few. They are so few
that the Chevy pack has to go to other sites to
find negative posts. Hmmm - I don't have to go to
other sites to find negative Chevy posts. What is
the deal?
Could it be that the Chevy packers are taking a
small Tundra vibration problem and trying to make
it look big?
This is a concept that is beyond the understanding
of the Chevy pack - that if you want to maximize
your chance of having an unreliable, low quality
heap - you need go no further than your local Chevy
dealer.
Chev pack - try as you will - you will never be
able to make the Chevy into a Toyota. You can't
make a silk purse out of a sows ear.
I bet his next post will include JD POWERS and motor trend and his fav buddy consumer reports. Those magazines have nothing to with with reality in how a truck is used. Im curious tundra owners whatcha guys hauling with your tundra (rwell be serious)
Ryan
Hit the nail on the head
Trust me i never said a tundra cant haul but im curious as to what they haul.
Ryan
particular truck having problems. Why would you
feel the burning need to inform us all, that
everything is just peachy with your Silverado?"
well, yeah, when you said that bco stood for broken chevy owner, i'd have to say that pretty much implies you WERE talking about MY particular truck. i feel the need to inform you that everything is great with my truck because that way, even if it's vicariously, you'll have the opportunity to know what it feels like to own a damn good truck.
and as for the 45 degree slope...i thought before it was 28... hmm...tale keeps gettin' taller. maybe next iteration will have you towing that ford up that 45 degree slope? LOL. come back to the real world bud...
bama...still cuttin' and pastin'. thought you gave up on wasting bandwidth? so much for that theory, eh...
