1. Have the Valor exhaust tip. I noticed the mufflers has a lot a black residue where the tip is connected. Is this normal?
2. The batter gauge and oil pressure gauges both run much higher than normal, more like 75% of the range. Anyone else experience this and again, is this normal?
Thanks in advance

I am not sure about the soot you're talking about, but a little bit of it is not abnormal.
3rd issue?????????????
My research also indicated that the thump should go away if I lubricate the slip yokes on the drive shaft. The dealer says there are no grease points for these models. However, an independent mechanic told me to lubricate the slip yokes, the drive shaft would have to be dropped - which is not really a big deal and would cost about $100.
In any case, the thumping is a major annoyance.
There are three kinds of people: those who can count and those who can't! ;-)

Could someone please explain what/where "Running Boards" are (the lowermost painted panel?)?
Are "Running Boards" different from the "Step Boards" listed in the Accessory section of the Sequoia's brochure?
Thanks,

I love my ruck, only problem, a squeaking sunroof. Bringing it to the dealer this week to see what they can do.
any way to stop the squeak.
I actually did pull the carpet / insulation up. I could not locate the leak. It seems to be coming from the bottom - up and right under the side interior. I did not know about the 1 inch round holes at the rear of the cargo area. I'll take a look at that tonight and I will also pull apart the real lamp assembly for evidence of a leak. Thanks for the advice and I'll advise of my findings. nikosgp
The way I found out about this is I spent quite a bit of time looking for a quality way to run wiring into the rear area. I ended up poking a small hole in the rubber plug for each wire and running the wire through those holes as it made a nice seal around the wire. I've always loved how easy it is to install electronic components in Toyotas. The camry I had before the sequoia is the best I've ever seen, not only did it have rubber grommets in the firewall I could run wiring through, they put plastic channels under the trim running along the floor. The plastic channels had the side split open making it real easy to add wires to.
My main question is, how hard is it to find a 2wd SR5 with just the "A" or "B" option package? I priced one out on Toyota's site that just had the "B" package, and the sticker was just around $35k. The site said inventory for 2wd SR5's was "Excellent" in the Northeast region--I'm in Delaware. Anyone else have a 2wd SR5 or know how hard they are to get? How much has anyone gotten knocked off of sticker lately?
BTW, anyone know if increase in stopping distance is a sign that the pads are fading ? Just wondering.... Recently found out that I need a long braking distance and to hold the brakes down real hard to get the truck to stop. Could it be lack of familiarity with the truck since we hardly drive it, or could it be sign of potential brake problem. Anyone have a guess which is it ?
As for bug shields, forget it. Dig deep and do the front of the truck with 3M clear bra. My last three vehicles have had it and it works, nuff said.
All new BIGGER Tundra with crew cabs, diesel engines, and rear duel trans axles etc..
A all new Sequoia will be out in 2006 as a 2007 model. Look for a Hybrid V6 and V8 the following year.
Tacoma gets more as well.
Keep you posted.
That is hard to understand - Toyota is one of the most valuable brand names in the automotive business. I can't see any benefit to doing this.
I assume they will still be sold at Toyota dealerships so what is the point? Unless they plan on allowing Lexus to sell the new brand also.
For example "IFORCE" maybe the the call sign??. I'm not clear on how they plan on separating the trucks from the cars but knowing Toyota they'll pull it off. You will still see the Toyota name on the trucks and visit your Toyota dealer in the ads.
As for the Land Cruiser it's up in the air he did not know.
