What have you done to your 1st gen Tundra today?

~1 hr north of dallas

 

Yep, that was my thinking as well. Also noticed the sequoia grill has a little drop down where the tundra is flat across, it seems their sequoia bumpers are relieved for that.

Thank you, I sent something to their main support email but haven't heard back.

 

I'd love to hve a volume knob. It's my one major gripe about nearly every higher-end head unit. I feel like two absolute basics you must have: Volume knob, and wireless AA/Carplay.

I recently picked up the ilx-W770 and need to install, to finally get wireless carplay. It pisses me off though, Alpine sells a pair-able volume knob for their out-of-dash-screen models, but don't offer such a thing for the ilx-400/500/600/700 series head units.

 

Fancy new aluma 18’ tilt trailer. Off to Texas

 

Best looking Best Gen out there!

 

We don’t talk about the driver door that still hasn’t been fixed

my body guy passed away so finding someone competent I trust has proven difficult

 

Well from this angle it looks good, haha. If I ever paint my truck im probably going with a gray like yours. And getting rid of my door protector strips on the side. I hate them so much, haha

 

Safe travels, my dude!

 

Got to do truck stuff today. My buddy is building a house and cleared his lot. Unfortunately he had to take down a few red oaks, but we are gonna try to mill them into some lumber for furniture and stuff. So the road queen got nice and muddy. Even used the 4LO for the first time to shove the logs around in the mud. I did bust off my trailer plug. Oops.

One thing I noticed when slipping and sliding around in the mud - I guess the traction control kept kicking on? It’s the annoying clicking noise as I was sliding around. Is that traction control? And why the hell does it turn on in 4wd, that seems dumb. Or maybe I’m just dumb.

 

Current status:

 

I thought only a small percentage of these trucks had traction control. And I thought it was only on 05-06 models. Are you sure yours does?

Clicking can be a bad CV axle.

 

As I get into this job and observe things... One standout question is...

Does my crank sensor need to be in the center of the hole? Or is this normal?



Additionally...

The sweat along my upper oil pan... I thought it could be from the crank seal but dang it's looking dry. Thoughts? I'm in the process of pulling the cog... Kinda don't wanna change it if I don't have to... Paging doctor @shifty`

 

Not sure about the leak residue- but I can say that all four of the UZs that I have changed timing belts on, that crank sensor has been not centered in the hole. Normal.

 

As @FiatRunner said, it's normal and doing it's job of seeing the crank position. The bolt definitely is not loose and if you ever had the need to remove the sensor, you'd see it is what it is. While it does have an o-ring, it's not causing the sckew look. The aluminum guardian is doing it's job also.

 

Thanks @BubbaW and @FiatRunner.

As for my crank seal.. bone dry on the back side of the cog. And on the oil pump.

Ugh maybe I'll just replace it anyways.

 

Thanks for that picture. Changed out my oil pressure sensor today with a supposedly better reading sensor for kicks and grins. The red circled plastic clip was dangling but safely away from serpentine belt. I could not see what it might snap into but pic helped.

 

Finally got off my ass and updated from the

$280 ilx-w650 7" double DIN touchscreen digital multimedia receiver with bluetooth, apple carplay and android auto

ilx-w650 to the w770.

I can grab the part number on that if you want it. But you're not gonna like the price tag associated

 

Not a doctor!

I'm confused on that one, b/c I definitely see there's oil above the weep hole, which kinda suggests it's something dumping oil inside the tming covers.

Looks almost like bank 1 cam seal may be leaking into the timing cover, and running down the edge? Follow the edge up, is it oily the whole way?

​

 

I was thinking today about replacing the Kenwood I bought my pops for Xmas with a Pioneer layer this year. I let him pick the Kenwood, but I wish I'd have picked for him. I only use pioneer screens and have had a lot of good luck with them over the years. The Kenwood has no display settings and he can't see the backup camera very well. I don't think it's the camera, because it's the master tailgaters handle combo. I have that brand on my tundra and it's super clean picture

 

Yeah I think I’m gonna duct tape the cap on for now and add it to the I’ll fix that later list. I’ve never towed and rarely expect to, so meh.

Below is the light that is coming on and flashing as the clicking is happening. Looked it up and apparently it is the “slip indicator light” based on my manual. It sounds like an electrical clicking like some sort of switch or relay engaging. I don’t know what a bad cv axle sounds like, but I can’t imagine it sounding like this. To me it sounds like some sort of compensation system engaging, but I have no idea what that would be.

EDIT: maybe it’s just the warning noise? “Hey you’re slipping”. Seems kinda dumb, but I guess that could be it.

 

Take a pic of your dash by the 4x4 button

 

Yeah man, you got that VSC/trac control. Sorry about your luck!!

 

Yep. I bet if you had pushed that button to turn that off, your issue would have stopped. Just a guess though.

 

It reminds me one one of my favorite posts here made by @des2mtn

I wonder if @TXTundraGuy23 has the same freaky master cylinder

 

Exploded here for '04 DC 4WD @ https://toyota-usa.epc-data.com/tundra/uck41/3814/electric/8202/

Verify against your VIN before you order. Price is clearly coming down on that part; wonder if Toyota is about to kill it.

I grabbed a pic of this part when one was on the WWW. Over here: https://www.tundras.com/threads/wha...s-trailer-wiring-harness.121674/#post-3120206

@daveeasa has ordered this part IIRC, and may be able to show you pics to confirm it's right. I may also be able to go look at my truck and grab the part number off the label. It looks like that part was good from 2002-2006 models.

 

I think I saw someone say it's fuckall easier to bleed the brakes on those trucks though. Like, it auto-pumps or something.

 

PS -

I think you said you might want my old W650. I may end up putting it in Mom & Dad's new Jeep towards the end of April. If it doesn't happen, I'll holler.

 

I’m actually hoping to do my 7 pin this weekend. Finally. So I can tow. Won’t that be nice.
