Exhaust Manifold Leaks

Owners of 2000-2006 Toyota Tundra models often encounter bothersome exhaust manifold leaks. This issue manifests as an irritating ticking noise emanating from the engine when cold or idling. The underlying cause is typically a faulty seal during initial manufacture or leaks from the camshaft tower seal dripping onto the exhaust components. Replacing the entire exhaust manifold is the most reliable fix. This critical repair also curtails further damage, restores lost fuel efficiency, and provides peace of mind.

Slipping Transmission

The ominous “strawberry milkshake” refers to a well-known Toyota Tundra problem involving the transmission – a ruptured transmission cooler inside the radiator. This failure allows the vital transmission fluid to mix with engine coolant, resulting in fluid contamination, overheating issues, and eventual mechanical breakdown. Replacing the defective radiator and thoroughly flushing the transmission and coolant systems is essential to avoid catastrophic repairs down the road. Proper regular maintenance can help prolong the transmission’s life expectancy.

Brake Rotors Prone to Warping

While brake components rank among the normal wear-related parts on any vehicle, Toyota Tundra brake rotors specifically have a widespread tendency to warp prematurely. This phenomenon makes itself evident to drivers through a shaky vibration sensation pulsing through the brake pedal and steering wheel when applying the brakes. The most effective solution we regularly perform involves replacing both front brake rotors and servicing the brake pads and accompanying hardware. This quickly eliminates the problem for good.

Faulty Air Injection Pump

The air injection system fulfills the vital emissions-control task of ensuring complete fuel combustion, yet fails all too often in some Toyota Tundra model years. When the air injection pump stops functioning altogether, symptoms arise like poor engine performance, stalling events, and ominous Check Engine warning lights illuminating on the dashboard. Repairing the entire air injection and emissions control system can be quite pricey, but remains necessary for restore proper engine operation while meeting emissions regulations.

Front Suspension Wear

We have seen an abundance of Toyota Tundras coming into our Fremont shop with excessive wear of the front suspension’s lower ball joints – an issue plaguing certain model years. The root cause stems from improper manufacturing techniques, resulting in insufficient durability of these crucial suspension components. Premature ball joint wear thereafter enables impairment of steering control and front wheel alignment. Toyota rightfully issued safety recalls concerning this defect. Our replacement solution helps resolve the problem reliably.

Frame Corrosion Issues

Inadequate anti-corrosion measures from the Tundra factory leaves certain model years vulnerable to frame corrosion issues over time. Some owners first notice a ride vibration traced back to evolving frame corrosion, which then compromises the integrity and safety of the vehicle frame itself. This difficult issue proves extremely hard to prevent altogether without comprehensive anti-rustproofing measures applied regularly. We offer professional anti-corrosion treatments to help prolong frame life.

Transmission Problems in 2017 Models

The latest 2017 Toyota Tundra generation unfortunately gained notoriety for multiple reports of faulty transmissions emerging. Affected owners describe symptoms ranging from harsh and erratic shifting behaviors to complete transmission failure. These problems likely stem from manufacturing deficiencies and internal component flaws as Toyota made efforts to cut costs. Proper transmission inspection and rebuilds or replacements represents the only fix for restoring function.
