How might this affect the truck while running or cause a missing / slipping sensation at higher speeds?

Had the same lights come on my truck. Took the gas cap off put it back on tight (because of reading this thread) and lights gone! Thank You!

Is there anything else, something electrical possibly that could be causing this… Diving along just fine and then all the sudden starts loosing acceleration… almost like it’s not getting gas or missing… no noise associated with it or clunking or anything… but will draw down the power /...

Welp… I had the transmission rebuilt and the issue is still there. Truck keeps missing / hesitating / jerking after it’s been on the road for a while over 60mph…. I replaced the crank shaft sensor as well and it’s still doing it…. I’m about to put the old Se Vende sign in the window

😀. Yeah except this will be a ~$6000 beating once it’s all said and done 😣

Well apparently I am the first person in human kind to purchase (2) 200 series with failing transmissions at or under 100k…. Everything else I’ve bought or owned in Puerto Rico is falling apart too… guess it’s the price you pay to live on the beach… FML….

Hello all, news on the 2010. The transmission guy says a shifting drum got stuck with oil sludge and burnt the thing up. Says he will have to rebuild it…. So is this an affect of poor maintenance, wrong ATF, or what?

Took them to a auto paint place and had the Dobinsons springs I put on color matched and then they hand painted them.

Yeah, no issues after the tranny was replaced on the ‘08…. Thank you for this. After some work I found the Toyota ATF WS at a Toyota parts store, and will share everything here with the transmission guy and do a flush and replace the fluid. Hopefully it works. I’ll let you know.

I live in Puerto Rico… we don’t have many options here outside of rando garages

Not using them in any way out of the ordinary. Both are daily drivers that get used as camp / surf vehicles on weekends with light off roading. I bought them both used and no clue on prior service history. The 2008 had 115,000 on it when I bought and has been serviced at Pepboys and the...

Not by me. Bought them both used. Not sure maintenance history previously.

My Wife’s 2008 TRD 18”s with BFG AT’s

Hello, This is my first post and coming out of straight disbelief. I own (2) 200 series. A 2008 (145,000mi) and a 2010 (95,000mi). About a year ago at 135,000mi the 2008 started shuddering/jerking at speed on the highway, it would go away and come back. Finally the check engine light came on...
