$150 and an hour of labor for almost a decade of usage is a win in my book.

The Car Care Nut just did a video on this, it was a nightmare repair. Whole dash gotta come out, search on youtube and watch that video

Carmax offered $42,000 for my 2020 TRD pro Tundra, the same exact year/mileage on their website is $55,995. They're making a killing off us

Forgot about that, my apologies.

Ah man, could've helped out someone on the forum, get a trade in offer then offer it for sale for $2000 more or so, you win and one of us win. Dealers don't need to get richer.

I've had many 100 series, and now a 200. I can honestly say the 100 series is the best SUV hands down if you don't mind the gas mileage. However they are just too expensive for a good one so a 200 is a better bang for the buck, LX mainly. 100 is strikingly handsome, smooth drivetrain, perfect...

No sir they were great, i put those on my 2016 Tundra then sold it to a friend. I now have a real TRD pro with real TRD wheels :)

Many thanks brother, your diagnosis was correct. I couldn't really see the tensioner with all the covers on this truck, took everything out and looked at it from underneath and saw the tensioner clicking every belt rotation. Replaced it with a new OEM unit and all is well, she purrs like new and...

Oh man, that's exactly what mine is doing. Thanks for that! I'm off tomorrow i'll be able to tackle this, visual inspection of the tensioner didn't reveal anything, but i'll remove the belt tomorrow and start the truck and see if the noise goes away then it's the issue.

It sounds like it’s coming from the vvti solenoids, I’ll swap them with my tundra on my next day off and see. I dont think a serpentine belt or tensioner would make such a loud metallic tapping noise.

2015 LX570, 213K miles Just heard it this morning, i just recently drove the truck 3000 miles on a road trip, everything was normal but this morning i woke up and engine sounded like this. Oil level is full, 5w30 has always been used, oil pressure is good. This noise is slow and does get...

Wife and I took a 3,000 miles road trip to Florida recently, crap MPG but ride was so smooth and the radar cruise control was a god send.

Me and the guy she told me not to worry about, this Tundra is massive. Imagine if you were drunk, getting out of that and falling to your death.

Undercarriage pics and put the stock wheels back on will get you much more

2015 LX570 211,000 miles zero leak of any fluid, not even a seepage or dampness. Carfax lists rear main seal done at 178K miles, doesn't list any cam tower repair or valve cover gasket but they are bone dry.
