You're lucky. I got an 05 V8 SR5. One damn problem after another. Had to replace the rack and pinion within 5 years. A couple of years ago I had to replace the starter, driveshaft, and U-joints all at the same time. Now there is a leak somewhere in the radiator because my coolant is going... somewhere. The secondary air pump also needs to be replaced. That, and I haven't driven it in a couple of years because of all of the issues, so the tires I'm sure need to all be replaced and have the oil system cleaned out, brakes/calipers, AND a full tune-up. Ugh, I hate being an adult.

@@TheJokesterSCR Oh wow! I have an 05 V8 SR5 Double Cab and the only issues I've had with mine was needing the U-joints changed (not by Toyota who claims you must replace the entire driveshaft) and batteries, and now my back window doesn't roll down (ran across this while just watching all sorts of videos on the 1st gen Tundras while looking for videos on that rear window). I've got 155k miles on it. Thank goodness mine has been awesome to me. I feel bad for you having so many issues with yours though.

I had a 2000 and a 2006 Tundra. The 5 biggest problems in the northeast is 1, rust. 2, rust. 3, rust. 4, rust. 5, rust. Pretty much all issues resulted from that despite all frame recalls, scaling undercoating etc.....including the exhaust manifold in the 2000, and I went though two power steering racks in the ‘06. Also the usual sensors, ball joints, broken leaf springs, rusted gas tank straps, and so on and so forth. Even with that said, the 2006...or last year for first generation Tundra with 4 doors, 4WD, V-8 TRD package was the best truck ever created for the average Joe or Jane. Mine went 214k and I sold it to my mechanic who had the wherewithal to keep it on the road as his daily driver.

Thanks for your video. I would like to add number 6: Front brakes were engineered too small. Toyota put out a service letter about it and was upgrading the calipers and pads for free during the original warranty period. You may not have noticed this if you never towed or never drove in the mountains. But if you towed in the mountains, you would definitely know it. Down right dangerous! I upgraded mine at NAPA for around $200 with core returns. Much better!

Ah yeah, 218k on my 02 4.7 rwd and runs great! Front rotors and upgraded calipers / front stabilizer link / radiator/ exhaust manifold... rearend rusted out and finally ruined the diff, but had been backed into salt water a bunch with first owner. I got a used one with 450k and it is perfect. Love it so much i'm getting it painted!

Had the Strawberry Milkshake...Caught it early. Most important advice I got from an old mechanic. Flush it and over flush it with this cheap fluid and then replace with factory fluid. Flushed it with 60 gallons of cheap. After that drop the pan new seal. Add a separate cooler to avoid the mess later. This job was a mess and I cried in my garage once. You want the pump to pull the fluid thru to flush it. Years later and all is good. When I put it in gear I get the satisfaction of being lucky.

Now that’s a good KZread video ! Thank you I’ve got a 2001 tundra 3400 v6 and all your tundra videos are very helpful.

Thanks for the video and the heads up. So far I've changed the radiator and alternator. Previous owner has really took care of the truck. I've been blessed to have my 2003 Tundra SR5 V6 so far no issue and I'm about to hit 200k.

I bought mine used 5 yrs ago it is 04 and drives great . Had timing belt water pump and serpinteen belt changed . The transmission fluid and filter changed .the engine coolant replaced it's been very reliable drives smoothly . Can't say that for many trucks 17 yrs old .

Brilliant work there, thank you for getting all those possible problems listed in such a short time. One serious problem I had was the mice or baby rats got up under the top cover and chewed up my smog sensor wiring, and that is a big problem to fix as one has to take the whole top off to be able to get to the problem. They actually chewed the sensor wires off to make a nest under my hood. Very common problem it appears. That was on my 2006 Toyota Tundra 427 standard cab truck. Thank you again, guy, well done.

I’ve never had one problem with my first gen tundra to this day. Things are bullet proof

6. Thin vertical windshield is a stone magnet. 7. Steering column rust. 8. Drivers door handle mount 9. Rear leaf springs. 10. Frame rust recall. 11. Hood latch. 12. ABS speed sensor. 13. Door lock actuators. Many of these are just maintenance, but being an original 06 Tundra owner, 178k in town work miles, rust belt state, have fixed all the above issues. Still the best truck on the road. Just keep an eye out for these things as well. Budget for tires and gas, especially on the crew cab.

These videos are super helpful! Keep them up!

270K on my 2000 Tundra 4WD. So far I've had to replace the radiator, ball joints, shift column box, tie rods, struts, rack bushings, rear glass, radio, front grill. I Love this work truck.

Nice. Great video. Very detailed. Love this guys content. Keep makin videos on 1st gen tundras. Thats what i own.

Great video, I have a 2005 Toyota Tundra with 132K miles and will have to watch out for these issues. So far my only real problem with this truck has been rust. Specifically some frame rust in the front passenger side frame and also the rear driver side frame above the spring mount. Its really odd because the rest of the frame is solid with very little rust except these 2 spots.

The noises are great haha. Honestly helpful, thanks

Head over heels for my 2003 Sequoia!! Best rig I've ever had, by far!! Just rolled 234,567 last Sunday. It was a memorable moment, lol. Timing Belt went out, but PTL it didn't lock up my engine, so replaced last year. O2 sensors next, but other than that, it's been a dream!!! Can't imagine driving anything else, EVER!!!

I am an original owner of a 2002 tundra. I really love this truck and I've had virtually no problems with it at all. Just rolled 200,000 and the only things I have had to do is replace the O2 sensor. One other thing I have found this from what I understand is common to these vehicles has all the bolts on top of the intake manifold tend to loosen up overtime and you develop an oil leak. A little snug in once every six months or so will help eliminate that. I am really thankful for this video is during the winter time I get that ticking noise this video talked about.

Thought I had warped front brake disc turned out the ABS sensors were dirty due to leaking axel grease. No problem with the exhaust manifold maybe it's because I have the TRD stainless steel headers installed when they first came out. Informative video,

Just got a 2006 access cab with 90k miles in 2023. I had the steering rack replaced, the brakes, the lifted suspension, the tires, the axles, the timing belt/water pump and the exhaust. Had the bottom undercoated and its in for a paintjob now. Also changed the headlights and added 12 hole injectors. It already had an intake. Hoping to keep it for at least 200k more miles.

This is the best automotive channel ever

Steel stik fixes cracked manifolds. Just make sure to go past the crack about an inch, and use a putty knife or utility razor to pack the crack SLIGHTLY. Steel stik is different from the metal the manifold is made of, therefore it will expand and shrink at different rates and temperatures. Over packing can actually cause your crack to expand dramatically.

GREAT video! Thanks!

#7: Frame Rust - Toyota Recall/Rework Toyota "Inspected" and "Reworked" the Frame on my 2005 Tundra (SR5, 4.7L V-8, 4X4, Double Cab, TRD) to address a Frame Rust issue that can result in Frame Failure. The Dealer we purchased our Tundra from (new) performed the inspection and "Repairs" to address the condition they found. They deemed our Tundra's Frame to be in the condition that only required them to spray the Frame with their approved coating. Within a short period, we had RUST coming out from behind the coating the Toyota Dealer applied to keep the Frame from rusting! We expressed our concern that the "Repair" performed to address a DEFECT in workmanship and/or materials was not working and seemed to make it worse than before! We brought it to the attention of both the Toyota Dealer and Toyota USA on multiple occasions and were told, "your Tundra has been REWORKED and nothing else can be done". Our Tundra has 97,000 actual, one owner miles on it. It's in excellent condition. People who see it, can't believe it's a 2005. Every time we bring it in for service we ask the Toyota Dealer to inspect the Frame to ensure our Frame is not going to fail due to this defect, the invoice does not reflect our request for inspection. When asked about it, we get a verbal "it's OK". We love both of our Toyota's (with this issue being the exception). MANY customers have complained the REWORK did NOT work and get new Frames installed by Toyota. We are going to need a new vehicle soon. It's safe to say, we are looking at all of our options. Hey TOYOTA... make it right, fix your mistake on our Toyota Tundra!!!

Dude, you are awesome. Thanks for the explanations.

Yep on the secondary air pump on my 05 Tundra 4.7. First mechanical issue in 11 years!

Love your videos. I have a burning smell in my new to me tundra 5.7 2007 cab. It’s not oil or radiator fluid or gas or sulfur. It’s smells like a dirty engine. Also it has all season tires and a hum with heavy acceleration and deceleration. The dash bounces at 30 mph and under while braking. Diagnostics say 1 and 2 cylinder problem. They didn’t give me the codes.

Good info

I have an 06 tundra 4.7 with 219k. I love it! Just replaced the alternator yesterday. Having problems with the driver's door panel. (Clips broke) and driver's window. (Bolt came out of track brace inside and now it's slow. Gets stuck completely when it's raining but I pull up on it and it's good once it gets halfway)

Fyi the secondary air pump problem is for 05-06 they didn’t have them before 05. How you didn’t mention frame rot is unbelievable as it’s probably one of the most serious and common issues. You probably should have mentioned timing belt and i only say this as there are a lot of 1st gen tundra owners who dont even realize the 4.7 has one.

Honestly the timing belt is an owner problem. If you don't know if your car has a belt or chain forsure, that's on you lol. Plenty of V8s of all manufacturers had the belt

The "Strawberry Milkshake of Death", or SMOD, is caused by a simple soldered connection not being made quite strong enough, by whatever supplier they used. When this happened to my Ridgeline, the transmission lasted about two years before giving up the ghost. Mind you, it already had 250k miles on it.

I love the 1st gen Tundra!!! My dream Tundra is a 06 with low miles and super clean it has to be bluesteel metallic and a double cab but those are very rare and expensive, also im looking for an 00-06 tundra access cab so that it isnt to expensive anywhere in florida under 4-5k thanks guys!

2000 Tundra with 180k. I do a drain and fill on my transmission fluid every other oil change. Uses no oil. Dealer replaced front rotors because of warping. Second set warped also. I bought a drilled rotor set with no problem since. I plan to upgrade my front brakes and calipers on the next pad change to POWER STOP KC232436 $400 because I tow a travel trailer with mine. Had to change the radiator a few months ago. Window motor on drivers side went out about a year ago. Changed ball joints to prevent known failure. Changed timing belt 2x. Changed serpentine belt 2x with pulley time change to prevent failure. Changed a front O2 sensor about 10 years ago. All this is normal for a 22 year old truck. It's a great truck with no big issues so far. I have foolishly been looking at new trucks. The new Tundra is butt ugly and I have been eyeing a Ford.....but I just can't do it because I know I will regret it. I'll just keep my old tundra until the market comes back down. I'm not even sure the new Tundra will be dependable with the turbo V6.

Wow nice information 😊

when a truck goes 500,000 miles you are going to get rusted bolts. unlike a $100,000 Dodge Ram that the engine locks up after a year.

The O2 sensor after the CAT has a heater element. My O2 sensor failed because the heater element died. It cost me $45.00 and 20 minutes of my time to fix it. There was a Toyota recall campaign for ball joints where they did free replacements. My 2004 V-6 Tundra still has the original brakes and clutch. It can get up to 25 MPG depending on driving conditions. Except for the O2 sensor, the truck has been bulletproof.

I have a 2006 V8 model and it currently has 260,000 miles and I have not had any problem whatsoever since I had this truck. I’ve replaced parts over the years just to stay ahead of it but I have not had any transmission repair or work done whatsoever and the transmission in this truck feels exactly the same as it did the day I drove it off the lot.

Hi brother I got a problem , mi tundra 2001 got like a delay to start ( run ) engine at the begining , at soon the engine is on its ok runs realy well , I already change the oxigen sensor both , full filter and the spark plugs . But steal having the problem , it take like 3 to 4 time to start and run . What could be ?

The PCV valve connects to the throttle body and sucks oil and dumps it into the cylinder #2, drivers side front cylinder. The fix is either an oil catcher/separater, or a "T" and run another vacuum hose to the top of the intake where there are unused vacuum ports. Otherwise you will clog up O2 sensors. I figured this out when changing a starter which is under the intake manifold 😳, but fortunately they last a long time if you replace with a factory Denso starter. Tucson Alternator and Starter remanufactures just Denso starters and alternators and I have never had an issue with one of their parts.

Do any of you have a weird noise like a whine when starting the truck but goes away after it heats up? I have a 2001 with a v8.

You mentioned a sign of the radiator/transmission cooler failure being frothy”pink milkshake “ in the radiator/overflow tank and on the dipstick. I have never seen a gen 1 with a transmission dipstick. Is there an option to add one somehow I haven’t found?

@James Carroll Yup, this is correct

I have the 2001Tundra 4wd and I have the exhaust leak really bad and one shop quoted me $1,600.00 to fix it. I live in Colorado and don't know the rules but I'm going to check and see if they can replace the stock exhaust with a set of stubby headers, good video thanks for the info.~~~

New to me 2005 V8 - warming up sounds like a fan/air pump running. Not loud, just present, normal I assume? No codes etc.

Do you recommend one of these trucks over another one ?
