Anyone who promotes a new short block as a fix for this is ignoring the fact that the oil that carried the machining debris went throughout the engine including the heads where the camshafts are. Those heads should not be reused IF the problem is indeed machining debris. One theory that is being suggested by another youtube video is that machining debris is a smoke screen for a poor main bearing design. This would explain why cylinder heads are being reused since they are unaffected by a bad main bearing design. Yes, I know a fix hasn't been fully devised by Toyota yet, but this theory of a bad design may get legs. We'll have to see. BTW, Toyota does not equip their motors with aluminum magnets so until they do the machining debris will have to be drained out with the oil.

I have a 2023 Tundra. I have had multiple issues with the gas gauge showing full when I know there is much less gas in the tank. An easy way to reset the gas gauge is to park on flat ground, leave the engine running and put the automatic transmission in park. Engage the transmission to drive. Shut off the engine. Watch the gas gauge. It should start to drop to the appropriate level (approximately 20 to 30 seconds). Put the transmission back in park. Restart your engine and all should be good. My dealer said they have never heard of the problem or how to reset. I have it documented at the dealer and am hoping Toyota can come up with a fix.

Rodney, the reason the hybrid version wasn't recalled is because this is a "safety" recall. Toyota says that if the hybrid version of the engine fails, the electric motor can power the truck until it's safe to pull over, so there is no safety issue in their mind and thus no recall. They're recalling the non-hybrid version of the engine because the truck loses power while potentially moving at fast highway speeds, creating a safety hazard. Toyota also decided to exclude 2024 Tundra's despite the fact that there have been plenty of 2024 Tundra owners that have reported the exact same bearing failure. This recall is a joke.
@Rodneysnwridesandreviews19 күн бұрын
Yes I read about the Hybrid models, and their reasoning for not including them in the recall. There’s a lot of things that just adding up. First it was debris left in the motors, then it was bearing having different torque settings, or pressure I think they said, and then it was only trucks built in a specific time period. As a salesperson at a Toyota dealership, I hope they will come up with a solution that restores the consumers faith in the product.

picking out rocks after you are off the gravel roads is nice for drivers that are behind you. It will save plenty of windshields. One thing that confuses me is why do you think you are just protecting the bed of your truck when on pavement... I am petty sure these tires will fling rocks while driving down a gravel road causing the same nicks and dings. The only protection is better rockguards at the wheel well, some protective armor at the bed, and limiting gravel road diving. Appreciate the review!

Yes I do.
@@Rodneysnwridesandreviews Are they E rated if so, did they hurt your performance
Toyota needs to put factory ppf over the whole rear fender.
I totally agree. Can you imagine what the TRD pro models will look like after a year.
Keep the factory sized tires if you don’t want rocks flinging onto the rear fenders… think about the people driving behind you! Either buy wider fenders or better mud flaps if you wanna get bigger tires
@@kevinbradley8613 there are people with factory tires having the same problem.
@@jmpattillo the OEM mud flaps don’t seem very effective. Mine didn’t come with the flaps, but I haven’t had any issues so far. I did purchase some sliders that I’m hoping will help to keep rocks from flying. The tires definitely love grabbing them! Unfortunately, it seems like we’ll have to depend on the aftermarket for more functional mud flaps. It’s odd how they decided on having them angled the way they are instead of vertically. I can’t stand seeing people with larger tires poking out of their fenders. I assumed the guy here had installed larger tires before watching the full video, but that doesn’t appear to be the case.
Are you using wireless car play? If so, do you know if it behaves better when using wired car play?
Yes I’m using wireless Carplay. I haven’t tried it while being tethered.
Main baring assembly too weak over heating causing brake down ..
You stated “nothing to worry about” if you want to buy a brand new 2024 Tundra. That is not accurate. Several 2024 owners have reported engine failures already. It seems Toyota did not include 2024 VINs at this time in order to avoid a stop sale situation. I was about to purchase a 2024 Tundra and just put on the brakes. I would NOT buy a new 2024 Tundra right now. The risks are high and resale values are tanking fast.
M for manual.. if you are reviewing a vehicles, you should know
Rodney, the reason the hybrid version wasn't recalled is because this is a "safety" recall. Toyota says that if the hybrid version of the engine fails, the electric motor can power the truck until it's safe to pull over, so there is no safety issue in their mind and thus no recall. They're recalling the non-hybrid version of the engine because the truck loses power while potentially moving at fast highway speeds, creating a safety hazard. Toyota also decided to exclude 2024 Tundra's despite the fact that there have been plenty of 2024 Tundra owners that have reported the exact same bearing failure. This recall is a joke.
Yes I read about the Hybrid models, and their reasoning for not including them in the recall. There’s a lot of things that just adding up. First it was debris left in the motors, then it was bearing having different torque settings, or pressure I think they said, and then it was only trucks built in a specific time period. As a salesperson at a Toyota dealership, I hope they will come up with a solution that restores the consumers faith in the product.
2024 Lexus GX? Or the LX? I got a 24 GX coming. I sold my 24 tundra 😂
picking out rocks after you are off the gravel roads is nice for drivers that are behind you. It will save plenty of windshields. One thing that confuses me is why do you think you are just protecting the bed of your truck when on pavement... I am petty sure these tires will fling rocks while driving down a gravel road causing the same nicks and dings. The only protection is better rockguards at the wheel well, some protective armor at the bed, and limiting gravel road diving. Appreciate the review!
200k Bumper to Bumper warranty, and I'm good! Do it, Toyota!
Rodney, I was just told my TRD sport premium was placed on QC hold the 7th of June, was wondering if you could look into it and see what’s going on? VIN#3TMLB5JN1RM021366
Is this a 6.5 bed?
Yes it is.
Thank you
I order a 24 sr5 tacoma it was built on the 5th of June got told by sells person today it's on a quality control hold it says for a under study. What does this mean
Usually a Quality Control hold is an inspection, or checking torque specs, that is performed at the port, before it’s released to the dealership.
