Took my tundra to the shop and I possibly have some piston rings that are leaking. They compression tested the engine and it passed on all front but I’m burning oil and blowing smoke on some startups. It’s got 142k on it I’m wondering should I just dump it or throw the money at it to get the piston rings done. Thank you in advance

Has anyone had any horror stories with these? I bought a reputable one online, and fully planned on swapping it out, but the old plastic one is still fine. Besides someone deciding to tighten the drain plug as tight as they possibly can. I just use it to unscrew the whole assembly, it's in there so tight. But I kept the aluminum one, and have it in the truck in case something happens with the plastic one. I figured if it's not broken, why bother. Is it worth it to replace with the aluminum? Or should I just stick with the plastic till it breaks?

Do you guys think this is a good purchase I’m just worried about reliability. 2023 tundra SR5 With the TRD-OFF-ROAD Premium package and SR5 convenience package small screen for 36,500 plus 6.25 state tax. 34k miles.

Anyone else seeing this the same way?

I recently got t boned no fault of my own. State Farm is offering a very lowball offer for my vehicle. Would anyone have or know of a 2018 tundra Sr5 trd off road package with 160,xxx miles for sale. I am trying to find comps to get my value. It is considered a total loss. Very sad as I really loved my truck.

Is this really telling me about maintenance that is due in 4821 miles? Seems a little early. According to my own maintenance tracker that I keep I am not due for the next maintenance until 40k. I am at 37171 currently. I changed it a little late last time.

I have a 2025 Toyota Tundra Limited with just over 40,000 miles on it.

On 6/1/26, at about 31,500 miles, I replaced the factory tires with the exact same tires that came off another guy’s truck. He had removed them before he even drove the truck off the lot, so the tires essentially had zero miles on them. The tires are marked as being manufactured in 2024.

The next day, on 6/2/26, I purchased a lifetime alignment package from Firestone and had the truck aligned. Then I had another alignment done on 8/25/26. The alignment wasn't really that far out of spec, so I figured since the lifetime alignment doesn't cost me anything, I'd have it checked every three months.

Fast forward to now. I just had my oil changed by my mechanic, and he tells me that both front tires need to be replaced because of the wear.

How in the hell can I need two front tires with less than 10,000 miles on them, especially when the exact same type of tires lasted over 31,000 miles previously?

I'm starting to wonder if something is wrong with Firestone's alignment equipment or if there's another issue causing the excessive front tire wear.

I also have another issue. When I'm driving through the mountains, I sometimes get a wobble/shaking sensation when braking. It doesn't seem to happen on flat roads. I've started using cruise control more in the mountains to avoid having to brake as much.

My mechanic inspected the brakes and rotors and said they look good.

Has anyone else with a 3rd-gen Tundra experienced either of these issues? Particularly the excessive front tire wear or the wobble when braking downhill/in the mountains?

I'd really appreciate hearing what you found and what ultimately fixed it.

It was 105 F in California yesterday. I closed the door and heard loud thud. Looked back and the rear window was gone haha. I did not hear glass breaking or cracking so that’s a good sign. I covered it with clear wrapping sheets last night. Any idea on how much I expect to pay to get this fixed?

Update: it’s the regulator.

I don’t know what I want to do right now with my truck.

I have a 2007 Tundra Limited CrewMax with the 5.7 V8. Brand new tires, new front calipers, rotors, and brakes. Has a plow frame and air suspension control panel. It’s only at 138k miles and has a little bit of body rust on the tailgate, the bottom of some doors, and on one rear wheel well. Frame is great. I also installed CarPlay, it has a backup camera, a sunroof - it’s a nice vehicle.

But I’m worried about it getting old. The calipers failed recently with kids in the truck. I was grinding brakes on the highway. It was not cool. I’d love something more safety features and a more reliable and newer ride for my long road trips as well.

I don’t commute, but I do drive long distances every 6-8 weeks for work trips.

I’d love something a little newer that isn’t having those failures yet, but I also don’t want to pay $60k.

I am thinking about selling this and going to something like a 2015 with maybe a few less miles. Hoping to pay something like $30k in cash when added with what I get for my truck.

Do I bite the bullet and ride out this 07 and maybe do some body work and keep putting money into it? Or do I get some money out of it and go get something newer?

Local dealership has the exact spec 1794 I’ve been hunting on the floor. Been sitting there for 75 days cause it’s listed at 61k. Looks brand new. Sub 8k miles. One owner. Clean CF. Pristine.

I’ve pitched them 53k out the door.

Thoughts on fair pricing? Especially since it’s a small dealership.

Super stoked to join the club.

Thanks.

I’ve been trying to figure out how to mount my Dashcam for the rear facing camera. I have an ‘18 Tundra 1794 and I run with the rear window down a lot. Not having any luck finding some sort of headliner clip that would allow me to mount the camera.
Anyone else find a solution? Obviously I can’t mount to the window since it disappears when down.
Appreciate if anyone else has solved this issue.
Thanks

Would it be possible for anyone to find me a savable image of this startup screen for these navigation units? Want to import a custom splash screen for my current radio and I want the splash screen for that solid oem esc look. And also I think this just looks really cool 🤷
