Tundra EX CAB 4.7L V8
My 2003 Tundra started making noise under warranty but it wasn't loud enough to go to a mechanic for. When it became more consistent & louder, I took it to Toyota dealer service. A mechanic who went on a test drive with me didn't know where the noise was coming from. Told me to bring it back when it got worse. I took it to an outside Toyota service and the mechanic told me it sounded like the transmission and told me it would be better if I had "Over drive" turned off. Sure enough it did. He called his friend who is a transmission specialist. He told me Toyota put in V6 transmission into V8 engines. So I went back to Toyota. A different mechanic told me the transmission is too small. Ask me not to tow anything. Isn't that what Toyota has always advertised? How much a Tundra could tow? And isn't that why I bought a V8 truck so I can tow? I contacted AskToyota. They regret I am having problem but not willing to pay for insufficient transmission they put into the V8 engines. My gripe: They advertised that Tundra has the 245 horse power. It turned out they are 3 legged handicapped horses!!!
