- Опубліковано 14 лют 2023
- This is a list of all the secrets, quirks, and hidden things about the 1st Gen Tundra. The 1st Gen Tundra has more going on than you might think. I talk about the hidden aspects of their drivetrian, engines, bed/cab configurations, special editions, and more! There's a supercharger, a terminator T3 edition, and common quirks like a "low" oil pressure gauge or burnt-out drive light. There were alot of things that made the first-gen Tundra stand out. Hopefully this will help you decide which model you'd like to turn into an off road or overland build! Thank's for watching and be sure to check out other videos on mods or maintenance!

I've got an '06 SR5 access cab, with the 1GR, 537k miles. Oil pressure gauge doesn't read low, and the drive light hasn't ever burned out. Got it with 30k miles in '09. Been an awesome truck.
That’s awesome! 537k miles is really impressive.
I didn't know the new age 1grfe would make it past 300k let alone 500k! I only thought that was 2uz and 5vz 3.4l territory
Not a fan of the 4.0 at all I dont really believe what your saying about yours with 500k
@@ToyotaNutjob I have nothing to gain by misrepresenting my Tundra's mileage. Are the data stamps easy to find on the engine, and transmission? If so, I can do an update video showing both are numbers matching, and original to the truck. Feel free to check out my 2006 Tundra playlist! ua-cam.com/play/PLOUNrCA5sSIM8WvzTJZykK7C2KOKEr5We.html
Been driving my '06 since January 2009, when it had 30K miles. I typically drive 30-40k miles per year. As of today, it has 537,806 miles. It's hard to believe, but I'm looking right at it! I recently stumbled upon some early driving videos from '09-'10 era, and will be uploading some throwbacks to the playlist as well.
Hello!
I am the original owner of a 2002 Tundra. I currently have 512,000 miles, love my truck!
Bruh, I've had my 00 tundra for 6 years and I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with no drive light lol
You're not! Haha
I have a 2000 as well, luckily mine is on
2002 and my "D" light is out too!
2003 trd me to
I have a supercharged '04 DC 4.7L V8. Love it.
That’s awesome! Never have gotten to drive a supercharged one!
02 SR5 here…my father bought the truck brand new in 02 and it’s owned by me now after his passing. The key lock gas door is an annoyance for me, and all of my AC knobs have fallen off. I do have the D light burned out and oil pressure gauge reads low. My drivers power window motor has failed twice. 235k miles now, some new suspension parts and engine maintenance parts like valve cover gaskets and belts. The 4.7 still runs perfectly, auto transmission shifts smoothly, AC blows cold, truck rides smooth and still has relatively nice interior for a 20yo truck. If it could last the rest of my life I’d never buy another truck.
I’ve owned three tundras, but struck gold with my 2000 4WD V8 SR5 with 128k for $3400! It’ll be the last truck I’ll ever need. Thanks for the video!
Hey man, I’ve got a first Gen tundra same color as yours. Just wanted to say I love these videos! Thanks for making them. Keep up the great work man.
That is so great to hear! I'm glad you like the videos! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Wasn't expecting you to be here, I love both of your guys' videos
Love all the info you pack into your videos! Good voice & no-nonsense, no time-filler presentation. Excellent job!
[Weren't you in some Star Trek Next Gen eps...? Picard: "Mr. Wesley!!" 😊😂]
Enjoyed the video and learned a few things! Ive got a 01 access cab. 3.4 w/ TRD supercharger, 5 speed manual, 4x4 with the manual t-case. Haven't seen any others with this combo before
That is an incredibly rare combination! Glad you enjoyed the video
Very cool!
I think you literally have the holy grail. Mine is an 01 AC 3.4, 5 speed manual, 4x4 with manual t-case as well... Bus missing that TRD Supercharger. Damn im jealous
My Dad had a single-cab long bed '04. V6, manual transmission and manual just about everything really. My brother now has it and it's as solid and reliable as ever. It's the kind of old school truck that you can't help but love, specifically for its simplicity.
That’s awesome! I would love to have a truck like that
I have an ‘06 regular cab 6 speed manual tundra. It’s the perfect work truck, I’m never getting rid of it. Only 150k
😂 love the comment about burnt out D light. Any time I let someone move my truck I tell them there is no D light so that’s how you know you are in gear
Haha that’s great!
My 04 is the same.. No lights is alright,
2000 4.7 SR5 best truck ever owned so far. Nice vid.
They’re great trucks!
I bought 3 of the first generation Tundras. By going to a professional radio shop that local car dealers recommend, people can have updated radios with navigation, Bluetooth, etc. Also, some radios can use an app that continuously updates navigation rather than pay for uodates. The updated mirrors for outside temperature, direction, and garage door opener are excellent. The trucks can also had a cell phone booster installed. Once all this is put in, it is updated to today's modern trucks.
Change out the oil pressure sensor down by the oil filter and the gauge pressure in the dash will return to normal. Mine was dropping to zero when Idling. Just bugged me. 02 Tundra SR5 Extra cab.....Original owner 220k miles. JimM.
EXCELLENT content. Instant follow. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks!
First time first gen owner.
Very valuable tid bits in this vid...via the oil pressure gauge,.etc.
Id owned two FJ40's before I had ever owned my tundra. ..lol. in the process of rebuilding a '77 fj now. Bought a 1 owner '03 with 150k. Love it so far. Very clean. Looking forward to having my two builds developing together. One keeps me motivated to go work on my other..(the FJ)..
Have a great spring. Great job.
Peace
Glad the video helped! Good luck with your Toyotas!
Very nice and educational. Wish it had chapter marks; but for a year old video-it’s amazing! Thanks for sharing~
That’s good feedback! Thanks.
I got about a year ago a '00 SR5 V8 2wd. It has 320,000 miles now and drives beautifully. The previous owner who I got it from when it had around 316,000 miles on it had taken such good care of the truck. I asked him what he gotten done to it and he told me he just kept up with oil maintenance, spark plugs, ect. The basics. Of course after I bought the truck I doubled checked everything just in case and everything looked, sounds, and feels great. I've slowly been giving it a tune up when ever I get my pay checks.
That’s awesome! I hope the truck continues to treat you well
I own a 2003 Toyota tundra sR5 access cab This video helped me out a lot. Thank you.
Awesome!
I paid 500 for a 2004 double cab. I wish it was 4x4 . But oh well. They thought it was a lost cause. Differential was shot after they replaced already. But they never changed carrier bearing or fixed the drive shaft.luckily I had a wrecked sequoia of the same year. I've never had a toyota before. Always powrstroke or duramax. This is the best truck I've ever had. Hands down.
I believe the 05/06 models went to LED in the instrument cluster, my 2006 SR5 DC has all the cluster lights with factory LED's, so I think those years don't blow the "D" light bulb. Mine does have outside temp and compass in the mirror thankfully. When I upgraded all of my interior lights to LED I was surprised to see that only the driver footwell has a light. I highly recommend upgrading all of the interior lights and heat/AC dash lights to high quality (I used Sylvania) LED's. The dash dimming knob still works on all the lights too. It makes the interior bright and modern for only a few $$.
Ya, interior LED’s are on my list, though I don’t mind the stock ones too bad. I think my HVAC knobs are burnt out though
I just purchased a 2005 Sr5 4.7 double cab Rwd with limited slip diff and 170k miles, I was doubting it at first but now that I have it for a week and I’m in love with it!!
That’s awesome! Hope the truck treats you well!
Curious if you have good current insight for sourcing one of these beauties?
@@asksteevs definitely! it’s an awesome truck!!
My 2000 tundra v8 Sr5 I got 110 thousand when bought now it’s 320 thousand mile and running strong. Keep up with that tuneups and and change radiator. It last
I’ve got an 03 step side SR5 with 143K. Freaking love that truck. Change fluid and T-Belt at 90K , and keep on cruising.
That’s great!
I’m entertaining the idea of selling my 2000 tundra to get something like 2015-2017 tundra because I want something bigger. But the size of the 1st gen is really nice for the trails and had good ground clearance.
Good content, comprehensive
Thanks!
Great video. Some have a factory amp under the rear seat.
Thanks!
Mine had an (unplugged) amp under the seat when I got it from the original owner, but I always assumed it was aftermarket
I drive an 06 Tundra with the 4.0 V6. 240,000 miles and still going strong. Great truck
Just picked up an 04 Limited double cab. I love it it’s up for the radio is not working trying to find the amp . Still have the O2 Pathfinder with the lift kit and discovery springs
Awesome! On my 01, the amp is below and behind the the stereo, though there’s another comment on this video about an amp under the seat on the JBL system tundras.
Pathfinders are great, hopefully it’s treating you well!
@@208Tyler The Pathfinder is cool you’re right pathfinders are oil burners, but I only use it to hit the trails with the dogs or mountain bike. I was told today that the amp could be behind the backseat. Another person told me the app is under the glove compartment, so I don’t know Toyota installed them like Easter eggs on different years.
Great video thank you
You bet! Glad you enjoyed it
I have a 2006 SR5 double cab with the XSP package. Has 109k on the engine, leather interior with XSP badges, 20 inch wheels, dealer maintenance by the original owner. I’m the 2nd owner purchased it less than a year ago from my military veteran neighbor, best decision ever!
That’s a great truck! It should take care of you for a long time!
I have a 2001 Acab with the Ivan Stewart package. Black grill with a red "TRD", painted grill surround, painted front and rear bumpers, 18" TRD alloy wheels, Bilstein shocks, black TRD carpeted mats, chrome TRD dual exhaust with tips. It's white, very cool. Still looks like new. I get a lot of comments about it.
An optional leather package that added significant bolstering to the seats was offered as an option on the Ivan Stewart package, this may have been in 02. I was able buy the leather from Toyota's Supplier in 2006 and have it installed. I also picked up a set of Ivan Stewart Black mirror covers and floor mats. Both nice upgrades.
I just bought a 2003 tundra 4.7 access cab, has only 108k miles on her. So far this truck is great, loving the ride of this truck.
Awesome find!
Don't for get to replace the timing belt. about $300 for timing kit. belt, water pump and new tensioners & pin .
2004 Access Cab V-6. -- from day 1, my oil pressure "gauge" has been barely above the bottom mark as soon as the engine has warmed up, no matter speed or rpms.
I'll hit 1/4 million miles next month....
By the "Drive" indicator light still works!
Funny thing. I read about the drive light bulb so i was going to swap with the L. I swapped them and both started working
Good Video. The 2000 V8 motor was Built in Japan and shipped to the US. All subsequent years the motor was built in the USA.
There was a 2002 *Ivan Stewart special edition* that had an optional two tone perforated leather package that added significant bolstering to the seats. It was shown at the SEMA show that year, Toyota had Ivan Race the Tundra in the Baja 1000. In 2006 I contacted the company that produce the leather for toyota because Toyota no longer sold it. I was able to purchase it and have it installed for less than the stock leather and it is still in good shape. My 2000 currently has 90K and is rust free living in the SW. I don't have the oil pressure gauge issue, maybe the Japan built motors don't have the issue.
Thank you! That’s fascinating, the Ivan Stewart is my favorite edition, but somehow I forgot it for this video haha
There is a couple other super rare limited editions only one I can think of rn is the Ivan Stewart one
You're right! I don't know I how forgot to mention the Ivan Stewart editions... ugh. That would've been a good one for this video.
I had an 03 Tundra T3 4x4, never got stuck ever. The frame rust was so bad though
It had Borla dual exhaust that sounded awesome
That’s awesome, too bad it rusted out!
Another thing to add onto the stepsides, is that the stepside unlike the TRD off-road, was the TRD sport edition
I bought a 2000 17 years ago for work and play. Just passed it down to my 16 year old with 280k.
Awesome!
Nice video
Older Chevy pickups had the same problem on the oil pressure gauge. Would drop to almost zero at idle and max out at 3000-4000 rpms. Rule of thumb, 10 Psi per 1000rpm's and you good to go.
I'm going to check out a 02 Tundra in a couple days with 132k. I thought that was semi high mileage until I started checking out a few reviews. This one guy has a Tundra with over 400K. With all this positivity I'm pretty sure I'm gonna pull the trigger unless something odd stands out. I also hear there might be an issue with the timing chain, trans cooler lines and the intake or exhaust manifold on these model but that's all alive really heard.
Yup! That’s low miles. I have a “common problems” video that addresses all those issues you stated: ua-cam.com/video/SDRuBZeuUIk/v-deo.html
Can confirm, my 06 DC Limited does have the compass and thermometer.
Noooooo! Guess I need to go buy a Limited Tundra haha. Thanks for commenting!
I have a 2002 sr5 with 4.7 v8 4x4 extended cab with 215k I've owned since 2023 when it had 180k and my oil pressed gauge does exactly what you mentioned and my light I'd burnt out in the gear indicator for "D" lol but I love my truck sure it's old but damn it, it works just put new tires on it, nothing special just a 50k rated A/T not name brand but I'm sure they will work fine ..next new shocks and struts 😅
My youngest kid seemed to have a built in compass in her brain. She could always tell which direction we were traveling. Crazy!
Just picked up an ‘06 and I was wondering the exact same thing about my oil pressure😆. Also mine is a limited and it does have a compass and temp gauge, incase you haven’t already heard that.
Oil pressure gauge censor is at the front and will rust off like it did on mine. Replaced it and works fine.
Ive got the V6 Stick 4x4 version with manual transfer case. I absolutely love my truck and it just broke 100,000 miles.
That’s awesome!
My cousins 03 Tundra had the indicator light for park burnt out and drive was still fine lol. My 06 Sequoia still had all working shift indicator lights working which was kinda funny.
Haha, those lights always burn out, one or the other! On mine it’s the drive light
@@208Tyler indeed they do haha. Ive also seen ones with all the lights burnt out
mine too.
Recently bought an 05 double cab 4x4, I like it but I can see where it needs a few mods. But first the seats a little uncomfortable; might consider reupholstering. Also there's not enough leg room because the seats do not go back far enough. I'm gonna try swapping in the Sequoia seats but if that does not fix it I will not be keeping it.
The Tundra was designed solely for the North American market, designed in the US, and built in NA to compete with bigger US trucks, while at the same time avoiding the "chicken" tax. Toyota never had any intention of exporting it. Wouldn't make sense for a number of reasons. And yeah, they totally took the styling and name of the F150, but everything else vastly improved, as Toyota does. Great vids, man. Cheers.
Thank you!
Yo love the vids. I drive the same first gen tundra sr5 access cab as you. But get this I have a working key fob that locks and unlocks the truck, and can make the alarm go off.
Thank you!
That’s cool! My 01 didn’t come with a fob, I’m not sure if it’s fob-compatible or not.
@@208Tyler Mines a 2000 and is in pretty good condition. Less than 190,000 miles
Good to know! I might try pairing mine sometime then!
I still have BOTH original remote fobs that came with my 04 Access cab. Both still work......with the original batteries!! Alas, the keyring attachment loop has broken on both, and the replacement cases from AmazonDO NOT fit. Correct shape, but not deep enough. ☹️
I have seen a T3..
I thought it was some kind of O'Reilly sticker package here in California. More Respect now..
Nope, it’s legit haha
I have a regular cab 05 4.7 tundra with rhe full bed, and lemme just tell you that sucker has helped me move SO many fucking couches it’s ridiculous. Best truck ive ever owned
I'm not exactly nerd level knowledgeable in Toyotas but I have seen these are having a growing popularity as expedition trucks and they've caught my attention. Personally I really prefer a manual in my after work and weekend rigs. Between the 3.4 5 speed and 4.0 6 speed, did it gain VVTI or did it have that across both engine options? I like my stuff dumb and simple. Also more piddly but can the crew cab back glass be fitted into a regular or access cab?
The 4.0 had VVTI, the 3.4 did not. There’s very few 4.0 tundras, I’m not sure which cabs and which drivetrains (4x4 vs 4x2) could get the 4.0, let alone with the manual transmission.
No, crew cab rear window does not easily retrofit.
I would not get the 3.4 V6, the V8 is already not wildly powerful for a full size truck.
there's also the XSP package, with upgraded 18 (or 20?) inch wheels and leather... pretty rare, the only one i've seen in California is my own :)
That’s a good note! I’ve seen the XSP a little bit, I don’t know a ton about it. Kinda slipped my mind!
Yup I have an 06 XSP with 20inch wheels. The tires aren’t cheap for that truck either.
I have an 01 tundra 4.7 249k my oil pressure is in the middle when cold but once it warms up it will go to low at idle like at a light but soon as I move it goes up. I was scared this was an issue at first but I’ve been driving it for almost a year and it doesn’t seem to bother it all, I am going to change the oil pressure sending unit next time I change the oil I read that can stop that but I also read it is normal?? Idk. Crossing fingers and toes it’s normal. Oh and my drive light is burnt out too, changing to leds soon to solve that. I had a 91 22 re for years and I loved that truck. So far I’m thinking I might really sink some money into this truck and restore a lot of it (northern truck,rusty) and keep it as long as possible, I use it for a work truck but I don’t abuse it or do any heavy towing, so I think it’s gonna serve me well for a decade or two.
I have an 06 DC Limited, the same year Sequoia has the gas mileage read out, but the Tundra apparently doesn't have the option. I wanted to see if I could add a Sequoia compass. My truck has temp and compass but no gas mileage. Also transmission dip stick was deleted in 05 and up. 225k miles and running strong though! Just change your oil and ball joints!
I have a 03 sr5 stepside trd it’s white and chrome it has 270 k miles on it. Also mine has the outside temperature reading in the rear view mirror.
There is a Toyota TSB for updated oil pressure senders. Fixed mine.
I have a 2006 v8 2wd that reached 200k. Half of its life was spent pulling a 3000 lb dump trailer with up to 10000 lbs of aggregate, pavers, rock, dirt, etc. I know I shouldn't but just wanted to share how capable the truck is. And no it doesn't look like it's sagging or anything like that
Also I put a bench seat in mine from an access cab, fabricated the mounting hardware. It's so awesome
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing!
274,XXX Miles and my D Bulb for Drive is still lit extremely well, Surprised it has not burnt out yet!
Wow! That’s impressive. Mine was gone when I got it at 194k
Answer to why the compass mirror. You have first understand you have Factory Options & Distributorship Option. The compass mirror is a Dist. Option they put in with package they make, or dealer upgrade. South Eastern Toyota ToyoGaurd would sometimes have (Hold Back) on the invoice. Hold Back is use to be 3% MSPR but I think its 5% now Dealer Invoice. Distributorship would ad $550 to dealer invoice back then.
I have 3 Tundras. The third I just bought for parts SR·5 access cab all 2003.
My 2 original Turdra's where bought brand new in late 2002
SR·5 TRD 2wd. (TRD package gives you a 7500LBS. towing cap. VS 5,000LBS) & 17 Wheels I swapped from my limited.
120K I just blew out the oil pump and killed everything from the block down. Crankshaft cost more than a beater 03 SR·5 with 175K. I bought.
Put in a new Timing Kit with water pump, oil pump, and rear main seal & the gaskets that need replacing. i hope to have it back this coming week.
&
Limmited with 71K miles leather interior (big mistake) now I use the 16 wheels from the SR·5 and have it stock, where I lifted the TRD & put the larger tires. 20 years with a car is a super long time for me. I was used to having a new car every 5000 miles. I miss having a demo.
Not a Tundra, but I also have a 03 Corolla CE, the we lifted and made gave it Pre Runnder nose push bar & winch. I took the 15 stock wheels and put 17 wheels from a Scion TC. Its called the The Corolla Virus™...

The first gen Double cabs have a unicorn combo primary/secondary master cylinder that are connected together and connect to the brake booster. This one of a kind braking set up has no after market rebuild kit or rebuilt units available, so your only option is to buy a new replacement assembly which includes the brake booster which will set you back 900-1300 dollars from a dealer.
Interesting, thanks for sharing.
Not correct! My truck has the unicorn MC and I replaced it with a Carquest, didn't have to touch the booster. The fun part is that the MC can't be bench bled, you have to do it installed on the truck. It works out though, not too hard once you get the right part
@@ninjalectualx Help out your fellow truck owners by providing the Carquest part number.
@@ninjalectualx Please provide the carquest part number for your fellow double cab owners so they do not have to spend the $1500 to buy the complete assembly and waste their money.
I have a 2001 tundra sr5 limited with a outside temp gauge and compass reader on it
Ok, that’s what I’ve been hearing- the SR5’s don’t have it
If your tundra came with a JBL sound system I suggest unplugging the factory amp behind the rear seats. I’ve had two of these amps go bad causing a parasitic drain on my battery killing my battery..
That's some very useful info. Thanks for sharing!
@@208Tyler No problem, that’s my only complaint about my 2005 dbl cab tundra this truck has been a awesome truck too own the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned.. Keep up the great videos you put out I’ll be hitting the subscribe button now 🤙🏽
@@fkyourpolitics2997 Awesome! Thank you so much, I appreciate it!
It also came available with the TRD package. My 2001 has the TRD (Toyota Racing Development).
Yes, it did come with that package. Unfortunately, almost nothing of substance was introduced with that package. No rear locker or special skid plates, grilles, etc.
I didn’t know the manual transfer case is rare. I have it and I thought it was just an older truck model that didn’t come with the buttons
Ya! That transfer case is really uncommon!
The D light is just a bulb u can buy from Toyota. I swapped mine with the L bulb. And I had a 04 Iven Stewart model that I'm curious about how many of those were made
Getting ready to step into an 03’ regular cab V8 4x4. I am not sure what to expect. Hi have had the 4Runner Tacoma FJ and now this. Not much in the after market world for these truck it seems
After your video. I just bought rare a 4wd '01 Toyota Tundra Ivan Stewart Signature Edition. No luxury seats ljke 2002 limited edition but preferred clothes seats than leather.
The Ivan Stewart edition is awesome! Congrats on the purchase.
I wish I had remembered to include it in this video
My 2004 Sr5 4x4 DC has a compass and outside temp gauge! right below the sunglassses holder. dont know why but it doesnt have the live mpg readout like our older 02 sr5 sequoia. Weird.
That is weird haha
I've seen videos on Sequoias and they mention the A-Trac and center living diff. It's this also in the 1st gen Tundras?
No
Do you know of any Hi Performance parts outlet for the first gen Tundras?
Dirty Deeds Industries for exhaust and injectors
What breaks on every tundra. ?
¹▬ The plastic AC control Knobs.
²▬ The Plastic Door Handel & back side window vent. The Plastic breaks.
³▬ The Plastic clip that hold the metal bar in the Tail gate latch. Almost every older Tundra has a broken handle on the tail gate.
03 Tundra as Two Recalls.
lower ball joint
Air Bag.
Does anyone know about the gear shift handle breaking ? I've seen 3 like that. one in a video, two Broken gear hanndel used tundra I saw had same problem. Like the beater 03 I bought for parts.
I was wondering why my drive indicator was not working and why the the oil pressure kinda low at idle. Still I love my 03 SR5 TRD and also the truck in Terminator 3 was a regular cab long bed with a "special" utility shell because the woman was a veterinarian, so the special edition is a mystery to me. 🤷 1st gen Tundras rule!!!
I have an 06 sr5 and it has a temperature gauge for outside and a compass
Hi. I found an 06 Tundra double cab with an Auto LSD button to the left of the 2WD/4HI button. It looks factory. I'm in the market for a Tundra and out of about 100 of them I came across one that has that option. Rare?
Thank you 🙏
I’m not sure how rare the option is, but I don’t think it’s a game changer necessarily
PLEASE MAKE ONE ABOUT THE SECOND GEN TUNDRAS
Where can I buy Transfer Case 2000-2004 Toyota Tundra v8 Manual Trans
I have a '05 Double Cab SR5 and ut has a compass and outside temp display above the mirror. Notices you mentioned that the 1st gen didn't have them.
I didn’t say that no FGT has them, just that mine doesn’t
You didn't mention the Ivan Stewart edition Tundra. I have one. They only offered it for 3 years and only 1000 per year.
Yup, it slipped my mind making the video. One of my favorite editions!
I have a 2001 SR5 tundra extra cab that has the compass and outside temperature on the rearview mirror.
Man! Lucky haha. I’ve since heard it was a dealer ordered package
I've made this comment before but I do have an '03 SR5 V6 with a 5 speed and factory manual transfer case, I'll try to send pictures to show you.
I have seen these in junkyards before. They’re really cool, really rare!
Just can’t get either option with the V8, which is what bums out most enthusiasts.
The 4.7l is also a high carbon block made for that Nascar racing.
What is rarely ever mentioned is the early access cab which had suicide doors only Tundra had the suicide doors with the door handles on the Outside, like the real old days suicide doors on cars.
Are the Toyota Tundra made to push on the fly for 4wd? Thanks.
For the tundras that have electronic T-cases, they’re made to shift between 2HI and 4HI while driving up to speeds of about 55 mph.
4LO shifting must be done in neutral.
There’s a dude in my area with a T3 4x4 😮😮 I’m up in the PNW Canada

I'm about to go look at an 04 sr5 4x4 tundra regular cab long bed. If there's anything anyone can tell me what to look for to make sure it's a good truck then please do share.
Inspect the underside! Some are completely rusted out! It’s sad!
I have an 03 SR5 Tundra I have a compass it's on my mirror along with temperature
Man! That’s not fair haha

If you're oil pressure is low, you're most likely low on oil. These trucks are 6.6 quarters per oil change and I usually have to go up to 7 quarters to get my dipstick dialed in on flat surface
That’s not what I meant- the oil pressure gauge doesn’t have a “low” indicator like other gauges might. So it looks “low” on the gauge when in all reality it’s fine
@@208Tylerlol it literally says "H" at the top and "L" at the bottom.
I'll I'm saying is mine is centered on the gauge at idle, when fully warmed up, and slightly increases as RPMs increase.
After my first oil change I put in 6 quarts thinking that would be enough and when I started the truck the oil pressure was low even on a cold start. Once I found out the proper oil amount I was able to see it on my dipstick and oil pressure returned to center. And if you overfill your oil you'll have higher pressure. Just my experience and wanted to share it
@@jeremywhitfield4689Sure. But it doesn't indicate a "normal" or "expected" range, doesn't have any numbers attached, and for most people it reads below the "half" mark fully warmed up. That's all that section of video is intended to comment on - lot's of people ask that question, so I addressed it in the video.
I just googled oil pressure yesterday ive had my double cab only since the 7th of July. When i read idle should be 4-5 psi i quit worrying about it I came from a 2005 GMC Sierra.
At least on my truck, the oil gauge has no numbers to tell you what psi it’s at
@208Tyler mine either I'm just assuming at idle with it at the low point its probably what they said 🤷
I own the T3 2003 Tundra!
Awesome! Good find
What about the 2006 TOYOTA TUNDRA TRD YAMAHA SPECIAL EDITION. Might have been a Canadian only offering.
Looking at a 2006 SR5 with a 4.7 it has 230,000 miles. But there is a litte problem the over drive sometimes kicks on or off by its self. Is this any easy fix?
I’m not sure, I’ve not heard of that issue before. Maybe if it’s electrical it’s easy, but if it’s to do with the transmission I’d avoid it
@@208Tyler thanks for the info!
@braddeemer1840 Yes this is a very common issue and very easy to fix. The column shifter has a button on the tip for OD lockout when towing or hauling heavy loads. The wire inside the steering column for this button rubs against something, wears through the insulation and shorts out causing the OD lockout to engage randomly. Check that the "OD off" lamp on the instrument cluster is illuminated when the truck unexpectedly drops out of OD and this will confirm the wiring issue. If you don't see this lamp illuminated when this happens, that would suggest genuine transmission problems.
I fixed mine with electrical tape, but if it happens again I'll cut the wire so I can add heat shrink, then solder it back together
Also so many people neglect the transmission service. I bought mine with 400k km. I did a dump and fill twice within 3 months. I used Valvoline Maxlife from Walmart. I put in exactly what I took out from the first drain. No dipstick. She’s running way smoother now. I will do another dump and fill in about 30k.
Well I see it as win that ford sued toyota for the name, tundra is a whole lot better name then t150
The one secret that took me over a year to find was the ball cooler
That’s a really nice one
I have a 05 DC Lucchese edition.
I had no idea that was a thing, I had to look them up!!
Could someone please confirm if all MK1 Tundras come with the TRD Off Road / TRD Sport decals on the rear?
MK1 meaning Generation 1? The chassis code is like XK40.
Not all 1st Gen tundras come with TRD packages. In fact, most don’t. A lot of times people will add them to the truck after purchasing.
@@208Tyler Thanks for your advice. I am currently looking at a 2003 2WD which has TRD Sport decals but wasn't sure if they had just been stuck on for effect. What does the TRD package add please?
Ok, Gotchya. To my knowledge, TRD adds exhaust and slightly better shocks. No diff lock or special skid plates or anything like that.
@@208Tyler Thanks again for this information. There isn't much on the internet so your input is greatly appreciated. I believe this truck has uprated suspension and a LSD, not sure about the exhaust system though. They are like hens' teeth in the UK so I think I will just go for it! Thanks again pal
Awesome! Have fun with the truck, hopefully it treats you well!
I used to have a '15 and now have a '20 and neither showed low oil pressure, they both idled just under half-way.
Ya this more applies to the 00-06
My dad's 2000 tundra came with the compass in the mirror . His is a limited tho
