Well that sucks.

Pretty much. I guess you’ve got that too and no hybrid on your truck

I’m at 1,800 miles. It’s not the engine off / on, I don’t think. It’s a small vibration when coming to a stop, but I’ll pay more attention to if it coincides with engine.

I get a super minor shudder when braking sometimes - on the Tundra forum people all say it’s the hybrid releasing from regenerative charging. I don’t think I have any issues. I think what is happening with some folks is a super high alert concern this may happen to them, and so any tiny thing...

Mine does nothing like that. All I feel on occasion is super tiny vibrations coming through the brake when slowing to a stop. It could been just be the electric motor for all I know.

Checking here to see if anyone has tried to install 285/70/18s

What do you mean low gears are torture? If it’s so obvious take the tech for a spin

When they want you to change a “dirty” air filter for $50 or do a throttle body service for $180, they are up your asshole. When you need them to do their actual job, which is to diagnose and resolve serious issues, they will always tell you it’s normal and to go home.

The more I read about the shudders and lurching when slowing down, the more I am worried. I drive out to a very far property and don’t want to get stuck! They should simply replace every single one in reverse order of build date.

If 2nd transmissions are failing Toyota has to fix this. And I want to wait until it’s a simple and known process. I’ve got plenty of time. Toyota knows this will cost them more in the long run in direct and reputational costs if they don’t get their shit in order

Yeah.. shit being left “loose” would drive me insane. Ugh. I have a feeling my transmission is fine but we shall see.

Gotcha. Would be good to know. And I agree that the dealer doing all this is cringe.

I was under the impression they do not have separate coolers and just use the main radiator

I think that’s right. Dumb question - aren’t the shavings going to be inside the tramsision fluid / in the trans and not in the coolant circulating around the trans?

Now that I know that - me too

I spent a fortune on a halo model too. But I’m going to be patient so that I get a proper fix if I need a fix.

More reason to take it slow (for me) so they know exactly how to fix it.

Correct. And that’s well known. I’ve got a trailhunter which isn’t covered (no hybrids are covered). Some pros have had issues too. I’m not convinced yet that mine has a problem but we shall see.

Right and I would rather it fail and get a new one.

I’ll do that when I change the oil for break-in at around 2,000 miles. That way I’ll have a record of it on file. I won’t push it too hard and let it play out. I’ve got the extra care warranty out to 125K miles.
