Take it to an independent shop who knows lifted trucks and performance/stance lowered cars. Ignore the new "measure the ride height" BS that Toyota created for this truck and the new Tundra - it causes more issues than necessary. Hunter now has it integrated into their software and it's...

I'm not going to watch some clickbait video. If the snow is over a legit road and less than maybe 5" deep, or is a fully compacted snow surface where the tires don't sink in at all, that's not deep snow. That's just a snowy road. A Subaru with good tires can cruise over this. Real "deep snow"...

That part has zero purpose - when the hood is closed, there is no gap for critters to enter the air box. The weatherstrip on the intake seals against the hood. And it will absolutely restrict air flow.

I imagine your question is rhetorical, so you don't actually want to know about anyone's specific financial situation. Everyone makes their own financial decisions for cars. Some people make good ones (large down payment and low rate/short term loan). Some make great safe ones (save up, pay...

Yeah, the first Tech was patronizing and immediately dismissive when he drove it with me. I have an appointment with the QC Supervisor this morning where I plan to drive it to recreate the issue.

I calculated the wheel/axle and driveshaft rotational frequencies at certain wheel speeds. Then I did a bunch of vibration data logging with the "Resonance" app on my way home from work. There was zero correlation between frequency and wheel speed, driveshaft speed, or even engine speed. The...

Honestly... File the insurance claim and consider the truck gone. It sucks, but that's likely the best outcome possible for you.

Yes! This is what I'm going to try today. I didn't even think of that idea until @MT-Taco shared an app on the previous page. I think this will definitely tell me if it's a diff/axle/hub issue, or trans/t-case/driveshaft issue.

His trans was the issue, right? I have that fear for my truck too.

I downloaded some free vibration analyzer software and just did my own calcs to determine the rotating frequencies for the diff and drive shaft. I'm going to test that after work today.

Yeah, I posted on TW as well to try for more input. And yes, longbed with a carrier bearing. That's another possibility.

You can get an OEM Toyota tonneau for that price if you catch a good sale.

Oh cool, that is a great idea. I checked the price though...... $99.99!?!?!? They need to offer a consumer (not pro) version for like $10.

I had that thought too. There's no obvious play in the rear wheels, but a rumbly bearing might be an issue.

That's happening tomorrow. I had to open a case with Corporate Toyota, since a dealer tech initially brushed it off and said "it's a truck, it's not supposed to drive smoothly". My faith in the dealership isn't high so I'm also trying to troubleshoot myself as much as possible.

There's no change while braking, and I've warped a few rotors in the past and know that feeling. It's actually most noticable while not braking (mostly on coasting/decel and consistent speed). The vibration came on quickly and didn't change when I swapped back to my OEM wheels and tires. I'm...

The truck hasn't seen freezing conditions yet this year. Good idea though.

No lift, tires are road force balanced, just got it aligned at the dealership.

Yeah, the needle bearing vibration is more of a "buzzing" (and felt through the steering wheel) while the vibration I have is more of a rumbling/thumping and felt through the chassis. It's a weird one.

Edited the response - I realized that the ring is highlighted blue in step 1, turn the knob in step 2.
