I have a 17 TRD auto 95,000 miles. There is an occasional whistling sound coming from the engine (I think) when I accelerate between 30 and 45 mph. It only lasts for about 5 seconds. Not every time I accelerate, and it can go away for a month and then come back. Ghosts? Help.

Went to dealer today for 70,000 service. They found a leak coming from the upper area of the engine. Something about aluminum rubbing aluminum and needs a new gasket??? and silicone??? Damn. Cost to remove the engine ~$3000 plus parts, which they say should not be much (gasket??) It will take...

I got a mailing from Toyota offering me this service for $80. The advert claims it will "restore performance and maintain full economy, free sticky throttle bodies from carbon build-up, and remove moisture from the fuel line and gas tank. What's this all about, and do I need it for a truck...

Does Toyota make a Tacoma with front obstacle sensors? I noticed this in the manual. "When multiple obstacles are detected in front and behind the vehicle at the same time. "The buzzer will change in the following manner..., yada yada.

Has anybody noticed that the Tacoma (17 Sport) only goes into cruise control in 4th or 5th gear and not 3rd gear? The manual says, "Resuming is available when the vehicle speed is more than approximately 25 mph (40 km/h)." Nothing about 3rd gear.

I want to add a USB port to the left of the steering wheel. Can I just remove the plastic around the bottom buttons or must I pop out the larger plastic that includes the cubby shelf? Thanks

I'm this close to needing new disc breaks, according to the dealer. 55,000 miles on the 2017 sport. I think this is a bit soon to do a brake job, but regardless, I'm having the job done. As recommended by the dealer, I'm going to replace them and make adjustments to the rear to sync the...

I went to the dealer yesterday, and they rotated the tires. I have some white paint on the right side tires. After the dealer was done, I still have the same tires on the right. Maybe they rotaed from to back. But I expected to have them rotated in a crossover pattern. Does anybody have...

Does anybody have a CB radio? What brand did you get and why?

I'm running Kumho Crugen HT51 265/65R17 112T BSW. I notice that crossing over the bump where the ramp concrete meets the black top merging right onto the highway there is loss of stability with the truck bumping left at the point where the two surfaces meet. I don't remember that with the...

When I joined this group 3 years ago, there was a lot of discussion on a lot of topics. It was interesting and educational to be here. Now, on the Maintenance Forum the last post/reply was Friday. On this forum, there have been only 7 posts/replies in the past week. That other forum posted 15...

This has been discussed before, but living in NC, I thought it wouldn't include me. Well, it does. Toyota extended it's coverage for 2017 Tacoma frame corrosion perforation for 12 years.

I have a 2017 tacoma with Entune. I think the 2019 headhunt includes Apple Play. Seems like an easy replacement. Can anyone tell me, are all the connectors on the back are the same? Aside from getting CarPlay, are there other pluses/minuses to consider?

Let's go through this again. Hemmings Daily bills itself as "The World's Largest Collector Car Marketplace." Maybe so, but I never heard of them before tonight. Regardless, they posted an article about octane rating and performance that concludes... "Although higher octane can cost...

I'm thinking about replacing my 2017 Taco head unit with the one above. I don't have JBL. Does anybody have experience with it? My car audio dealer lists this unit as JVC KW-M950BW, but I can't find a unit on line with that number. I want the replacement unit to have an amp at least as...

Hi all, I want to add a USB port in place of the blank to the left of the steering wheel, as shown. Please excuse the dumb questions, but here we go. Can I just reach around back of the blank and push it out, or do I have to remove the entire panel? Can I simply splice into the wires from the...

Will an MP3 CD play in a 2017 Tacoma head unit?

This is what I'm happy for this year, My truck is unstoppable; it can’t beat I slam the door and strap myself in the seat I start the engine and press the gas to the floor My truck takes off, downshifts, and then lets out a roar I wouldn’t be able to kayak if it wasn’t for my truck For better...
