    3rd Gen Engine Failures

    If Toyota was smart they would just bite the bullet and install complete dressed engines that way the dealer could just pull the cab off remove the old engine and install the new dressed engine to the trans and transfer case and be done with it, expensive as hell, yes, but also faster.

    Are Luxury Vehicles Still Really Lux and Turbos

    I think the problem with the 2.7 liter turbo in the GM full size trucks is GM forgot to add on two extra cylinders, people hear four cylinder in a full size truck and they blank out, me included.

    3rd Gen Engine Failures

    I hate to type this but you would have to a loon to buy a Tundra or any Toyota/Lexus with this engine at this point, someone in another forum brought up a good point as to why Toyota did not recall the 2024 Tundra's too as Toyota would have to put a stop sale order on all of the Tundra's in...

    3rd Gen Engine Failures

    I was wondering about an engineering issue because it looks like the engines built in Japan are failing too, unless Toyota uses the same cleaning procedure after machining in the USA and Japanese built engines.
