The SR thread, let's see them!

Wow!! Were you able to get all your issues fixed? BTW - nice truck

 

If you replace rotors, replace your pads.

Get oem rotors or brembo blanks.

Better yet, take your rotors to a shop and see if they can be turned. At 35K, they should be within specs for turning.

 

Thank you! When the dealer got the truck after it was towed, I was told no lights were on but they did a full diagnostic, and everything was perfect and fine, no fault codes nothing. My rear diff was replaced after I heard a howling noise at 969 miles, the stumbling trans I live with as the dealer said they had to plug in the ECU to see if I was affected(they never did so I live with it), a passenger seat squeaks to all, I was apart of the recall for the TSS, chattering leaf springs I didn’t know I had until a tech pointed them out, and I have a popping/clicking noise from the rear... I have been told it’s a characteristic of the vehicle.

 

Same diameter but about an inch wider. I replaced my 245-75-16s with 265-70-R16s. The speedometer is not affected, but they look 'beefier' because of the extra width.

That's crazy that you have all these issues. Have you tried taking it to another dealer? The stumbling trans doesn't bother me anymore. I guess I've just gotten used to it or it just got better on it's own.

 

It depends on what the reason they give for needing new rotors, the OP didn't say. If they're warped, they need to be replaced. I agree that at 35K, they should have enough thickness to be turned if not warped. Trouble is, a lot of shops just automatically tell you they need to be replaced, they won't be bothered bringing them someplace to be turned. More profit if they make you replace them.

 

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Is your Tacoma 4 or 6 cyl?

 

I have not, i have been down a couple of different options but since they said nothing is wrong I’m just living with it.

V6

 

You should try another dealer. You might have better luck getting your issues taken care of.

 

Same here... I have a front end clunk when I 1st pull out or back out of a parking space. They told me that they realize a new truck is not suppose to have the clunk but they could not find the source of the noise. Drive it they said so drive it I shall do.

 

I’m definitely interested in the wider 265 tire. The difference versus the 245 is obvious. What made you go with Falken versus the popularity of BF Goodrich K02?

 

I would have to agree.

That’s what I was told. Right before the TSS recall came out I had a faulty “BRAKE!” nothing around or in front of us. He then said to drive it and the lights came on. Haha so fingers crossed it’s nothing more.

 

I liked the reviews saying the tires were quiet. Was looking for the rugged look and performance but didn't want the tires to be loud on the daily commute. And they were affordable.

 

I appreciate your feedback. I’m moving Falken up on my list. The price point is reasonable compared to other brands, and I like the look of the tires.

 

They have been super quiet. Similar to stock. And have performed very well when needed. Overall great tire so far.

 

If you are interested, there is a good thread on here thanks to @oly51

I spotted this one earlier today and took a pic.

 

Wheeler Lake, CO last weekend.

All the SR really needs is tires....
