Talk to a Certified Toyota Service Writer about this issue!!! Lots of mechanics don't know about this problem.
In the early first gen Tundras there was an
upgrade witch in my opinion should have been concidered a
recall. Many Tundra's were experiencing this same problem so Toyota offered a caliper up grade for free under warranty or if your warranty was expired you had to fork out $1200
. It seemed the calipers were undersized and it began warping the rotors and causing a vibration. I just spent $99 a year on new rotors as my warranty was expired at the time my truck first started doing this. I believe there is also a fix they do with a shim in the caliper. I would look into the upgrade! There are more than a few aftermarket caliper upgrades out there. Notice how Toyota went with the monster 4 wheel disk on the new trucks?
Good luck man! Anything else you need to know about your Tundra just let me know I had a 2000 SR5 V8 4X4 for 7 years. Great truck by the way! That's probably the only issue you will ever have with that great truck!!! I got 180,000 semi-trouble free miles out of mine.
