I am sure this is here somewhere but Im not finding it specifically:
The TSB for cab mount replacement (that I found here) covers 2007 to 2010. My service manager had a blank look when I showed it to him, and it wasnt in his system at all.
Did the rear cab mounts change after '10? Specifically, I am trying to improve the ride on my '12 crewmax and am on a mission to throw everything I can at it.
Does anyone have the part number?
If I cant get this thing smoothed out, its not going to be a keeper
By kitchen sink, these are some of the items I am trying:
Upgraded shocks/coilovers: I put the TRD Pro set on recently. They helped, but more with the bigger bumps and not the jiggling and jarring felt on seemingly trivial cracks.
Deaver springs in the rear. In process. Fine by me to derate loading capacity, I dont tow and dont need a 3/4 ton capacity at all.
Added 240# of sand to the back of the bed. Again helped, but still not a great ride.
I am going to put some weight in the backseat (sand bags on the floor). The thought is that if its a harmonic between the cab and chassis, weight will change this and easier test than switching cab mounts. But may do the cab mounts anyway.
Tires: These are 20" rims with the stock Goodrich Rugged Terrains (275/55/20). My latest thinking that this could be much of the problem on the jarring felt on small cracks that dont really actuate the suspension. Given the front is a little higher now with the TRD Pro coils, I thought I would go to a larger sidewall and a passenger rated tire such as the Michelin LTX M/S. Maybe 285/60's?? (if those will clear). More sidewall is better from what I have read here.
TRD sway bar going in just to help roll in the corners.
I am open to any suggestions. There is a LOT of reading out there on improving the ride of these trucks, and some of it is contradictory so tricky to know whats valid. I dont tow. Carry kids and soccer gear and some home improvement materials. And some antique garden tractors from time to time, hence the preference for a pickup over a SUV.
(feel free to bash me about it being a 'truck' and I should live with it. Its not worth it to me in the current ride comfort, will switch brands if I cant sort this out. I have been driving a first gen Tundra since 2002 and loved it. This new one, not so much. But it seems like it 'has' to be solvable)
