Anything I need to watch for on my 2007?

[CaptPete]

On Saturday I traded my 05 F-150 for a leftover 07 Tundra Double Cab SR-5. The deal offered was just too good to pass up and the Tundra is head and shoulders above my F-150. The truck has the SR-5 Offroad package, and is 2WD, with the 5.7 engine. So far, I have noticed that at slow speed I get a chatter/vibration like running over "wakeup" grooves cut in the road. I believe that the trans is searching up and down for a gear it wants to be in. The vibration goes away as soon as I either take my foot off the gas or press harder. Has anyone else experienced this? Are there other things I need to watch out for?

Thanx

So far so good with mine,
BED BOUNCE ON BUMBY FREEWAY'S is pretty bad,
and watch out for small cars,
and when using S mode it seems that the gears take forever to shift IMO

I believe that is the "rumble strip" issue -- a known issue caused by a faulty torque converter. It's something that's fixed under warranty and known to affect a certain number of 07s

Yup sounds like the torque converter... take it to the dealer. See the other threads in this forum.

Capt. where at NE Florida? Jax here. Actually live in Yulee now. Sounds like rumble strip. They will look it up and replace your torque converter. I've heard about this here and Tundraheadquarters.com 2007 Nautical Blue Crewmax Limited.
