Guys,
I am a new Tundra owner as of a couple weeks ago. I traded in an 06 Frontier for a 2011 Tundra, 4.6L, SR5, 4x2. Ive been searching since December of last year- passed up good deals on a 2010 5.7L, several F150's, and one other 4.6L, so I wasnt about to miss this opportunity- the price was right.
Anyway, I have been scouring these Tundra forums for maintenance tips and how-to's, but most of what I have come across pertain mostly to the 5.7L engine. My question is: Is there any major difference in procedures for common tasks like changing the serp belt, engine coolant, tranny fluid, spark plugs, brakes, etc.? I started to have tranny issues with that Frontier about 8 months before I finally traded it in, and I am not about to let that happen again.
As of now I do not have the factory service manual, but that is in the works. I am planning on taking the vehicle to Toyota just to see if I missed out on any recalls (driveshaft, TPMS, etc.) Any advice for this? Havent dealt with a stealership in a long time, but the vehicle is still under warranty- 21K miles.
