I'm kind of surprised that you are promoting something like this,but then again, I probably shouldn't be.

[@GoldenHart1970]

I don't know the exact year Toyota updated that air injection pump, but they fixed this "water problem" that was very common in the 2007 and 08 models. On later models, when you shut the truck off it will do a quick "air purge" to blow the water outside of the pump so the internal valve won't rust shut or open (which is the real failure),. You can hear it when it does this, and now you rarely have to ever replace this part.

[@paulfeasal6024]

They changed the body in 2007. To look like this. Pretty close to the same all the way up to 2021. However the seats changed in like 2013 or 2014. They got ugly and so did the interior. It looks better with the redesign for 2021. However reliability is a big question mark for the new generation.

310,000 miles on my 1993 Toyota pickup that I bought new. Still running fine and burning no oil.

[@jimzivny1554]

Ive heard this a million times in my career "My buddy is a mechanic/engineer and he Really knows whats wrong!" 🤣🤣🤣 let him fix it I'd say

[@atx-cvpi_99]

This is the only major problem with these engine. Other than that they are bulletproof. Just change the oil every 5,000 miles and flush the coolant every 50,000 miles. If you neglect the coolant on these, you may blow a head gasket. The Car Care Nut just had a 200 series Land Cruiser in his shop for head gasket failures. The customer had to pay $6,000 for the repair. The head gasket failed because they didn’t flush the coolant frequently enough and the coolant ate the head gasket up. Do a coolant flush on these every 5 years or 50,000 miles whichever comes first. If you do that, you should be fine. This also applies to the GR series V6 and especially the 1.8 hybrid engines like in the Prius, Corolla Hybrid, and CT200h as well. They are also known for head gasket issues at higher mileage. Anyone who has a third gen Prius or later, CT200h, or Corolla Hybrid: do not drive if there’s no catalytic converter because the catalytic converter is cooled by the coolant. If you hear an unusual loud noise from the exhaust, turn it off asap. Catalytic converters are a target for thieves worldwide. It’s happened in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia as well. I bet there’s more countries that have this issue.

I've heard of Tundras lasting 1,000,000 miles

[@Land_Raver]

If you drive it 55 mph and do religious maintenence along a stretch of road where you are unlikely to get into an accident with the timing belt version of the V8. Then yes. You might get a million out of it.

[@bltoth1955]

It was Goblins. What’s wrong with you all? 🙄

[@sterni9983]

Maintenance. Is the key to any vehicle lasting. I had a late 80's Chevrolet small pickup truck in my shop with 426,000 miles on the clock. The only thing it needed was the plastic clutch self adjuster. Do as the wizard tells you maintenance maintenance maintenance.

[@TheKillo101]

I'm sure you've heard this before but... You really should start a group of car professionals that are as well trained as you. Start classes, get them certified "by you" across the country! I know it'll be a huge headache but for some reason? We can no longer trust the garages we take our vehicles to. Charge the crap out of them but train them well! We need more car techs besides what we see being pumped out today by what we see today, trained by certified schools. I know. An insurmountable challenge.

[@hotboiorlando]

we have a 2007 an the air pumps went bad in it we just unplugged them an has been running fine like that for the past 5 years

[@Jmdp.94]

Best gen of Tundra, we have a family member that has a 2016 in the amazing 1794 trim and it has never failed him. How Toyota went from a million mile capable Tundra to the new one that blows its engine before even reaching 10k miles still baffles me.

[@ThatManitobaGuy]

As soon as I saw the flashing warning lamps I knew it was either air injection pumps & valves or something had chewed the knock sensor harness. There is an updated part number from Toyota for the injection pump intake pipes. One of the most common failures for 07 to 09 3UR-FE Tundra's.

[@1crustyoldmsgtretired870]

The secret to Toyota reliability is you have to maintain them. As an owner of a 26 yr old T100, I can vouch for this. Surprised the other shop in town hasn't figured out how to use a scan tool yet. Air pumps aren't mandated by the government, the emissions after start up is. Manufacturers use different methods to achieve the goal - pre cats come to mind.

[@biccidb5308]

That's why in the newer models (2.5 gen) they have the pumps run for a second or two when you shut the truck off. It's to clear any liquid out of it.

[@daredevildaryl2645]

Fram filters used to have a corporate slogan, "You can pay me now, or you can pay me later". I am so delighted with my 2007 Camry taking me all over the country trouble free. But I don't drive through standing water or a hurricane.

Had the same issue with my 07 tundra with the 4.7 motor many years ago. It was covered under warranty. Dash lights were lit up like a Christmas tree and it went into limp mode. I wish I never sold that truck- best vehicle I ever owned.

[@pacae911]

But the big question is : How the water go inside the system ? 🤷‍♂️

[@jeremybennett5547]

He briefly mentioned it. Maybe they drove through a lot of water or deep water. The base of it was though that the part just isn’t located in a good spot so they get water contamination

[@dieselfixr]

I was just looking at these used with 200k+ miles. Surprisingly, you can find the early years for sale in the 10k range

[@marwanjleid5712]

The early ones found to be more reliable in the long run!

[@dieselfixr]

@marwanjleid5712 I recently bought a house and need a pickup. Don't trust the American brands. 10k is my budget, and the 2007-2008 with 150k to 200+ low 10s surprised me. The same year, Tacoma's 15k minimum

[@md2k8]

Even, slightly older Tundra's can have problems, too.

[@akiddoo8113]

Except for the 13.8 mpg average I love these old trucks!

[@jeffjankiewicz5100]

The owner definitely got his money`s worth out of that truck.

[@brucesibbitt9949]

Why did you minimize the importance of limiting exhaust emissions? Sure it is in response to government requirements but so are things like seatbelts, airbags, making pouring carcinogens into waterways illegal, etc. All are in our collective best interests even if we prefer to complain about them. Wizard, you are too smart for that!.

[@daniels2761]

In reality, the time the systems are active is so short that they're pretty much inconsequential. Less than a minute in most cases, and at low airflows. So it's just another thing that goes wrong that may push an owner to just buying a new vehicle, which is actually far worse for the environment.

[@Dr650rob]

Hopefully they've been keeping up on replacing the coolant

[@atx-cvpi_99]

And no you can’t delete the pump.

You can totally delete the system, lol

[@jamesclapp6940]

MAYBE THOSE "MECH" HAVE LOOKED AT THE RATE BOOK AND FOUND THE HIGH VALUE(most expensive) repairs and that is why the jump on them

[@miketeeveedub5779]

Most dealers don't want to service a 300K vehicle. Why? Because of the "Last Mechanic Who Fixed It, Broke It" Rule for the next subsequent repair. I don't blame them for refusing service considering the mileage, even if it's a Toyota.

This has been going on for a week owned the car for 10 years almost. Any ideas? no lights on the dash (I know this is not an official diagnosis I watched the full video, just need ideas)

[@juliuskwak1263]

2008 with segmented bumpers that likely work as a bumper should! Not just some cosmetic thing integrated into the panels and smoothed out chassis form. Why automakers went away with that, not sure... it likely has to do with trying to sell more cars because it would take more effort to replace and/or repair.

[@josephpetrus3176]

What I don’t understand is why you always can figure out what is wrong with customers cars/trucks where other shops couldn’t? How did you increased your automotive knowledge and the others didn’t?

[@jeedwards1981]

Best to bypass it . I forgot the company but they make really good kits .

Bypass is DIY only. Most shops cannot do this job because it tampers with the emissions system.

Because the owners do off roading with would extending the air intakes from the pumps up around the airbox be any help in keeping out the water?

The trick to buying a Toyota if you can't afford the one you want is just get an older one. Also avoid the timing belts for future savings.
