    Engine starting issue

    Update.... So, the starting issues was related to the ECU sensing a higher alcohol content in the fuel, (I have an E85 ECU), and throwing in more gas. Hence the rough start, due to flooding, and the fuel getting blown out the tail pipe. Rebooting of the ECU fixed the problem. The tech indicated...

    Engine starting issue

    Hi Flank, thanks for the info. In my case, a late-2013 build and 120,000 miles. I talked with my shop. They duplicated the problem and a reset of the ECU was the fix. I'll get some more info when I pick it up later today. Thanks again.

    Engine starting issue

    Ok, a couple of things going on...I noticed a small oil drip, which needs addressed and secondly, and I'm not sure if related, the engine cranks and doesn't immediately start, and when it does start, it sounds as if not running on all 8 cylinders for a few secs. This is accompanied by some white...

    Unanswered Rear hatch locking failure

    This on a 2013 Platinum. Close the rear hatch, and it latches and immediately unlatches, as if you had pressed the rear hatch button, but it hasn't been pressed. This if closing manually or by either button. What is the fix? Is there an electronic reset of the logic, or is this a failure of a...

    Roof rack/rails weight capacity

    I've got about 500 board-feet of decking I need to haul. I have the bed-extender to go into the receiver, and it's hight adjustable. Boards 17-20 feet. Total weight approx 3k. Wasn't planning on the OEM cross bars, but attaching a few 2 x 6's across the rails, so the rails would carry the load...

    Side mirror tilt

    Both my mirrors tilt normally when placed in reverse. Only the passenger side returns to normal position when shifted to drive. I have to manually tilt the driver side back into position using the button. What's the best way to correct? Thanks. 2013 platinum.

    Rear tail gate operation

    Hey folks, my rear gate operates normally on the motor, open and close, using the button on the dash. And closes normally using the button at the rear. When pressing the external button on the gate handle, the rear deck unlatches (I can hear it), but does not open automatically. Is this normal...

    2018 Platinum - middle row console

    Hi Den, the short answer is Yes, you can change out to a middle-row bench. Here is some good info including a parts list: https://www.tundrasolutions.com/threads/8-passenger-platinum-robbyvaughn-pdmted-dna-dan.130644/ With that said, I'm assuming you're addressing the two switches that control...

    Tire recommendations

    Hey gang, I have a '13 Platinum, with the OEM 20 inch wheels. It's time for tires. Based in the north east, so some snow. Trailer a boat during summer with plenty of road trips. I had Michelin Defenders on a previous vehicle, and they seemed like a good tire, so was thinking the same. Any other...

    Apple CarPlay head units

    Anyone replace their display with an Apple Car Play unit? How much functionality, if any, did you loose by replacing the OEM unit? Thanks, Ultra 2013 Sequoia Platinum.

    Forward center console plug door...

    So, here is the aft portion of the forward console...has anyone successfully removed the AC plug door to allow the proper fit of the USB charger? I could likely grind down the housing to make it fit, but that's less than ideal. I can't tell if the pin is press-fit or not. Interesting they put a...

    Navigation update DVD

    Hey folks, my just-acquired 2013 Sequoia Platinum has never had a Nav update since delivery. DVD is 2 bills from Toyota. I see plenty of DVD's online, however, but haven't run across one specific for 2013. There appears to be a change-over after 2012 from the DVD's I'm seeing on eBay and such...

    Third row side panels

    Anyone have a DIY to smooth out the gouges on these side panels? I can't believe they're inexpensive from the dealer. And not likely I'll find that interior in a junkyard...
