TSB 0285-10 is out there for this issue. Does anyone know if I can have this tsb done for free on a 2010 w/ 54K miles. I bought the truck used and have been having issues with the way the truck down shifts, especially when towing my boat or when using cruise control.

I did buy as a certified pre-owned with a 100K miles powertrain warranty and I wasn't sure if this tsb was only done on in warranty trucks.

I'm starting this thread because i saw a fellow tundra owners truck, and it was beautiful. The person in question is ChaseIntegra. He has an amazing looking truck and i think it deserves to be nominated for ROM.

If anyone else has a ROM nominee PM me so i see the message and I'll add your name to the poll and ill leave the 3 pics up to you

I've had the code on and off for the last few months. Mine is a 2002 6 cyl Tundra SR5 extracab 5 speed.
I had autozone put the scanner on it and it says H02S (heated oxygen sensor) Bank 1.

Where is this located and i it easy to replace?

My truck has 211000 miles and the sensors have never been replaced.

Anyone know the part number I should order?

I'm sure I can change it myself if I have the parts and instructions.

Thanks for your help!

Toyota is looking to finish development of a hybrid version of its Tundra full-size pickup next year, with plans to bring it to market shortly thereafter. The project is in cooperation with Ford, and is the plan would likely see the American automaker roll out a hybrid F-150 shortly thereafter.

Next year will also see the launch of the Prius plug-in hybrid and Prius c sub-compact as the Japanese automaker says it could double its hybrid sales in North America to 400,000 by 2015. Globally Toyota hopes to bring hybrid sales to 1.2 million that year, up from 690,000 last year. To reach that goal, the Japanese auto giant will look to continue to expand its offerings, with more hybrid versions of conventional models.

According to R&D boss Takeshi Uchiyamada, hybrids are a growth strategy for Toyota. He admits that the company has lagged behind in new transmissions and hybrid technology, with Toyota betting instead on a longer-term payoff of hybrids as a mainstream alternative.

To continue this growth strategy Toyota is being forced to deal with the rising yen and will, as a result, begin moving production of hybrid vehicles and their components out of Japan. Currently only the Camry Hybrid is built in North America, although the hybrid components continue to be manufactured in Japan.
