BrakesDiscussions about the brake system in your vehicle and brake products.
This is a discussion thread titled "Tundra Brake TSB", within the Brakes forum, part of the Technical & Vehicle Assistance Forums category.
Sounds all too familiar. Isn't it nice that you have to spend so much time on a new truck and the "fix"? Get ready for numerous trips to the dealer. I'm willing to bet that, like mine, it has to do with one of your rear axles and the drums-axle alignment. BTW, after they replaced my axle, it braked fine. HOWEVER, I then started getiing a driveline vibration when stopping. They tried to shim it twice to no avail. It was then that I said uncle and traded it in. I hope that doesn't happen to you.
I was having the same problems stated in the previous posts too. I installed a LSD earlier this year which requires loosening the brake lines so you can slide the axles out of the way. When I did this, I found no brake fluid at the T junction above the differential. None, dry, no seeping or leakage. After I finished with the LSD, I reinstalled the lines and completely bled the system with new Toyota brake fluid and voila, no more vibration.
Try something simple and bleed your rear brakes now that the system has had time to settle.
Has anyone who's had the brake TSB done, experenced any shudder while braking. I don't feel it through the peddle but kind of a shimmy when braking.
I had the TSB done 10 dyas ago, could it be just the brakes seating (sp?)?
Hey just wanted let averyone know,it's covered by toyota if you have less then 36,000 miles. Took mine in last week ,they replaced the calipers ,back plate,bearings.
Now it drive's like it did ,When I bought it. Steve

not really toyota has been providing help to a few if your the original owner of the tundra beyond the 3 year 36k...toyota is very aware of the problem however its cheaper to kept the owner's happy instead of a full overall recall....

Hi everyone. I have a 2002 Tundra and had both front and back TSB's done replacing all the components. Not 100 miles later I had a worse than before vibration. The dealer said that they turned the old rotors. I thought that new bigger rotors was apard of the mod of the TSB. Is this true, does the TSB replace the rotors with bigger ones or use the same rotors?

No problems here, and mine is a 2000 with 60k on it. Going strong.I take care of my truck like everybody else does
I too have a 00 with few issues. I will be passing 100,000 miles soon. An 02 sensor and a computer chip is all that's needed to be replaced. Don't forget your timing belts btw!
I've read so much about the Brake TSB's on this board, I'm almost scared to stop in my truck now!!! Luckily, the pedal on the right is much more fun anyways & my 03' (5k miles) stops as smooth as a hot knife through butter.
However........most people know that by towing or hauling heavy items you add more stress to the brakes while stopping. But, not as many people realize it also adds stress to the breaks when you put larger sized rims on the vehicle. I see so many people putting on large rims onto SUV's and was curious if the larger rim issue was applicable to those people here who have had brake issues. Also, those who have had break issues, do you tow or haul heavy items????
Not implying a truck w/ a 7k+ towing capacity should loose brakes from towing within the factory guidelines or adding slightly larger rims is acceptable, just curious if there are any extra unidentified circumstances that causes premature brake falure.
Your truck should already have the upgraded brakes that were installed under the TSB. As for larger wheels and towing you are right about extra work for the brakes. I had the brake TSBs done and even after that my brakes have actually felt better with upgraded wheels, mind you they are still only 16x8 with 265/75 tires, changed from steel wheels and 245/70 tires. Wouldn't let it worry you too much from what you read.
As for premature brake failure, consistent hard braking or riding the brakes will do you in sooner for sure.

Completely stock and I don't haul a thing, except my mountain bikes, and I've had trouble with my brakes from the start.
