Question 2008 Tacoma [Archive] - Toyota Tundra Forums : Tundra Solutions Forum

I have an 08' Tacoma and I'm having issues with the brakes. I realize that the truck only has disk brakes in the front, and drums in the rear. I am wondering if anyone else feels the truck lurch forward during the stop, and if so has any knowledge of how to correct the problem. I also have a lifted Wrangler with 32" of rubber, and it stops much better than the Tacoma, which is saying alot for a Jeep with a 2 1/2" lift. I was told that by disconnecting the battery cables for a period of time it will reset the computer so that the truck downshifts when stopping, but I don't know how accurate this is. If anyone could give me some feedback it would be great. Thanks. Ryan.
