Up until this point, we have found this particular transmission to be bullet proof with very few real issues. There is a Toyota Tundra Service Bulletin which -- if misinterpreted or applied incorrectly -- would replace the transmission and transmission control modules for no good reason. It would be like replacing an engine for a bad spark plug. Applicable computer diagnostic codes are P0751, P0756, P0761, P0766, P0729, P0781.
A thorough Diagnostic is more than just scanning for codes and following poorly written bulletins. Interpretation, experience, testing and expertise keep us from making this mistake.
Toyota Tundra Customer Review
Read a review from one of our Toyota Tundra customers from the Better Business Bureau:
WOW! The staff at Tri-City is just plain awesome. I took my 2007 Tundra to (2) different dealerships who both told me the same thing "you HAVE to replace your transmission & your trans computer" and by the way it will cost about $6,000. I tried explaining that I'm no expert but I know its not the whole tranny, maybe just the computer. The dealership refused to sell me just a computer so I picked it up and took it to Tri-City. After a brief couple days the techs there diagnosed the problem as being a bad solenoid, that's it, just a bad solenoid for a few hundred bucks. Tri-city saved me over $5,000 in un-needed repairs. All due to the fact they took their time to actually diagnose the issue, not just plug in a laptop and say "well the code says new tranny & comp" they went the extra mile and have earned my transmission work for life. -Richard Harmon
