well, i dont know how serious it is. the truck shifts properly.
just seems to have a low hum/ vibration under me and i can feel it (but dont really notice it when music is on)

anything i should check for?

infiltrator

anyone? this is really scaring me.

johnsenpa

i feel the same thing sometimes,,, but i also feel it when i put my feet more towards the seat

Justinvd

Thats automatic right?

AndYota

Are your U-joints on the rear driveshaft ok and rear pinion nut tight? I replaced both of mine, and re-torqued the rear pinion nut and the vibrations are all but gone.

yep its an automatic

i dont think its from the rear driveshaft because its vibrating it feels like right under my feet under the petals.

mine shakes like that occasionally when my tires need balancing. Is it only at higher speed or at all speeds. My runner would vibrate a little all the time but ALOT btween 50 -70 then smoothed out. Balanced my tires at work and no longer have the problem. Comes back every once in a while and i just rebalance my tires.

infiltrator

its really at any speed. when i give it gas, it will rev up and i cant feel it, but as soon as it shifts i think it hasnt shifted yet and look but rpms are fine and i know it did....

infiltrator

and im noticing a little squeak when it idles maybe this is also a sign? i have no ideas. it goes eek eek eek eek (idling).


ahh i have never had any major problems with my runner till now! its showing age big time :[

needsomecam

check the exhaust system its the only thing that moves when the car is not.
...broken hangar
...broken heatshield

a little drastic which i highly doubt but ... broken motor or transmission mount

if you're feeling insecure about it get underneath it and look at everything. look to see if anything is loose/leaking, etc. it'll reassure you that everything is ok, as well as making sure you see any major issues.

chances are it could be nothing. I know sometimes I feel insecure about my truck because of the age, and the fact that I have to commute long distances to/from school, and other places. I find that just keeping a closer look at everything makes me feel more secure that everything is functioning properly.

yeah thanks i use my yota as my daily driver and have to drive quite a ways for stuff too. almost gonna hit 200,000...

im trying to get a new job (12 bucks an hour receptionist job really cake easy) and if i do that, i might as well buy a car, cuz the yota cant handle the street driving of southern california's lead foots.

but if i do that, ill never ever sell my yota shes my baby.

i will take a look underneath, i know my tranny fluid needs changed...

if i can get everything on my yota (suspension, stereo, and finally a new engine after i hit 200,000, ill just keep driving it)

personally if i had a place to keep a second vehicle i'd just go out and buy a late 90's corolla. they're cheap, get awesome gas mileage, safe, and reliable.
