thud or am i hearing things?

[White Puff]

I think this topic has been discussed elsewhere but I am hearing a thud when I take off from a stop and before I come to a stop. Anyone have or had this problem?

It's most likely your driveshaft carrier bearing. There's a bearing in the center that holds the center of the driveshaft in place. Try removing the bolts and adding a few washers between the bracket and the truck so that it drops the bracket down a little. Did it solve the problem? If so, then you can either leave it like that or you can buy a fabbed bracket that will be a lot safer to use.

This guy builds a lot of stuff for Tacos but is now doing Tundra stuff as well. Do a search there for "carrier bearing bracket" and it along with the price will show. He builds each one to order so if you want it dropped a little more for a lift, let him know and he will build it to the drop you want. I also attached a picture of one installed.

You would think a new truck shouldn't be having these problems. I'll probably go the with the washer route and see if it fixes the problem any. I don't like the idea of having to drop money for something that should be fixed by the dealership.

I'd be interested to hear the update once you do some work, WP. And I agree it's a bit sh*tty to have to do it in the first place.

You can take it to the dealer a half dozen times and they'll tell you they can not reproduce the problem.
