Any Mechanics? 2001 Tundra Brake Issues

Took her apart after work and the thermostat was stuck wide open. Got the wrong one so back to the store tomorrow and she should be good as new.

Always a good thing when they stick open and not closed.

Change your brake lines first. Not the steel one. The rubber ones. They’ll be about $25 for both back lines.


I’m not a mechanic. But, I’ve done a lot of wrenching on vehicles over the years. It never gets discussed in conversations about brakes but, the rubber lines coming from your steel ones, to the back of your caliber are the culprit of a lot of unforseen brake issues. They weaken over time and collapse. Causing flutter and sticking calipers.

If your drums aren’t bad, this is going to likely be the issue.
