    Default Does your Titan feel it's age?

    My 05, with 100k on the clock, is sure feeling it's age. When it's cold outside, I get random squeaks that come and go. The handling seems less sporty and the seat bolsters aren't supportive like they used to be. Add to the mix little dings and scratches.

    It makes me want to trade it in for a newer truck. I found a slate gray Tundra SR5 RCSB 5.7 with 25k miles for $18k. On the other hand, the Titan still runs good and best of all, it's paid for. That makes all the little faults easy to over look. lol

    Mine does have all those little nicks and dings, but driveable wise feels good. Well, except for my TC or Tranny issue, but thts not my trucks fault LOL, thats my fault for hitting the track so much. My truck still feels young, but is looking a bit older with some faded trim and knicks and scrapes

    Mine also has mood swings. Some days, it feels really strong. Other days, it feels weak. I still think the cracked manifolds have something to do with it.

    squeaks are inevitable but get some bilstein shock replacements to get those god-awfully HORRIBLE oem shocks out of their and the ride will be firmer and much more improved from how it is driving now. it'll even feel new! have your truck claybarred and then polished and waxed and the finish will return to a beautiful shine. performance wise for increased feel in power perhaps getting some hi-flow cats and a custom exhaust could help. i'm sure the performance enthusiasts could offer some suggestions.

    I've had all sorts of goodies, from UpRev to PGM to DT headers. Seems like every time I buy a mod, I wind up selling it for one reason or another.

    I would say that I've got a gem. Does it feel it's age--shoot no, I love it more today than the day I bought it. I do however need to look into some new shocks/struts, still got the factory one's, lol. 54k on it now, BTW

    If your considering shocks, then I say do some Bilstein's like dh said. I forgot about those. i have to say that is a big reason my truck still feels good. I have Bilstein 5100's in the rear and Hellwig helper springs. My healper springs had come loose, causing all inds of pops and cracks. Now that i tightened them up, they along with the 5100's make my truck feel unbelieveable. It take bumps like a caddy and handles like an x-runner (not really, but you get the point)....100% worth-it upgrade
