I don't know the exact year Toyota updated that air injection pump, but they fixed this "water problem" that was very common in the 2007 and 08 models. On later models, when you shut the truck off it will do a quick "air purge" to blow the water outside of the pump so the internal valve won't rust shut or open (which is the real failure),. You can hear it when it does this, and now you rarely have to ever replace this part.

Had a Ford dealer replace the plugs and wires on my 2008 Ranger. Ran for a while, but the check engine light came on. Misfire on cylinder 3. Your video on the Ranger said to change the coil when doing plugs and wires. You were right. There were two cracks on the coil. A new Motorcraft coil and the misfire is gone. Should have just done the whole thing myself.

I have a 2012 Tundra with the 5.7 I force motor. It's the best gas-powered truck I've owned. Mine just turned 100k miles on it. I don't drive it daily so its in excellent condition. They are an excellent truck and if you are looking for a good used truck, they are a good choice.
@Brians75
Had the same issue with my 07 tundra with the 4.7 motor many years ago. It was covered under warranty. Dash lights were lit up like a Christmas tree and it went into limp mode. I wish I never sold that truck- best vehicle I ever owned.

310,000 miles on my 1993 Toyota pickup that I bought new. Still running fine and burning no oil.

Fram filters used to have a corporate slogan, "You can pay me now, or you can pay me later". I am so delighted with my 2007 Camry taking me all over the country trouble free. But I don't drive through standing water or a hurricane.

I have an 08 Titan with 200k miles and it’s been the most reliable truck I’ve ever owned . Never had air injection issues 😂

Best gen of Tundra, we have a family member that has a 2016 in the amazing 1794 trim and it has never failed him. How Toyota went from a million mile capable Tundra to the new one that blows its engine before even reaching 10k miles still baffles me.
@Paul_Wetor
Apparently many pickup trucks that drive through high water appear to do it successfully, but pay the price later on.

I'm reminded of a guy who ran a little hole-in-the-wall computer store back in the '80s. Anytime anybody brought a machine in for repair he would look at it, shake his head, and say "I see your problem, it's the ROM". One time somebody brought in a machine that was about a half inch thick (it wasn't a laptop) with a tire-mark across it. "I see your problem, it's the ROM".

I have a 08 Sequoia 5.7L with 372,000 mi. They are absolute TANKS.

The secret to Toyota reliability is you have to maintain them. As an owner of a 26 yr old T100, I can vouch for this. Surprised the other shop in town hasn't figured out how to use a scan tool yet. Air pumps aren't mandated by the government, the emissions after start up is. Manufacturers use different methods to achieve the goal - pre cats come to mind.

@Vincent-ke5zn
I love this beautiful Tundra, this is when they made them right before Toyota put the twin turbo in them
@jimzivny1554
Ive heard this a million times in my career "My buddy is a mechanic/engineer and he Really knows whats wrong!" 🤣🤣🤣 let him fix it I'd say
@RobertSmith-js2kz
Went through this on my buddy's 4runner. No water in it though, Everything was up under the intake manifold. The pump itself just failed. Did not disintegrate and puke plastic impeller chunks everywhere (which is also known to happen). We did it all while we were in there, two diverter valves right up against the firewall, under a big 'ol wiring harness AND a coolant crossover. Lots of fun. Not gonna lie, went with an el-cheapo aftermarket air pump ... working just fine for 4 years now. 5 minutes of searching online and I had that problem diagnosed. Actually puts it into limp-mode so you have no choice but to deal with it.

I have a Lexus and a Toyota, partially because of you, Car Wizard! It's tough for me to leave the American manufacturers but they left me first.
