Spec:

Engine Brake (hp) From
381
Engine Configuration
V-Shaped
Engine Model
3UR-FE
Engine Number of Cylinders
8

Problems:

Oil leaks
Common in V-shaped engines due to the complexity of the engine design, leading to potential gasket failures or seal issues.
Timing chain issues
The 3UR-FE engine has been known to experience timing chain stretch or failure, which can cause engine misfires or complete engine failure.
Fuel injector problems
The Tundra's V8 engine may experience clogged or failing fuel injectors, which can lead to poor fuel economy and engine performance issues.
Spark plug wear
With eight cylinders, spark plug wear can be more frequent, leading to misfires and rough idling if not maintained properly.
Cooling system failures
The engine may overheat due to failing water pumps or radiator issues, which are common in high horsepower engines.
Exhaust manifold cracks
V-shaped engines can develop cracks in the exhaust manifold, leading to exhaust leaks and decreased engine performance.
Carbon buildup
Direct injection engines like the 3UR-FE can suffer from carbon buildup on intake valves, leading to reduced performance and efficiency.
Throttle body issues
Potential for throttle body failures or throttle position sensor issues, affecting acceleration and engine response.
Transmission problems
Though not directly an engine issue, the high power output can put strain on the transmission, leading to potential failures or shifting issues.
Air/fuel mixture imbalance
Sensors related to air and fuel mixture may fail, causing imbalances that lead to poor engine performance and increased emissions.
