I can buy the air pump all day long for under $100 used.

Post the OBD code.

Bob, I fixed the truck a long time ago, (when this thread started), so I don’t remember the code but it’s a common one for the secondary air injection. I got the pump new from a shop that I’m friendly with, I think it was a factory part. Not too expensive.

Used, you can get a whole axle assembly for $1200 all day long.

I was using the price I got from out Tundra groups "friend " at Toyota. The big issue is, unlike the dif in my Suburban, you can't rebuild these, only have Toyota order a new v one. Crazy, it was less to replace the front diff in my cayenne. I have been looking to see if replacing the entire rear end with a disc brake unit is an option, but so far nothing, plus we just 0u5 new brakes on all 4 corners.

418 is the code number, one of the early contributions to this thread offered a link to bypass that, as it is a very common problem, including with mine.

I don't know who is telling you this. Of course they are rebuildable. People do it every day.

I was thinking the same. You could even change the gear ratio too. If it's 4x4, gear the rear the same as the front. He is not rebuilding, but this might help.

I found a YouTube where a guy was selling a module that plugs into the connections for the air injection system. It emulates the required signals and you can drive as normal without errors even with a faulty air injection system.
