253000 mi

US $2000
Secondary air Pump improperly replace first time. The repair in 2011 was before Toyota discovered the problem of water being sucked into the secondary air pump. Toyota made the repair with original parts from 2007, not the 2011 fix that was the subject of the hidden warranty. Dealing with the Toyota folks on the telephone is the most ugly experience I've ever had. They deny deny deny and make you feel very small. However as a professor of mechanical engineering I stuck to my guns and eventually Toyota covered the second repair. I showed them the part numbers that was used in the 2011 replacement versus the part numbers for a 2016 replacement. 
85200 mi

US $500
Water pump developed a leak. I noticed no leaking fluid, and the shop was only suspicious because the reservoir level had dropped since I had been in for an oil change shortly before. Pump replaced. Common problem on Tundra w/5.7L. 
109000 mi

US $1200
The gasket for what Toyota calls the "cam tower" started leaking on the driver's side, and oil was visible on the block below it. The wasn't enough of a leak to show up on the garage floor where the vehicle is parked. User forums showed this is a common problem with the 5.7L. Diagnosed by Toyota during oil change, repaired for less by independent shop familiar with the vehicle. 
69000 mi air pumps failed, air valves failed. it was ludicrous to spend $ 4,000.00 to repair emissions equipment with failure prone badly engineered replacement parts. living with problem instead 
79000 mi Air pumps and air injection valves replaced. CEL off. Exhaust leak and noise. The repair caused a leak at the air injection tube to exhaust manifold gasket, since it took 2-weeks for the poorly aligned(or fitted) gasket to blow out the Toyota Dealership feels they have no responsibility.

This is the P2442 AIP error that is common in all Toyota trucks. There is a 10y/100k mile extension on the parts but I am past 10 years. The system is for emissions testing at startup and the truck will go into limp mode if the test fails to work properly. It is sometimes the pumps and other times it is the valves that are under the manifold. In my case, one of the valves were stuck due to corrosion in the valve part. I replaced the valves with a new one from Toyota and went ahead and replaced both the pumps as well. Dealer wanted $2500 for the repair, I did it for $500.
