hi, new member here, I am a grandmother that got a 2006 tundra from my son.

hi, I would like to know why my tundra will not shift out of park. I also need to replace the brake lines and wanted to know if they have a 1pc line.

 

Welcome aboard! The truck may not shift out of park for a few reasons. Neutral safety switch being one, frozen linkage system being another. If you step on the brake firmly, do you hear or feel a soft click in the shifter?
The brake lines are not one piece. There are hard line sections and soft line sections. Would have to figure out which one needs replacing.

 

Truck should be running and the brake must be applied to come out of park. The brake lines are one piece from the caliper to the main line. Then you have the hard lines that are manufactured and bent certain ways. But the flexible lines from the calipers are usually in the 8 to 14 inch long range.

you can turn the key to the full on position and step on the brake and it should come out of park that way also I do believe. If not does not come out of park you have other problems, might be an easy fix might not??

^^^^ what was said up above^^^

 

Blown/non-functioning tail light is another members have reported for 1st gens.

 

Welcome to the forum.

Be sure to pull the shifter towards you to move the lever..

 

And @allieb you may want to read this thread also: https://www.tundras.com/threads/so-you-wanna-buy-just-bought-a-1st-gen-tundra-eh.115928/

It'll tell you what to expect, and, if your brake lines are shot, there's a good chance the frame is toast on that truck, and may not be safe to drive.

 

Congratulations on your new gift. I would recommend getting your son to take a look at it himself if it’s not a simple fix. He’s probably familiar with the issue.

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Funny thing I haven't had my 2005 since 2014 and I still sometimes reach for that column shifter..

 

Welcome from NY.

 

I do something similar in the 4Runner; reaching for the shifter and jamming my left foot into the firewall looking for a nonexistent clutch pedal from my single cab taco days

 

People who grew up driving a standard (i.e. 3 on the tree) typically didn’t know you had to depress the brake to shift out of park on an automatic.

Much before my time.
