Description of the problem	Purchases 2008 toyota tundra sr5 4x4 5. 7 v8 4/30. On 5/1 began hearing loud bang as car changed gears from 2nd to 3rd. The bang noise was often so loud it sounded like i have ran over something metal in the road. Happened most times i entered car and it changed from 2nd to 3rd. Took to dealer to address and they were unable to duplicate. Actually, the service advisor was able to duplicate, but that was not sufficient for the dealer to address the problem as the advisor is not qualified access an issue. Yet, each time i drove the car it happened. Finally after several days i was able to duplicate the problem with the service manager in the car. The bang was loud, and the manager did not know what it was. After several more days they were unable to locate a problem. Many diagnostic tests were performed on the truck yet there were no "codes" showing. I was not satisfied with that answer and went to the dealership owner. After a few days we were able to duplicate the problem with him in the car. Then we had the service director in car and duplicate the issue. I had no less than 4 employees of the dealer duplicate the issue. Finally, after 25 days in the shop, it was determined to be the abs system. Apparently when the tundras start up they will do a abs self test somewhere between 10-20 mph. Mine was apparently overtesting. A part was replaced in my car, around a $3000 part, and away i went. It seems to be less of a bang noise, but it is still there. To show that it was "normal," the service director and i took ride in a new tundra off of the lot. It made the same noise. I would have never bought a truck that i knew made a noise like that, never. But it appears they all do. Why di it take the dealer 25 days to figure this out? Do the 2008 tundras have an abs problem?
