What to do before i blow my warranty?

Hey guys im 700 miles shy of my warranty being up. I just want suggestions on what i should do before its gone. Its an 08 and i havent had much to complain except last year my starter was sticking but of course it wouldnt do it for them. It stopped doing it now but I just wanna get some opinions if i should take it in before everything is out of my pocket!

 

Read all the TSB's and see which ones apply and determine if you need any of them.

 

Ive looked for them but cant find em I only use my phone for the internet so its difficult to find em. the only one i know about does count since it only applied to the 36,000 warranty

 

Ouch! Did you have warranty try and cover it.. I wouldve been heated! But thanks for the advice ill deifently have to check them.

 

Wow what a load of shit! When my starter was sticking i asked them what happens when it goes out and its out of warranty. They told me since i was in every week trying for them to hear it warranty will cover it and i made sure they noted it! I havent herd anything grinding in my front end yet! I dont have any of the TSB problems either..

 

Damn id think theyd be more than that.. No big deal then lol it wouldnt be a problem replacing them my dad owns a trucking company id just make the mechanic do it! Thanks! I want to do a long travel kit but i keep spending my money haha! 120,000 miles im gettin there!

 

Does anyone know where the best place to buy an extended warranty is? The dealer tried to sell me one but it was an outrageous price! And everytime I got up to leave, the manager would lower the price. I don't like getting jerked around like that.

 

My extended warranty was only 800 bucks. This included life insurance and gap insurance, warranted to 75,000 miles through Wilsonville Toyota. The trip up here wouldn't be worth your drive though

 

True. But you definitely got a great deal!!! I guess I could call my dealership again. I wasn't nice to the manager when I left though... haha!

 

Troy Dietrich Greenfield Toyota Greenfield Ma sold me mine & many others, his prices are rock bottom. I think I paid $935 & got $75 back in customer cash which I used for parts. Already have used it. Its the Platinum 7/100/0 google him or search here.
There is also a couple more....there is a guy Mike here from Handy Toyota also another dealer in the midwest, its on TN and here too. Maybe someone else will chime in.

OT, that is quite the list, good luck w/ it.

 

Has anybody had a major warranty job done? I havent had anything except my starter problem go wrong but somehow it fixed itself..... For now!

 

I had my 4wd acuator go
Radiator failed & some other thing
Did 5 of the TSBs.
Some people's trucks have been trouble free....
Honestly was the first toyota truck I bought one for. I waited until the last 1000 miles to buy the extended only because of earlier trouble. Most will say they are a waste of money & tend to agree but it has paid for itself for the most part for me. Plus I figured if I sold the truck pp before 100k it can get transferred to the next buyer.

 

I wouldn't do anything to try to break anything. My luck if I tried, I would end up with something broke after the warranty is gone.

 

Get the tailgate tsb done.

 

Tailgate tsb? Ive never had an issue with my tailgate

 

Until you're out of warranty and you bend it.

 

Well ive never herd of a tailgate tsb for an 08.. And TSBs only go to 36,000 warrranty

 

Major work done under my extended warranty:

Front Wheel Bearings
Rack and Pinion Replaced
Front Main Seal Replaced
Front Differential Replaced
Front Differential Output Seals Replaced
Starter Replaced
Upper Ball Joint Replaced (Toyota replaced the entire UCA)

 

Whyd you need your front diff replaced? Luckily i dont have one

 

.

12 more months on mine too ... but I don't think that I will hit 36,000 in 3 years.
