Frame rust recall

Got the call that my truck is done and ready to be picked up this afternoon. That was a FAST turn around. I dropped it off monday after work and they didn't start on it until Tuesday morning. I will be going over it with a fine toothed comb. but yeah, that was fast.

 

Got my truck back and I am very happy with the results. LOTS of new parts, and new leaf springs. My old ones were 2 leaf with an overload, and the new ones are 3 leaf with an overload. I'll post some pics tomorrow. It's like driving a brand new truck. Everything feels tight, and nice. Ride is very nice now too

 

Glad that your s is done TacomaPrime!
Also tlhat they did a great job.
My frame is still back order.
It has been more then 5 months waiting.
It was suppose to be in last December,but again it did nt come in.
Maybe this week.
I will be schecdule probably now end of Feb,or beginning of March.
At least it will be done.
Regards

Thanks man. Yeah, mine was a 4 or 5 month wait too. It sucked but when it's all said and done it will be nice for you too!

 

So that waiting time is pretty much for all!
Well that is great then, i am less worried!!!
I can t wait till they do it.
Thanks for the reply TacomaPrime
All the best from Ontario,Canada

Dropped my truck off in November 2014. My truck looks to be about 16 in line to get the frame replaced. My rentals from Enterprise have been a Ford F-250, Chevrolet Silverado and a Dodge Ram. I am guessing about another 3 or 4 months before my truck is done.

 

wfbont007 - You have been lucky. All I've gotten is a 2015 Camry. Nice car, but I really miss my Tacoma. The estimate on completion of my truck is March or April.

 

Dealer tried to give me a Camry. I explained that I am a homeowner and I bought a truck for a reason. They called Enterprise Rentals and got me a truck. Enterprise gives me a different truck every 30 days.

 

Woke up this afternoon to my phone blowing up with face book notifications, friend of a friend spotted my truck while doing some installs at the dealer ship and tagged me in the following photos:





He was told to let me know the truck would be done by 9pm today (around 5pm they were putting the engine block onto the new frame, he had pictures of it forgot to send them) Then they would have to detail it and test drive it. So hopefully I'll be back in my truck soon.

Heads up to any one in PA, Team Toyota finally got their frame shipment

 

That's what it looks like... I've saved these photos, going to take a good look at the truck. Any damage will be reported.

 

My frame finally artived Monday.
So five months about later,it will be done mid February.
They have to do another one before mind,it is a Tundra.
So i can t beleive that finally it will be done soon.
It was a long waiting time,but at least they are taking care of it.

I ll keep you posted.

Over here,they put the bed on old tirers so it is not on concret..

 

Two new frames waiting outside Glens Falls Toyota on Saturday, January 31, 2015.

I was bored when my wife was getting the free oil change done on her RAV IV so I took a walk around the lot.

 

There was a big pile of scrapped frames there too...

 

Dropped mine off Friday the 6th. Was given a Prius as a loaner. great gas mileage. If the price of gas keeps going up, im hoping to keep it for 6 months. LOL

I don't know if Im hoping for a new frame or not.

 

Got the rest of the pictures, sure enough the bed remained on the floor the entire time. Im not to sure how to go about adressing the issue tomorrow.

But here's a few more pictures, starting with the hole in the frame. Kinda shocked how bad it actually was.





Oh hey.. that's my wheel.. sitting on the outter face of the wheel.. fan-^*&#ing-tastic


Whose got a go-pro I can use, some one requested I wear on next time I blow up at the dealership

 

My trucks waiting for its frame. After I installed my lift, I replaced the needle bearing in the front diff with the ECGS bushing due to bad vibes. Will they be removing the cv axles from the differential during the frame swap?

 

the first thing i did when i found my Tacoma was crawl under the truck.
the dealer was looking at me like i was crazy lol.
but i went from end to end on my back.
i was really happy to see the frame was rust free!!!!

 

Tinytech626 - What dealership did u deal with? Thompson toyota in Doylestown? I am waiting to hear back from them...

 

what is the best method to treat a frame that shows extensive surface rust? not just a little but not frame rot. I don't want to end up with a POS, especially since I really like this truck
