well they wouldnt help me one bit, so i asked toyota how many 05s did they really expect to still be under warranty being as the tsb came out in 07. they answered with a bullshit salesman type lie, they said most of them should be , being as the way they calculate how many miles per year the average driver should put on a car.
so i bought to add a leaves(one short one from skyjacker and one long one from wheelersoffroad) and have rear skyjacker hydro shocks which are designed for up to about 3" of lift i think. and it rides like a dream now.

good to hear you took the initiative and took care of it yourself. some stealerships just plain aint helpful...............and a handful of them are. its always hit or miss from what i have seen.

I looked at my leaf springs and on the Rh side I have 48220-04190 G and the other side is RL 48210-04570 G Both have only 3 leafs... Bummer. I just picked up this truck.

My dealer said it is now for all 05-08s (in warranty). I'm taking my 08 in tomorrow.

Hey khfactor, I'm going to try to get the tsb done and Faulkner is also my dealership. I am going to call the 800 number and set it up now that the Holidays are over. Thanks for the info.

I am purchasing the Tuff Country 3" lift to put on my '08 tacoma. Does anyone know if the TC AAL's will fit the TSB 4 leaf pack??? I am worried that with the TSB upgrade the AAl's supplied by Tuff Country won't fit. Does anyone have this as their current set up??

Before you call the 800 number, make sure to get a copy of the TSB printed out that spells out what vehicles & components are included in the TSB. By your signature, I see your Taco is 2007 4-cyl and I do not know if this is covered. Better to get the full TSB ( the TSB can be found in the sticky section of the POSTs) and be prepared to provide the necessary answers when the Toyota 800 operator asks for detail.

Joann was my POC at Faulker in Trevose, PA. I also got the TAILGATE TSB done via Joann. She just punched up on her computer for the Tailgate and ordered me a newer, allegedly a beefed up Tailgate (I do not see the difference, BTW) for my Taco. They painted the TAILGATE to my truck color (included as part of the TSB, of course).

I wrote a letter to her manager about her customer care service and she was ecstatic when I picked up my truck......

Good luck, and come back to post your experience at Faulkner....

Just got back from my dealer. Handed the service guy the TSB report and the ass didn't even bother to look at it since i got it off the internet.

Set up an appt to get it checked out on Wednesday morning, if they don't do it I'm gonna call the customer service number and talk to them about it.

Kicker_Of_Elves · 01-07-2009, 08:19 AM

They're gonna do mine! They're gonna give me a call when the parts come in, should be 3-5 days.

So I just dropped mine off to get the TSB installed but I have a question. On the paperwork it says that they replace the front and rear shocks also. so 1st question is this true. and if so then why did the guy tell me they were only doing the rear. If they only do the back should I take it in and have them do the front also?
