well darn! I just became aware of this forum and didn't know TSBs even existed! 43,000 miles on my Totally Awesome Toyota and I REALLY need the suspension upgrade, especially with all the stuff DH loads on our car hauler and expects TAT to pull! Any idea how much $$$ to have it done?

I paid $1,000 for a 100k warranty bc I knew I would keep it for a long time. Though I recently towed my 700# bike from NC to Miami, FL and the rear did sit a bit low. But now that I know about the TSB, I will have that worked on asap. Thanks to all for your good work.

The TSB is only an add a leaf but Toyota paid the bill. Do a search of AAL and you'll get some ideas of $$. Good luck

Any 08 TSB's anyone know of as yet?

have a problem with my brake lights staying on. the only thing i can do until i have time for the dealer is wedge a piece of wood under the switch and it works fine for now.

Guess what? Your extended warranty probably doesn't cover TSBs.
36 months or 36K is written on the TSB with no mention of extended warranty.
I extended my warranty for 1 year and found out it doesn't cover TSBs.

That's just an adjustment of the brake light switch.

sounds good to me, just seems like the switch has a lot of play in it as if it's ready to fall apart. how would you adjust the switch?

[Al Swearengen]

anyone heard of the radio changing from FM1 to FM2 whenever you restart the vehicle?

[Angus_NB]

Al; start new threads for new subjects. You're more likely to get an answer.

I have owned 2 Tacomas both had comfort springs (3 leaves) both sagged
I owned a 2001 dodge 2500 diesel between the 2 of them the dodge was a true truck (work horse) but with the cost of diesel over $4 I had to let it go.
The Tacomas have been without a doubt the best trucks I have ever owned in my 40 years of driving cars and trucks its that neither seem to handle the advertised 1/2 ton load without looking like they are overloaded.
I never heard of a TSB until I visited this site. So I took my 2008 to the dealer for the "fix" but was told no fix has been offered for 2008 only 2005 through 2007, grr, so I will at my expense and disdain for false advertising have to put an extra leaf, stronger shocks, and possibly air bags between the leaf springs like I did with my 96 taco
The only other Japanese truck I have owned was a Nissan 4X4 it was without a doubt the worst riding kidney busting truck i have ever owned. I never put a load in it because I wasn't in the same business as I am today. I sold it after one 4 hour trip to the snow and will probably never buy another Nissan again .

80%?? I have the tow package and it came with the 3-leaf pack. are all 3-leaf packs the "comfort" version?

yeah....basically. the tsb version springs have 4 springs.....3 leafs and an over load spring.

[Angus_NB]

Canadian Tacomas have had 4 leaf springs since 2008. US trucks still have 3. As far as I know it's 100% not 80%.

You can either test it out or try going after it immediately. I haven't hauled anything yet, but I got mine done. Follow the 'Dealers who performed the Suspension TSB' sticky to find out more. You can pretty much skim most of it.
