    Man I'd be pissed if they left a truck I didn't want in my driveway...That's just idiotic.

    Hi there...well I have the answers to all your problems lol <<<always wanted to say that.

    Anyways, as you can see I have an 05 with 42K on the odometer. I also have the extended warranty (platinum) and I had my leaf springs done 2 months under warranty.

    I had to take mine in and have the dealer tell me they couldn't do it, then I called Toyota Extended care and said this to them "my truck is hitting the bump stops when I drive over a speed bump at normal speeds with passengers in the cab," I also said I know this because all the dust was moved when off the stops when I looked at them. I told them I didn't feel safe putting a load in the back of the truck and driving. The extended care guy told me this was a mechanical failure of the leaf springs would be covered under the warranty. After I called the dealer again and told them, they ordered the parts and I said I'll need a loaner. The cost of a loaner is covered under the warranty work for 1 day. So don't let them tell you otherwise.

    Check out my post in this thread for better details or PM me.

    Remember that was

    Sounds like "blackwatertaco" needs to talk to "Lexus Truck"

    Oh and Don't forget it was Champion Toyota Gulf Freeway 11711 Gulf Freeway Houston, TX 77034 that denied the claim

    I took the tsb papers and told them about my ride was really bad and with a load it is worse. Told them checked the old/bad part #s. Right now with all this pedal BS goin on who knows what the dealers will be like now.

    I'm sorry to say that I agree. I had an '89, 97 and now a 08. The '97 was the best by far. I do like the 08's engine but the body integrety is really bad.
    I had the spring TSB done and I must say the dealer was great. I did everything by e-mail and never saw the dealer until I brought it in for the install.

    Benca1's dealership just says "yes sir, do you need anything else?" I could not have been happier. Oh, and all the service guys were complimenting me on my truck too.
