Yes, another TSB ?, but a good one....

Anyone gotten their old 3pack leaf springs back to them after doing the TSB?

 

nope was told they belong to toyota

 

Nope- I don't know of much warranty work where they will give the old parts back. Corporate usually wants them to "inspect"

 

My guess is that they clean them up, repaint them, and put them on a new tacoma and send them to the dealership. Not everyone puts enough weight in their truck to have a problem.

 

Just bought a new 2011 Tacoma and my truck has your old leaf springs on the back.

 

Nope, though when I did the tailgate TSB I got my old tailgate back. Sold it for $80.

 

Got to keep the parts to show its done. Don't know if its the law or the companies. We always had "warranty rooms" in places I worked. Had to tag each one, bring it to the warranty guy. They get paid to do that stuff.. that spring is kind of the receipt.

Of course, if we had a part we removed and replaced off warranty and customer didn't want it.. We'd charge it to a different vehicle and tag it. Double your money.

 

Thanks,
Guess it can't hurt to ask..
Why not push it? maybe I saw a little crease in the tailgate while I was there....

 

My friend got his back after the TSB. So it can't hurt to ask.
