Houston BS Thread

I may have made missed an earlier post. What's this about?

 

Well mine doesnt engage into 4x4, kinda my fault. But most people have said the actuator malfunctions

 

what's the TSB do? they actually redesign the part, or are they just putting in a new one of the old design?

 

It not being sealed, leads to corrosion in the terminals I guess

 

so they're getting you a new one......are they going to seal this one, or just toss it on and call it a day until it goes out again?

 

TSB #?

 

My guess would be the second option...

 

if that's the case, dennis, as soon as they put it on, go home, take iot off, and seal it upo yourself. lil bit of silicone goes a long way in regards to longevity.

 

Do the 2013s have that issue as well. Just another thing to add into the list i guess.

 

wouldnt doubt it

 

Uea im sure its just the same fucking part. Most people say its not sealed thats why

 

Give me a second. My cousin looking it up

 

i don't think it's a year speciffic issue, but just luck of the draw. i've had mine fully submerged a good number of times, and (knock on wood), it's still working like a champ.

 

Mr mike found this link, sure mist people has the same problem

T-SB-0066-12

Some 2003 – 2012 model year 4Runner, 2007 – 2012 model year FJ Cruiser, and 2005 – 2012 model year Tacoma vehicles equipped with part-time 4WD may exhibit a flashing 4WD indicator light and inoperative 4WD system. Follow the procedures in the bulletin to address this condition.

Part# 41400-35032 Actuator Assy, Differential

It was covered by powertrain warranty for 5yrs or 60,000 miles.

 

i'd ask them to solder the terminals and load that thing up with dielectric grease before it goes on. a bead of silicone around that gasket would be nice too.

 

I was going tk do that myself, and ask them if I can have my old part back too
