Problems after frame replacement

Well post your problems after your frame was replaced. Hopefully those picking up trucks will test those items immediately.
1. Transmission shift indicator range screwed up (Toyota fixed after the visit)
2. No 4wd ..... Thats a complete nothing no light not a peep nothing ... (will check but after a month not sure if dealer will honor this)

So I wanted to do my monthly 4wd Lubrication, turned switch and got nothing.... not even a blinking light. Truck feels naked like pre-runner.
This is such a BS...
Post your problems after frame replacement.

 

You're my boi BlueT

 

Time to get a 3rd gen.

 

Ya no way.
I am too old to drive under powered trucks with Camry engine build out of Made in China components, and transmission from Supra, put toghether in Mexico. I like my Japanese cars to be build in Japan.. US is as far I go from Japan.
If I wanted something slow I can always drive my kids 50 cc moped build in South Korea. many people would be thrilled, it has no power but it does 100 MPG.
Plus getting 3rd would not solve frame rust problems.
I will find the reason why 4wd is not engaging, this weekend supposed to be nice weather, so troubleshooting electrical gremlins is going to be fun. I bet they left some cable not plug in.

 

Hey some people are rebels some people are sheep.
If I have to be the one to rattle the cage full of sheep, so be it.

 

4wd not working? Looks like you need a roll caget. It's the only way.

Are you going to take it back to the dealer if you find something or just do it all yourself?

 

I have the same problem after getting my frame swapped.
Check out my thread "no start no 4wd after frame replacement".
Blue,where r u located?

 

This is now fixed. I disconnected transfer case, reconnected, then pulled fuse and it started working. Fuse had marks like lightining had strike that thing, very wierd but it was still good.
now 4wd works again like a charm.
It looks like when they disconencted things they created sme kind of short that put the mark o nthe fuse but did not blew it.
I checked current draw just in case...
Going into 4HI

Going into 4L

Going Out of the 4L and 4Hi produces the same numbers. So not much current than again I use my 4wd so often that it has no problems switching while truck is parked.
For now I am going to leave it just have spare fuses handy.

 

If it was something big that I need to spent money on a lot of parts I would as dealer but I dont like going to dealer for anything. In 9 years my truck had been in dealer only handful of times. I do my own maintenance.

 

I wish they were still built in Japan also. Quality has really gone downhill.

 

What year did they stop building the Tacoma in Japan?

 

None. I was wrong.

 

This sounds stupid,but I checked my manual.
Where the hell is the 4wd fuse?

 

Its in the cabin fuse box. One of the 20 Amp fuses.

Yeah, because its summer and I am painting new frame so I need to keep it clean until is done, If new frame weren't as much crap as old one was i could have taken truck somewhere.
BTW new frame is made by Metalsa in Mexico, just like old frame on my 07, And just like my 99 frame was. All made in Mexico so talking about quality from there is hilarious...
They could not make frame correctly in Mexico for past 20 years but you think buying whole truck made there is good idea ? Crazy.
New 2gr engine, looks to be modified 2gr-fse. Its a car engine in a truck...
Will people buy it, yeah, because there are a lot of people who don't think
"Never underestimate predictability of stupidity."

 

Blue,swapped my fuse.
Still no go.
I go to dealer on Wednesday.
What dealer did u bring yours to?

 

I did not bring into dealer, I worked on it myself
I did not think yours would be the same problem, I am telling you most likely you have front actuator stuck. Bring to dealer but if they start tossign parts and charging you I would check front actuator motor. Our trucks are known to have problem with it.

 

I believe it was 1995 (pre Tacoma).
My 95 non-branded no name 4x4 truck was a 1995 with a vin of JT
It is still on the road today even here in the ol' salty roads of Vermont.
I see it all the time!
