Tsb?

How can you tell if you have TSB or not?

 

Look in the mirror and stick out your tounge. If it is pink, then you have TSB. I would go to the doctor.

 

Just messin... Like the other poster said, you will have to be more specific. There are alot of TSB. It is a Technical Service Bulletin. It is a fix for a specific problem that has been released by Toyota.

 

Dang....I knew I wasn't feeling well....


Most likely you are referring to the leaf spring TSB (harsh ride)... I think the easiest way to tell is if you have 4 leafs instead of the factory 3. But, that could also be a aftermarket AAL. I don't have the part numbers to verify. Someone will correct me if I am wrong, very shortly and probably with a slam to my mechanical acumen....

 

48210-04550 3spring right
48220-04190 3 spring left

change to
R: 48210-04570
L: 48220-04210

 

thanks, I was talking about the leaf spring TSB. I also stuck my tongue out and looked in the mirror... lets just say I am headed to the doc this afternoon

 

Does the leaf-spring TSB apply to 2WD as well as 4WD trucks? I thought the copy of the TSB that was linked in another thread specifically mentioned that the TSB applied only to 4WD trucks. My eyes are bleeding after reading all the TSB posts in an attempt to confirm that.

 

it applies to both 4wd and Prerunners

 

Cool, my truck's got the 3-spring part numbers listed above and a squirrelly rear end under load.

Thanks.

 

TSB only are valid up to 36k right? Do you have to pay??

 

Depends.

It appears that some owners got free suspension TSB service beyond the 36k-mile/36-month period. Some others, whose trucks were beyond the warranty limits and were denied the TSB service, opted to purchase aftermarket parts rather than the Toyota package.
