    Never mind, sorry for the spelling error, Toyota of Plano (Dallas) has ordered a transmission and the truck will be ready sometime next week. It's not been a great start with a new truck I've owned for less than 3 weeks (the license plates have not arrived), but I'm confident Toyota will take care of the problem. This was their second tranny replacement on a 2016 Tacoma, but more than a "few" have come from the factory with low transmission fluid. Mine was 2 quarts low. I thought it was an unusual problem worth mentioning. I'll leave you guys to your little group, thanks, but I'll gracefully bow out. I misunderstood the purpose of this site.
    Thanks again.

    When I was in school I may or may not have photoshopped my grade sheets every semester to reflect a GPA that allowed me to get discounts on my car insurance rates. So yes, anything can be made too look legit in Photoshop.

    Posting up a video clip of the service paper might be more legitimate, then again someone could just print out a photoshopped version of it. Nothing is at seems anymore, lol.

    True, but the sad reality is that it's impossible to put 100% faith in anything you see or read online anymore (not that it ever was in the first place but Photoshop and the like are more accessible to everyone now more than ever). You essentially have to compare it against the poster's history and time on the forum, and this being his first post it's easy to see why people are skeptical.

    Just looked up and my girl (who i thought was on the phone) had been telling me a story for about 2-3minutes without me realizing. This shit actually killed brain cells.
