Tsb 08 tacoma

Sorry that I need to ask the question again.. Will all '07's with the G need to be replaced?

 

07's are covered by the TSB. If you are bottomming out, I'm sure it will be covered. Put 500lbs of sand in the back. If it bottoms out, then take it to the $tealership.

 

Bottoms automatically or when driving? I remember that with my '99 it would hit the bottoms if I had a heavy load and drove in an area where it caused the bed to rise and fall.. I assumed at the time that this was a "normal" occurance due to the weight..
Was the '05-'07's hitting the bottom with just the load alone?

Thanks..

 

with just a load alone.....its close to the bump stops.....while riding it will bottom out and hit the bump stops.

 

Bottoming out over small bumps, that's the issue.

 

07s only ever had F springs.. there are none with G. Any 2007 should be covered fully based on customer complaint.

 

So after the TSB, how many lbs can the bed take and not bottom over bumps?

 

sweet!!! i just got off the phone with them and they said bring it up tomorrow and they will change out the rear and front shocks and the rear springs

 

makne damn sure they are putting the 4 leaf pack.....not the same old 3 leaf pack that lots have dealers have screwed up on!!!

 

Is everyone changing it out, becaue they can? I read on the TSB that it is 3 years or 30,00 mi.. Should I test it, or just have it changed?

 

just have it done. Your truck will drive so much better

 

okay ive been reading slightly on the TSB For the leaf springs, i have a prerunner double cab, should i get this done?

oh yea my truck is an 2008

if the dealer will do it for ya....by all means, go for it!!! you'll love the way the truck rides/handles after the tsb.

 

Load the truck up-within the manufacturers weight ratings- and demo that you have the problem- That's the best way to get them to do it.
Good luck!!

 

i forgot to add my truck has the sport package not one of the off road packages does that matter?

JasonH, What dealer in Dalls did you take it to. I called the 800 # and they said my 08 was not covered even though it bottoms out. I figure I would try the one you went to.

 

hey where exactly on the leaf spring will it say G ill have to take a look at it later my neighbor across the street works at the toyota stealership i bought the truck from and his son and my son are best friends so im sure i can get it done no matter what.

There should be a stencil (in yellow) on top of the spring- so you kinda gotta stick your head into the wheel well and look at the spring.

The last letter in the string of letters/numbers needs to be F, not G. G means you have the updated parts already.

 

4>3 in my opinion. Even if you have the 3 with the G parts give them hell. Load that sucker up and see what she does. Its a shame that I see so many Tacos around here bottomed out with a load and the guys don't know they need better springs...totally looks WEAK!!!
