    They should give you a W-2 and let you write off some of your time there lol.

    Hopefully the new brain transforms your truck.

    I,too, am on a first name basis with the service manager at my dealership. He's the main reason I didn't try to lemon the truck. He's always helpful and has gone out of his way a few times to do whatever he could.

    I didn't realize there was another update out. Sounds like I should wait though...

    Shouldn't happen ecer, as we can unbrick it.

    Unfortunately Toyota uses techstream, which cant. They are probably ordering him a new ecu

    I just got back from a vacation up to Salt Lake City form Irvine Ca.....I will be posting separate post on MPG (>26)...as for this post, I had the first and second ECU update and thought I was OK until I went on my trip...My taco shifts pretty smooth, but when it senses a little incline, it downshifts to 5th and then to 4th.... and sometimes to 3rd.....this really gets annoying but I believe it to be the "design"......if there is a new 3rd revision on the ECU update, will someone please post it here and where we can get the written TS_B...thanks
