Where's them Rusted Frames

That's good to hear. You have a stand-up Dealer. Mine was just uninformed, but once they were made aware, the process has became a breeze so far.
I miss my truck tho....

 

North GA more than Central, but, we might get a foot of snow in 10 years in my area. Lol

 

But then you can't do this! Old picture but all I have on my phone ATM

 

Amen.

 

That's one of my top 5 To Do's.

 

If I want to do that I'll just take a trip somewhere with snow. Lol

 

Im not so sure about this, I bought my 2008 Tacoma back on July 3rd and had the inspection done a week later and it failed.So pictures were taken of a peforation and submitted to Toyota, and I was approved. I have the service record with the code ZH6404, which is qualifying perforation found/awaiting frame replacement. I even confirmed this with Toyota themselves and they said both my Tacoma and myself qualify.

 

The older I get the more I think this way

 

Where can I get my service records?

I just bought a 2011 ACLB TRD Sport. My frame looks similar to yours...20k miles....
Dealer assures me that Toyota will cover rust-through for 15 years.
I am already planning to de-scale the frame myself and treat with POR15 on the outside and Eastwood in the channels.

 

Undercoating is good but it may be too late. There's sooo many hidden cavities in our frames. My main holes started inside the frame, where it's impossible to de-scale before a good coating. If you can live with the unsightliness, I would let it run its course until your dealer says you qualify for replacement. It will require replacement.....

 

Thanks and first I have to make my account & then I put the vin number of my truck? Or how does it work?

 

Yes you need to set up your account first, and if I remember correctly it automatically had my Tacoma listed.

 

I just checked the service history on a truck I was looking at on the Toyotaowners.com site and it required me to enter the VIN that I had from the dealer. There is a broad range of data, service history, in-service date, how it came equipped,etc. In places, it's more helpful than Carfax, with more detail. With Carfax it's a great combination.

 

Thanks

 

Welcome to my play ground!!!

 

have you herd back from Toyota regarding your frame replacement?? how long do you think you will be in a rental?

 

What they told me and what it took were off by 3 months. I truly don't think they know when the frames are coming in.

 

I took my 2006 Access Cab Tacoma in for a child seat recall notice today. They also inspected the frame, (it was first inspected in April of this year) They said it had a hole in in the frame today and they confiscated the truck. They gave me a 2016 Jeep Patriot for a rental. Told me it will take about 5 months to get parts and do the job.
I'm kind of in shock right now that I'll be without my truck until Christmas. But I guess when i get it back it will be worth it.
