    Stock for now.

    LOL yeah this unicorn differential is getting ridiculous. I didn't even have any noise. I don't even know if I want to try for a 2017 tacoma cause I've heard there's still a possibility of recall even on the 2017's.

    I'm also curious on this about ordering the parts yourself. Does anyone have the part numbers? If I can order the parts myself faster than toyota can I will be LIVID.

    I got a phone call back from corporate case manager about my whining differential. So far both dealers are giving me the cold shoulder. So the case manager is now probing into this manner. Ughhh... She sounded somewhat confused about the whole ordeal.

    Nice! Those numbers are all over the web so meh... not privileged info. It's Toyota's own poor handling that's got them in this predicament.

    Finally got my truck after 50 day. It came back covered in cacked dirt and mud from being under a tree and baking in the sun.......

    Has anyone had any luck getting Toyota to pay for a wax/detail??

    Not that I've heard but probably not worth the time wasted trying to get it approved. Doesn't hurt to ask but I wouldn't persist past that. Your time would probably be better spent doing it yourself.

    No thanks, I would have to go to San Antonio, TX for that! I think my neighbor was right, I should have bought a Japanese truck.
