    Hmm . . . none as yet, that's why i'm here . . .
    Replace the transmission lines and power steering lines. Check the metal lines on the steering rack they can be awful cruddy.

    That all they messed up? Lol
    They managed to break a CV axle, all the grease fitting on the rear shaft, broke center pin on the leaf pack and mounted the axle 1" out of alignment (uhhh, we can't seem to get it aligned, we're sorry) broke most all wiring harness clips so I had stuff hanging everywhere and took a hard argument to get them fix all the crap they screwed up.

    they didn't pull my engine or transmission. the strapped it into the body. not sure i am a fan of doing it that way, but 40K miles later with no issues, so i guess i can't really complain

    Actually I got really lucky when I purchased this truck. Very little surface rust which I wire brushed off and them fluid filmed. Looks almost brand new now.

    At about 7 months of waiting. I emailed the north america ceo. This lady called me back. She indicated the dealer didn't order the frame for a month. Then they broke some upper control arm bolts. Took a few weeks to get those. Anyways... They stepped up and sent this. Defiantly reach out to the top of the food chain for action.

    At the dealer spending the balance of my credit. They have a 17 used in the showroom. I have time to kill so i wander over. Sales person shows. Fight over shitty frame happens. He goes on and on defending toyota for replacing them... I ask why don't they just make them right. Fucks sakes. It's been 25 years. Make a decent frame so we don't have to replace them.

    It was more the tech than the manager. He was claiming all this was broke before he ever started etc. I'm not throwing them under the bus because it was handled once the 3 of us sat down for a talk. Pretty sure he doesn't have a job there anymore.

    Any updates? I'll be taking mine in soon and probably am going to have a bunch of stuff replaced while it's apart. Just wondered how bad that's going to cost me.
