Whoa. A frame replacement in 2021?

You must be one of the few rare 2010 cases. Fingers crossed.

 

I'm thinking there's a good chance...

 

Hope it goes through, that’ll be like a brand new truck!

 

Probably gonna get new struts too...

 

Congrats! Now would be the time for water pump and any upgrades. Minimal labor charges.
Enjoy the holy hell out of the rental!

 

You are missing key words in the Service document......

"Submitted pictures waiting for approval"

The eggs have been laid, now just waiting for the hatching. Don't count the chickens before they hatch.

 

Water pump?

 

Basically anything on your vehicle that's difficult to access or has to come off anyway, it would be a great time to do it with the frame off. Mine was years ago but they asked a few questions about things I might want to replace. Can't recall all but someone smarter than me can certainly answer. Not necessarily your water pump

 

You are not getting a new frame - yet. The dealer has submitted pictures to Toyota with a request that the frame be replaced. Toyota can still say no. As I've said before, your frame looks fine to me. My guess is that your dealer is just covering their butt. And yes, I can be wrong.

 

I can't believe someone has made the pun "You've been framed!"

I expect more from you people....

 

I’d def get new cab mounts.

 

Right by the catalytic converter...

 

Size?

 

Exceeds requirements...

 

HVAC knob is no longer cracked but I just found out my frame is...

 

Looks like good news all the way around! Glad you got that knob replaced and caught that frame in the nick of time!
Now the truck's going to last you another decade at least.

 

good stuff. i had the frame replaced on my 2006. felt like a new truck after.
