If it is metal it has been updated.

 

You mean the thing near the coolant reservoir?

So, the Toyota tech didn't connect the horn properly and I almost had to leave the truck over the weekend; They fixed the horn at the lost minute and I picked up the truck.

Not even three miles away from the dealer, the truck jumped out of Drive and into Neutral when I brakes for a stop sign. It was hard to get back into drive and at the slight tap of brakes it seemed to jump right back out of drive; So I had to bring the truck back and now I'm back in another loaner Camry, likely until Monday...

 

No it’s under the intake.

@Jimmyh has some pictures.
If he doesn’t reply. I’ll see if I can find them when I get home.

 

SMH

 

Probably didn’t reconnect the park/neutral switch correctly back to the transmission shifter cable. Another reason to get a manual trans!

 

We will address that if and when the original transmission shits the bed...

 

Are little hiccups like this normal?

 

You’re planning on doing a 5 speed swap?

 

Oh yea

Oh yea, have patience.

 

Well that sucks, hopefully they get everything straightened out so you can trust it again.

 

Shift linkage gets bumped, my first frame swap I got stranded in the middle of my shop because I only had reverse haha.

Lots of stuff gets touched, mistakes happen.

I wasn't kidding about your leaf springs, they appear reversed.

 

Possibly, but lemme tell you the traffic around here makes me glad my truck has an automatic transmission...

 

You mean upside down or backwards?

 

with the r155 I bet that clutch is light compared to others. Hell, my accord clutch might be bigger LOL

 

Considering that basically the whole truck was taken apart. A couple issues are bound to arise. A pain in the ass, definitely. But understandable all things considered.

The big picture is, is that you got a brand new frame and your truck will last you many more years to come.

 

No, on the wrong side.
He stated it a few post

 

And if anything quits working in the next year or so, I'll know who's fault it is; Prior to the frame replacement, the only thing not working properly was the Bluetooth!

 

Yellow markings on spring means drivers side/gas tank.

White markings is passenger side.

Yellow is reinforced for weight.(obviously it never works but if you paid for spring, get them installed correctly.)

 

I just texted the service writer and brought up the issue; Why does it matter which leaf spring goes on which side though?
