07 DC 4.0 Keep Or Ditch

Our 07 is burning 1 qt. per 1000 mi.. Please read 0il Drinking 2nd gen forums this is our truck. What if it was yours????

 

Its got 37k miles and did you buy it from the dealer? Cause if they told you that's normal that the biggest heap of crap and id raise hell till they fixed it. Is it under warranty still? Did you try calling toyota themselves and tell them about the dealer and what they said?

 

Credit union appoved dealer 5 mo old 6000 mi.. Outstanding truck till 30000 mi.

 

Regardless if you cause a big enough situation you can get something done about it

 

Yes for what good its going to do.

 

There is a fix for that!
remove all spark plugs, pour 3 tablespoons of Bon Ami Cleanser down the plug holes
install spark plugs
start up

it will smoke a little, but your oil driinking problem is corrected

the cleanser will scour the cyl walls , remove the glaze, and even un-freeze the rings from the pistons
used car dealers do this all the time and yes it does work

banana peels stuffed into noisy differentials will quiet them down

(note: If I continue giving out used car dealer tricks they are going to kill me)

 

Saw dust in the differential works too lol

 

yea, saw dust does work

ever see the "Quick Patch"? they mix body putty with paint reducer to thin it out as a paint, then they paint it thin on a piece of wax paper then place it over the hole in the body and roll it out with a rolling pin, let it dry and peel off the wax paper and its smooth enough to paint without sanding.

I shouldn't give out these secrets, I have tons more, somebody is going to kill me.

 

No never seen that lol and I've never been to used car dealer either... but you might wanna log off and grab your guns I think they traced your IP and are closing in on you lol

 

Ditch it now ? Let toy. USA fix it ( i smell run around coming) ? Hire attorney? (you are a fly without one) Call for napalm?

 

nah call the dealer again and just be like wtf fix it assholes and keep asking for managers.. there's always someone higher up and give a call to toyota corporate and complain if they are bitches and keep saying 1qt for 1k is normal

 

Read last 2 pages of oil drinking. All dealers (4) called mag. all ref. to own. man. 1 qt. per 600 mi. is ok. I dont think this is the only one
with bad rings or valve seats. If they want to go inside eng. She is agoner from me.

 

How do they justify that as being ok? Go higher than the dealerships call toyota corp and be like wtf cause it ain't right and your paying for something that should be working fine. You can push for an engine swap if you don't want them tearing apart yours

 

At least that's what id do..

 

I'd get rid of the oil burning one way or another. All that oil is building carbon deposits in the engine and shortening the life of the expensive catalytic converters. Trading it in on another of the same year and mileage may cost less than an engine replacement. Make sure you trade it to the same dealer who is telling you it's normal. Then they can tell the new owner it's normal as well. Hopefully the new owner is the type to check their oil often.

 

No dealer can do work like fac. I guess ill hope for toy. o% this summer find a new one out of town not crazy about any Orl. dealers now.

 

Thanks im almost sure its got to go.Will try to find small town dealer this sum. and unload.

 

Goodluck this is why you don't trust dealerships unfortunately.. only reason I go to mine is for specific parts

 

Funny if you want to buy anew one and give out you# you get non stop calls, Something bad happens you are on your on for the long time run around.I miss old school where you were treated like your money was important now its f. him on to the next a hole.
