    Give me a shout out please; attempting to get some needed info.

    Add: I am trying to get ahold of the correct (from toyota) part numbers, torque specs, and any and all available current TSBs for the 4th gen. This will likely come in PDF form. Any ideas? I know this is the 3rd gens section but the 4th gen section is still a bit slow. Hopefully a tech can help me out with some info they have that the internet does not yet. Thats the plan anyway. Will delete as soon as I make contact!

    Clueless what that means. But @Bishop84 is one. A tech. Not an android. ;)

    There are a couple others, but names escape me at the moment.

    You should just ask your question. Lots of folks here are well versed on our trucks.

    I can't read the name bishop without thinking of 1984 Aliens.

    I would hope toyota would not release a vehicle without known torque specs for their techs to crank to. Hopefully a tech can help me out with some info they have that the internet does not yet. Thats the plan anyway.

    Don't forget that Toyota send info to service dept via computer... I am sure they have info by now.

    Techs aren't at the dept right now which is why you haven't gotten info from one of the techs or they could be very busy until they got free time to help you out... The service dept at my dealer opens at 9am (east coast). Not sure where you are but check your service hours for your dealership... call them and ask for info once they are open for service or help with questions.

    For sure for sure. I am not in dire need. I was more hoping to befriend a tech and he could provide as able. Great ideas!

    So I'll gladly help as needed, but I can't distribute Toyota information at large.

    I usually crutch on others that have 3rd party access to Toyota information to share it, as I cannot. Even publicly distributed TSBs I wont share unless I can find the American public file.

    I appreciate the accolades, I'm here to help, but I won't produce any lists.
