WTF? Replacement TRD Supercharger-same problem

Dealer just called me.
New Supercharger installed-same exact two rattle noise on engine shutdown.
Dealer service manager was on the phone with TRD when service advisor called me and they will send a video to TRD.
Looks like I'm going to have the loaner for awhile.

 

Damnit

 

that sucks! hope it all works out for ya bud sooner then later

 

Maybe its not the supercharger?

 

Well now you have me thinking not to get the supercharger. Unless you find its somthing wrong with your motor.

 

No,service rep said it's definitely the supercharger.

You have an '05.
'05-'08 superchargers are fine.
The '09 unit is rumored to have rear bearing issues.

 

Ya i have the 05, well thats good to know then

 

Where is this information from?

I really think you and the dealer are getting worried about a noise that every supercharger for our truck makes when its shut off. Mine makes noise doesn't bother me one bit. Which is caused by the lobes inside.

 

I got that info from one of the most Toyota knowledgeable persons here.
I am not going to name him and put him on the spot.

I had this supercharger for a couple of months and there wasn't any sound with the engine shutoff.If it was from day one,maybe I would believe it's normal.
The rattling sound is nothing like the video you posted.The service dept has installed a number of superchargers in Tacoma's,Scion's and Tundra.They were installing one on a Tundra when I dropped off the truck.I think they would know if a SC is bad or not.
They were the only dealer in my area who would do the install in the book 6 hours because they do many and don't have to refer to the instruction paperwork word for word like the excuse I was getting from other Toyota dealers in my area who wanted 8-10.I even got a 12 hour quote because they don't do many..
Maybe the rear bearing issue rumor on the '09 unit is true

 

Can you tell what dealer =THAT GOOD and honest did use in New Jersey????, In 13 years since I bought my first Toyota I never went to one with out worry that he is going to screw me with something. Thank you. Virgil

 

East Coast Toyota in Wood Ridge.

 

Thank you. Will try them.

 

keep us posted!

 

wow that sucks!!!

 

Chris you didn't need to come forward, we all knew from "most toyota knowledgeable person" who he was talking about

 

I've always though, coming from a fan of muscle cars. that if you put in a super charger, or Turbo charger that the bearings should also be changed to say heavier duty ones.
