Frame replacement time has arrived!!

Just got the call from the service manager today, frame is in along with all the needed parts. Im dropping it off tomorrow and getting a loaner while its done. I decided to also have all the shocks replaced since what is in their are the original. So a 2008 Tacoma with now 35,000 miles on it getting a new frame and lots of other goodies!! Sweet!!

 

What are you getting a new frame with so few miles? Rust?

 

It has a perforation just bigger then 10mm on the left front part of the frame.

 

Huh, well I am glad they are replacing it for you. Hope your truck is not out of commission for too long.

 

After its fixed... drive it! 35000 miles on an 08 is disgraceful.

 

LOL I bought it in july with a little over 32000 miles, I put on 3000 since I have owned it.

Just a couple threads on here with some similar material. Mines under the knife now.
Dropped off 8-4-17 and they say about a week more till it's back to me.

 

Why so long? Did you have to leave it due to safety reasons? The deal said 4 to 5 days for mine.

 

As soon as they put it on the lift they had the GM come tell me they had to keep it due to safety issues.
They put me in a 2017 Tacoma with 4500 miles on the clock with no charge to me.
It took 5-6 weeks for them to get the frame in and they have 1 tech doing the swap.

 

Is Pitts doing the work on your truck?

 

Yea
You familiar with the area?

 

Yes, I live in Eastman. My family has always done business with them, including myself. They have always treated us good.Service department has went over and above on some issues in the past. I got my first truck from them back in 1986, it was a 1985 regular cab 4x4.

 

Very cool. I can't say enough about the service they've shown me during the process. Down to Earth, and personal.

My truck will make the 3rd replacement they've done since the earlier Limited Campaign.

 

Okay your frame looks much worse then mine so that makes sense. I only had a perforation just bigger then 10mm so they said I could keep driving it. They gave me a 2017 RAV4 which is really nice. The frame and all the part all were ordered 2 months ago, so it should only be about a week to do the job.
