    will a TRD Pro grill be grounds to deny warranty for a engine idler pulley squeal? It does it at 2k RPMS or above.

    Only “mods” are
    1. TRD PRO GRILL.
    2. TRD PRO WHEELS.

    Truck has 25k miles
    I have an appointment tomorrow.

    Your mods are not enough to deny warranty, but I bet the dealer will say, "It's normal, they all do this."

    Correct and the fact that your warranty is a performance contract between the owner of the vehicle and Toyota...a dealer could deny a customer concern or customer complaint but they can’t unilaterally deny a claim that can only come from a Toyota regional rep. Besides Trd parts are approved for use by Toyota on Toyota vehicles.

    I had a squeal due to dirt. Or if I washed dirt into belts/pulleys. VERY annoying. Just have to try to do a better job keeping the engineer bay clean between trips. Good habit anyways since the dirt wear increase wear.
