...then, 253 days later,...

...I got my '10 Tacoma reg cab back with an all-new frame and springs installed! Wow! Truck runs & drives better than when I dropped it off:

Really, REALLY happy with the service from my dealer (Balise Toyota, W. Springfield MA) even though it took 8 1/2 months. I've driven the truck about 60-70 spirited miles and not one squeak, rattle or issue. VERY IMPRESSED!

The service advisor told me the technician has been doing 'nothing else' except Tacoma frames for the past 10 years. My truck got a full frame, 2 rear leafs, new cat converter pipe and a steering collar doo-hickey. There were also several other issues which were repaired/replaced at no charge. My only cost was for a new safety inspection sticker ($35) as the previous one was expired.

I'm sure members will be surprised at the time it took for this recall work but I did submit the truck during the last week of the CRC 'campaign' and there were literally tons of trucks in the shop at that time.

Really thought I'd be buying a 2020 DC TRD OR Tacoma after driving the 'loaner' but I'm sticking with my 'old buddy' for now.

 

Glad to hear that it worked our do well!!

She looks like you'll be driving her for many years to come! !
