Supercharger, Recourse and Effects?

I agree! It surprises a lot of folks.

 

Ok so for my 2013, I bought it in Jefferson Missouri.

I got the standard 36k bumper to bumper 60k powertrain Toyota warranty.
I got the optional 125k bumper to bumper extended Toyota platinum warranty, I have been told that this doesn't exist anymore as an option.

The Lifetime powertrain is a Non-Toyota warranty, The dealer pays a certain fee and it is good on all their new cars nation wide. The thing is it starts covering the same as the Factory powertrain warranty from 60k on. The said something like 95 percent of the buyers sell their cars before then. The Lifetime warranty is good for unlimited miles as long as you own the thing, and supposedly doesn't need BS rules because its almost never "used". Hardly anyone keeps the cars or trucks that long, and its only the original buyer. They said they sell a ton more cars by paying for it, and have made a great profit.

I planned on keeping my 2013 forever so it sounded like a good deal to at least try. But now I have a new baby and I need a double cab.

Really the wife says I have to get a double cab, and I don't want to listen to the nagging forever.

 

Well there is a ton of good input here guys. Thanks!

The snout nose wouldn't bother me. With my first S/C I thought something was wrong, but after I learned some more about it, its just another noise

Has anyone run one of the stealth pulley? and how does it work out? I don't I will far past the Supercharger on this one. I would love the edge and more fun, but would also like to keep it going forever.

I don't know about you guys but I think the higher cost of the 4.0 charger means less other supercharged 2nd gens running around than 1st gens. Which makes it more exclusive, and more appealing

What about plugs? Do you guys keep the same 30k run on plugs? Or aside from the supercharger itself is there any added maintenance that you guys do, or wish you would have done to keep it all healthy?

Do you guys have trouble finding belts etc? I am sure its not as bad as the Corolla was but that thing was rare, and with the mods it ate belts.. which were pretty hard to find.

And how many of you put the sticker on the truck?

How often do people ask what is wrong with it? or say it sounds like a windup car? I was surprised with the old car most people recognize the sound of a turbo.. Many have no idea what a supercharger whine is..

Who has the best excellent drivers badge (speeding ticket) as a result of their S/C?

 

S/C comes with new Iridium plugs that should be good to 30 or 40K.

Aside from S/C maintenance, I do the regular intervals and document them as usual.

Found the Goodyear Gator Poly V supercharger belt online.

I found a nicer emblem than the ones provided, and put it on the glove compartment door.

 

I had the Audi ones on my truck for a while, but I eventually took them off.

 

Nice!
