    If you're planning on keeping this truck for a while and you can afford it, now would be a good time to take a close look at anything else on it that might need to be repaired/replaced, including preventative maintenance items. Most dealers are pretty cool about replacing parts at no additional labor cost or at a reduced labor hours since they're more readily accessible and easier to work on with the truck stripped down.

    SAHWEEEETTTTTTT!!!!

    I can speak from my experience last summer. Automatically included is rear leaf springs, LCAs, metal brake lines. I paid for new shocks and springs, labour was zero for those items. I cannot imagine they wouldn't do other things such as you mentioned for parts or parts plus nominal labour, as you mentioned in that example there's a lot less work to get to the item needing replacing. I know my coolant was replaced as well, engine oil and trans fluid not. Not sure re the differential(s) as I didn't ask, but not a bad idea to query.

    I forget where I saw it, but IIRC the 10mm hole is what's needed to get a new frame. If it's 15mm or under they don't take it and give you the loaner on the spot.

    This. Mine only had about 117K on it so I wasn't needing anything that it would have paid to do other than the suspension work I mentioned above.

    In my case anything they took off they replaced at no labor cost. I got some lightly used shocks and they no problem putting them on. Also changed the water pump and a few other things at very low labor costs because of easy access. But a lot of the original rusty parts got bolted back on - skid plates and rear hitch assembly that i can recall.
    Definitely look into things you might want to replace in update.

    My frame was done at Towne Toyota in NJ. They wouldn’t replace a thing without charging me full labor rate.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    Interesting during the start of the extended warranty I had several Trucks that had been repaired that were bought back with no problems.

    Slightly more then tool marks.

    As all dealers are independent so will avoid any frame swaps doing anything to wiggle out.
