ECU bricked during Trans update #3

I raised an eyebrow when the service manager mentioned this was the 3rd Trans Update. I told him that I hadn't heard there was another revision. He "semi-face palmed" and said "Yea and I think there will probably be a 4th"

 

You think you're gonna keep the taco long enough for the 4th revision? 3rd one for it's second year in production...doesn't look good so far.

 

Yeah I think i'll keep it for a couple more years. Just until my wife is pregnant again at least...because then I'll have rationale to go back to a full size. The Tacoma will be too tight for two kiddos in the back. Unless Toyota makes some nice revisions to the Tundra, I think I'll be going back to the 6.2L GMC or Silverado. My last one gave me zero issues and dealer service here is great...especially since my buddy owns a GM Dealership .

 

So why didn't you get one of the twins to start with?
No disrespect implied just

 

Oh he tried to sell me on one. Offered me one to take home for a week. Didn't care for the front end and low approach angle. Wanted to go back to Toyota since I had such good luck with my old Tacoma.

 

My normal service adviser wasn't in today so the one working with me didn't bother to hook it up and check for a new version but said they weren't aware of any new updates. (surprise!)

 

What trans update ? is there a newer one out or something

 

allegedly

 

In a couple of years if I trade in my Tacoma. I will be looking at the Tundra, if Toyota actually decides to redesign it.

 

i heard GM will be jumping on the aluminum body bandwagon. id stick with the tundra. my dad has a 2010 and man that thing rides like a caddy even with it leveled out and MT tires

 

They probably saw you post in the OVTuned thread and were trying to snoop around on your ECU to see if you'd flashed it so they can deny warranty and stop working on your Truck.

 

WTF....

You're reproducing now??????

 

There's a 3rd Trans Update?

 

Good luck with the repair @smitty99 , run the wheels off the Corolla, you've earned it.

 

I may get a speeding ticket, been hauling ass around town in it.

 

It's nice to try and light up those front drive puller tires and still get 28+ MPG isn't it?

 

Nice...take it mudding...

 

I expect to see hooning youtubes soon. Let me know how fast it takes to get it airborn.

 

Its a Juke clone
