Intermittent Extended or HARD Cranking FYI

Have any of you guys heard of this TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) for the 03-04 Tacoma (V6) ?

I found out about this bulletin lately and just wanted to share it with the group.
Some 2003-2004 model year Tacoma (V6) vehicles may experience an intermittent extended or "hard" engine cranking at startup. A revised engine wire harness and point relocation is required to correct this condition.

Appliable Vehicles- 2003-2004 model Tacoma Vehicles equipped with 5VZ-FE engines.

Parts info. previous P/N 82122-04052 current p/n 82122-35A60 (part Name-wire,engine)

Here is the catch: This repair is covered under the Toyota Comprehensive Warranty. This warranty is in effect for 36 months or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first, from the vehicle's in-service date.

yup and mine just misses the cut off by 1 month.

 

Thanks for this info this can be of help to our 1st generation taco owners.

 

My 1st generation taco will appreciate that bit of news, I'll have it checked out, although mine never experienced it...did you get the bulletin from ToyotaOwnersonline website??????
