    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    In all honesty the recall was a bandaid at best, pull the pack with quality aftermarket ones and enjoy an improved ride.

    They do replace the whole pack I believe the problem though is the whole thing sucks and can't really be fixed. The design is flawed at the core and to fix it is more than a larger leaf pack.

    Too few to list.
    The leaf spring recall is a joke. That recall was sent like a year ago. My cousin is still waiting for his fix.

    I'm going to DCH Toyota in Torrance tomorrow to get the new leafs installed. After bitching at them for over 2 years about the horrible sounds they finally got back to me.

    That's not good
    So what happens if they end up "puncturing the gas tank"
    Like the recall says

    Brought mine in last Saturday after waiting 2 weeks for them to come in. After 5 hours of them having the truck they realized its a regular cab and I guess the leaf springs are different... So I am back to waiting. But they gave me a free rental for the day so i'm not too bummed

    Try spraying white lithium grease on them. It helped a little but the squeak always came back. Also contact the Toyota headquarters and let them know how frustrated you are. I think that really helped for me cause after bitching to HQ I got a call from the DCH head service manager and he said he is going to take care of it.
