Letter about load "sticker" from Toyota

TSB = Technical Service Bulletin

I don't think that AAL is correct concerning the "suspension TSB".
I believe that new, complete spring packs are installed as opposed to a single, added leaf to the existing spring packs.

I rec'd the new 4# sticker in yesterday's mail.
Not sure what to make of it.
At first glance, minus 4# is better than minus 290#......

 

Have the other guys getting the 4# sticker also had the tsb done?

I think you're correct with the complete spring pack but I also think the only difference between the 3 leaf pack and the 4 leaf pack is the added leaf.

 

I don't think that I would have toold that.

 

Good info right there ^^

 

Wow. Owners are getting a label 'free of charge'. That is soo cool. Lawyers are funny; they get paid a lot for saying nothing.

 

Its a whole different leaf pack design. I have not received a sticker, nor did I have one originally. Maybe it is because I just had the rear TSB done. There is no question these leafs are for those who use their trucks as trucks. If you drive around in a truck but do not use it as a truck, you may be happier with the ride the stock springs give. At least that is what Toyota says or warns you if you get the TSB done. I found very little difference in the ride. It rides like a truck!

 

This whole saga would make more sense to me if the minus 290# was the later sticker.
They are in effect negating the original sticker "out of safety concerns" and yet allowing more payload with the minus 4# sticker.
