Missing Transmission cooler.

i was about to start another drunk fight thread, but looks like you guys have things under control

 

No, I think it's the stolen tailgate thread.

 

I don’ see any hose jumping the supply and return line. Don’t know if these help or not

 

It makes perfect sense and I can't blame them for robbing a part off another vehicle, but from the sound of your post it's taboo. If that's the case there probably isn't much documentation going on, so it would be easy for them to pull a part on a truck and then lose it in the shuffle.

They probably pulled the part off the OPs truck and then either forgot to order one or they sold it before they got the part.

This is the simplest explanation and usually the simplest explanation is the right one.

 

It helps, you apparently don't have the air cooler lines after all. I do see the engine oil cooler though, so that's good.

Follow up with your dealer or Toyota directly. It seems doubtful it was a mistake. I wonder if they decided it wasn't needed anymore.

 

I can’t go to bed unless I know what happened here.

 

They could’ve although my friends truck was built early march just like mine. I will continue to see what happened. I appreciate all your help!

 

Hey Hook, you may be up a long time.

 

I would think that taking this to any dealership and stating “my standard ATF cooler is missing” would ultimately be the solution regardless of the 5 W’s and H. And/or opening up a case with Toyota.

 

This thread made me go check my 2020 OR for a trans cooler.

 

I will do it in that order if I have to

 

We use to aquire parts we needed for our trucks in Kuwait from a company that never went north. They didnt understand why they got two connexes full of old used seats when they ordered air ride seats.

 

Travadol, trust me you have one.

 

Don’t leave us hanging when you get an answer!

 

I Wouldn’t do that

 

Human nature. If my medic unit is short on supplies, I'm going to rob stuff off the reserve truck so I can stay in service while I go to restock. Then we get busy and the next day the other shift wonders why stuff is missing off the reserve truck.

Of course getting fussed at by the oncoming shift isn't the same as selling a stripped truck to a customer.

 

I went out and looked at my 2017 trans cooler, just to make sure it is still there. Don't want to be looking for someone selling a transmission cooler and a tailgate in my neighborhood.

 

You've been on the tailgate thread haven't you.

 

Bring a firearm to Toyota, just in case things go south.
