I like dat view

 

looks like Cliffside in Waipio

 

To 3rd gen Oahu guys: Just out of curiosity, are any of your trucks effected by the recent leaky diff recall? I was wondering if Servco was going to confiscate your truck like they are doing in the mainland, if you bring it in and the diff is leaking.

 

Over here on kauai, I called servco and they said that they arent doing anything until they send out the letters in june. I only have 6k miles on mines and it looks like its seeping pretty badly already. I didnt like what servco kauai said so i tried calling their main office, they gave the same answer that they arent doing anything until the letters go out and that if your not on the recall list even though it is obviously seeping on a visual inspection, that your car is safe to drive. They didnt even offer to look at it. I was pretty disappointed to hear this. Reading the recall thread in the 3rd gen forum, if your on the list or on visual inspection it is leaking, they will check your truck and if its not safe then theyre holding onto it and giving you a loaner until a fix is found. Wish servco would step up like this.

 

mines is. and I see visible leaks. still using the truck though I have 19k miles on mines.

 

You have a link? That's crazy!

put your vin number in and see its yours has a recall

 

That sucks. On one hand I would wanna take the truck in to show them. Screw the office people. And on the other hand, drive it till the rear end fails and make them eat it cause thats warranty.

 

You guys shouldn't need a recall though... If you have a 3rd gen, it has to have remaining warranty balance. Recall or no, drop if off for repairs

 

What would really suck is if Servco starts pulling that crap where they say the lift and larger tires caused the failure.

 

That sucks... and I was gonna grab a 3rd before I went with the 4R... not trying to hit where it hurts, but many people advised me to wait till they worked the bugs out...

Weird as well as not sure there is any difference between the 2nd and 3rd gen diffs.... maybe something to do with the whole crawl control and other stuff??

They "should" honor if you lifted, but probably not for those who re-geared

Edit: but Dana beat me to it... they can "claim" whatever they want to claim...

 

It's a new rear end design, iirc.

 

@raycie Looks like there's leakage/seepage on all the different models, but the recall is for the sr5/sports right now. Guys with offroads have been reporting leaking diffs too though.

@raycie The offroads and manual sports have the new 8.8 diff. The rest were supposedly the same as before.

 

Wasn't the old sports the same ???? Or were they a bit smaller??

 

The old e locker was a 8" (1st and 2nd gen taco/ t4r/ fj)
The other 2nd gens were a 8.2"

 

**8.4

 

Oh yeah, you're right. I'm all mixed up...

Non e locker tacomas, t100 are 8.4
8.2 is the t4r and fj '10+

 

How's it!
New to Tacoma world and working on getting the feel around here. Let's start with some pics of my tacoma I guess!

 

3rd gen guys, you see this yet?
