oh no....TSB-0171-16 Driveline vibration

My 2017 vin matches those of the TSB. Ill ask my service guy but I'm sure it does.

 

My 2016 DCSB off-road is covered under those vins. Called my dealership and they hung up on me...

 

Well I'll be damned.. Going to call my service advisor anyways.. Try to bribe him with cookies or something.

 

Interesting... For what it's worth, I had the same issue and once I replaced my leaf pack with Dakars, I haven't really noticed the vibration.

 

Is anyone else experiencing this problem with their TRD OR?

 

Seriously.

I took my truck in 2 weeks ago to get that issue checked and was told by the tech that he didn't feel the truck slam into lower gear while breaking.
He said only thing they could do was have a different tech look at it another day.

Boggles my mind how he couldn't have felt the truck lurch forward when coming to a stop, if I feel it almost every time.

Anyone have any idea what it could be?

 

This is seems the same thing reported by another member in September, same exact thing although there is an actual TSB now. -->https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/improper-pinion-angle-work-completed.452929/

 

Looks like I will need to find out about this as my truck is in the shop now for these exact issues...

But I only think this is masking the issue....whats causing the vibes?

 

I have aftermarket leafs and am not interested in them, but I am interested in adding the steering damper to see what/and-if it does anything to help.

It shows it go's behind the airbag in the steering wheel? -->

Time for a new dealership

 

There's literally not one decent dealership in Las Vegas.

 

That sucks, use the surveys and let Toyota Coorporate know this.

 

Just spoke with my service advisor and he confirmed they wouldn't be able to do the TSB with aftermarket suspension components. He did offer to let me bring the truck in and if they can reproduce the issue they might be able to just install the steering damper and leave the pinion angles alone under warranty.

 

Let me know the out come if you notice a difference at all. The part is only 20 bucks, so I would just install myself.

 

Yes. I've been riding around with 200 lbs. of concrete in my bed to help with it.

 

I wonder why they excluded the OR in the TSB...

 

I knew I saw your truck in vegas, you got raptor style lighting in your grill right?

 

Sure do!

 

Haha nice, I was admiring your truck one night on the way home from work on the I-15 around 11pm

 

Thanks dude! Yeah that was definitely me. I'm on the 15 around that time 5 or 6 nights a week
