Frame failure at motor mount - Swap Complete.

Toyota has approved my frame replacement.

Now the wait for parts begins.

I went over and ran some Stabil through the fuel system in anticipation.

 

Double post.

 

Good news tooo!!!! Toyota has approved my frame replacement!!!!

 

Just looked at an '05 for a guy last night and gave him the good/bad news. He needed about $3K of other work as well but he needs to sort the frame out first. I hope it works out for him.

 

What kind of other work he need on is truck ?

 

Law suit is in motion against toyota in Arkansas against this surprise repair!!! Can do same thing here!!!!

 

I went over to the dealership today. Truck was parked in the same spot. I started it and ran it for 10 minutes and drove it around the lot. I am going to try to do this with regularity as a preventive measure.

 

OP where in ontario are you? what dealership is it at?

 

Good. Luckily my frame didn't have failed engine mounts, but it did have a hole so its being replaced.

So we'll both have the updated engine mounts with the new frame?

 

I'm on the west side of the city.

 

What dealership?

 

Wow, toyota take care of customer, Really good service for now! i got Gmc 1500 2014 for rental for 2 months ..

 

Good deal for you. What happens after 2 months?

 

124 2nd gen frames on backorder in canada last i heard, Mine is up at wietzes (1st gen) took 6 weeks to get a frame in and that was with 12 on backorder

 

I hope my truck is ready after 2 months, he's gonna extend my rental if not !!! Back order again on frame ..

 

Still no news at all on my frame, not even a hint of an ETA. I drove it around the lot again today and hit the suspension components with some fluid film.

 

3 month update. Err, ummm, no update. Dealer has no idea on when the frame will be made, let alone arrive. The battery in the truck was dead so I pulled it and left it on a trickle charger for a week at home. No sense putting a new battery in at this point. I will just bring cables every time I visit.

No offence intended to those minivan owners out there but the rental minivan I'm driving is doing serious damage to my street cred., and my soul.

Oh and don't tell my truck, but I've been checking out the 3rd Gen forum...

 

Same thing happenned to me, and this winter , my truck started with no problem at -40. I think toyota gonna paid for my new battery. It's not my damn problem, my truck run number one before i left it !!!

 

The dealership here got a truck load of frames in a couple weeks ago.

 

And 7 days later, after the dealer had zero information, my frame arrived.
