I guess it all depends on where you live, what dealer you go to and how you approach it. It's probably true that they get paid to do the work but I am from a big city and my dealer is extremely busy. I couldn't come in demanding to have the TSB done. I had to be polite, use my manners and explain that I wasn't happy with my suspension and that is why I tried to modify it in the first place. And we all know that it IS in the fine print that we are no longer under warranty if we place any aftermarket products on our Tacomas. Knowing that many of us have still attempted, and succeded in getting the TSB done. All I can say is if you are going to try and get it done, approach the situation catiously and informed! Good luck.

That's not true. You are still under warranty. A dealer won't warranty the part you put in, but it should still cover factory parts. The only way they can deny a warranty claim is if THEY can prove that the part you put in caused the problem.

Is the harsh ride TSB apply to CANADA as well, I have a 2006 SR5 DC 4x4 and it only has the 3 leaf pack ... does it qualify to have the Harsh ride TSB done, 4 new shocks and 4 leaf pack...??

thanks

I never knew that. I was always told that placing aftermarket parts voids warranties. Thanks.

Some 05-08 Tacomas had weak rear leaf packs. Toyota issued a TSB for replacement leaf packs. You can tell if the rear leaf packs have been replaced as the new ones have 4 leaves (3 main+1 overload), while the "stock" have 2 main springs and 1 overload.

Ahh, thanks.... hopefully that can knock another $500 off the price i'm looking at since it's used and at a chevy dealer...... for one time I hope something IS wrong with a truck I'm looking at.

the thing that u need to fight is the fact that u added the AAL to fix the flawed leafs that they have been putting on the truck since 05. and regardless of the AAL, its still their springs that they already know are bad. the AAL didnt break or harm the leafs into needing to be replaced.
