    Try not to get frustrated, Tim. The more you find out, the more ammunition you have for your side. :) It's hard but this will all work out for your benefit later on.

    Oh good, make sure you tell them EVERYTHING! This is awful how you have been treated. What else did you find out?

    yea at this point it looks like the stealership is in foul play. bad practice that will come to bite them in the ass later.

    will the leaf paks from a 1st Tundra work?? From what I can see they should...same width, lenght and have 4 leafs!!
    I'll bet they are a helluva lot cheaper than the paks for the Tacoma, probably get them at a salvage yard...dont ask the dealership because they will say they are different.
    Dealer told me the short end of the the front driveshaft on my 85 toyota was different than the rear....I replaced it with the short section from the rear shaft!!!

    Oooh good! Hopefully he will be able to replace them for you. Did you find out what's going on with the warranty? It's not with Toyota, who is it with?

    so called toyota of apex today, they are ordering my springs tomorrow and will call me to let me know if toyota will cover everything when they come in, if they don't cover it all, I believe I will try and get toyota to make hubert vester pay out of pocket for them
