swapping 09 for 010

im trading in my 09 for an 010 and was at the stealership on sunday and asked about my tsb leafsprings i had on the 09. the same service guy who had no prob helping me get them on my 09 was singing a different tune when i asked to get them on my new one. any 010 owners have the rear spring tsb done yet? he told me when he talked to corporate they said they are not having problems with the 010's but im sure they have not changed out the leaf spring packs from the 05's on and the 010's have only been out for a few months now? he said if i could prove to them they are faulty springs he would help me from there to try to get them. im gonna go pick up the new truck on fri and there is a home depot real close so i was thinking of going to buy some crap to throw it in the back show him then go return it back to home depot. any recomendations on what i should load up the bed with?

 

why did you trad yur 09 for 010?

 

x2

 

some 16 year old side swiped me and i dont want the rig anymore. the guys at the dealership gave me a hell of a deal on the trade in because the wreck isn't on the carfax yet.

 

good deal!

 

Does the rear spring TSB includes 2010s now? If not, I think corporate is right. Why bother on TSB at the moment. It's the latest model, Toyota must have fixed the issue right from factory.

Enjoy your new ride and if you are having problems, go back to them and ask for it. Then, the TSB will be updated.

My .02 cents...Good luck.

 

my springs are the same part numbers as the one's covered by the TSB but I have yet to persue the replacement.

 

If it has three leaf springs, then tell them you want it done or you are not taking delivery. See how bad they want a sale!

 

x2 i would request before you sign, you have no leverage once you walk off the lot.

 

Are we really calling it 010 now?

because 2010 is too long???

To the op: take it back in a week and tell them it's riding hard or take it to another dealer to get it taken care of.
