    Sometimes it is less pain in the ass to do it yourself.
    I bought the Toytech 2" when we had the group buy a short time ago.
    Little bit of work to install but woth it to me as at the time they were not accepting 09s yet for the TSB.
    Plus the piece of mind of doing the install myself.

    And that is what you tell them , then ask them to do the fix or for them to get 1000 pounds and load it and then unload it when finished , or just fix it to keep a customer

    sounds like your extended warranty is through somebody other than toyota.

    Wow, I would complain to the owner and to toyota corp about her. All I had to do was walk in and say the truck bottoms out. They said ok, we'll call you when the parts are in.

    No when my dad bought the truck he got the warrenty through Toyota...I called him and he said, "I got the best warrenty they had". He even said I was supposed to get a loaner car. But when he sold me the truck he said he'll give me the warrenty aswell.

    None yet! It's new!
    Hey, you don't want a loaner anyway.... the accelerator pedal could press down all by itself and the car could go uncontrolable on you! Bwaaahahahahaha. What a joke.

    Seriously, good luck with the dealer. Sounds like a jerk.

    Now that was champion Toyota nO wait You said CHAMPION TOYOTA and they're near Pasadena, Tx PASADENA TEXAS right...... Just something to remember and pass on...... It sure would be nice if CHAMPION TOYOTA would act like customer service is important


    The Dealer that you use is this one right? "Champion Toyota Gulf Freeway 11711 Gulf Freeway Houston, TX 77034"

    Next time try this one, Mike Calvert Toyota 2333 South Loop West P. O. Box 2429 (zip 77052-2429) Houston, TX 77054 (it looks to be about 13-14 miles away)

    You are really lucky you have 5 Toyota Dealers with in 20 miles... I only have one (thankfully a good one) with in 20 miles

    i tried 2 different toyota dealers, both said,"that not a recall, just a technical bulliten", even called a third dealer, left a message for service manager, who had helped another tw member, (and that member told me who to call). scott (tw member) had no problem getting tsb done, i on the other hand never received a call back. the h@#$ with it, i bought a 1 1/2 aal, put it on myself, screw the dealerships!

    The adjuster they are sending out probably works for the extended warranty company and he needs to approve the repair. However, just the attitude of that dealer would want me to take it somewhere else if possible.

    Aftermarket dealer warranties will usually send out an adjuster. Factory extended warranties are usually handled by the dealer or a rep from the manufacturer if there is a question about the coverage.
