No big deal... you make an appointment drop off your truck and a few hours later you get it back with a brand new centre link... just make sure they have'nt forgotten the cotter pins on the castled nuts lol [see my previous post] the only down side is you will have to scrubb off all the loose surface rust a re-paint the front end to match...

 

so is the v6 head gasket recall over or can i still get it done?

 

no V6 recall is still in force... just drop by the dealer with your VIN and they can tell you if it was done yet or not... if not they will do it... you might want to check the status of your timing belt while there it's probably due also...

 

i called toyota to have them check to see if i could get the head gasket recall done and they said my truck wasnt covered under it.

was jus wondering is it all v6's 1989 through 95 or 90 and up

 

I thought it was almost all v6s period but your may already have been done or else the recall did not apply to all the v6s... interesting... who did you call toyota usa/canada or the dealer?...

 

Got it done a year ago, I like how the steering was before though...

 

called toyo usa customer service. i was asking if they could tell me what years exactly are affected but guy couldnt tell me squat.

 

Based on CMD93 reply in a earlier post. I took my truck to Haley Toyota/Scion of Richmond. Painless. I had been putting it off because I did not want to take my truck in to the dealer and get raked over the coals.

Great dealership. I drove across town to take it to that dealer and I would recommend anyone in Richmond VA to do the same.

 

looks like i failed inspection cause of this. steering wheel lash FTL.

 

got mine done - 0 charge. now will it pass inspection since it failed on steering wheel lash.

 

Just had this done (finally) today. No charge and a free alignment.

 

ok well the power steering recall is the steering dampner, gotta change it

 

i should take my 4runner in a see what they say.....

" umm ya i just got this 4runner and i read that there was a recall on the steering, i just want to make sure everything is safe and replaced... "

 

Trouble maker

 

Just so you know, the early v6's where not usually covered in the recall, they where produced before the swap to non esbestose gaskets.


I think I spelled that wrong...

 

esbestose = asbestos

no worries we knew what you meant.

 

yea i got a recall in the mail for it for my 94 4runner for that so i got it done

 

its yotatech, not spelltech

 

Dude! you was the one what brought it up...

 

they have had the recall for the 4runner for a long time that i know of..
