Re: Please help no warranty again????????????

try an induction service thats what we do over at lexus. we pour some **** into the fuel tank. take off the trottle body and clear it with a rag that has trottle body cleaner on it and wipe clean. then put it all back together and run the "sea foam" throught a vacuum port gently without burnning up a O2 sensor.
PM me and i can maybe get some of that toyota sea foam stuff for you

Re: Please help no warranty again????????????

What dealer are you going to? Try Scott Toyota, they seem to not F around and just take the warranty work. They have replaced a few things for me that other dealers would have laughed at.

So what is everybodys thoughts i am tired of cough money out of my ass to fix a brand new vechile.
First go to a differnt dealer! ask the guys around you who is good. Secound the hole throtel body dirty and going bad is bull crap I think even if your AFE wasn't doing its job good what about the secound filter? But any ways get some throtel body cleaner and start cleaning it your self not much to a throtle body just a butter fly valve & springand a sencer ont eh out side. Make sure to get the outside of it to there might be some dirt or mud build up on the spring that is holding it back or somthing. But I think what your problem might be is not the throtel body but your MAF (Mass Air Flow senser) if the AFE is a cleanable filter that you oil you need to be careful some times if the filters are over oiled and not dryed out right they can destory the MAF try to clean the MAF first Be very careful if you do it is a very sensitve part that can break realy easy and its expansive. Then get rid of the oiled filter and get a dry one I don't think the oiled filters are worth it on new cars with the damage that can happen if there not cleaned right. And also like what was mentioned in a diffrent thread they have to cover it enless they can prove that the intake was the cause might be a fight but they have to. But again go to a diffrent dealer first!

Rear link I got nothing for you on this but try a diffrent dealer not sure how it could break and I think this is the first time I have heard of one breacking.

Front link try a diffrent dealer fiirst. But ya not sure how it broak I was talking to frog & Ollie about this on are way to Moab after Ouray and think about what would cause it. My feeling on it are that it might have to do with the extra weight of after market bumpers adding to the force they are taking in full compression and drop. I belive you and Gon2srf are the only ones to have this problem and it has been with Donahoe's, Walker Evans(allpro) and know OME so it is not issalded to just one brand of suspension manufactor. One thing I do know is that both of you push your vehicals very hard even if it brock during an easy thing there might have been weekend during the hard stuff till the easy stuff finnly took it out.

Sorry to here about your problems, I hope you can get it worked out but again.
GO TO A DIFFRENT DEALER FIRST!

Talking Re: Please help no warranty again????????????

thanks buddie yea they had their corp peeps there when i went back to Kim the customer service rep and i talked to them as they circled my rig.

I explained some of things that were going wrong and i did nothing to major on the mods, same answers that some stuff is just not covered.

Going with limit straps up front and rear link agurement went to fixing it for free.

But a pulley is craping out so i am have it fixed next.

Throttle bodie clean no check engine light but still have a code for the mass air sensor what a price whole crap.

THanks again for all the responses.

Re: Please help no warranty again????????????

Ya the mass airflow sensor is very sensity. it doens't like oils or dirt. If the AFE filter is oiled I say get rid of it and get a dry one its not worth the wory and price of a new MAS if its not oiled right.

Limit straps I think are a realy good idea.

Glad to hear there going to help with the rear link.
Good luck with the rest of it Jason.
