Are you sure they even put the old crush washer back on?All of the instructions I’ve seen for checking ATF levels say to replace crush washer. Not sure how else fluid would come out of the check.
No not really. It is possible. It could have fallen off while he was holding the bolt. He took the bolt out, we stood there and watched the fluid drip out, he put the bolt back in.Are you sure they even put the old crush washer back on?
It is still at the dealership. Haven't heard anything. Last I heard still waiting on the Toyota field tech to check it out. The dealer did say they drained and replaced the ATF and put a new crush washer on. So the leak should be fixed. On some FB group there are several people saying they have the same issues.did you get a resolution on this yet, JDubTaco?
My window sticker says :Might be interesting to find out what plant these trucks were assembled at.
That is the issue I am finding.This performance problem with these gen3 tacos has been reported by quite a few owners, yet it seems still unresolved why some trucks run great while others not so much. I know a tech at a dealer here, and even he hasn't got an answer. Guys complain about it, yet after the truck is evaluated they say it's normal. Where's toyota god when you need him?
Same as I've heard from another gen3 taco owner here. I can't say about vehicles made there, but i've worked on a lot of less than stellar items that were made in mexico.My window sticker says :
Final Assembly Point: Baja Calif, Mexico
Just got a call from dealer. Toyota told me on phone last night they were still waiting on the field rep. Dealer just told me they ran all the tests Toyota has told them to run and reported the results. Toyota said nothing is wrong with the truck. The dealer is not very happy about it because he knows the truck is not driving right and he knows it is a valid complaint he has seen several times but Toyota will not do anything about it. He is going to reflash/reset learn values just because he wants to do all he can. He even explained to them, like I did, that we test drive another one that drove normal. So anyway, gonna start talking with the OTT tuner guy for my area. Not sure what else I can do because it is just terrible to drive. Hopefully next update will be that OTT fixed my issue and truck is perfect now.Yeah, inquiring minds must know.
Having the same issue with my 23 TRD Sport. The OTT tune didn’t fix problem. Did you end up finding a fix for the problem?Saw someone else mention this elsewhere, but there was no discussion on it so I figured I'd mention it here. If I am driving along at 50mph and then increase speed slowly as to not drop a gear the truck seems to sputter. Ive only noticed it from 50-60mph. I'm thinking it's normal and this may be part of what some people complain about and that the OTT tune fixes. My truck is a 2023 TRD Off-Road V6 about 7000 miles.
