What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Neither. Where the pre-2019 Tundras have a thermostat mounted on the side of the transmission with hard lines and hoses that lead to a radiator cooler up front, the 2019-2021 Tundras have neither. They just have a thermostat shaped plate on the side of the transmission to block it off.

 

You are correct about not driving enough. I work out of the country about eight months of the year, hence the low mileage.

 

Thanks for the update... were they able to identify what part of the windshield was compromised (IE>> top, side, or bottom) or just got water at the footwell??

 

Just gotten water in the footwell. I'll ask what quadrant it's coming from next time I speak with the SA though!

 

Just took my second trip down to Dallas in the truck. 4 hours, ~250 miles each way. First time I averaged 17.3 both ways. This time I did better . Recently changed oil and filters. Kept it between 68-75 the whole time and around 1900 rpm. I was driving a little more conservatively than normal but not much, my speeding days are over.

 

Tell them to do it the other way around. Fill the cab with water and see where it escapes the windshield.

 

I like this! I might go this route. you got a pic of the view from the head unit?

 

Look at his post again. I see an image directly under the one you quoted showing his view from his screen.

 

Just got done installing my Bilstein 6112 at 1.9" and 5160 plus rear leafs. I go in for an alignment tomorrow and then continue to search for a topper to add.

 

I attempted to plastidip my wheels. One wheel was a failure lots of divets/small hole things the others didn't turn out to bad. And for only $35 I can't really beat it. Untill I get some new wheels anyway

 

Good looking truck. Black and blue are a good combo. If you need some inspiration or to see some quality DIY work. Check out @BlueRibbon4x4 build thread, he has a Blue Ribbon tundra and he refinished some wheels. Lots of addictive info, so be prepared lol

Thanks! I have to say I've have read through his build at least three times. Its an absolutely gorgeous truck. I'm biased on the color cause well I have it but his truck is 20/10 creme de La creme

 

You've seen all my comments then
Geno is also super amazing and will answer questions about what he has done. Just have fun and be sure you enjoy your truck!

 

Thank you! I definitely have some questions I'll be asking him soon

 

Y’all makin me blush. Niko, any questions, I gotcha man. Your truck looks great!! Great color choice!!

 

man my truck is stock so just run of the mill. Your truck looks great! Hopefully one day in the future mine will look half as good.

 

Thanks! Nothing beats that Blue Ribbon. You’re ahead of the pack already.

 

040 super white is the fastest color.... everyone knows that

 

Why would they require a deposit when the truck is still under warranty and the windshield has not been touched since the factory installed it?

 

Pops dropping the rig off for phase 3.0. This phase will include redoing the long travel suspension, frame plating ,clearancing,shock tower brace, custom intake box, GFC frame tie in, batteries relocation to the bed, water meth kit, carbon fiber front fenders and more.

Suspension will be going from total chaos LT and kings to Lsk race kit and spring under rear with ADS’s. I’ll try and document the build as best as I can. Maybe start its own build thread since it’s gone through a few iterations.

 

The word insane doesn't even begin to describe that build list.

 

Still inspecting, but they believe it's due to the frame expanding & contracting as the temperature changes during the day - affecting the seal. They want to keep it one more day and test first thing tomorrow morning when it's still cool.

They are giving me a 2023 Tundra as a loaner though; going to go pick it up in a few hours. They could never pry my v8 out of my hands, but I have been wanting to try out the new ttv6... gotta try to keep the glass half full, otherwise I might just lose my mind.

Really hoping that this is resolved, and once resolved, is the last of my issues. I tease my chevy friends way too much for them to know that my truck has now been in the shop for almost a week.

 

Some of the dealerships out there have been douchey about doing warranty work the last year or two; my guess would be they are trying to deter warranty work from tying up there bays

 

Thanks for the updates... I'm sure they'll get it resolved for you, but at least you can do a thorough test drive w/the Gen3; that would actually be kind of fun

 

I think it's required so that if they find it's due to something I did then I can't skip out on paying for the inspection done. They had me make a similar commitment when I had the battery issue, and ultimately it was not charged when they found it was a manufacturing defect.


Edit: this third gen rips! I don't think I've ever driven a turbo car, so I'm not used to the small amount of lag before it shoots off

 

Hopefully I'm doing this right trying to plastidip all the emblems

 

Try my 20 years old turbo Volvo WOOOOSH-T-T-T-T-PSHHHHH
