Tundra engine recall - interesting news

I would like more information also. Just received a trade offer of for my 2023 sr5 with the 14” screen an 61,000 miles. Of $35,000. Towards a tremor xlt

 

So yes I have suddenly seen a suddenly dramatic decline in MPG. Just waiting for that hammer to fall. I Am so pissed at Toyota. A trusted brand. I am left with a truck that I paid $75k and is half that at best with the new engine at trade engine Value even when replaced. I intended to keep this truck for over at least 10-12 years. As I have every truck I have I have owned , just sad

 

I mean yeah sure, I get it, times are a changing. Bruce turned into a Caitlyn. Ryan is now... Ryanne?

 

That's funny, Ryanne is my daughter's name! But she doesn't have a Tundra

 

That’s Ok. Most people commenting on here doesn’t have one.

 

After just over three month of waiting, I got this from the dealer today:

"Morning [ShShSh]! Great news. Parts are here. We are looking at Thursday night/ Friday afternoon for completion time. I will text you as I know more."

I immediately responded and asked if it was a full engine replacement or short block replacement. No answer. "Parts" makes me think it ain't the whole shebang. It should just be "your new engine is here," right?

So... I've been seriously considering getting ridding of it when the new engine is put in, but this probably isn't the new engine. Christallmighty.

Stupid question, but I figure none of us is as dumb as all of us, so: What's the consensus on this? Is this a replaced engine or a patched engine? Would you be pleased with this if it were your truck?

 

At this point it makes no sense for Toyota to put in a short block rebuild only to yank the thing out again in a few months and toss in a long block but who knows.

 

If only the man could post directly here

 

NO!!! I was hoping I was in the clear having the newest part #'s lol

 

careful, you might get in trouble for posting his info

 

I got a kick out of him liking your post about him. Lol!

 

Is Ryan back on here?

 

no

 

Nope. Just some guy spreading fake news about tow hooks.

 

If that’s the case then these replacement engines aren’t clear… that is just going to dig this grave deeper if that’s the case.

 

He does say shirt blocks. Recall engines are long blocks. Maybe something different between the two? Not sure.

 

An engine assembly, or a long block, both utilize a short block to make them what they are, so in any case, a short block related issue is going to be present on some or all V35A that is coming out of TMMAL.

 

Ryan, can you please pm me all the juicy details? I am close to deciding on a new tundra with the 2.9% financing for 72 months. Should I keep what I have and get a new engine, or go for the great interest rate??

 

Not Ryan.

 

Could it be that these short blocks are for non recall replacements. Are the newer trucks and hybrids getting this?

 

While I did miss that,

this is still true.

 

If you can score that deal on a 25, and the dealer gives a fair price on the 22, then why not ?

 

Agree. That 2.9 for 72 months is very tempting.

 

I'm thinking the same thing. Of course, TRD Pros are excluded.

 

Sounds like some great deals out there. Up here the prices are tighter and rates are higher. With all the lots being full and the new models coming out, I am sure that deals can be sweetened even more.
