    No, not at all, not even close to Yes. You're more likely to get air added to tires along with a frame...

    So tell us more....

    the previous owner said he did not know about the crankshaft but there is an oem label on it-the frame was replaced 6-19 so I guess I will check with the dealer. Thanks! Merry Christmas!!

    You do know a crankshaft is inside the engine and it won’t be visible or did you remove the oil pan to check for an unlikely label? Did you mean driveshaft? Or is there a charge for crossing the bridge?

    Merry Christmas!

    I put a new crankshaft in with every other oil change. So 10k miles. With a frame replacement you’d want at least two new cranks dropped in.

    O.K. The guy is joining on CHRISTMAS DAY. Merry Christmas young man. I'm with rebmo. You do mean driveshaft (the thing that takes the power from the back of the transmission to the rear wheels. Correct? If you're unsure then let us know what other information you have.

    Could it be an early 5.7 crankshaft recall replacement sticker?

    I think that only affected a couple dozen 07's.

    Welcome and Merry Christmas. I’m going to assume you meant the drive shaft. If that’s the case then it a possibility it was changed during the frame replacement. Post up a pic!

    Thank you all! Absolutely-I meant Drive Shaft. So it is possible that this was replaced at the Dealer when they replaced the frame in June of 2019. I am visiting the dealer today. Thanks again Tundras.com responders. Now, the question is, why do I hear a whining noise coming from back there and no, it is not my wife in the back seat! :)

    If there is whining, does it get louder when power is applied and gets quiet when letting off the gas?

    If so, it could be the differential.

    Crankshaft, Driveshaft. Same thing but different name for the same part. I am not sure why folks on here think the crankshaft is in the engine.

    The whine may be the diff itself. Driveshafts are not replaced with the frame unless the customer paid for it. That sticker looks factory to me. But there should be a date code on it

    Ikr. Usually it's between the seat and the steering wheel.
