    Sounds shaddy, unless you're part of the fuel pump recall group. I'm no expert, but you could grab a can of seafoam and dump it in a full tank of fuel, as long as you read the instructions and call it a day. $10 vs 143, plus tax and environmental fees... Just my take...

    Is your truck running ok?
    Ask them what it is.
    My guess is they're dumping a $9.00 bottle of SeaFoam in your gas tank, but I'm skeptical of dealers treating things that aren't problems.

    The dealership sent it to me. It’s being serviced as we speak. I was trying to find the mechanic thread to post there but couldn’t find it.

    Service Agent looking for a commission.

    Ask them where that is on the Toyota recommended maintenance schedule. It’s just on “theirs”.

    I'm to lazy to search for it, but a few years ago a member pulled his injectors on a 200K+ mile 2nd gen Tundra and sent them in to be flow tested and rebuilt. The tech said the injectors were still in "spec" and had a good flow pattern.

    I would listen to what @Ruggybuggy is telling you. Some fuel system cleaner a couple times per year and running good fuel is all you need. Gasoline is a solvent ....

    His text message doesn’t do much to provide any confidence in his ability to follow even basic instruction.

    Yes, I'm at 110k miles and add a bottle before filling up about every 3-5k miles or so.

    When I last checked my throttle body, it was pretty clean so you may not even need it if you air filter is clean and working properly.

    It’s a sham, I am at 77k with my 2019 tundra every time I go in these guys have been bugging me to get the fuel system clean for past 36k miles. Just decline it. Use injector cleaner in full tank of gas when you are nearing oil change.
