HEAD GASKET WAS REPLACED BY DEALER AT NO COST,BUT I ALSO NEEDED TO REPALCE THE TIMING BELT ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. THE DRIVE TRAIN HAS A WARRANTY FOR 60,000 MILES,AND I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR SIX YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. YOU WOULD THINK THE TIMING BELT SHOULD BE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE WITH A TRUCK WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. MY EXTRA WARRANTY WAS USELESS IN THIS MATTER ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. IF I DIDN'T HAVE IT FIXED THEY WOULD SAY I DIDN'T DO PROPER MAINTANCE TO THE TRUCK MAKING MY WARRANTY VOID.I WAS IN A CATCH 22 SITUATION. IFEEL THE DEALER OR TOYOTA SHOULD REFUND MY $185 FOR INSTALLING THE TIMING BELT.

RENEWED MY REGISTRATION SEPT 18 2012, BUT THE FRAME DIDN'T PASS INSPECTION, TOO MANY HOLES AND THIN WALLS ON THE FRAME. ALL OF THE FRAMEWORK JUST FALLING APART, REST OF THE TRUCK, DRIVE TRAIN JUST FINE. IF THE CLOTHE SEAT, WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN COVERED HAD TO PASS INSPECTION, IT WOULD EASILY! DIRTY, BUT NO HOLES OR RIPS. HOW UTTERLY RIDICULOUS IS THAT? TRIED 3 TIMES TO GET SOMEONE FROM TOYOTA TO TALK ABOUT IT, BUT THEY JUST PLAY REAL STUPID AND SAY THEY DON,T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE FRAMES ROTTING ON THE T100'S AND CAN'T HELP ME. CAN AND WILL TAKE PICTURES. *TR
