side panel cracking issues FINALLY SOLVED!

[MsXrunner420]

So here’s the deal.. about 6 months ago.. I went to Toyota, cause my side bed panel was loose and making a clicking noise:thumpdown:
Every time I went over a bump or any little curb.they said , they were working on a Resolution at this time,, it may take upto 5 months.... So I got a call this morning, from Toyota , the manager said toyota has came up with some new inside panel’s and my order has been placed!
The entire inside panel of my bed will be replaced! :top: I mean sh!t after 6 months! I’m glad they finally got that figured out:motz: ..
Incase anyone else was having the same problem.. :top:

What side panel are you talking about exactly... im just dumb and don't understand what your talking about :biggrin:

 

[Troskey]

glad to hear your problem is getting fixed...thanks for the heads up tho!!

I remember hearing about this issue. Glad that they finally came up with a resolution. I'm sure that the discontinuing of the X-Runner has nothing to do with Toyota's speedy resolution to problems with the vehicle or TRD's constant pursuit of new modifications for the truck. :thumpdown:

So there is a TSB? Do you have a #?

it didnt take them 5 months to figure mine out ... the main tech guy took my X for a drive and he heard it as soon as we left the dealer ... and wham ... no more clicking ... but i still left my truck there for 3 days cuz i had the clutch TSB done :biggrin:

The tech guy said yes he was able to hear it,
But the manager said to wait till Toyota actually comes out with something.. Or they can just pretty much try to glue it back together.. I said,, No I’ll just wait.. Either way it was under my warranty

i have this annoying squeak in my front suspension.. i don't know what it is, but i need to figure it out. im not sure if i should remove the drop kit first even though it didn't mess with anything that would squeak..
