I would lube yourself up first, because they are going to stick it in you....prepare to pay $450 - $500 for 60K service.

I've always taken my vehicles to the dealer for service so if they're ever is a problem, they're the only ones that had their grubby paws on it.

I would make sure they at least did what Toyota wants you to do Toyota Parts and Service
If you feel that you got your moneys worth thats all that matters but those packages are designed by DEALERS and they do a lotta non essential BS!!

One thing you might go ahead and do is a drain-and-fill of the transmission. I don't think that is something they would normally include in the service.

I just did my own 60k service: spark plugs, serpentine belt, pcv valve, coolant change, radiator hoses, oil & filter change and transmission fluid change.

60k is the recommended interval for a valve clearance check. Ask them for a chart of the measured clearances for all 32 valves so you will have an idea if any of them will need a shim change (now or later).

So i took in my 03 V6 for the 60 k Tune-up. The Dealership let me have the 5.7 Tundra for the wknd, this is one mean Machine,it will be hard to part with...

Has this happened to anyone then end up buying the new truck?

common if ya spend over certain amount for repairs if you have a decent dealear which sounds like ya do!!

The drive train on the 5.7 s unbelievable , I think the Dealer did this intentionally knowing I would want to trade

HOGWILD · #12 (**permalink**) 09-28-2007, 10:54 PM

yep they can give you whatever they want but they are working you and driving the V6 vs the 5.7 would be tough!!
