They claimed no intercooler leak for me. So I told them I'll see them in a few hundred miles.

I am getting a new tonneau cover

Said I didn't have the clunk. Which really means that I need to be more prepared next time. I'll bring the TSB # and practice making the noise. Then I'll take the service writer for a ride.

I asked about air filters, and he advised that I get a K&N for it.

And last, they tried getting a half tank of gas out of me for the loaner car, since the last guy didn't bring it back full.

Thanks anyhow for everyone's help with my intercooler list, I will be posting it over at BON as per whitelightin's suggestion.

S__t, Tundra, if Cal says you don't have no intercooler leak, you don't have no intercooler leak. Just keep refilling the reservoir til the damned engine fails and then let Cal install an '01 motor with the new intercooler on it.

Tundra,

If anyone there at Cal's seemed to know what is going on , (with anything) give me his name please! It will save me time and grief when I bring mine in for servicing.

Thanks-

Hey, I told them to order one, showed the service writer pictures of someone elses Lightning taken all apart, thanks PBGas. HE said they pressure tested it, let it idle, warm up, and still no notice of a leak. Ohwell, I didn't get the 7yr/100k warranty for nothing, I figured something would happen.

PS his name is Mike Ray # 257-2189 you know the area code. Also said my front end bolts were tight. I tried...

Tundra, obviously they don't have a clue. Sounds like they are looking for an external leak. Tell them to put some tracer dye in the intercooler reservoir, drive it for a while, and then have them UV the exhaust tips, or pull a plug and UV it. And or, insist they call Jake Doff at the Tech Hot Line, and he will give them the scoop.

 

Nice work on the intercooler list!!
