What did you do to your FJC Today???
Hello All,
I've seen this thread on other forums, looks like fun...I'll get it started.
I drove my rig to work (first time I've had it out in a few weeks). Took it in for a wash..

Well, got my car back. They didn't replace the TOB. It was squeaking, which is why I brought it in.
Here is the text directly from the service record:
"Confirmed customer complaint. Found when clutch depressed there is a squeaking sound. Opened TAS case and informed toyota of concern and was advised to lube diaphragm and recheck.
When clutch is pressed noise goes away.
As per TAS, lubed diaphragm with grease. Started vehicle and no more squeak is heard when clutch is depressed or pressed. Test drove vehicle again and found while driving squeak came back. Called TAS again and was told to remove transmission and inspect. Removed Transmission. Inspected throw out bearing and fork. and found pivot ball rusted and has lack of lubrication. Was advised to clean up rust and apply grease. Cleaned rust and applied grease. Reinstalled transmission and test drove and found no more squeak when driving. Pivot ball not accessible with transmission in for lube. Drove vehicle ten miles and no squeak coming from transmission at this time."

So no surprise here.
Woke up yesterday morning to head to Tahoe. Noise is back. Called my rep (who was out the day I got my car back), and his first words were, I figured you'd be back. He read the report and was himself disgusted with what went down. He said he's never taking a day off again, and I have to say, the first time I went to this dealer, I was given the rep that stood in for him, I never went back to him. Found a great rep, and never went to anyone else until he left the company. My new rep is his replacement, and although this situation is unfortunate, he has always been on top of things and stays in contact. I would never go to this other again (Eli-Dublin Toy).
ANyways, he said pulling the tranny and doing NOTHING, was stupid. Told me to bring it in Monday, they'd give me a rental, and he's not letting it leave the dealer until he's positive that it is fixed.
Works for me.

Changed oil, check fluids, check any leaks, and took exhaust and cats off and check for clogs. Due to FJ getting stuck in the mud 4 months ago...ARGH might need new Cats
