WHEN I DRIVE OVER A BUMP EVEN A SMALL ONE THE LEAF SPRINGS BOTTOM OUT, BUT WORSE WHEN SOME ONE IS RIDING WITH ME. NEVER COULD LOAD MY CAMPING GEAR IN WITH OUT IT DOING THIS. LEAF SPRINGS ARE WEAK. SEEN RECALL BUT DEALERSHIP WONT REPLACE LEAF SPRINGS FOR ME. MY SHOCKS ARE GONE BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T MADE TO TAKE ALL THE LOAD. 1/4 TON LEAFS SPRINGS DON'T SUPPORT A 1/2 TON VEHICLE. CORVALLIS WAS WHERE I TOOK IT THE LAST TIME, BUT THEY SAID HAVE TO WAIT FOR FIX? MY FEAR OF THEM BREAKING AND A CRASH HAPPEN AND OTHER PEOPLE GET CAUGHT UP IN IT AND SOME ONE LOSE A LIFE. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET THIS FIXED? TIRED OF THE B.S. THEY SAY. CAN YOU HELP WITH THIS ARE AM I GONNA NEED A LAWYER? I GUESS IF YOU CAN'T MAKE THEM FIX IT THEN BOTH OF YOU ARE GUILTY OF THIS PROBLEM,YOU NOT MAKING THEM FIX IT, THEM FOR NOT.

STEERING
POWER STEERING IS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT. I CHECKED A TOYOTA FORUM AND THIS SEEMS TO BE COMMON. THE PROBLEM IS THE LOWER INTERMEDIATE SHAFT UNIVERSAL JOINT IS EXPOSED TO ROAD SALT AND SPRAY AND SEIZES UP. SO AT TIMES THE STEERING IS TOUGH THEN IT EASES UP AND DOES NOT RETURN TO CENTER AFTER A TURN. LIKE I SAID THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WELL KNOWN TO THE FORUM. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM! 77,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK.
