Thanks for the update! Do you know what they did with the other 3 LCs that has the same noise?Just got an update that Toyota is ordering a short block and it's on order for a September 13th-15th arrival. I just asked again if there was a determination on what the issue was. Waiting to hear back still.
I'll let you know. Hoping the 3.0L raptor engine is a little better built. No engine issue on my 2.7L Bronco I had. 33K miles tho before I got rid of it.
I plan on changing fluids more often than recommended. I think that's what you were suggesting.
