Helped a friend do some work on his; if I remember correctly, nearly all the oem replacement parts he ordered had made in USA on it. A Japanese truck is the most American truck you can buy in 2018.TheDeckMan wrote: ↑Tue Jan 15, 2019 6:27 am Have a 2010 Tundra for the shop truck, been rock solid even with the supercharger setup on it. 135k miles and chugging along.
How's the frame holding up on icy roads? Do you use a Fluid Film or any other coatings?
Wash it a couple times a year, frame is like new with it being fluid filmed every couple years. A little rust snowing on the roof where my old man put some clearance lights in and did not paint the holes after. Had one axle break from getting stuck with the v-plow on it and thrashing to get it out. It actually broke the cv into little tiny bits.
Only other real issue had been two faulty steering racks when it was under warranty in the early years. Would blow the seals out of the ends of the rack. Oil changes every 10k and plugs every 50k miles, did all drivetrain fluids at 50k/100k. Overall a stout truck with 500hp/550tq. Thus the other GMC work truck will be getting replaced with a Tundra.
