Have these 4 cases been where the vehicles were driven in deep water?


Probably not in the dealer records. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I haven't heard anything of the sort either (and I drive mine in deep water). All I've heard or seen has been stellar.

But while we're on the subject of "snoping" the 5vz, a local shop owner (& former dealership service advisor), who's forgotten more about all generations and makes of Toyota that I could ever hope to know, told me once that the 3.4 is basically just a 3.0 block with a slightly bigger head, which is part of the reason 3.4s aren't known for the headgasket problems the 3.0s routinely had. Sure they all got recalled, but the actual problems with the 3.4 by all reports were nil compared to the earlier engine.
