FLEX PLATE NOW FIXED :)

Anyone have a flex plate go bad on them?
my truck is making noise at 166K miles .
Pretty sure my flexplate is cracked.

I'll try to make a Video of the noise its making.


NOT my Video.
But my noise sounds just like this.

Also

Do I get the Flex plate from the Dealer? Or is Autozone ok?

 

My went bad, It cracked in two spots made terrible noise at idle. Ended up buying another at a junkyard. I would be worried buying an aftermarket one. Dealer told me upwards of 500

 

Over the years I have seen a few break not often but it does happen

Was that price for just the flex plate or did it include installing it as well ??

 

Shit man 500 For a Flex plate wow. I'll call today.
The truck might have to sit for a while.
With child support killing my paycheck I can barely afford gas in my car to go to work and food for the week. So a 500$ flex plate is not somthing I can do anytime soon.
At least I can do the work my self .



Just called Toyota of Poway 326$ for a flex plate. wow

 

I called Up Cal mini truck in Montclair got a good used one for $50

 

All fixed

Found a used plate for 25$
Did the Rear main seal while i was in there.
I talked to guy guy that owned the truck before me. This happened once before a few years ago.
Im hoping this one last's a while

 

I really hope the correct bolts are in there twice in 15 years gotta be a reason

 

I used new bolts from the dealer.
I hope thais is the last time I have to do this.
It was a pain inthe ass without the correct tools.
Maybe the Supercharger is to much for the Flexplate? I have no idea.
