Thumbs up Fram Recall + Blown Engine Update

Got an email today from the Walmart Claims Dept and they couldn't find the filter to prove it was FRAM's fault, so Walmart is paying for all my loan and time missed at work. I'd have to say the gentleman i dealt with was very nice, very informative and always gave me updates about everything that was going on.... Now just the 8 day countdown begins!!!

Thanks again who all posted information about the filters from Toyota and any helpful suggestions on this situation

Congrats, man. I'm glad it all worked out for you. And even better that no lawyer gets a cut of your settlement!

Yeah, that's the part i was worried about having to deal with, but like i said earlier very easy to deal with, gave me plenty of information, didn't try to blow me off when asking questions about anything....
