Question about newer V6's

Has anyone here had to bring there newer trucks in for repair work they thought was kind of odd for a newer truck. I'm a new poster, but have been to the site a few times and figured someone here may be in the same boat. I just got my 03 TRD back from getting the throttle body replaced becaused it had seized. Ive got 33,000 miles on it and i thought that was kind of odd to need this replaced already. Just curious if this has happened to anyone else here.

i hope this was warranty work and didnt cost you anything... the throttle body should not ever seize...... i have had several cars all with throttle bodies with well over 100k on them and never a problem with throttle bodies....

I had the throttle body sensor (whatever that is) replaced at 60K

That would have been the Throttle Position Sensor or the Idle Air Control Valve..

Supposedly they had never heard of such an engine code, or this problem on a new truck. Fortunately is was warranty work.
