UPDATE....... As I mentioned in my earlier posts, my truck is booked for tomorrow thursday's appointment at a toyota dealership due to the said issues above, however yesterday,as I was waiting for my wife and kids at a clinic, I turned off the engine which I normally do especially with the price of fuel. Anyway, it did not start anymore. After phoning for roadside assistance (not from toyota----too much phone tagging and transferrring---still ended up not helping me) I got a battery boost from a tow truck (via CAA) which initially started the truck, but it died again and we proceeded to have my T4R towed yesterday at my local dealer.

By the way, here's another thread I posted regarding other concerns I have that may or may not be related to this original thread.

Again, folks, thanks in advance for any input and feedback, good or bad.
