They are bringing some Bear Claw armored hum-v thing to our common area next week. And breaking out the drones. I will get pics and report back...

 

Nice. Just did that prior to heading to the ATR

 

Looking forward to changing fluids and swapping out this stuff over the weekend

 

Any idea what is happening here with these dash lights??? Have not had a chance to check the owners manual. No codes tripped. Several of them flash. ABS stays solid. Everything is normal after restart...thanks

 

I had that happened and it was because my my Wheel Speed censor harness broke. I had no ABS,4 whee drive, and no traction control.

 

Thanks for letting me know what happened to you. Yeah it does it randomly now and all I have to do is shut it off and it's normal. It says "multi-terrain select is unavailable" on the center screen when this happens. I'm taking it to the dealer Monday

 

How many miles on that? Hard to tell on Mobil but looks a little dirty?

 

That is a big briefcase!
Looks like camping time.
Congratulations!

 

14,260
That’s the original fluid. No hard driving or anything. I fully expected it to look like that. My 2015 Tacoma looked the same way when I changed it- albeit, that was at about 25k miles.
I’ll sleep better knowing it’s done. Next up is the front diff. I suspect it looks the same. Transfer case most likely looks like new

 

Thanks!

 

Where’d you pick up the fluid?

 

15 min from me

 

Are you in the midwest?
I-29 has done that twice this year. Very big losses in the economy. Very sad.

 

It’s from my local dealer. I actually didn’t pay a single penny for any of it or the oil for my oil change. They “gifted: it to me after I went in for an oil change, sat for an hour, was told they changed the oil- yet they did nothing. I’m sure my response to the situation that I had absolutely zero faith in them and to just give me the damn oil I’ll change it myself had a little impact

 

Why 140? I thought spec was 90.

 

Dealer claims this is what I’m supposed to run. Got it on paper

 

Curious. I need to double check my manual now because i bought 75W-90 planning to do both diffs in my 4R. Assumed spec was same as my Tacoma was.

Running 140 wont hurt it if spec is 90 but i dont want to run too thin if spec is 140.

 

I put 75 w 90 in my Tacoma and was happy but now ya got me curious what the manual calls for - exactly

 

I was just looking in the 2010 service manual and it says 75W-85 for diffs. Closest thing easy to find is 75w-90. I ran 75w-140 Lucas non-synthetc in Tacoma on recommendation from ECGS. Never noticed a downside to the heavier stuff.

 

I’m not sure why the dealer pushed this weight. It’s gonna bug me now and I’ll have to call and find out lol
I asked when I was there originally and they swore this was correct. May have to walk in with the book in hand

I wonder if they changed it for the 2018’s or somewhere close to that
