What have you done to your Tacoma today?

The oil drain bolt comes stock with dark gray fiber washer. Your suppose to use a new blue washer when every time the oil is changed. I've seen issue's with oil leaking afterwards from the drain bolt because some guys don't clean the old washer surface off well enough before installing the new blue washer. Imo, its best to leave the old washer on. I've never seen one leak.

ok i will ask you a direct ?

do you dunk the new (or reused) fiber washer into motor oil before securing between bolt and pan
or do you put it (the fiber washer) on DRY?

word of weirdness...
the dealershop in Maine I had the oil changed in May used some plastic washer
 
Speaking of leaks, my delta kitchen faucet has been leaking. Got in the tacoma, and drove to the hardware store, and bought a repair kit for it. That led to other issues when trying to shut off the water....the shut-off valves wouldn't seal off the water, so I had to turn off the water for the entire house. The faucet repair kit fixed the leaky faucet issue for now....I'm crossing my fingers cause the insides of the faucet itself were not in good shape. I believe I'm going to need to replace it soon. Delta claims they're guaranteed for life....whose life, theirs, or mine? But it even gets better when I go to turn the water back on....all the shut-off spigots are leaking now. :mad:
 
Truck is part hungry lately. Now, it has a front wheel bearing howling at speeds above 50 mph, along with slight but perceptible vibration in the steering wheel and floor board. Still no CEL............... :rolleyes:

So, just ordered front hub assemblies for both sides. Delivery on Monday, then repairs on Saturday. Now, they just need to hold together for another 400 miles.

Exhaust is on hold, because my sources are "Out of Stock". This has fallen way down the priority list.
Tires will be replaced in November. This is #2 on the priority list.

Sounds like you're getting a lesson in when to hold them, and when to fold them. Many sell their vehicles when they reach over 100k while their still worth something.
 
Gotta hold 'em. At this point, the repairs do not exceed the value.

Shop quoted $800. I can do the labor. Part cost $160.
 
does Gen2 require the pressing of the hub and bearing into knuckle like the Gen1 4wd does
or is it a bolt-on unit?
