I would never due to pressurized "flush" on a machine. It's not hard to DIY a full exchange at home. I do one every 30-45K by dropping the pan, cleaning the pan and magnets (it will be full of crud), replacing the screen/filter (after all, a new...
Hey everyone,
After diving deep into the technical side of my 2023 GX460 Luxury with MTM (non-off-road package), I wanted to share my findings regarding the possibility of retrofitting Crawl Control and Multi-Terrain Select (MTS) into a...
I have had 2 Tundras and the 2020 4runner with the 6112 and have really liked them. I did find the 4runner to be a little bouncier riding than the Tundras on road. I'll prolly just do the 0.9" on the 6112s on the front, as much as I want to do...
I went with a Dobinsons IMS, 2" lift on my 2017. Have about 50k miles on it and haven't had to touch it. I purchased from Exit Off-Road. They recommended the medium weight springs (352/327) for my setup (CBI front bumper, sliders, aluminum skids...
Ironman if you want to spend money. a lot of people use Bilstein 5100’s as a budget setup but they don't in front lift without preload. Dobinsons makes a nice 2” setup. All three of those are no maintenance. Ome also great and no maintenance I...
Regarding shocks, avoid performance shocks that have to be rebuilt every 15,000 miles or so, read: Fox, Icon, etc. Usually they'll be with external reservoirs.
I had Icon's for about 7 years and every couple years I was building them at hundreds...
You keeping the 8.0? If you are going through the effort of a re-gear and locker, I would strongly (no pun intended) advise an 8.2 swap instead with 4.56 gears (this is the highest aftermarket gearset offered for a 8.2). By far the best money...
I don't agree with the CCN and what he is saying does not match my experience at all. IMO the "don't change all of your transmission fluid" is an old wife's tale. I certainly like many of the CCN videos, but he catastrophizes on fluids, non-OEM...
I agree. Let me add, though:
The evidence is the drain and fill is dirtier = "worse." Hard to argue that. Any oil analysis will show the drain and fill has dirtier oil due to the volume/ratio of new oil difference. You would have to test it...
Not sure my post end up in the correct thread here, but... :)
Mine (as all of these in Europe) has the 2.8 diesel. Bit boring, but works...
Thx - yes, nature is great in Sweden. Very similar to Canada, or parts of Alaska, I think. Allowed...
I would do a simple drain and fill. That will change out 3-4 quarts and gently introduce new fluid, avoiding a shock to the system. Repeat later as necessary.
Anyone sharing these in a specific thread? I changed my trans fluid at 114,000 miles for the first time and thought I would share. No problems before or after - feels like smoother gear changes now but could be in my head.
