I’m typically not a hoarder of parts .

Next you'll try and convince me the earth is round.

A few things on my punch list for SAS9. Fluid changes to Amsoil and all new Toyota hardware for the brakes. I got lazy last year driving over the passes to SAS8 and boiled my brakes coasting downhill with a trailer. Since then I’ve had pedal pressure issues at high elevation. I’m sure a strong “power bleed” could resolve this, but committed to swapping out to OEM parts. The oil was compliments of a really good guy in Wimberly that has a 6 figure built HJ60 and he could not get it to start. Someone gave him my name so I stopped by and it ended up being a bad fuel primer pump. Just happened to have a spare new one in my glove box so he was good to go. He happens to own a large commercial contracting company and has a fleet of trucks. So he’s an Amsoil distributor and source’s his product direct to service his fleet. I would not take any payment for my time and then these box’s showed up at my door a week later .
Those that know me well understand I do not spend much time researching things. Especially what oil is the best etc…but I’ve never heard anything bad about running this product so I figure I’ll give it a shot.

Is that gear oil GL-4 or GL-5?
I was wondering on a H55, what will you recommend

I think I figured out a potential brake issue. Rear passenger brake was smoked. All other three corners looked great. I did trade out the Oriellys parts for Toyota parts. Still keeping the aftermarket rotors and drums. Except for the rear drivers which will get a new one under warranty. I last changed these rear brakes December of 23.

Good call

Completely agree. I was told to bring in the one drum and pad set for the warrantee exchange and when I picked it up today they gave me two drums and a complete rear brake pad set. I let them know the drivers side still looks new (very few miles in 18 months) and the counter guy told me he was doing a complete warrantee exchange. Said not to worry about returning the DS core. I’ll save it incase I get a call .
