I totally porked myself today.
I'm prepping the rig for a family vacation (a few thousand miles) and thought I'd hit the transmission fluid complete exchange... I just did the differentials and the transfer case....
I own the FSM. I could not find the transmission drain plug torque spec, and the OCD part in me must have a torque spec for everything. I inadvertently used the torque spec for the manual transmission and I stripped the damn drain plug!
I am still in disbelief. Of course its a Saturday evening and there are no transmission pans on the East coast according to my dealer. So the LC will stay at home for our trip and I get to feel like the worlds biggest jack-ass.
So to get to my question: What in the hell is the proper torque spec for the transmission drain plug?
[The overflow port is 15 ftlbs. But then I saw some folks on Tacoma world talking about 65 inch lbs! So what it is??
