- A Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician shares some Toyota Tacoma Common Problems from 2005-2015 and shows a very well preserved frame in the rust belt.
In this video we have a beautiful 2008 Toyota Tacoma Manual. I'll share with you a well preserved frame that was sprayed with fluid film from a very early age by the car care nut owner.
Also in this video I'll share with you some of the 2nd generation Tacoma Common Problems that you should know about if you own one or plan to buy one.
The 2nd generation tacoma is a very good truck if the frame is not rusted. very DIY friendly and very well made.

You're not just a mechanic, there is a teacher passion inside your heart ♥️.
Thanks sir.
Every Toyota owner should watch this man.
I'm actually taking the day off from work tomorrow to due some maintenance on my daughters Jeep before she heads back to college, Dads got to take care of our girls!
Good luck and have your cash or credit card ready, Jeeps are far from Toyota’s and will drain your wallet 😉
Should do a video on undercoating and rust prevention, Please!
I have it
I love Landcruisers as they are rugged and reliable. Absolute weakness is rust. Before buying my 2002 Lexus LX470 I inspected about 15 Landcruisers which were all rusted beyond repair. Why isn’t Toyota take action here??? Even my Landrovers are better protected….
@@Lordoftheflatbushmaybe they dont salt the road as much as NA in Japan
My daughter just turned 16 and I purchased her first car, a Nissan Versa with a manual transmission. There were some tears shed as she learned and she wasn’t super excited to say the least, but she has finally improved and I think she is secretly proud of herself. There is a cool factor when you can do something none of your friends can do. She won’t admit it, but she likes it now.
Sadly, Nissan reliability has dropped to that of Chrysler/Dodge/Fiat and it started with Renault’s acquisition and all the terrible “Renault engineering”. Adding Peugeot to the mix just made matters even worse. Pre-Renault, Nissan could hold its own with Toyota and Honda. Now, not even close. Tell her to baby it or else a never ending repair bill will occur.
@@ozarkliving7263 the main problem with those versas is the cvt transmission. Spencer said the Versa is a manual, and the manuals from Nissan are pretty dependable
@@ozarkliving7263 I agree, but for under $5k and under 100k miles I couldn’t find anything. The stripped down Versa has a dependable 4 cylinder engine and a dependable manual. There are no options on this, it is shockingly bare of things you don’t need and things that can break. I think it will be dependable transportation for her 2-3 mile trips to work and school.
@@Carl5379 makes perfect sense, I might have done the same thing
Keep pushing your daughter to do things her friends can't do, and she'll always be ahead of her peers.
I "got" to learn how to drive manual on a tacoma - my dad and I were at the races, a few beers and few hours later: "You're driving us home!!" as he tossed me the keys. One of my best memories!!
And back in 2008, American Toyota dealers didn't force you to pay for a 50,000 dollar trim package to get manual transmission. American Car dealers are disgusting today. The rest of the world has access to low priced Hilux with manual transmission.
Most in the USA don’t like that 3th pedal 🤔
You can Thank Obama for him passing laws on higher emissions. This is why most vehicles today are equipped with automatic transmissions.
It’s far cheaper for an automaker to produce a manual transmission rather than an automatic, so in the end, a Democrat screwed over the American people.
Manual Tacoma 2008 4x4 with low mileage and well preserved???? That is a man who has saved well for his daughter’s college education!
My dad has a 2015, out of the over 10 vehicles he has had over the years he says it’s the best vehicle he’s ever owned
I've got a 2014 Tacoma Sport Crew cab 4x4 V6 it's been the best truck I've ever owned and I've own quite a few trucks in my day, I've been fairly satisfied with my purchase and I live in the Snow belt of south central Ontario, Canada.
The center bearing needed changing by 75,000 on the '96 I have.
Great look at that drive shaft here. Fun to see the differences here.
AMD - You're content and cars are even more on point since you started the new shop. You're on fire man!
🔥
I am driving a Toyota Hilux 3KZTE diesel 4x4, which look very similar to that vehicle.
She has 500000 hard working km on the clock with no problems since new and is still going strong, touch word.
May I ask where you are driving that Hilux?
how often do you change the oil?
The frame rust topic is a big help. All my Toyotas are clean, but I love to know what to look for. I have a 2012 diesel hilux manual parked in my front yard, and I am just about recieve a 2002 Hilux manual that was abandoned in a container for 5 years (being worked over at my mechanic now, it was free). I also have a 2010 FJ cruiser, I bought for $15,000 with 40,000 KM. My brother was the former owner. FYI, I live in Chile. Hilux are one of the most sold vehicles because of the mining industry, etc. There are massive fleets, and you can pick them up at auctions.
@@steffen7624 in the begin, every 10 000km, but for last 100 000km, ever 5 000km, because I love her so much.😊
@@rightlanehog3151 I was a professional land surveyor in South Africa for 20 years and later for 30 years in Namibia.
The areas differ from the Kalahari and Namib deserts to bushfeld and other dry Karroo type areas.
I have had two C20 Chevrolets, two F150 Fords, a Land Rover Series 3, a Range Rover Series 1, three Series FJ45, one Series 60 diesel, one Series 70 petrol, one Series 80 1HZ diesel, one Series 76 1HZ, one Series 79 4L petrol, one Series 79 1HZ diesel, FJ 4L petrol, all Land Cruisers and one Fortuner 3L diesel, one 3L diesel Hilux, one 3KZTE diesel Hilux, two 2,5L diesel Hilux's and two 3L diesel Hilux's.
I retired 3 years ago and kept one 1HZ Cruiser and the 3 KZTE Hilux (my favourite) and had the Land Cruiser converted in a camper.
Wow that was a mouth full.
I had a 2008 crew cab, sold it with 349,655 miles. Toyota changed the frame at 298,000 miles under rust warranty. At that time I installed a rear axle from a 2014 as my father in law drove it too long with leaking axle seals and killed the carrier bearings. He was the prior owner.
Aside from that, the alternator, starter, engine and trans were original. He does geocaching and that truck had been to 49 states…he would’ve driven it to Hawaii if he could. Great truck.
I put a Denso starter in a 06 4runner 4.0 with 360k miles last week and guess what was in there? The original starter! 360k! Amazing!
Good video, of course. Hope you and Mrs. Carcare are well and the business is thriving. Wish I was close enough to use your services.
My uncle had one of these(06). It looked perfect outside. Interior was perfect. Frame even looked good from just bending down. You had to crawl under the truck and look at the inside of the frame near the front. It was completely gone. Like I could put my forearm into the hole bad. The rust was discovered in 2020 so past the warranty date.
This was not visible at all from the outside or just squatting and looking. That experience alone has pretty much put this gen of trucks on a no-go list for me.
@@efil4kizum
The truck was purchased in Virginia, much father south than I’d expect that level of rust. Virginia does salt roads but not nearly as much as a few hours north.
Granted, I’m not sure of the history before that and he did buy it used. It could’ve spent a decade in New York or something
Awesome video! I have a 2011 Tacoma 5 speed manual 4x4. Bought it new. Absolutely love the truck. I consider the manual transmission a theft deterrent device lol. I did have an issue with it getting stuck in 4 wheel drive low one time. Your comments about not using it often enough are spot on. Thanks for all the tips!
5 speed? I have an 08 with a 6 speed manual.
@@whonnock4752 2.7 got the 5 speed and the 4.0 got the spd
What a beautiful truck! Wow! Love that thing. Manual transmission, super clean!
I've been lucky enough that my 08 Tacoma has spent some time in Tennessee and the midwest (St Louis area about 8 years) and now here in The Carolinas. And the frame is in great shape. But many of them did rust badly in salt belt states. Yes my truck had the leaf springs replaced before I bought it. I know because whoever did the recall didn't tighten the rear leaf spring bolts on the right side. Thank god I saw that bolt hanging out before I drove it!
I feel like I should be paying tuition on these master classes.
I have an 06 Taco...it's a Colorado baby, zero rust on frame and I keep the underside treated...
Hi! I have a 2020 Tacoma and I want to make sure I’m taking care of it properly… I thought taking it to the Toyota dealer would be good but I’m quickly learning how dishonest they are!
I have recently (last week) found your channel and subscribed.
I don’t know if it’s too much trouble but could you do a video with a timeline/mileage where you tell people what maintenance they should be doing because I’m finding that I can’t trust the Toyota dealer. Not only do they not properly inform me on what I should be doing, they try to sell me products and services that I absolutely don’t need.
Even just last week I caught the Toyota dealer lying to me again and I have a good mind to go back and yell at them.
Anyway, I love your channel!
Thanks!
I think in ur glove box one of the books there is a maintenance schedule, but some services are, oil change every 5k miles, differential fluid change HAS to be changed 30k you can extend the next differential fluid change after, transmission fluid change 60k, spark plugs 60k, coolant 100k and every 50k after that, air filter and cabin filter just take a look at them not really an interval.
I have a 2019 Tacoma, I replaced every fluid in my truck before 49K, and I did my spark plugs too. I intend to have this thing for the rest of my life if possible
@@SteveB88 that’s good but I think it’s a little overkill, you don’t have to do things that early or doing things before the recommended interval
@Frank Pratt The goal of all dealers is "their bottom line. A Toyota dealership license is a money maker. Toyota intentionally restricts the number to dealers. I refuse to purchase a jap auto since the dealers insist on attaching that hand written piece of paper next to the window sticker for nitrogen air and at least 10 more B.S. addons... like paint guard.. so a 50K dollar paint job is so krappy one needs paint guard.... HOW ABOUT APPLING QUALITY PAINT AT THE FACTORY. p.s MY 1993 cheyenne's frame is still solid and it has been driven in the Mid-west rust belt and PA. TOYOTA's are over rated.by those who want to sell the one they want to sell. Try and find a 30 yr old Tundra that was driven in the mid west or PA. Yes... at a scrap yard.
He did a series, search “how to maintain your Toyota”
I own a manual 6 speed tacoma. Love it. Both my girls can drive a manual. One of my girls that is all she will drive.
Sir you are a true blessing to this world. Thank you. My dream is to build a community where we have 50 homes in a beautiful setting where I can have the top people that I want to influence my life. Sir, when I accomplish that, one will have your name on it. :) Much love brother.
Always loved manual transmission. I'm self taught! learned by taking my dad's jeep out at night when i was 13. Only got caught once, by the police, who followed me home while i drove the thing home, the good old days...
and driving a right hand drive manual for the first time messes with your brain in a really fun way.
I am always impressed with the thoroughness of your inspections and associated explanations of weak points to be aware of and monitor on a routine schedule. I have learned much about Toyota vehicles by watching your videos and will review your channel when I finally make the switch to a Toyota truck. Thank you for your service.
Great video! Love my 2006 TRD Off-Road with the 6 speed manual. I have over 233,000 miles and still running strong.
I have a 1986 Toyota pick up with the classic overheated issue. Had got overheated 3 times on all it’s 36 years.
love your reviews but really like watching you tear stuff apart and put it all back together. keep up the great work.
Your shop is 4 hours distance drive from my house if it closer i would like drop my 2021 toyota highlander XSE to do review for it
You are amazing AMD 👍
Execellent overview video on an older 2nd gen Tacoma. Thank you and keep them coming!
I’ve been coating my Tundra frame in Fluid Film once a year and having great results.
TY AMD, another rare gem to enjoy and I did enjoy it. A rare manual shift was great too see and I hope the girl will love driving her beauty and stays safe. Thanks as always for your hard work making these wonderful informative videos for us.
Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘💖💖
I have close to the same truck. 2009 2.7l manual. 223k on it. My daughter is 7, but I plan on keeping this baby going for her. Probably will be it’s 3rd engine by then, but ones gotta have goals right 🤣
thanks for the rear spring info. bought an 06 a few years back because it had a brand new frame and more. it has the updated springs.
Outstanding video….. very informative. I’d say that frame was coated from looking at it. And I’d not heard of u-joint indexing. Thanks for the effort in making the video !
Thoroughly enjoyed the overview! Really nice looking Tacoma there with the manual shift! I first learned driving from my older bro's manual Datsun as a teen & glad I did. They're fun...bottom line! Got my son a white 2006 4runner Sports Edition with the scoop hood 2 yrs ago and that thing runs smooth as can be. The seller who had it before sold it dirt cheap since it had a check engine light and the tc shudder. Hooked up my scan tool and it was the downstream 02 sensor error that triggered CEL. TC shudder just needed a tranny fluid drain and fill along with the internal filter changed. Did all that and some other extras like both valve cover gaskets R&R, thermostat, front & rear rotors and pads, drive belt, all six plugs, etc and ran even smoother after that. Zero frame rust from NC and zero leaks. Thanks again for another enjoyable upload!
Agreed. Manual transmission Tacomas are beautiful!! And with only 108k miles, it still has its whole life ahead of it. My third gear syncho needed to be replaced. Truth be told, I do drive the tacoma hard. So blipping the throttle and dropping into 3rd gear happened often.
I have a 2013 4cyl automatic and it has no problems. Of course, it is not hybrid, it is not AWD or 4 wheel drive, and it is not turbo. A beauty of a truck.😄
I learned to drive a manual and I love it! I admit it can be a headache in traffic but I think it's worth it
I drove automatic exclusively for nearly 20 years before I switched to manual . I always say, if I could learn to drive a manual, anyone can. In regard to headaches, I would say traffic is the cause not manual transmissions. 😁
@@rightlanehog3151 agreed, traffic is a big headache and that's what I meant. I drove automatic for two years (family cars) until I got my own, had a manual for close to 14 years, bought a manual/automatic, but it's just a toy not the same.
My '12 toyota tacoma is a 6 speed manual😎🤘🏾 and I love manual vehicles very fun to drive , I wouldn't buy a tacoma unless it was a manual, always had manual vehicles, automatics are a bit boring 🤣🤣
@@uno3863 not just boring but I believe manual is safer.
@@anniehovsepian6173 I agree Annie 😎🤘🏾
[From the UK, August 2022] What a fantastic walk-through buddy! I have a 'Prado' (1KD-FTV) - & much of this applies to me. As it happens - I've gone over most of the underside with Fluid Film (learnt about it from your side of the pond!). 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Manual Transmission Tutorial by Mr. CCN! Great video idea
😁
I love my 2009 DC Sport Taco. They are so much fun to drive, and more reliable than any I have ever owned before.
Great video. I love how you explain and teach in an easy to understand way 🙏🏽.
I loved my 2008 LSD/mechanical rear differential!! For my use was much better than a locker. I always noticed more rust/flacking in the bend of the frame by rear axle. The seperation caused by the curve seemed to cause it more. Currently own a 17 loved my 08 sport but frame felt like a ticking timebomb. Fluid filming my 17 a lot now!
I love working on my Tacoma and Sienna. I’m glad I found your channel. Have a blessed 2023!
This makes me miss my 2005 Taco Access cab TRD 4X4…she was also silver, my silver bullet Taco!! No issues for 10-years and I didn’t even know I didn’t have Iridium plugs!! I traded her for a 2014 Tundra TRD 4X4 in 2015 to pull a bigger camper.
I don’t have telegram
Your videos never skipped !
The frame on my 2015 looks new. I pressure wash, dry, and then apply Fluid Film once a year. You can usually get decent coverage with 4-6 cans.
Very nice "Taco"! I favor those over Tundras, sorry. I used to own an 81 SR5 4x4. I really enjoy seeing other CCN vehicles so taken care of. Thanks again.👍
One thing I’ll add: the weak motor mounts on the 05-06. And I mean the motor mount perch off the frame itself. I found this out the hard way as I just bought an 05 with a tilted engine. I assumed it was just a collapsed mount, no big deal, drove fine, easy fix.
What I found was that the perch had broken all the way around and completely collapsed into the frame. Toyota quietly added a reinforcement plate under this perch in 2007 I believe. No recall that I know of.
There is a gusset kit available to reinforce/repair this, but you must remove the axles, steering rod, and front diff to get in there with a welder. Not exactly a fun time.
It’s typically the driver side that goes first, and my frame is not rusty, so take a peek! Definitely easier to fix when they’re only partially cracked.
Thanks for the great videos AMD!
Thanks for the in depth video. Recently purchased a 2000 Tacoma that is rust free 5spd with 181K miles
That’s the cleanest shop I’ve ever seen, and a great video.
I had a 2007 Tacoma. Fantastic truck!
FInally! A video from you on the 2nd gen Tacoma! I own a 2011 Tacoma that I brought used back in 2020. Previous owner wheeled the heck out of it. The interior was kind of dirty, dog hair, dirt and mud stains. I had it professionally detailed prior to getting it. Both CV's boots were torn, The bilstein shocks from the previous owner are worn to hell as well. I did most of the fluid changes on mine except for the brake fluid, and Tranny fluid and filter. Its still going strong at 277K miles!
Still a lot more work to go for my truck before I start modifying it into an overland vehicle!
I loved the manul Tacoma. I wish my 2021 4runner was a manual.
Yes, they should offer a manual 4Runner as well. The manual Wrangler and Bronco show there is a market for more manual SUVs.
Thank you, AMD and Mrs. CCN. The 2009 ACLB 2.7MT just passed 25k miles with a long workout during hot weather between north Idaho and central Oregon. Your advice on the routine is noted in the owner's manual to exercise the ADD monthly, despite the warning on the driver's visor against activation on dry hard surface roads, is spot on. Straight ahead, ten miles a month. After arriving home, I noted the drop hanging from the AC condensate drain, traced the path to the puddle on the concrete where it dripped from the frame behind the right front door. Tacoma World provides advice on installing 25" of 5/8 heater hose to extend the AC drain to avoid that future (corrosion) impact to the frame. That's my next project!
Thank you car care nut for putting this out their. I'm the proud owner of a 2015 limited tacoma. Mine is in pristine shape. Has had all the recalls done and the frame since of that is immaculate. I made sure when I drove it when we had a bad snow in ky when they put salt to go to a quarter car wash and spray my frame down. I will keep an eye on the head where you showed. Has 186k on it. I plan on driving mine down to the ground.
Toyota HiLux trucks are greatly valued in Panama with its mountainous terrain. I’ve seen some with snorkels following the A frame up to the roof for getting through washed out roads
What a lucky family you have, I can tell your an excellent father and husband, God bless you.
I’m looking at a 2013 double cab 4x4 tomorrow. Thank you fir everything you do for us. If I decide to buy it I’ll bring it to you for the maintenance. I’m not to far from you.
You are right about never forgetting driving a manual transition. I haven't driven a manual transmission for over 15 years and I still hit on the imaginary clutch pedal in my automatic car when hitting the brake. 😆
On the few occasions I drive an automatic, my left foot never stops looking for something to do.
Really nice looking truck! Hope the daughter gets many, many good miles from it!
This Toyota owner loves this channel, Thank you sir!!!!
How did I ever miss this video!? But, I miss you. I remember when I subbed to you t 20k subscribers. How big you’ve gotten.
Nice video ! Im in France i got a 2010 Hilux Xtra cab with D4D engine. didnt realise this old school Tacoma looks a lot like my truck !
AMD congrats!! 🎉🎈🍾
Your 5000 mile oil change video was linked by an automotive writer on my Google home page other day. 🤘🏻
Spot-on advice about the 2nd gen trucks. I love my 06 but it has had just about everything under the sun replaced. One other thing is if you start modifying the suspension (which many of us do) you should do the needle bearing bushing replacement for the FT DS. Very common to have issues with those once lifted. If I had to do it all over again I would keep truck stock
So much good information. Toyota is a great brand especially the trucks. Thanks AMD!!!
May God bless you too man, thank you for sharing your knowledge 👍🏼
I had a 2008 TRD Off-road. In over 160000 miles the only thing I had do was a wheel bearing and an idler pulley. Rust belt truck that did not qualify for the frame replacement. Have a 2017 now and am keeping an eye on the issues that you mentioned in your 3rd gen video.
I have a 2006 4x4 5spd manual 250,000 miles no leaks runs great. Do all of my own service thanks to the "car nut".😂❤
Forgot to mention my truck was recalled due to the frame issue, it was rusted thru. One other issue was the plastic coolant pipe running under the intake. It was a job, but did that too. The replacement part from toyota was metal.
Good review I have a 2016 Access Cab and looking under this 2008 it is almost the same design in fact some of the parts from the 2008 might fit the 3rd Gen. I spray my frame with Fluid Film every September living in New Jersey that is a must
Thank you AMD for showing us what to look for in a Toyota Tacoma 😎😎👍👍
Double thumbs up. Thank you. May God Bless You and Keep You Too.
Thanks for doing this one now ! Great timing for me !
I am starting to watch your videos, they are really good with a lot of good info. When are you doing one with a 2008 Tundra
My 06 Taco SR5, 4 cyl, 2WD, automatic has 270K miles. Have replaced valve cover gasket once and changed one u-joint. Original alternator and starter, A/C still blows super cold. The clear coat on the hood and top of the cab has been gone for years. All scheduled maintenance done and it continues to run great!
Good filming, camera person. And great information. Thank you!
AMD has developed a long and obviously loving relationship with the camera person, Mrs. CCN. We hope she develops her cooking channel.
@@charlesbranch4120 If you review his video from a few weeks back , AMD introduces us to his new shop assistant who handles the camera work etc. I believe Mrs. CCN runs the office.
My 2012 v6 has developed a valve cover leak at 145k miles and has some weird electrical issues here and there but I think it’s due to the dealers gps tracking system, apart from that it’s being very good since I bought it early 2020.
Thank you AMD and Merry Christmas, I watch you all the way from Hawaii, where we love our toyotas lol🤙🏽..
Should do a video on toyota HILUX..
Did this truck owner get a new frame? My Dad's 2005 Taco had a recall on the frame due to it holding up terribly to weather/rust, and they completely replaced it in like 2015 or something. This might be something to consider. Keep up the great work! I love your channel, and it's helping me make sure I do all the right things with my new 2022 Taco TRD Offroad!
I own toyota watching video after videos .Gentleman he is very knowledge a lot of learning from him.Cheers from Canada
About to his 300000 on my 2008 . Still runs like new .Toyota replaced the frame a couple years ago ❤
Thanks Again AMD!! I love my 2015 DCLB 4x4
Great information! I love my 2006 Tacoma prerunner. It’s been extremely reliable.
AMD, First of all, it is a relief to see your recent oil change video did not break the internet because it is going like a runaway train.😁It is also good to see a manual, made in California Tacoma on your channel! 🤩Even though it is a beautiful summer day, I am so glad we are talking about the Salt Belt and RUST today. In the Salt Belt, doing diligent mechanical maintenance without doing the required rustproofing makes as much sense as brushing your teeth 3 times a day but never flossing. I guarantee your teeth are going to get cavities and your vehicle is going to
rust. 🤨 Congratulations to the owner of this 2008 Tacoma who has maintained it so well. Perhaps his daughter will pass it on to one of her kids some day. 😉
My truck is a 2019 and I spray it with fluid film every year. The frame looks new. I live in upstate NY and have done some light 4-wheeling.
I own a similar 2008 Tacoma TRD 6 speed manual trans. with a Warn winch, never got stranded out in the mountains. I keep the oil changed regularly as well(do it myself)...if I'm in a region where they salt roads, I take my truck to the local self car wash and spray down the undercarriage thoroughly on a regular basis, my frame is comparably rust-free. A couple of bucks at the car wash makes a big difference if you stay on top of it. Saves a lot of head aches down the road.
I will eventually watch all you videos being a yote tech I learn so much lol
Thank you for the great video. Any one with a 2011-2017 if you have not had your frame inspected by the dealership under the The extended warranty customer support program call your dealer to see if you can still have it done. If not I think you will forfeit the 12 year frame replacement extended warranty. We had our 2011 Tacoma frame inspected a coated at the dealer in 2020. Keep up the good work AMD and GOD bless.
Excellent review again AMD ... you should do a review of a 3rd Generation Lexus RX 350...👍👍👍
My father taught me on a manual, a '94 Tacoma pick-up, which I drove for about 2 years. After that I would always have an automatic...but even till this day 18 years later, my right hand is always on the shifter 😄
Toyota did a frame recall a few years back I had that same exact truck in a dealers replace the entire frame no cost to me. That’s probably what happened with that one
This one has an original frame. Because it was preserved it never had holes.
A few things; 1 - the '05 & '06 1GR-FE V6 had a different head gasket from later years - The early head gasket would usually quit between 100 and 150K miles, but it was redesigned in '06 to last longer. 2 - these years also had a poor design motor mount on the V6. 3 - the 2012+ versions of the V6 have a SAIS (air injection system) which has a separate air filter which if left to get old will disintegrate, and be ingested into the pump. This puts the truck into "limp home" mode. The fix is VERY expensive. Smart owners fit an aftermarket air filter on the SAIS. 4 - The preventative maintenance on the 4WD system is to put the system into 4H after EVERY tank of fuel. Drive for about ½ a mile in 4WD, then shift back to 2H. 5 - Common failures on the Tacoma are the OEM front wheel bearings (good for about 80K miles), and rust leading to failure of the intermediate steering wheel shaft. 6 - The Denso A/C condenser for this truck costs about $110 on Amazon.
The cam bolts seizing on the lower control arms are common and huge pain in the ass too if you live in the salt belt like me. Once they seize they are basically welded to the truck lol
I'm 75. My wife and I learned on manual transmission cars. Also both our children learned to drive with manual transmissions. We only have four grandchildren and only two are old enough to drive. One of them drives a manual. The other, I don't think so.
Got the exact same truck, luv it
I really enjoyed this video.
And I don't even have a Tacoma...
The nice thing about jump into a more premium differential fluid such as a mobil one full synthetic royal purple red line most of the time it comes with the LSD modifier in the fluid!
