Can we just to talk a minute to appreciate that on any video on his channel, you can go into the comments and see that Tyler has responded to almost all of them. As well the comments on these videos are often so uplifting with encouragement and help for others when doing shocks, maintenance, visual appearance changes, and so much more. So cool to see that while TH-cam can be a negative place there are some absolutely gold mines in here. Tyler, keep up the good work sir and keep adding more miles to that 2uz. Better be a video when yours breaks 250k for your Quarter-Mill award!
Great work! I installed a Fuimoto drain valve on my oil pan, it makes for incredibly easy oil changes as the skidplate doesn’t need to be removed. The oil filter can be accessed from the top. Transmission drain & fills are super easy, I do mine at every oil change. It really keeps it shifting smooth and is totally worth it.
Perfect timing man - I have to do slip yoke and front diff/transfer case. I already did rear diff and learned that a new crush washer on the fill plug is a must - it will leak if you don’t change it.
Thanks for all the good info! What’s the recommended fluid change schedule? I know the oil is every 5k miles, but don’t know any of the other recommended intervals.
I'm surprised you're not using the oem filters. The 90915-YZZD3 filters from Toyota are less than 8 bucks at Walmart, and my local dealer. Also, if you put your truck in neutral, you can move the Axel wherever you'd like.
I use them often, but didn’t order ahead or want to run to Walmart where I can get them locally. Just happened to have this filter this time. Oh. Duh. Good catch
Did you figure out the front diff fill plug. I would suggest spraying some sea foam deep creep on it and letting it soak a little before trying it again.
you may want to look at the extra long ratchets from Tekton....they have a 3/8 & 1/2 version....those slips look like colorful language was edited out ;)
I had to take mine to a shop to get the rear dif fill and drain off. I don't have an impact wrench, and the extended brake bar, bolt lube, hammer tapping and making the right faces just wasn't working 😂. I guess the last shop overtightened them, but the local mech fixing something else for me did it fit no extra charge so I could change the rear dif oil myself 🎉. Still need to do the front dif and transfer case... looking at rhino plastic ramps to give me some more room under there, I don't own a real jack, always borrowed my brother's. Any thought on the 12k lbs rhino ramps?
@@FreedomLovinLady I have the rhino ramps... They have a little bit of rubber on the edge so they do not walk on the smooth concrete when you try to drive up them.....I like them, get the wheel chucks too, unless you already have them.... As always make sure you are within the weight limits of them...
@@morkmckerrthanks for the info, I drive a gen 1 Tundra too, so the 12k lbs ramps should hold no problem, it's just taking that step in something outside of my normal wheelhouse that causes me to put in extra research time 🙋♀️😊
For the front diff drain plug, an air hammer at a slight incline to the inner side of the plug worked for me with a totally rounded plug. Could do with a chisel an hammer, too.

Thank you Spencer! I really appreciate it, thanks for commenting! We will definitely have to celebrate at 250k miles haha
Love how easy these trucks are to work on.
Ya! Lots of room in most places. Engine bay is super roomy
Good call on changing out those Auto-lite plugs with NGK. Spec is NGK or Denso.
Yup, I always opt for nice NGK plugs!

I do transmission drain and fills on an accelerated schedule, but not every oil change. It’s a good thing to get done for sure!

You know, the crush washers crossed my mind, and I didn’t do them. We’ll see if that turns out ok or not.
good video Tyler, I need to start on this soon i'm on 213 000 miles tundra 2003 4.7 thank you for all your work
Thank you! Thanks for commenting

Get ‘em done! Haha

Thank you!
Great video! What size Allen are the front diff drain and fill plugs? I don't think it was mentioned?
10mm! Good question
@@208Tylerthanks!🤙
Great video thanks! About to do a lot of this. Did you switch to the hex head Lexus front diff plugs? Do you replace all gaskets/washers?
Great video bro quick question. Where did you find that Toyota front grill would love to purchase it
I got it from Tacovinyl!

Ya. Something between a breaker bar and typical ratchet might be nice!

Thank you!
Oooooooo I’m glad I found this
When greasing, is there a certain amount to use? Thanks 208
I grease until I can see grease coming out from the shaft/joints. Otherwise it's hard to know if you have enough grease lol
Great video! Do You have LSD ? Any additive You recommend For LSD?
I do not! I don’t have a favorite LSD additive, I’ve only had to use it once on one other vehicle.
Good video
Thank you!
How much time was put into these maintenance items?
You could do this in an evening if you have some experience. It took me two evenings because I had to film it all.
did you just fill rear diff until it starts coming back out? i have 2006 DC 2wd with 170k miles and i dont think this has ever been done.
Yes
Do you know the part number(s) for the alternate drain plug?

Good to know! It definitely stumped me
