Good info, thank you.
You know I did notice last night I do have a very slight whir at between 73-75mph or so most prevalent on down hill slopes (estimated, because the trail wheels are smaller diameter and throw off the speedo a bit). This truck had about *4* owners before me and is incredibly clean and leak free which is why I went ahead and took it as such, and also partly because where I work we get some RIDICULOUSLY abused Toyotas in for appraisals regularly that seem to just go and go, but the only real fluid change history I had access to via either Toyota owners or Carfax was oil changes and one rear diff fluid change around 40k miles as I recall. So I’m wondering if worn out components in either the front or rear diff could be the culprit? Spider gears, carrier bearings etc? Hoping it’s a u joint or even the control arm bolts etc, I can’t really complain if it’s that.
This is one of the friendliest and most helpful forums I’ve ever been on, and I had all but abandoned car forums entirely since moving to FB groups years ago.
