Scotty Kilmer(?) did one on Toyota’s in general and also on the 4Runners. Went into the philosophy of the engineers and workers.

Has anyone come up with a guard or idea to protect the neutral safety switch? Has anyone ever experienced an issue related to the neutral safety switch?

I’ve seen some threads about replacing them. Mostly corrosion related problems, IIRC. Don’t believe I’ve read of one damaged from debris or mud and don’t know of a guard.
 
I never understood why anyone holds anyone else's opinion in any regard.....does the truck do what you want/need it to??....outside of that ....who fin cares??

Wouldn’t some dielectric grease prevent that?

To an extent..like he said in the video it's not a huge problem, just a minor weakness.

My '92 Bronco has that switch in the exact same place and they were known to have issues with water intrusion, so much that in later models years Ford upgraded the connector..

I've spent a lot of time in mud and deep water crossings and maybe had a problem with it once or twice..

I would hold the guy in the video's opinion in high regard because he's obviously an expert in toyota engines and transmissions. What I want the truck to do is go 300+k with minimal issues, and this guy explains exactly why it can do that.

Except he's not an expert.

He said repeatedly that the block for the Single VVT-i 1GR-FE, and the Dual VVT-i 1GR-FE in the 5th gen were the same.

They are not.

Based on that, I don't hold his opinion in any regard. At that point I closed the video, as it was a waste of time.

All he really did was describe the engine and not in any way that actually indicated why the engine is favorable opposed to others. I don’t understand the upvotes.
 
I occasionally spray some pb blaster on that part to help keep it from getting itself really locked in there just in case I need to replace that part.
