Good Old Tune Up Thread

Durk is spot on with the numbers.

Good amount of items there. My brother has used Mobil Super High Mileage in his Tundra 5VZ and gotten great results with it. If you lose any oil between changes, try the Mobil Super HM. It is a good and rather inexpensive oil to consider using.

Check to see if the rear fill plug has been turned before. Use a 6 point, not 12 point socket, to remove it. Mine had, and I had to buy a new one since someone had bent the snot out of it. I think the part# is 90341-18006. It lists for $4.34.

Always remove the fill plug first before the drain plug for all.

Ohio State fan eh? We will see what Meyer can do this fall.

Ouch!! NAPA Echlin Part No. CRB29352 costs $3.87. I change it every 30k with my spark plugs. Works just fine.

NAPA AUTO PARTS

Each box uses two crush washers--drain and fill. You can reuse them once without any real problem, but at some point they get weak and break.


TOY 90430-18008 TC Fill/Drain Gasket 27 Ft-Lb
NAPA ATM PB2403 TC Fill/Drain Gasket 27 Ft-Lb
TOY 12157-10010 Front Diff. Fill Gasket 29 Ft-Lb
TOY 90430-24003 Front Diff. Drain Gasket 48 Ft-Lb
TOY 90341-18006 Rear Diff Fill Plug 36 Ft-Lb 24mm skt.
TOY 12157-10010 Rear Diff. Fill/Drain Gasket 36 Ft-Lb
TOY 90430-18008 5-speed Fill/Drain Gasket
NAPA ATM PB2403 5-speed Fill/Drain Gasket

The rear diff fill plug number is on the list because it is real easy to round off, use a 24mm six-point socket, apply PB Blaster night before, and bang it a few times with a hammer before turning out. Anti-seize on the thread makes it easier the next time.

Thank you! I'll make a run to the dealership tomorrow.

I agree I totally got screwed on the PCV Valve. Now I know though.

I just bought 6 quarts of Mobil Super 10W-30 (Non-High Mileage). My Runner doesn't burn any oil luckily.

Remove the hose and yank up on it. Its just wedged into a rubber bushing

Exactly. The bushing/grommet will eventually crack and break so be careful it doesn't break and drop pieces into your valve train. So rather than yank, I suggest you worry it out. Grommet is 90480-18001 if you want to pre-emptively change. About $5 at dealer, $3 on line. NAPA Echlin CRB 29121 works and is $3.

Now you make me sound like a barbarian

And then I also bought PB Plaster and medium thread lock.

Another successful day.

Tomorrow I plan on the muffler arriving and then I'll go get it welded on. Should have a sound clip by the end of the day tomorrow.
 
thanks for the good info/part numbers and informative discussion, and especially for continually updating the first post
 
I know you said you were gonna hold off on the bushings, but you could spend $40 at wheelers offroad and get all new sway bar and steering rack bushings. It is amazing how much more planted the truck feels once you replace those tired old rubber bushings with some poly ones!

Great thread though, you will be very happy you went this way when your truck runs for decades to come.

I agree. I need sway bar bushings/endlinks too. They'll be next.
