Mod day?

 

I have a 2010 T4R with the "roller" 4.0 that takes the 0w20 oil. IMO it's cheaper to have the dealership change it. But that weight oil only comes in synthetic so pick a brand and run with it. It's more popular now and the price of oil has come down some. You will need a filter housing socket like this

If your planning on doing your own oil changes, this might be a good investment too.

Don't you have free maintenance with your truck?

 

I have plenty of work I need to do if there's a mod day, I has no garage and lots of snow on ground still. I need to replace both cv axles (have remans from cvj), replace my drivers side wheel bearing & hub, drain and refill front and rear diff and transfer case, and some other maintenance.

 

There is free maintenance plan but its every 10K....I get around a lot so I was thinking about I can start learning few things on my truck since you all motivate me

 

are these drain valves reliable?

 

I've been running one since last summer and it hasn't leaked a drop yet

I believe @teamhypoxia has also been running one for a while

 

Do these need/come with O Rings, I only see a washer in these pictures..

 

That's a gasket, not a washer. So you don't need anything else with it.

 

Makes an oil change an easy tool free job

 

But he is still there.







Hahaha sorry i could not resist. ​

 

I guess I'll be grabbing some skids since rci is going through with the gb. So question now is steel vs aluminum. I'm leaning towards steel, what do you guys think?

 

if you intend on using the crap out of them id say go steel for the belly armor.

 

I don't really intend to, but the extra cost of aluminum and (I believe) the extra durability of the steel seem to outweigh the minimal weight savings.

 

steel

 

I've also been running the fumoto valve for years with not one problem!! only way to do an oil change, although now i still have to get messy when changing the 4R oil since that dumb cartridge filter drains too.

 

Any oil pan valves for a 3.4? I'll like to throw one on my next oil change.

 

Who wants to fly to Boston to bring back a tundra with me. Ill pay for everything but the flight.

 

Buy it from somewhere better next time.
