You might want to try rock auto. They might have the right stuff.

 

Taco party! @tacot0wn were you thinking of heading up?

And @iRideMTB get that backsplash done, you have 2 hours.

 

There you go interupting me again, I'm never gonna get this thing done

 

is it Monday yet?

 

What do you guys recommend for diff and t case fluid? I've always used redline stuff if my old vehicles but I feel like I read some of you had issues.

 

I'm sure Redline is good stuff, but I'll never use it again. Currently running it in the lawn mower to get rid of it. I really think it's way too thin for gear oil, regardless of synthetic mix.
Lucas seems to work pretty well and considerably cheaper. Just my opinion though. I don't think these old trucks need anything special other than the correct GL rating in the transmission.

 

You did, we were talking about it a couple of weeks ago (my post was on the 29th). I started with Redline after what came in it, then switched to Amsoil Severe Gear. Which is overkill, and they do have a 'long life' rather than 'severe' which is slightly cheaper, but neither are what you would call inexpensive. But I've been very happy with it.

 

The older I get, the less focused I am on the name-brand. I shoot for synthetics, in the correct weight range, under a name you know, and affordable (i.e. no boutique fluids).

The only fluid I do get particular about is manual trans fluid.

 

I made the mistake of reading about transmission fluid on a Subaru forum once.

At least none of the Tacoma guys have started mixing three different types of oils together. Yet. That I know of.


I've got a pile of Lucas 80w-90 conventional I bought for the diffs during the regear and break-in process. I may pour some of that in the transmission and see what happens.

 

I'm gonna give the Redline products a try in my transmission (MT-90) and my transfer case (

$29 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)

75W-90). I'm sticking with Lucas Heavy Duty in my diffs, per ECGS.

I'll definitely post up with results once I get some miles in.

 

Had the tires mounted and installed the ToyTec lift this weekend. Made a few mistakes that set me back but everything got done, I love the new stance, and I learned so much about my truck.

 

You are absolutely right...
