San Antonio

Next up, and last of my 200K mark services. But it's $400+ at Toyota. so, has to be a month I don't do anything! Then, as far as I am concerned, I am as up to date as a 12 year old truck is going to get.

 

Thats a good way to do it. Cant hurt to keep things nice and fresh! My truck shifts noticeably better with fresh fluid. Id have to imagine things would be smoother with an auto as well in that regard

 

How much does that smoker weigh @Bigdaddy4760

 

Bye again, now we're off!

 

Dang, thats steep, didnt realize it costed that much

 

Not bad.

If my withdrawals get too bad I can break out the emergency stash.

 

I was a service tech for Saturn, but I did a rebuild on a GM 700R4 and a mustang tranny. Don't remember the model. I did trans flushes on about 20 different non-Saturn vehicles, and the high mileage ones definitely were improved in drivability after flushing.

 

4K not loaded for a cook.

 

That sir, is a smoker!

 

Very cool! Ill have to pick your brain sometime. Its always blown my mind how an auto trans works.

 

It's neat, but sucks to rebuild versus a manual

 

I got this

 

Yes I did
That’s why I bought Toyota
Can’t wait to dig into mine one day but need more bench space.
I hate the sealed no dipstick wished someone would make a kit cuz I has no time. I used to polish valve bodies for everyone cuz it confused them but it was a lifetime ago. Drilling clutchdrums was a no brained but if you want performance you sacrifice longevity.
Double edged sword

 

Me and Louie will be bringing kolaches

 

I’ll take an auto over manual any day

 

Gotta get them line pressures up. Those are rookie numbers lol

I miss it sometimes, but I much prefer the manual for servicing.

 

Woohoo!

Drivability, consistency, yes. Maintenance outside of current gens, no.

 

I hear ya but I’m all fkdup and hate clutches

Definitely strange that the auto in the v6 doesnt have a dip stick. The auto behind the 4cylinder does.. not sure what toyoter was thinkin
