On any TREs I wouldn't have a problem going 555/Sankei at all.
Or wait do we know if those inner TREs are crucial like the LBJ? I haven't read that yet but I dunno

 

No, I made a point earlier how you don’t hear about catastrophic TRE failure like you do with LBJ’s. They fail, but not as much as the LBJ. The ITR I would definitely go OEM.

 

Might be able to get rid of the 5VZ tick with some 5W40

 

I’ve never heard of an inner tie rod fail either, on a Tacoma

 

Yeah it's good stuff, good oil for any engine gas, diesel, etc. Oils formulated for diesel engines generally have more detergents and cleaning agents. Doesn't hurt anything in gas engines, but yeah

 

Reason is do OEM is because if it did fail, it’s a tad harder to replace than an outer.

 

Who needs some CO2 lmao

 

Might, never know. Can't hurt to try

 

purely because of price. OEM inners were crazy expensive. 555s had a good reputation and were considerably less expensive

 

Holy shit! I paid $30 for the 555 Passenger side. This was $45.

 

I’ve got to back in SF by 1, and it’s gridlock traffic. Let’s see how fast I can change this tie rod.

 

Did you check a DuraLast box for a 555? That’s where I found mine at Autozone.

 

If you're just doing the outers it shouldn't take very long. Count the threads when you unscrew it from the inner tie rod so your alignment is at least in the ballpark of where it was

 

$30 was Autozone DuraLast. $45 was NAPA advertised as Sankei 555

 

Oh Tyler you dumb shit.

I know the 6.7l will probably get 15W40 in the summer because it's $20 cheaper per oil change lol

 

Was joking with the GF that we should just buy oil by the barrel since there's currently 9 vehicles between the two of us

Erry one gonna get 5W40

 

All the cool garages have oil drums
