Also, goodbye horns

 

I thought it changes pretty fast after new fluid. that initial air contact or whatever makes the fluid darken.

either that or the dealer service department didn't bother doing a flush (which I paid for) when they did the axle seals.

 

His brake fluid looks clean...that clutch fluid reservoir on the other hand..

 

Yyyyeeeah I sorta need to do that too lol

 

Okay guys so today we got some snow and I used 4 wheel for the first time since I bought it it’s a 1997 Tacoma 3.4 auto . I was going about 10mph when the truck started hopping a little nothing to troubling no nasty sounds so I’ve been trying to figure this out . I know my front diff has the Auto Disconnect but the pickup has manual locking hubs and they’re both damn near impossible to turn over . Thoughts ?

 

If you have manual hubs then you don't have ADD, ADD is what the non-manual hub trucks have

Do you have the hubs in the locked position when going into 4hi? Was the ground surface icy/snowy or dry pavement when the hopping happened?

I don't know much about manual hubs ie what would happen if you put it in 4hi without the hubs locked. But if you cant lock/turn the hubs you might have to take them apart

 

Isn’t this the ADD ? And manual hubs right there .

 

Finally home. In the last 29 hours i worked 27 hours. Had a 2 hours break at home like 18 hours ago

 

Maybe someone converted it from ADD to manual hub, I don't know...someone more familiar with manual hubs and the older ADD system is gonna have to chime in

 

Uh... that’s not normal

 

Wonder if someone converted it from add to manual and left the actuator in? If that's possible, IDK

 

RIP

you're gonna look 80 years old by the time you hit 30

 

Yeah for sure , I’ve got to come to a full stop and I engage 4 wheel and I feel it engage for sure the light comes up on the dash and that’s with the hubs on the free position , and they’re both troublesome to move

 

I bet the front diff was replaced for some reason

 

Yeah but my pay checks will be fat lol.

 

Also other then like 6 hours of that was all OT pay

 

You're going to be the first person in the history of mankind to be on his deathbed, regretting only that you couldn't somehow work more hours

 

The truck gets weirder and weirder the more I dig into it it has an e locker and had no wiring harness so immediately look into front and rear diff ratios and they’re matched . So yeah

 

If i was single and no dog I probably would never go home
