DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Oh boy oh pal. Should be funsies.

 

Oh, one very important suggestion.....take out the fill plug before the drain plug. If somehow you strip out the fill plug after draining the fluid, you could be in trouble.

 

Any fluid recommendations?

 

^this x2

 

Toyota OEM fluid is 75w-85 but I bought Mobil 1

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

75w-90 from Pep Boys when they had a sale. I don't know that any other company makes 75w-85.

 

I need to grease my drive shaft and probably change my front tcase fluid... almost 150k miles...

 

I got a whole new driveshaft yesterday, still vibes. Getting new tires today. If that fails, anyone know of a good cliff?

 

Yes, but gimme your shaft first.

Did you get new u-joins and carrier bearing, too?

 

yup all new

 

Are they the same? Think his is longer isn't it?

 

mine is most definitely longer

 

Are you getting the vibes in the seat/whatever, or the steering wheel?

 

the whole cab vibrates, dont feel it in the steering or shifter/trans

only happens when i go above 70-80mph and comes and goes

 

That’s odd. Each time I messed up my driveshaft, it would start getting bad around 30-50 (depending on severity), then smooth out as I went faster.

 

been frustrating to chase down

 

Pretty sure you said you had your tires balanced right? What about a road force balance?

 

just reg ole balance, not road forced

 

The old Scottish sheep trick

 

Holy shit this stuff be expensive as hell! $30/quart??? Mr money bags over here
