    You bet! Glad it is working out for you and you are pleased. You are the second person to report damaging it and being able to bend it back into shape. It wasn’t designed specifically to do that but nice to know it will!

    Manual transmission fluid change a few days ago. Used amsoil heavy duty stuff. No one sells redline near me, but it looks like the stuff I bought bought is GL5 which apparently is rough on the synchros. I have the 3rd gear grind still after the change, I might try throwing in the TRD quickshifter and see if that helps. Then might be time to do the clutch.

    Probably will pick up the redline stuff in a couple months, but debating it because apparently it isn't good for cold weather, which would be a problem for the winter months here in Michigan.

    Anyone else have the 3rd gear grind and get rid of it? Would like to hear how.

    Yeah I should probably do it this summer. It's only like 500 bucks for the parts, and my father in law will help me do it. I've been holding off on any major mods on my truck and putting the money towards maintenance, I want to keep it for a long time.

    I'm trying to get an excuse to put new brakes on mine because I want to put performance calipers and pads on, but unfortunately the truck is braking fine. Trying to convince my wallet I need performance parts for my mall crawling is not proving effective.

    Same boat here. Need tires, going for michelin defenders since I don't off-road. I really want TRD Pro rims, but I haven't decided If I want to do it or not. When you pay cash for everything it stings a lot more lol
