The Lair

Let's see if this fixes the mysteriously loosening diff bolts.

Hey folks. You are all likely well aware of the front diff drain plug short comings. I've been using Lexus part #

Toyoya 90341-24016 PLUG, STRAIGHT SCREW

90341-24016 for a couple of years now... it has a 14mm nut in place of the 10mm female hex, all other dimensions and features are the same. Retail is $10ish.

 

He’s putting those in his rear diff

 

Yes sorry. I'm okay with what the front are.

 

We'll forgive you this time. Next time however, I will demonstrate things I learned at Abu Ghraib.

 

Your Jedi tricks will not work on my iPad.

 

Came across this on Facebook. Pretty bad ass.

 

Not a lot of room for activities.

 

That’s my old cap! Sold it and didn’t take the stickers off haha

 

Oooooohh that makes sense!

 

Do it! Better yet bob the front end Randall. Dare to be unique

 

You get validation from me. I vote #1!

I have one of those sitting in my tool box. I really need to service my front diff. Hex plug has been seized for almost 100k miles....did a partial fluid change about 60k miles ago when I installed the ECGS bushing.

 

My Amazon warehouse purchase arrived today. Everything was brand new and even still has the little twist ties around the wires. I call that a win because I only paid $45 and full price is $70.

 

Win.

 

I had a similar experience when I ordered an item used, but in like new condition. The box was smashed, but the item had obviously never even been used.

 

Even though the truck starts fine, I guess it’s still low, below 25%. Guess I need to do that alternator mod to fully charge this thing.

 

What alternator mod do you speak of?

You basically trick your alternator into outputting a higher voltage necessary to fully charge an AGM battery.

 

Ah, I see. Only something you want to do if you run an AGM battery.

I am a bit leery of my alternator. Watching the voltage on my stereo via the OBDII, I think it is getting tired. It is never running more than 14.0 volts, and is usually reading somewhere between 13.0-13.7 volts while cruising around town, sometime dipping to sub 13V on ocassion.
