This may be a dumb question, but what U-joints did you go with?

 

$24 Spicer 5-153x U-Joint - Individual

Spicer 5-153x

 

Gonna need even more soon. Confirmed there is fluid coming from where the trans and t case meet. Doesn’t smell like gear oil so probably a transmission output shaft seal. Gonna have to drop the case again.

 

This looks just like a cv diff seal. Just pull out the old and put in the new. Should be easy enough.

 

lol I'm a dumbass and don't even know my transmission code. That's for the 5 speed. I can't find a part number for the 6 speed and it's also not in the FSM I zoomed in on one of my previous pics and it looks like there's a cover and indeed a leak. I wonder if toyota uses a paper gasket or FIPG there. Hopefully I'll have time to drop the case again tomorrow and see.

 

Now I feel like I'm talking to myself. Anyways, I found what I was looking for. No mention of a seal so probably something I can just use RTV on.

 

Yep

 

Your lawn looks great though!


Your paint fails continue compadre. <3

 

You need a fansonly account for the paint action. I would pay to see you go to town with a roller & black paint bucket.

 

Jaime, wait until you see what I have in store for my lawn. I should be getting a lawn striper soon and it'll set me above all the neighbors. I will then claim ownership of the HOA.

 

That's no leak, she's just happy to have you giving her so much attention.

 

I did just have a lightbulb go off. What if it wasn't a leak? The truck was at an incline, nose up, when I removed the t case. A little oil could have just seeped out when I pulled the transfer case, much like how you lose some oil when you remove a CV. I'm gonna wait and see if it continues before dropping the t case again.

 

My FIL become head of his HOA so he could approve his own projects.

 

Happy to help, glad my Youtube Certified Mechanic genius has been of help to you.

 

Oh my Randall. You will be the envy of the hood!

We had a nasty freeze in Feb & had to redo all our landscaping

 

will they use the flagpole? I’ll come by and toss a few Washingtons.

 

lol, I read this as "fan-son-ly" and I was like, wtf is that?

 

Chick fil a came out with a new status level in the app and I finally reached it. I’m kind of a big deal.

 

I'm boycotting them right now. They dropped my breakfast sammich.
