This is rad, thanks!

Hey, who does the voice overs on your videos? She sounds like Omega from Star Wars The Bad Batch?
@Soft Taco

 

Thank you for the name drop . You do great work .

 

Just saw this thread, been watching your videos for a bit now and really appreciate the thoroughness and the simplicity of your videos. No overly animated bs. Direct and to the point. I’ll be tackling my spark plugs and the transmission fluid soon. Thanks for the great videos!

 

She’s a British friend named Rowan! Great voice right?

 

I really appreciate that. I absolutely hate videos that drone on repeating things everyone already knows just for the sake of ad revenue. I also can’t stand YouTube titles like “Do this ONE thing to make your truck last FOREVER” all for the sake of clicks. I just have some occasional free time, love my truck, and love to edit videos.

 

Added a 300k+ Review from YouTube user Enduro Cox. It’s the first example of a 3rd gen I’ve seen that has been used hard it’s entire life and relatively well maintained. His video covers some great things.

@Soft Taco - thank you very much for taking the time to put this together. Well done sir!

 

Thanks! I’ll keep updating!

 

Thank you thank you. Lemme know anytime when you have suggestions. Front brakes and rear shocks are up soon for those that enjoy the vids.

 

As a new owner of this truck good info. Thanks. I am a stickler for maintenance on all of my vehicles.

 

@Soft Taco,
Excellent post. You definitely took your time with this and did it correctly. I see you joined TW in 2011, what truck did you own at that time?

 

I did my 5000 mile service today, oil change, tire rotation, general inspection. I could not find grease fittings on any control arms or driveshafts. Truck is a 2023. Sealed u-joints and ball joints?

 

welcome to the club!

 

Thanks! That would have been my 2005 2.7 4wd reg cab manual. Loved that truck. First of 5 Tacos across three engines. 2x 2.7s, 2x 4.0s and now the 3.5 current gen.

 

Nice work. I am due a an oil change myself in the next 500 miles. Thanks for the reminder.

You should completely sealed by 2023. The rear driveshaft was greaseable for only a a year or two on the 3rd gens and the front driveshaft went sealed not long after. I always tell people to check for anomalies just in case. The front driveshaft zerks can be hidden pretty well. Those ball joints and tie rod ends should be all sealed as well but tend to last a LONG time. Typical use can last well past 100k without issue.
