Shop Time w/T.W. Friends. Where is your wallet…..poll

Should have 5. 1 for each u-joint on the truck (3 for the rear driveshaft & 2 for the front)

 

The maintenance thread video agrees with you but other things say that at least some are sealed now.

 

I've read that it's all sealed and there's zero. My truck is only 5 years old so I haven't gotten a chance to get under there and look yet.

 

I cancelled the grease gun order until I can shimmy under it to check then I'll just pick one up in town if I need one.

 

Good idea.

I have a grease gun somewhere......

 

Only the front shaft on mine is grease fittings (2). I hit them once a year on my Spring service.

Here is the one by the transfer case:



Same fitting, just closer:

 

I used to use windshield stickers, anymore I use a strip of blue painters tape on the trailing edge of the driver door - EZ to see when getting in.

It is protected there so the sharpie doesn't fade and the tape peels right off without leaving a residue. (...and it's cheap too!)

 

If you have a compressor, go that route for the grease gun. Sooooo much more efficient and fun to use

 

I use trip 'B' on my odometer, just reset it at each oil change.

 

reminds me, i need to get one on order for work...

 

If it'll make greasing my 2 zerks more efficient, I'm in!

 

My 2021 had none. I went and bought a grease gun and some nice, "expensive" grease. Yea that was a let down. Needless to say my mower is getting some fancy grease

 

Also, please tell me you didn't buy 0w16 for the Tacoma... 0w20 is what it calls for.

I run 5w30 synthetic in mine, but I'm not opening that can of worms of a debate...

 

That's why I cancelled the gun order and haven't bought the grease yet!

 

0W16 is for the Highlander. Amazon had the cheapest 5qt.

0W20 will be picked up in town for the Tacoma.

 

Goodnight everyone, sleep well.

 

Get on up and get with it. Make a difference today. Should have an easyish morning with a site specific training refresher. Cruise control from there.

I dont think I've mentioned this but I'm down 25+ lbs since February, been biking on lunch break and pumping iron on breaks. Thank you Metallica spotify

 

Good morning everyone, have a great and blessed day.

 

Morning all have a great day

 

X2 same on my '17
Good morning
Got a little more of the deck surface replaced.
Wife is helping me. Makes me sad to see her health going downhill. It was more apparent yesterday I could see inflammation in her hands/elbows. The arthritis is damaging her liver as well.
