Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

Taco hit 98k today. Thinking about adding a transmission cooler when I do that maintenance item since it’s seeing some occasional towing more often. Anyone plumbed one in before?

 

Eh just do a full service. It'll be good as new

 

To much trouble for the hassle? I want an old big suv as a family tow hauler but all are roached so far.

 

I don't think it's terribly hard, def not as involved as adding an external cooler to a 19-21 Tundra that doesn't have the tow package lol

But

A transmission service is even less hassle

 

Thinking of having a shop do it since it’s cold. Got a shop here with a great rep.

 

You misspelled supercharger.

 

I wish but for me

 

@Mrs2Fang and I went and looked at 2wheeled
Fun devices today.

 

I mean we spend 15 grand a year renting our transmission machine from BG. I doubt you would have one in your garage. Lol

Full transmission service. Not just a simple drain and fill. That being said, if you tow regularly, a yearly drain and fill would do like four quarts and it'll keep everything fresh for a long time. But the full service is nice cuz you get conditioner added to it plus a cleaning cycle that's really hard to pull off when you're just doing drain and fill

 

I don’t tow a ton. Few times through the summer now starting last year. A full service it is. Thanks

 

I’ve thought about doing that but it seems like a lotta work lol

 

For you it would be.

Upgrading an existing cooler to something with more volume isn't too bad though.

 

That sounds like an expensive-ish service. I want it.

 

Worth it. Turn your saggy laggy sad taco transmission into a racing box.

 

interesting.. i do tow a good bit these days now

 

Won't hurt. Took care of @Sasquatch3153 's PiG a while back and it's doing much better

 

how much does it run usually?

 

Too much.

I did his on the side.

We charge a little over 300 bucks for a full transmission service. I would hope other dealers would charge similarly, but I've heard that in Florida it's like a $700 service. Which is effing ridiculous.

I can't remember what I charged josh (it probably involved McChickens) but my usual side rate for the transmission service is 150 and that includes me getting all the materials for it. That is to say the fluid, the conditioner and the cleaning solvent.

 

that aint to bad tbh unless its the 700 god damn! thats nuts! ill wait till sometime next year and hit you up on it. gotta pay the oh so fun property tax bill this month... then at some point start looking around for the bike im wanting to get lmao so the truck will be on the back burner besides maintenance for a bit!
