Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Serra Toyota offers great prices and they also pack their shipments well.

 

Light and flavorful

 

Bearings, differentials, etc all warm up under use. Operating temperature is going to be greater than the ambient temperature. Pressure inside the diff changes, that’s why there’s a breather on it. That’s also why when it’s clogged up, people blow out seals cuz it has to escape somewhere.

Drastic temperature swings are hard on anything. Will one time do it? Probably not. But multiple times will accelerate failure.

go sit in a sauna for a while then take an ice bath.

 

Take a torch to a sealed bearing or balljoint and see what happens.
Stand out of the line of fire.

The first one yes The second one I cannot figure it out from that diagram. You need the one that goes in the spindle behind the bearing It is big diameter and mostly metal. I will see if I can figure it out for you when I get home.

 

Thanks

 

I fully understand that. What I'm saying is the temperature/pressure swing is not as much as you're making out.

 

Okay... I suggest that you find a local Toyota dealer you can stand and develop a relationship with the parts counter guy if this offroad stuff is a path you intend to wander down. Called my guy and figured out that the seal I am talking about goes in the spindle and the number for my 2015 is 90316-72001. There are three different ones so they need your vin to get it right. The second one you gave me should come on the already assembled hubs. You need to one that goes into the spindle. Enter my number and look at it so you get an idea of what it should look like.

 

its more than enough to cause problems

 

here's a video for the people that like to play in the water

we could also consult the local expert on toybotas @CygnusX191

 

None of my diffs or seals leak.

 

The key takeaway for me in post #48645 was.....

"This vacuum can draw in water and contaminants if the seals are not functioning properly"

If you're having that problem it was already a problem.

 

you might need to extend your breathers again to the top of the cab if you keep it up

 

we better also ask it what can cause the seals to go bad

 

Too many variables

 

Mine is a 2015 SR5, isn't yours the same? I'll give him my VIN anyways, but I'd guess it's the same.
Thanks for looking that up!

 

He's got the 4wd version...

News just said the Road America plate is the most popular in Wi,
Packers is second.

 

My Quantum spinning reel, of 29 years slaying fish, has finally gone kaput.

Torn between the Quantum Smoke or the Shimano Ultegra. Never used Shimano but I know Quantum is tough.

​

(IMO any trusted name spinning reel above the $150 range will do fine.)
