    Good point. Well looks like I will be doing engine oil, rear diff, and tranny this weekend haha. What about the front diff? Leave it or change that too while I'm at it?

    It will be worth it when the truck runs more smoothly though. Also is there any way to just check your brake fluid levels? When I hit the brake sometimes there is a loud like "clunk" noise. I know it isn't my pads and no I don't hammer my brakes either which is why I am curious to see if it is my fluid levels.

    I had the same clunk on my Sienna. All of my pads looked great so I went ahead and flushed the brake fluid with new stuff. Has worked fine ever since.

    Autozone?

    Also does anyone have a good link on a "how to" for changing the brake fluids? I found one that had a pdf file PSU added but it looked hella confusing lol.

    Haha it happens. I just spend 90 bucks at Autozone on a new filter, oil pump, and oil and I still need 7 more quarts of
    $29 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)
    75W-90...fml

    But on a side note I have 3 points worth of rewards at Autozone which is equal to 60 bucks. Hell yeah hot damn.

    You only need LSD additive if you have ATRAC correct?

    No, you only need LSD additive if you have a mechanical limited slip differential.

    You can still have LSD though. If your not sure if you do or not you can go under your truck and look at the rear diff, if you need it there will be a sticker on there saying LSD. If you read through the tread more this has all been discussed. GL
