    3 days old,335 miles and I can hear the howl around 55+ MPh. The transmission feeling weird I can handle. That sound I can not. Way too OCD. 20160817_201518.jpg

    Already have an appointment lined up for Friday. Had to make the appointment online since when I requested that serice guys never called me back.
    Thanks,I already had when I came home earlier. As long as the few issues it may have are taken care of the first time by my local dealer I won't care. Does anyone with the off road package notice anything wrong with the locking diff after the howl has started?

    Please refer to what I told you earlier today. If you go out looking for problems, you're going to find them

    See the rear diff howl thread/poll. Tons of info there. Almost half the drivers are reporting the same symptoms. Many of us have had rear differentials replaced already.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Good thing you brought it to TacomaWorld, where your warranty will be honored and the truck will be worked on. :rolleyes:

    How can we assume at this point it is the differential ? There is so much new stuff in there most of us cannot even spell, and we might be jumping to conclusions IMO.
    Too many armchair posters and ZERO engineers.
    Only thing they design is their lunch and drink.

    An idiot that needs a life. 24/7 posting ? Pathetic.
    Or is he getting paid to do it? Makes you wonder.
