Built For the Internet...By the Internet Mall Crawler (AR15xAR10's Build Thread)

Servicing everything but the trans next week

 

Three advanced autos, one Napa, and an autozone....plus $70 later, i have all my driveline fluids

 

450 miles in.

Doing rear diff, then tcase, then front diff. I have to pull my skids to get to the front diff...so i might as well fix my rattling heat shield and touch up the paint on my skids

 

B e a u t i f u l

 

I don't see why my transfer case wouldn't mind the lucas 85-140....

Not sure what else would be better. There is BG synthetic in there now and ECGS told me to stay away from synthetics with toyotas. Which honestly is weird to me.

Also, @MTopp didn't you remove your resonator heat shield on the driver's side? Mine will not shut up and its driving me nuts

 

They said nothing is better in a toyota than lucas 85-140 so thats what i bought a pile of.

I'm not going to worry about my trans until i do a trans cooler. It was serviced 24k ago so i'm sure its fine

 

Word up.

I just couldn't justify all of that. Plus i spend too much time on the street to justify an air locker right now. I love my mechanical limited slip. I don't ever want to give it up

 

I just want to drive someone's rig on fiddy sixes or eighty eights and see how slow it is. I don't think i could take it. I'd have to LS swap or something.

I just want something that can annhilate trails and still comfortably run 120. One can dream

 

But what they gain back in low end grunt, they loose in top end which i hate. Fifth gear seems to be useless in everyone's regeared truck because the trans just hunts back and forth between 4th and 5th

 

But i bet it still takes a while to get to 70....and would feel like instant death anything over 80. Plus he has another gear that we don't have....

 

Must experience

 

Yea I ripped the drivers side cat cover off. Should get new hose clamps and reinstall but ehh

 

I asked you

I'm not sure if you've read this before but a lot of good debating about synthetic vs Dino in rear diff..Our local Toyota mechanic Brian also recommends running Dino if the diffs..

Good to see your up and running hopefully feeling better
Happy Memorial Day everyone!!! <3

 

dinosaur oil for heavy duty gears in the rear..

 

Ya I totally agree
I asked him a long time ago when his shit started howling because I suspected he was running synthetic back there

 

<3

 

Hmmm I have synthetic in my diffs, should I change it out

 

I had synthetic before I regeared.. didnt have any issues

 

Yuh.

 

I would at least the rear diff
