    You could always ask a dealer, or the parts window at a dealer and they can look up the correct gasket if you give them the VIN. Also saw a lot of guys using the method of just straight up black or grey RTV instead of a paper gasket. Just make sure you give the rtv time to cure after tightening it down.

    did you make sure the nuts on the 3rd member were tight? I found mine leaking from there about 6months ago and half of them were loose. Everything was fine after i torqued them down again.

    #2 gen strikes again! The only answer is to set it on fire and buy a chevy. They will never have problems ever. Don't argue with me I am the arm chair expert. Toyota is the Yugo of the modern car world. Because I said so.


    Ok standard Tacomaworld post out of the way. Helpful posts, carry on.
