    You need one for the front diff. Tcase you can kind of get away with not using one. I get the shitty ones from the auto stores that are good for about two sessions.

    2005 TRD Off Road w 114,000 mi. I bought it in 2008. Just put on 3" Toy Tech, LR UCA, full rear leaf pack (not add a leaf), and decided to do all the "required maintenance" plugs, air filter, ALL fluids (PS, brake, tranny, transfer, coolant, front/rear differential, etc) new brakes, serpentine belt, rotors, etc.... Also mounted a spare 255/85/16 on stock spare rim under the bed.

    WHAT A DIFFERENCE W THE PLUGS!!!

    I feel like an idiot I thought it was 100,000 not 30,000.

    Thought the truck was gonna jump out from under me!!!!

    The fact that it was even running with those gaps in a testament to the solid ignition system. It had to be stumbling at least on WOT. I thought mine were bad a 40k. You should see better MPG too. Still kills me why they came with two different plugs?? Good to be done with all that eh? :thumbsup:

    "Re-torque propeller shaft bolt"

    Is this referring to the 4 bolts that connect the u-joint flange yoke to the diff? Or is there some other bolt I am not seeing?

    Also, "lube the propeller shaft", that just refers to the 5 u-joints, right? ... I didn't see any other lube points on either prop shaft besides the u-joints.

    Thanks

    So for an upcoming 60k maint, the dealer is recommending both power steering and brake systems flushes. The brake system I can see especially after an upcoming brake job but the power steering I'm a little hesitant to spend the $160 for a closed hydraulic system I have no problems with. Any thoughts?

    If you can do it yourself, you save $140 on the job. It is a good idea to do however.

    I’m wondering if this is the reason my truck has a bit of a sluggish feel to it. I think I’m going to replace all the spark plugs soon and see if it runs happier after.

    I'm knocking on 90k in my second gen. I've done the filters, engine oil, driveshaft, diffs, transfer case, and have the plugs scheduled in the next couple weeks. Are there any other lubed points I should address while at it?

    Not yet. Bought a couple months ago and the coolant looks good. Trans I'll prob let the dealer do. Brake and power steering are on the list. Never done those myself though...

    Get a pH strip and check the pH of the coolant. Safe range is 6.5 to 7.5, any deviation from that, it's time to change. If the pH is much lower, you will need to flush.
