3rd Gen DIY maintenance quick reference

Question, If I have a scan gauge tool connected to OBDI that gives me the ATF temp, any reason I can't skip the "jumping" and related steps?

 

I think you skip the jumping since you don't need to truck computer to do the flashing P/D application. Just wait until it gets up to 95*F - 115*F (I believe is the start and end of the ATF testing temp range).

 

this is exactly what I do, use scangauge to read temps for transmission service fluid replacement.

 

awesome. thanks for letting me know. it makes this DIY much less intimidating. I didn't love the idea of bridging ports on the OBDI. Sounds like a great way to fry your ECU if you get it wrong.

 

Goofy question, but was about to change both differential oils, manual transmission oil and transfer case oil. Does 4-LO and 4-HI use the transfer case? Just wanted to ensure I am changing all the necessary oils.

 

Anyone here changing out the transmission filter when changing the transmission oil?

 

Yeah it does...little tip on the T-case...it takes like 1.1 qrt and is very spendy. Don't buy 2 qrts for this, just drain old into clean container. Then fill with clean new, and if necessary top off with .1 qrt of the old from the clean container...at 60K my t-case oil was pretty damn clean.

Front diff will be dirty, Tranny will be clean and rear diff clean as well...but i dont know your mileage

 

Another FYI to expand on this. They sell the fluid in liter cans, a liter is 1.05 quarts.

 

Yup, true dat...canuck here and bought in litres...still came up just a tad short, which is why I did what I stated above

 

Thanks, @TeecoTaco, the tip on the T-case was spot on. As well, correct on front diff being dirty, tranny and rear diff being clean. manual trans was clean, too.

 

anybody got a good video for re-torquing prop shaft bolts?

 

Nice write up

 

Thanks so much for this. As a newb, this is really helpful and gives me the confidence to address myself.

great job!

 

really good write up

 

Just a heads up...Zero........ Zero zerks on my 2020 TRD OR 4x4. I was not expecting to find any on the rear shaft (confirmed) but was expecting to find 2 zerks on the front shaft. Removed heat shield and rotated shaft many times, there are no zerks on my front shaft on either end. Front Spicer Dana shaft B on 2020 TRD OR4x4 = no zerks at all.

 

does anyone know the torque specs for the 4 bolts on the transmission crossmember for a 16DCSB? Looking to put on my mid skid this weekend and cant find them.

 

This is from 2016 service manual not sure if it has what you need but does show the cross members

 

thanks not sure if its what im looking for either. ive been told 48ft lbs on the good old facebook, found the link someone posted up for the 16 service manual, currently combing throught that.

 

The bolts are 14mm and I’m a bit of a mechanical noob, trying to do as much myself as i can to learn.

 

For anyone who has added a rear ARB locker to a 3rg gen sport. Is changing the differential fluid a different now? procedure wise and fluid wise?
