    Don't be surprised if you still have the sound after the diff is replaced.

    x3. Second diff might have been twice as bad as the original.

    I’m running amsoil severe gear oil and had the tsb.

    Biggest help was moving to bigger tires (265/75r16). Moved the howl into the high 40s low 50s where I don’t drive much. Next try is lift springs.

    Closing in on 50k on the truck and maybe 45k on the second differential. Diff hasn’t exploded and the howl hasn’t changed much. We will see.

    Truck info listed above. Noticed a faint howling noise within the first few weeks of ownership. Seems to have gotten louder now at around 1500 miles. I'm not compelled to do anything about it yet. I will bring it up at my first visit to service.

    My least favorite part of the Colorado was it’s transmission. It was awful! Actually needs to be looked at by someone because it’s not right. I feel sorry for the guy or gal who ends up buying it. If you ever google Colorado transmission problems you’ll find many unsatisfied customers with problems. The interior wasn’t as comfortable or set up as good as the Tacoma and the ride was really rough. It also doesn’t look as good imo. The way they have the rake set up on that pickup is not attractive.

    My howl was isolated to ~60mph before the TSB. After the TSB I had the howl at 60 and 30mpg. The one at 30 wasn’t as loud though.

    You have to have like 4 or 5 dealer visits to file a lemon claim. Even if they don’t fix anything. After 4 or 5 visits you can file for lemon law.

    Any improvement in severity of the 60 mph howl?

    Nope. I bought the truck new and traded it 4 months later after like 25 hours of phone calls with corporate and several dealer visits.

    I’d get another one if I knew they have this problem fixed.

    A few.
    I think they have some type of ongoing lawsuit for those transmissions. The ZR2 is the only model that looks good to me. I actually think the S-10 ZR2s they made back in the 90s look better.

    So it appears they haven't fixed it yet. Toyota moves at glacial speed.

    Mine has it too. I noticed it almost right away. Figured it was "typical" as the dealer would say. I'm closing in on 10k on mine. The SR5 I test drove before getting mine had it as well. High 50s low 60s. I haven't mentioned it to the dealer and if a new diff doesnt fix it which appears it doesnt for most of you I'll probably leave well enough alone and deal with it :facepalm:
