Broken front diff 2018

What's missing is the rest of the story.

 

If that bolt was loose it could explain alot.
If there was work done on the front probably dosnt recheck torque after a few miles.

 

That wouldn’t make it explode like that

 

I don't know about that, seen worse with these. DD spacers are evil.

 

If he didnt torque the bolts and check them again it makes total since.

 

I'm sure it has, but they probably wouldn't expect Toyota to pay for their carelessness. My observation still stands.

 

Something not adding up. I've had off road damage repaired under warranty even when I expected to pay. I was told that based on Toyota advertising the use of the truck in such situations they are obligated to repair damage caused while using it under those same conditions. IF the truck is unaltered.

 

It happened to a fellow jason. Jason. Lol
But he was in the rocks and took credit for his mishap. Not quite as bad as this guys, but explosive non less

 

Jimmy????? Should a cut right.

 

JIMMY!!!

 

Water is one of the heaviest elements and when you try to use the truck as a snowplow...its gonna break. Have to agree with Toyota on this one since you gave them the evidence to deny the claim.

 

I have had Differential Drops on a couple Toyota's (Fj Cruiser and Tacoma 1st gen) that I have driven hard off road so when properly installed I kinda am hard pressed to fall for that they are the Cause of breakage alone. I always been told two two things about when stuck with a Big First is do not accelerate forward then sudden reverse and back to forward <---- auto trans folks love to do that reason is because that can apply a tremendous amount of torque on things = Snap! and of course don't spin the hell out of things and let it hit dead traction for the same reason. So what is missing in the story?

 

Your truck was stock?

 

Well I just searched for other Tacoma broken front diffs and typed into a search online and the top three searches come up with this thread already!

It’s always the same. Throttle on a steep ascent, down comes the front wheel and Brrrrrrttttt!

Since when? I have one and have never had issues. Bad CV angles are worse

 

This actually gets boring. It’s always the same scenario. Every time. Throttle on an ascent with the front wheels unweighted.

And this is why I’m so hesitant wasting money on ifs
