    Lots on 07 ... getting started on 19
    hmm... the dumb woman that helped me find the fluid weights i needed didnt apparently know about LSD fluid anyways so i guess this is why i had no idea i needed some additives. ill try and see if i can find some. is this necessary or just somethin that would help in the long run? oh, & i do have LS diff

    hmm... not that im aware of. i dont have a TRD, just an SR5 4x4. everythings gayly automatic :rolleyes: (unless im a tard and i have it and dont know it... pretty sure i dont though)

    If you do have the LS diff, you need the addative, or the diff will chatter.

    Thanks Chris. I was going to ask you first but thought I should ask the guy that posted the pic. I needed to know what to ask for at the parts store so I don't look like more of an ignorant a-hole then I already do. Curious George

    I try to learn something every day and most days it's from TW. I'm a TW addict and I only have 370 posts. What I want to know is how do you get 35,105 post. I'm on here all the time and it will take me 10 years to get 35,105 posts. Thanks :D

    Spec calls for 3 quarts, so you should be fine.

    Great write-up... thank you for the pictures. I did the job this morning but I have to admit to a BOZO move. I was under the truck and my buddy handed me the first quart of oil to refill with a hose on the end to make it easier - I didn't realize he put a small plastic cap into the end of the hose to cap it... put the hose in, squeezed the bottle, cap pops off. I tried to drain the diff again to see if it would come out - no luck! I have to figure that the small soft piece of plastic won't really hurt anything, just get ground up in there.

    Wondering if anyone else has done this or if you think its a big deal or not? Would rather not pull the axles and all that mess to open the case up.

    thanks.

    Umm.....I have no experianc ewith that, so I dont know if it will hurt. Personally, I would pull the 3rd off, and get it out.
