Hey Connecticut, our everything hurts

Saw someone with a Dark blue Taco that was lifted heading westbound on 84 on the NY line. Hurt my neck trying to get a look lol. Nice truck.

 

Can't say I've seen that one yet. I've seen a red one once in a while that was pretty nice too.

 

I agree with @dcorbalis state park would probably be the best place for a meet up

Replacement

1. REPLACE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID

Adjustment

1. BEFORE REFILL TRANSMISSION

• • This transmission requires Toyota Genuine ATF WS or equivalent.
  • It is necessary to refill the transmission with the correct amount of fluid.
  • The vehicle must remain level while adjusting the transmission fluid level.
  • On vehicles equipped with active suspension, turn the suspension control switch off if it is necessary to jack up the vehicle with the engine running.

1. TRANSMISSION PAN FILL

(a) Remove the refill plug and overflow plug.

(b) Fill the transmission through the refill hole until fluid begins to trickle out of the overflow tube.





Text in Illustration






(c) Reinstall the overflow plug.

1. TRANSMISSION FILL

(a) Fill the transmission with the correct amount of fluid as listed in the table below.
(b) Reinstall the refill plug to avoid fluid splash.





HINT
If you cannot add the listed amount of fluid, do the following:

• Install the refill plug.
• Allow the engine to idle with the air conditioning off.
• Move the shift lever through entire gear range to circulate fluid.
• Wait for 30 seconds with the engine idling.
• Stop the engine.
• Remove the refill plug and add fluid.
• Reinstall the refill plug.

1. FLUID CIRCULATION

(a) Allow the engine to idle with the air conditioning off.
(b) Move the shift lever through entire gear range to circulate fluid.

1. FLUID TEMPERATURE CHECK

NOTICE:
The fluid temperature can be confirmed by checking the indicator light in the meter or by using the Techstream. When using the Techstream, it is necessary to change to temperature detection mode in order to idle the vehicle appropriately.

(a) When using the Techstream:
(1) Turn the ignition switch off.
(2) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(3) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(4) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Connect the TC and TE1.
(5) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / A/T Oil Temperature 1.
(6) Check ATF temperature.
NOTICE:

* If the fluid temperature is below 46°C (115°F), proceed to the next step. (Recommended ATF temperature: 36°C (97°F) or less.)
* If the fluid temperature is 46°C (115°F) or more, turn the ignition switch OFF and wait until the fluid temperature drops below 46°C (115°F).
(7) According to the display on the Techstream, perform the Active Test "Connect the TC and TE1".
HINT
Indicator lights of the combination meter blink to output DTCs when TC and TE1 are connected.

(8) Start the engine.
NOTICE:
Check that electrical systems such as the air conditioning system, audio system and lighting system are off.

(b) When not using the Techstream (using indicator light):

(1) Using SST, connect terminals 13 (TC) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.
SST : 09843-18040

(2) Start the engine.
NOTICE:
Check that electrical systems such as the air conditioning system, audio system and lighting system are off.

HINT
Indicator lights of the meter blink to output DTCs when terminals TC and CG are connected.

(c) Slowly move the shift lever from P to L, and then return the shift lever to P.
HINT
Slowly move the shift lever to circulate the fluid through each part of the transmission.

(d) Move the shift lever to D, and quickly move back and forth between N and D (once within 1.5 seconds) for at least 6 seconds. This will activate the fluid temperature detection mode.

Standard condition:

A/T OIL TEMP warning light remains illuminated for 2 seconds and then turns off.



(e) When using the Techstream:
(1) Return the shift lever to P and terminate the Active Test on the Techstream.
(f) When not using the Techstream:
(1) Return the shift lever to P and disconnect terminals 13 (TC) and 4 (CG).
(g) Allow the engine to idle until the fluid temperature reaches 36 to 46°C (97 to 115°F).
(h) The A/T OIL TEMP warning light will come on again when the fluid temperature reaches 36°C (97°F) and will blink when it exceeds 46°C (115°F).
Indicator Indication of ATF Temperature:




NOTICE:


* When checking the fluid temperature using the indicator light, make sure that the shift lever is in P.
* Perform the fluid level inspection while the indicator light is on.

1. FLUID LEVEL CHECK

NOTICE:
The fluid temperature must be between 36°C (97°F) and 46°C (115°F) to accurately check the fluid level.

(a) Remove the overflow plug with the engine idling.

(b) Check that the fluid comes out of the overflow tube.
If fluid does not come out, proceed to step 7.

If fluid comes out, wait until the overflow slows to a trickle and proceed to step 8.

1. TRANSMISSION REFILL

(a) Install the overflow plug.
(b) Stop the engine.
(c) Remove the refill plug.
(d) Add 0.4 liters (0.42 US qts, 0.35 Imp. qts) of fluid.
(e) Allow the engine to idle and wait for 10 seconds.
(f) Proceed to step 6.

1. COMPLETE

(a) Install the overflow plug with a new gasket.
Torque : 20 Nm (204 kgf-cm, 15 ft-lbf)

(b) Stop the engine.
(c) Install the refill plug with a new gasket.
Torque : 39 Nm (400 kgf-cm, 29 ft-lbf)

 

Cool; sounds like we all pretty much have the same idea

 

Happy Friday eve folks!

Soggy out there... ARGH. Supposed to be nice next week though, so got that to look forward to at least.

 

IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!

 

Indeed it is! Thank God!

Happy Friday folks! Last night I put on that tailgate anti theft ring that scream makes and sells on here.

 

Happy Friday, May my interview go well this morning, good lunch this afternoon & rocking out this evening!

 

wunderground says 81 for Tuesday!

 

Interview as in interview for a new job?

 

Hey just an FYI for anyone looking my company is looking to hire a warehouse guy if anyone needs a job, it's definitely Manuel labor and the pay isn't anything to write home about but it's a job

 

Yes! It is done!

Be starting May 1st

 

Nice! Congrats sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Again, I am starting from the bottom & clawing my way up. I am at 50% of what I made 1 year ago!

 

That's the shitty part about starting over... bummer.

 

Happy sunny Saturday...

 

Indeed. Happy Saturday folks!

Debating whether or not I want to get in trouble with the wife over some rims that a NE member is selling over on the NE marketplace thread.

 

Hope everyone has had a chance to finally hit the trucks hard with power wash to remove any residual salt. I learned the hard way that the black trim between the fender flares and truck body will ripple and deform if you are too aggressive with the power washer. Be careful...

Also I hit my truck again with a light fluid film spring spray. I have a little left if anyone wants some added protection for summer. $30 for the lighter spring application.
