    All U-joints are like pants, you put them on one leg at a time. if U know what I mean. I have installed U joints of all types, and sizes. Some as big as your fist, and as small as your pinkie, OEM and aftermarket. They all go on the same way.
    And trust me I’ve tried putting on my pants two legs at a time too. result, not so good.


    You can look up the original U-joints low on grease on the forum, the OP started. He gives all the spec and high temp grease along with the brand he recommends.
    IDK if he’s a sales man for that brand or not, but there are many top tier brands out there that meet Toyota specs, therefore I don’t want ppl to think I’m a salesman for that brand.
    All top quality brands that meet or exceed Toyota specs and ought to work just fine. Spec are also in your owners manual.



    Dude! Prove me wrong already. Show me a rash of failed transmission that failed because were low 2qts of ATF, or a ton U-joints that failed because of the lack of grease will you??
    Of course you won’t, thinkgs don’t work the way you think. I've been there done that.
    Now good nite Ya’ll, happy motoring no worries! :)

    Cheers!

    Edit: And btw…For all ya’ll that say I’m wrong and the factory is wrong on the amount of ATF and grease, it’s not your word against mine, but your word against the factory, dealers and engineers and suppliers you’re going against.
    And you’re worrying ppl without merit.
    Hope that helps
    Cheers!

    You know... One dealer told me to gently pack sand after ordering my truck and screwing me over. I told them to shove it. 9ver a month later and "my" truck is still on their lot, while I've ordered/purchased/taken delivery of another at a different dealer.

    How much are you paying? Regardless, once the deposit delivery date is passed, take a picture of your purchase agreement, email it to the next closest dealership. Tell them how much less it would take for you to drive 5 hours to them. Use the invoice price in the attached file as a baseline. I paid $100 over invoice. You might have to wait a few weeks longer for them to get the truck. If they can make it worth your while, do the deal with them. If not, or you don't want to wait, you take delivery as planned. No skin off your back. It can't hurt, at least you tried. Good luck

    If it were me, and I have done this. Wait till the truck is delivered. As the contract is null/void in two days. Go get your deposit go to another dealer with the VIN# and tell them I seen this truck at this dealer but wont deal with them.
