Final outcome:

arm, leg, and both of my nuts.

Service dept. said my rear diff. was filled with water and mud, and that it overheated. Several teeth in the rear diff. were chipped off pretty badly. That's why my Taco. was making the clunking sound when it was in drive or reverse.

Mechanic said it's a common problem among 4x2 trucks. He said the rear just works too hard to move the vehicle in harsh conditions such as mud and dirt. In short, advised to off-road in a 4x4 instead as power is disbursed to all 4 wheels so it doesn't work as hard. And to also stay away from the mud hole pond. lol.

Parts + labor = $2900. That doesn't include the $375 bill for towing it back 90 miles. Keep in mind, I didn't even have it towed all the way back to my place in Frisco. It was towed to San Bruno Melody Toyota Service Dept. San Bruno is 15 minutes away from Frisco.

Rear differ. breather mod, HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

so is it fixed? can the taco come and play on sunday?

 

It is fixed! But I feel like it doesn't sound the same anymore! The Taco. will be in San Diego! I'm going down to MCRD San Diego to see a friend of mine graduate from boot camp. I'll be coming back to the city late Sunday afternoon.

I will come out next time! And I know, I know. You guys miss my Chinese food. lol. Don't worry, you'll get some good shit next time.

 

Yeah you better bring the good shit I want fresh duck!
But seriously those pork buns were delicious!

 

all i hear is about your great chinese food...cmon im hungry!

 

what do you mean your taco doesnt sound the same?

 

You can clearly hear the rear differ. spin when you accelerate. It's just a lite sound. Maybe I'm just going crazy???

 

oic...

 

Roast duck w/sauce, pork dumplings, BBQ pork wrapped in a flaky roll (baked), egg custard with pastry surrounding it, fried rice, roast pork, all the good shit! Ya I know, it pays to have someone around whose oriental. lol.

Damn it I'm hungry now. Got home at 9pm from school, had dinner, and now finally relaxing. But I have to get up early to hit the gym, do homework, and work!

FML!!

 

Will I be needing a rear dif breather mod? I'm scared now.

Travis you have recovery equipment? I've only got a sport but it's 4x4 and I'm a newbie to off roading. Right now I can only go sunday still depending on my health and I'm slowly getting my wife to go so I don't leave her alone again. So Im' 60/40, 60 % chance of going but don't hold to it, I'm day by day right now.

 

Where do you live? I'm picking up the parts to do Travis's today and if you aren't too far you could just bring your truck by and ill do yours too.
