    Before I do my next oil change, I was wondering if anyone has a list of grease points on the 4g, or if there even are any.

    Manuals these days don’t really give much maintenance info,


    And it’s all the way out in the truck and I’m stuck doing online work training so I’m bored

    There's usually at least the service interval lists. Perhaps they don't hand you the big black packet of manuals anymore? Last one I bought in 2015 had a fist full of documents, 50% of which were Entune manual, which is a big fat lying crime of humanity. The skinny little manual was service intervals to go get raped at the dealer.

    The only thing in the maintenance schedule is "lubricate clutch fork".

    I'd like to know how to "Re-torque propeller shaft bolt" because I'm sure the deal doesn't do it.

    The U-joints are sealed, and they did that because they last a lot longer.

    Fun fact, in years past- 4wd tundra's had grease zerks on the u-joints, 2wd did not.

    Get a torque wrench, put the truck in park and make sure the bolts that hold the drive shaft to the differential are tightened to spec.

    Another Fun Fact: Tundras no longer have grease-able U-joints.

    Good riddance. My 16 came with greasable joints. Pain in the butt to do yourself and most shops couldn’t be bothered. They Still don’t last very long.
