    I have an 05 Tacoma with about 145K on it, I am not 100% sure what fluids have been replaced as far as Diffs and Transmission, Should I replace them or not, I have seen some people say it will cause more problems if I do, and some people say to do it, What is your opinions???

    How long have you had it?

    Also, my unprofessional opinion... Swap the fluids, but don't do a flush

    I agree with the flush on the trans. But it wouldn’t hurt to do the diffs i did mine at 100k

    i would say diffs and trans drain and fill with filter change. no flush. it can be a gamble depending on the condition of your tranny. what color is the oil?

    I would be replacing all fluids and doing a full flush on things you can.

    Transmission flushes do not lead to transmission problems. Not flushing them does.
