Oil change and extras?

When I take my truck to the dealership (yes I know, stealership.. but it is actually fairly cheap) to get an oil change they try to get me to have the rear end flushed and all this other stuff - total cost of about $600. I've talked to several people that have never had that done and their trucks run fine for several hundred thousand miles. What do you guys think?

 

I think if you plan to keep the truck for a long time, just follow the maintenance schedule in your manual and you'll be fine.

 

Changing the rear diff fluid is simple, you can buy the "Best" syn oil available and do it in less then 30 min for less then $40 or so

 

Gotcha. Yeah I found this thread a few minutes ago and it has some good instructions: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/te...nance-2nd-gen-30-000-60-000-90-000-miles.html
