    Hello friends from Tacoma WOrld !!!!!

    I have a 2006 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab Sports Package with 42350 miles ....I bought it brand new in December 2005 ....

    Should I replace my spark plugs at this amount of miles or should I wait ????

    Should I also replace the limited slip differential (LSD) ?????




    Thank you all for the help ..... Thanks from New Jersey ....

    Yes to the plugs.
    Are you talking about changing out the entire rear end gear set for something else or just the fluid??

    If you aren't sure if it was done and/or how the last owner drove it- It is cheap peace of mind to replace it. Like was mentioned above- Use the LSD friction modifier in whatever gear oil you choose.

    if it hasnt been done, then i would, toyota recommends those 2 items be done at 30k miles..

    and if it did happen to be done, its not going to hurt..

    i personally would change it now, then again at 60k, just to get it back on track of the service schedule...
