Just did my diffs and transfer case .
I just did both diferentials and my transfer case .I had all previous maintanance done by Toyota .It wasn`t that hard it took me about 2hrs including the skid plate .I found the bolts on the front differential and the back one tough to losen . The rest was just patience .I let the dealer do the tranny since I had a hard time findin the filler hole . I used Amsoil synthetic for the transfer cases and differential and Mobil 1 for the motor earlier.
Easy job I would never go back to the dealer for this service any more .

Ditto... I was surprised at how easy the diff stuff is.
The only hassle is having to go pick up replacement washers. Which reminds me I have to go do that soon....

i agree about not taking it to the dealer....unfortunately i dont have the time nor any place to do the work.....even an oil change would require me driving to my fathers house, its just as easier to drive to the dealer.......
glad to see you didnt run into any problems....for me its always that last bolt that gets stuck or something dumb like that, never fails...

I have a question about the fluid to use in the diff. I know to use 80w-90 hypoid gear oil but what is hypoid? I tried to find a bottle that said it but the closest thing I could find was Castrol hypoy C. I dont know what hypoy C is or what hypoid is. Any help would be appreciated.
