Not to mention the transmission fluid im about to buy.

PS. i really want to go with Royal purple, but i cant find anyone that has it.
I might have to put valvolene synthetic 70w95? Was that it?

xxxtreme22r

summit or jegs should have it. I think summit has it for like $18 a quart.

Bojangles

Yeah i saw it at summit for 18 a quart, but im putting the tranny in tomorrow morning early.
So i might have to role with valvolene sythetic...
Any objections?

xxxtreme22r

I don't see it hurting any. Or you can just dump some cheap stuff in there now until you can get the bottles from summit.

Bojangles

Valvolene is on sale right now pretty cheap. I think it was like 8 bucks a quart.
Not including my work discount.

No slowing down!! You're on a roll now!

It's funny how those 34's look just right on your rig and my 33's look MASSIVE on mine haha

87hillbillyoter

looks good man!

Bojangles

Haha I hear ya man.
Well the roll has slowly decreased to a...idk a waddle?
Autozone just called to inform me that they shipped the wrong transmission and they were over nighting a new one to me. So if my buddie isn't busy friday that's when it will be going in. If not, ill have to wait till monday.

But to speed things back up to a roll again, I just ordered a new flywheel over night for the truck and it should be here in the morning
So there's another 60 dropped into the rig. Along with the 35 dollars I'm about to spend in transmission fluid. I wish I could get purple power but not much choice right now. Ill keep yall updated.

dude you got some patience haha. that sucks. i cant believe they screwed up again

Bojangles

If I wasn't afraid of gettin banned, I would be letting out a string of sailor words but ill be nice for yotatech. Haha. If it happens again, ill have someones as...donkey.

87hillbillyoter

haha yea. i know what you mean.

edit: woah just realized i hit 1000 posts. i swear i was at like 600 yesterday

Haha looks awesome. Whatever oil you run realistically wont make any difference, its a toyota.....it'll probably run without oil haha.

Nice find on the brake cable though lol. The Dorman company I told you about makes a couple rear cables, you just have to figure out which one you need to buy to replace the one thats broken....it is broken right? hard to tell from the pics....

Bojangles

Bahaha yes!!! I think its safe to say we all own the toughest vehicles ever made!

I decided on the Valvolene synthetic 75w90
It was on sale and i got it all for about $38.00



Haha and yeah its broken..
I didn't have a good chance to look at it before i came to work but it looks like its gonna cost me a good 60 bucks or so...

Bojangles

Hahaha i know! i looked at mine the other day and was like "Holy crap....I shot up there haha."

trevorrhine

I need to get around changing my tranny and differential(s) oil.
What weight do people on here recommend. Non-synthetic for stuff with 200K on it?

Dang AUTOBONE! I was in there the other day, ....the girl back there, when I asked her for exhaust studs, M10x1.25.....said, "Is that the bolt that holds in the tail pipe?".... Uhhhhh, lol.

Best to ya, Bo, ....thanks for your input man, it's always appreciated.

Bojangles

You know bubba, im really not a transmission guy so i honestly couldn't tell you.
I posted a thread not to long ago asking what i should put in a NEW transmission, but your more than welcome to go high jack that thread and see what you can find.

Haha ive always said, "The qualifications for working at an auto parts store are...Breathing."
Yeah man not a problem. Im actually about to switch over to your thread right now.
Hope things are well. Hit me up if you need anything.

Bojangles

Well, I'm outside working on the truck now. Its about 45 degrees so its not to bad. And the rain surprisingly let up so that's a plus. I'm not a 100% sure but that oil leak I had, I believe I've fixed it just by tightening the valve cover down real good. I decided to take the bumper caps off and paint them. Pictures will be up later. New flywheel is here...everything's going pretty smooth except I don't have a parking brake...or second gear...two important items for a manual transmission with super swampers....

Bojangles

Alrighttt...There hasn't been a whole lot i could do on the truck do to the weather.
I took the bed caps off because i was bored and painted them Lol.
