Eastcoastcam Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Also, pick up a haynes manual, and sign up to the Toyota forums and start amassing tools and start learning to wench on your truck. When you need help or advice, people will help when possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With it, i dunno. I was worried, I didn't know the diff was gonna blow up or not at highway speed with the front diff locked engaged ( Guess that warning must only apply to the Tcase ) But it didn't, running much better, ain't running rich anymore (didnt burn 40$ of supreme in 60KM) I gotta do the Tcase seals again started to see them seeping and rig up a new skid plate. Honestly call up another dealer even out of town, I'm pretty sure there prices be better then O'regans. I know with VW I get a better deal out in Truro, then Hillcrest or Steele. James and I both know how much rip off Toyota parts are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRUXterra Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Search online for Factory shop manuals; they are far superior to Haynes/Chilton manuals for obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potato Digger Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I find if you do your research and don't skimp out on the lower end of the aftermarket products, you will find the parts are made produced more superior than the dealer. As for the mechanical part I learned through my father, Haynes manuels, and forums. Do it yourself is best and if you require special tools you can borrow them at Canadian Tire! Shawn learnt a lot about his jeep when we fixed his axle and installed 4 Ball Joints. That is a large part of being a club member, help one another and if someone is working on their vehicle and looking for help even if you are not mechanically inclined and it is a different vehicle go hand them tools, bring them coffee, and watch cause vehicles are similar in a lot of ways and you can still get good info.
