Sweet video. You can can easily run the spark plugs until 120k miles. Those plugs are pricey haha. Also a suggestion for changing out coolant at the recommended interval would be to prevent electrolysis. Checking voltage within the coolant can prevent the coolant corroding metals and pre mature gasket failure 👍

Could you you just jack up the front and turn ur steering wheel back and forth to flush the old fluid instead of driving?

Where can I get the OTT tune in Oregon. I live in Roseburg, but am willing to travel 300 miles to get it done. 2022 TRD PRO in Electric Lime with a manual trans......

ROCK ON BROTHER! 👍

Absolutely love your videos and appreciate all you! I am about to check the fluid level on my 2022 Tacoma but had a question from your other video when you pin the thermostat in before you start draining. Is it necessary to have it pinned in when filling and checking the level too? Or can you remove it once everything has drained?

Thank you for the video! Feeding it around the fan was a great call!

Thanks so much for doing these videos! I had to replace my transmission oil pan a few weeks ago because the drain plug got stripped out and wished this video was available. You have no idea how much it means to a new wrencher to have a thorough and detailed video to follow along with and instill confidence to doing the job. Would love to request a video to replace u-joints on the 3rd gen!

Question - Do I need to pin the thermostat on the side of the transmission before checking the fluid level? I've seen several videos where they would pin the thermostat first while others didn't. Not sure which way is correct. Thanks

finally a guy that cuts the old belt rather then wrestling around with it uncut

I have a 2024 sr5 air dam on....24mpg

Great video, excellent work ethic

thanks, will do this today

Amazing video , also as. 4runner owner this type of maintenance are the same for 4runners too

If you have a power rear view mirror and $35 to burn, you can pick up a Dongar mirror power adapter which will add a USB outlet right behind your rear view mirror. Then you can plug the camera into that with a 6 inch cable. Just as clean as hardwiring into an add-a-fuse or battery, but way easier. But be warned that with this setup, the cameras will only be on when the ignition is on; works fine in my case since I park in low risk areas 99% of the time.

Thanks for a "to the point" video. Appreciate it.

Can you PLEASE make a video on how to bleed the brakes on a 3rd gen TRD off road!! I can’t find a video anywhere, they’re all just sports and the standard way of bleeding brakes.

I don’t see any ports for hooking up the grease gun on my 2007’s drive shaft. Is it different for earlier generation Tacomas?

So there is no dipstick?

I snapped off one of my lug studs on the back of my 2017 Taco…. Am I going to have to disassemble the drum brake to get it out??

For those of us deep in the rust belt, how likely are those transmission pan bolts to snap off and need to be drilled out?

That new pump you put a link to is gonna be a must have! Did transmission fluid today and there’s so much fluid in the traditional pump (tubes and the pump body) it’s actually hard to tell when you hit 3.5 quarts!

Since when are spark plugs a difficult thing to replace? Is there something specific to the taco v6 that makes it a difficult job? Something in the way?

Picked up my TB cleaner. Had 1/3 van but can never have too much. Got that on the ‘to-do’ list this weekend. Ran out of time doing lawn maintenance and retrieving mother in law from hospital. 😮 3 days off should give me enough time for all the home repairs/corrections.

What length of 5/8 heater hose did you end up using?

To the guy saying remote start needs to be within 75 feet, that's unfortunate. I can use my Toyota app and it'll reach out to about 100 yards. I wonder if he was only using key fob..

Great video! You should make one of these. I made one for my transmission services and one for my differential services. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qa92ZrqAr53Dop8.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ib1_f9Bk07yUiJc.html I made similar to both of the vidoes above but made some modifications. It works pretty well.

If i buy a burp funnel what process does that eliminate?? Having to rev the engine and squeezing the radiator hose??

What is the dangers of doing a complete flush, I never see any videos on that process?

Where did you get your hood deflector?

Best video got this DIY project. Watched it a few times and tackled the project easily. Took about 2 hours. Thanks so much!

@Teamoildrop Do you have a video on the top engine cleaner service?

My bilstein 4600 b6s were an absolute pain to compress, drivers side was manageable but passenger side took me a little while. Ended making the top bolt finger tight and using a ratchet strap to compress the shock above the ubolt assembly and release the ratchet strap n push the shock in really quickly 😂

Bro you make it look easy 😂👍

Good video! I installed these 4 years ago in my 2020 Tacoma and they’ve held up well. Another benefit of them is when towing, they help hold the tongue weight and help stabilize the load.

so i have 19000 on my 23 taco,, too soon for this?

Now do a Jeep.

Love having a manual when doing this

Does the vehicle need the idle to be relearned after performing the cleaning since the flap is being manually moved opened and closed?

Good Stuff. A good leader always checks on his partners.

These videos are amazing! These get me excited about keeping my 2018 Tacoma on the road for as long as possible. Thank you!

do you happen to know the part numbers for.......or even a link for them -fill plug rubber gasket -drain plug(crush washer already linked) -check plug(crush washer already linked) my check plug is especially rusty and i should replace it after next flush All of this is only possible due to your videos and knowledge shared....... thank you

Fantastic video. Definitely make is easy to follow. Curious, what mileage your truck is currently?

As you were tightening the valve, noticed that you held the torque wrench near the head rather than at the handle. Just an FYI, click style torque wrenches are accurate only when you hold them at the handle. Not a huge deviation holding closer to the head, but just wanted to mention it. This video explains it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZsxnZ5mhq5fck2Q.html

Do you do this as preventive maintenance? If so, approximately how many miles interval? If not PM, how do you know when to replace it? BTW, every video you do is awesome.

Any concerns that the valvomax is hanging down and subject to being torn off if you drive over something?

Is the bolt that is used to pull back the pulley also the bolt that is used to take the pulley off if you need to replace it? How do you make sure you're not loosening the bolt when you're pulling back the tensioner pulley?

I did it on my 2020 and it does need to use the jumper wire in obd port

Another great video! Where did you get your ramps? I've always been scared of those things.

How long did it take for you to get them? Their website says 1-2 day to ship out. Its been a week and i havent gotten any updates. Thanks

How do I know when I should just drain and fill vs when I should actually drop the pan, do the gasket, bushings, and filter?? 2017 with 82k
