Is there a master maintenance thread for 3rd Gens?

Have a 2016 double cab long bed and it's coming up on the first round of maintenance (since I've owned it). This is my first Toyota and getting frustrated quick trying to find information out on just about everything I've never had problems finding with other brands. I didn't know if somewhere hidden in the threads is a master thread of torque specs/fluids/part numbers/etc... any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

There was a thread on here a day or two ago with a link to a PDF of the maintenance manual but I can't find the thread or I'd post a link. The poster commented that torque values and other info was spread throughout the manual and that the manual did not include a reference page or pages listing all of the specs in one place. I guess that you didn't find the info that you need in the owners manual. Not sure how much data is in there as I'm still getting free maintenance on my truck so I haven't looked for any of that type of info yet but I'll be wanting it also when my freebees expire.

 

Totally true. And horribly frustrating for me. I've been in Toyotas since 1985 and always had the factory service manuals and always used to having a maintenance guide/table and fastener summary list. I was borderline pissed when I found that the 2017 service manual doesn't have one. There is a general written routine service guide that comes with the factory owners manual that steps in about 5,00 mile increments up to about 120,000. But I really think it's all by design to get you to take your rig to the dealer for service.

 

I asked this same question a month ago here https://www.tundras.com/threads/diff-t-case-fluids.36629/

It would be great if their was a maintenance tab for all gens. I am about to do a bunch of fluid changes tomorrow and would like to know the torque spec for the driveshaft bolts. I know there are threads on here about it. I saw it the other day but now I can't remember where.
There are tabs for lighting, detailing, stereos but no location for maintenance. I realize they are Toyotas after all but it would still be nice.

Not to just call out these mods but I don't remember all the screen names/handles. @csuviper or @T-Rex266 is it possible to get a section for maintenance? I don't know if that is some simple task or if we have to put someone into the matrix to re-write the program

 

Thanks! I knew i had seen that before. Now to look for that prop shaft tq one I saw the other day. Ill look in the morning.

 

It’s a Toyota! That is the reason for this lack of information. Just drive it and worry no longer knowing that you have the most reliable truck in the world!

 

I have those manuals and the extent of knowledge gained from them pretty much amounts to grade of oil and intervals of maintenance. Nothing else of worth to those who wish to work on their trucks, and from what I'm already learning in my discussions with the service departments of the dealers even remotely close to me is that they wing it when they don't know (which doesn't cut it for me). I'd rather do my own work, and while these Toyotas are more reliable in the long run, going by the service intervals they are more maintenance intensive (which doesn't bother me a bit, on the contrary I've always enjoyed doing my own work), but I need the information to perform the maintenance. I don't understand the lack of even basic information on the specifics surrounding the service needed. Kind of perplexed reading threads that the dealerships are putting one-off fluids in the trucks they sell because they don't even know how to service them properly for lack of on-hand documentation, or being able to get a part number to order things from their parts department or directly from Toyota myself. Sorry if it sounds like I'm venting but after decades of working on vehicles I've never encountered such a lack of what should be readily available information on such a common vehicle.

Edit: after calling Toyota I was told they don't give out this information because in their view, basically you are too stupid to know this information. *Except*: If you pay for this same info on techinfo.toyota.com on a usage basis, you get the keys to the mint. This will be my last Toyota. Wish I had known this was how they are now operating before I had bought this truck.
