    Got 4 gal myself (and an oil filter for the Camry to bump it over $75). Last gallon I got from the local stealership was $27, so I couldn't pass this up.

    Let us know if the orders actually shipped. I had my “Free Shipping” order cancelled last year due to the weight of the coolant. Hopefully no issues now. I’d like to try again.

    I just did mine last weekend. Needed just under 3 gallon jugs. Drained radiator and motor from the drain cocks.

    Mine definitely shipped, ordered back in September. I order OEM ATF, Steering, transfer case fluid and Coolant online, havent had an issue yet. I just use the Toyota parts finder site, look through every dealer that comes up, so I open probably 50 tabs and choose who has the cheapest price and is closest. I believe Toyota probably lets dealers select what percentage they want to make off of parts because out of the 50 I look at, 10 will have it high, 30 will be middle of the road and 10 will be cheapest but it's all exactly the same price between those particular dealers. The link I posted just happened to be the dealer I order from but you could go and look through the list and find a dealer selling it for the same price, I do this every time I make an order and I laugh when people say "OEM stuff is too expensive so I use cheaper stuff" but yet they just dont shop around.

    Damn, forgot probation. 3rd Gen Tundra is beautiful. Front grill to so manly and completely normal sized. It’s reliability has never been seen in history. The cab off design for basic repairs is ingenious. Sorry, I keep for getting forum rules.

    Do you need to remove the TRD skidplate on a 2014-2021 5.7L to do the coolant drain? If I do, then I'd like to do this this weekend while I'm doing other work under there and dropping the skidplate anyway

    Look underneath and see if you can see this. If you can then you dont need to. The 2 valves the engine are accessible through the wheel wells. This is a good write up here.

    Hmmm well I already put it back on, but I did see that, and it doesn't look super accessible with the plate on. We'll see come warmer weather and I feel like getting it done!
