    It looks like a pain to get at the fill plug I'm thinking a large SYRINGE 1.5L would work best. What have you found that works well on the Tundra?

    Yup. 5/8" O.D. 6' long piece. Presto.

    Once you get the tube routed (drivers side) it is useful to get it nicely positioned in the engine bay for adding fluid then tape it into position so it doesn't move. And cause I don't take chances on spills I tape it secure also down at the transmission.

    I use a slippery pete pump on my transmission, diffs and tcase. It works great and no needing to snake tubes from above.
