What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Nice!!

 

No pictures, but did the rear diff fluid change with valvoline

$39 75w-90 GL-5 Limited Slip, Ultra Long Drain 500k Miles, Manual Transmission, Gear/Differential Lubricant (1 Gallon)

75w-90 synthetic and the t-case with ravenol 75W. rear diff was replaced under warranty at 35k so got new fluid then, and now just approaching 70k. both fluids were fairly dark. the replacement fluids were nearly clear! this was the 1st t-case change. will probably shorten the interval for both seeing the condition of the fluids, as I do a lot of towing. also did a drain and fill on the trans. started doing them annually at 50k with the toyota trans fluid...also darker than i'd like but no weird smells...need to figure out a better way to put the new fluid in. using a extractor syringe for lack of a better term, to pump the new fluid in takes forever and is a messy PITA.

 

Got the P0418 code and decided to replace both of the SAI pumps, which was a pain to align properly. I then tried to erase the code, but had no luck, the OBD scanner said it was erased, but the light is still on and the code keeps coming back.

I've been doing some research and decided to check the SAI relay, but I can't seem to access it or figure out how to replace it. There doesn’t appear to be any standard access, and I can't see inside to determine if anything is shorted. The fuse box lid indicates there are four relays or fuses on that line, but I can’t seem to see or access them to test.

Any help on how to remove the A/PUMP NO. 2 50A fuse or relay would be greatly appreciated.

 

Much better way from up top from the engine bay with qt bottle fill tube and 5/8 ID hose from Home Depot. Poke a vent hole in the bottom of the transmission fluid bottle.
Tool Demo Guy has a good YouTube video on the process

Looks awesome. When you start to think about it, a flat bed make way more sense than a standard bed..

 

thanks, i'll give this a go next time. that looks much better.

 

Oil change, 8qts out, 7.5qts in.

 

Finally made the grab handle upgrade. My wife loves it and I am finding that I am using it!
The start:
Old panel removed
New panel cut to fit
Lowes hardware used
And the results

 

New wheels! Discount Tire damaged my last set and paid for a replacement set so I got a different color.
