Hey guys. New to my 16taco. Just wondering what intervals y’all do your maintenance and what tasks you do at what mileage. For example I’ve heard every10k for oil and tire rotation but it being a fairly new vehicle I’m unsure of when other preventative maintenance intervals should happen. Thanks!

At what mileage do you guys do preventative maintenance on your transmissions? And what do you do to prolong the life of your transmissions?

Hey guys! 09 tacoma here. Just reached 200k. What would you recommend for preventative maintenance so I can last another 100k? I do keep up with the oil and plugs. Did my tranny fluid and gear oil as well. What should I focus on and what should I not waste my time on? Thanks!

Anyone ever have to replace your steering shaft ? My ujoint is getting sticky and it's hard to steer. Was wondering if I'd be able to do it myself or do I need to bring it to a shop? Or possibly temp fix for a while. Thanks guys, Enjoy the day

I've been having some problems with my power steering. It's been getting pretty stiff lately. The fluid isn't low but it could use a flush. I'm hoping a flush with new fluid will fix the problem. Has anyone done a DIY flush or do I need to find a special pump. I've been watching YouTube videos...

How often do y'all flush your radiators?

So I was diagnosed at the dealership with a right rear wheel bearing. 09 Tacoma 4.0 4wd. Now it's to my understanding that the bearing is pressed into the axle. $800 to fix? Or can I find cheaper than the dealership?

So I recently changed out my TC in my transmission. When filling the tranny with fluid again we put a quart in the TC and two quarts in the tranny till it started pouring out of the overfill hole.

Other than my tranny problems, I need to replace my right rear wheel bearing. I'd like to do it myself to get some experience. Any problems any of y'all run into. Do I need a press? 09 Tacoma 4 wheel drive 6cyl 4.0

So a few months ago I posted a thread on my transmission problem. Low RPM shifting made the whole truck shake and shudder. Got it diagnosed at the dealership. Turns out it's the torque converter. Due to the high mileage on my truck they recommended a remanned tranny. So I will be buying a...

What are some of your favorite tires to buy for different driving styles?

So I have an 09 Tacoma 4.0 4wd 6 cyl. When I'm at about 1400rmp and the automatic tranny is shifting, it shudders for a little before it goes in gear. It only does this at half throttle. Some days it's worse than others. Then some days I don't notice it. Any ideas guys? 150,000 miles on it.
