This is the best auto maintenance video I’ve ever watched. Speaks when necessary. Silent when you don’t need anything but visuals. Step by step recap at the end. What’s your Radio replacement and diagnostic plug?
Hey man glad to hear it was helpful, thanks for the positive feedback. The OBD scanner has a link in the description- but “OBDLink MX+ OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner for iPhone, Android, and Windows.” Head unit was purchased from Crutchfield- its a JENSEN CAR710W double din 7” (i think) touch screen with wireless and wired apple carplay!
@@mikea.5173Awesome thanks man. I drove a ‘06 Tundra for years then gave it to my dad so I’m gunna help him drain and flush the transmission. Think I’ll hook him up with the scanner and radio too.
Awesome man. Yeah apple car play was a huge upgrade lol. Nice to have the updated tech with the bulletproof truck. Hopefully i can still be tinkering with the truck when my kid gets older! Hope you and your dads wrenching goes smooth, holler if you have questions!
Drain plug crush washer part number: 35178-30010 , the fill plug has a black O-ring. When I buy WS from the dealership I asked them if they can throw in black O-ring for the fill plug and they did :D, do not recall PN for it. Hope this helps
So you drained the oil, filled it with new red oil, cycled through the different shifts - then changed it AGAIN because it somehow got black again over 3 minutes??
Yup. In this video i did TWO drain and fills. The whole system holds 11qts. By doing two drain and fills i changed a little over half the fluid (6qts) , and will continue doing one or two drain and fills every 30-60k miles until i am happy with the color. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching
hey man. Serious question here. So i have 2006 DC as well. Did a drain and fill this weekend. BUT... Im confused about something. I drained 3-3.5 qts. Added 3.5 back. Got truck up to around 115 deg, pulled the overflow plug and nothing. added two more qts one by one and nothing...................... As soon as i shut the motor off, fluid came pouring out of the overflow. Now, im confused. I have see people say the engine MUDST be running to properly check ATF, but some show the engine not running. I even reached out on the GEN 1 Facebook form and conflicting...................
hey man page 2315 of the FSM states to check fluid levels while engine is idling. Make sure your truck is level and your a/c should be off. Page 2314-2316 have the entire step by step directions- i would follow that over random dudes on the fb page. The knowledge gap on there is large. Idk how your truck was running before you did the job- but some people claim they were low on fluids from previous jobs/factory. If i were you i would recheck fluids- i wouldnt go to the top end temp- i prefer median- just allows more leeway for error checking too hot is the same as checking too cold. Get it in the middle of the range and do your check. Now you have a baseline for knowing the jobs done right- by you. And you can monitor your levels - you could have a leak you’re not aware of from other areas. Hope this helps man! Thanks for watching! Let me know how it goes! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
This is a question for the person that made this video, I noticed when you finally reached the temperature to drain the excess fluid to reach the correct amount, when you exited your truck you turned your engine off and removed your keys. Then proceeded to remove the excess fluid, but you mentioned that the vehicle needs to be at a idle when checking fluid level in a comment. Now you got me confused.
@mikemurray2298 hey man i turned it off then turned it back on after getting to the next step in the FSM- sorry for the confusion! When in doubt- follow the FSM 🫡
He also said not to touch the check valve until the end and you can see it went from dry to soiled less than halfway through the video… I had to watch it so many times to see it was the very end and he said camera died so narrated it. Ughh.
@@TimMoran-m3f if you only want to conduct a check, get it to the recommended factory temperature and use the check plug- with A/C off and engine idling. Or do the whole process in the video and conduct a drain and fill. Hope this helps!
Hey man. Theres parts where im talking and parts where im just pointing and identifying all the nuts that are relevant- then ill start talking again. Sorry for the confusion, hope it helps!
@@bigboynicky3372 wooof. Sorry to hear man. Im saying this under the impression your engine was cold and you didnt get measurement of how much came out.. I would get 4 qts- refill it. Then get the engine temp to check fluid range- and open the CHECK plug while idling to drain the excess. As long as you overfill it- then drain excess via check plug at temp- it’s really not a big issue. Its a 40ish dollar mistake in Toyota WS

What an awesome how-to video!!!
Thank you

You wouldn't happen to have the part numbers for the nrew seals, would ya? I can only find the drain seals.

Should engine be shut off before removing level check bolt?
FSM states to check it with engine idling
