Tohatsu recommends checking gear oil level, can't find it in the manual, is there a way to check it?
@haulinvols
@haulinvols 4 ай бұрын
With the two screws in (drain and vent screws) there really isn’t a way to quickly check the level other than pulling out the vent screw and seeing if a little fluid spills out and quickly reinsert the screw. I change my fluid every season, it’s cheap insurance to make sure I don’t have any condensation or any other issues that will show in the fluid.

You may want to try searching the part number in a Google search. When I did that, it showed up at a few online Toyota dealer sites as in stock. It’s concerning if this part has been discontinued since it is a known failure point. I may put some tape around the wire in mine now to protect it for the long term so it doesn’t come apart again.

Thank You!!! We bought ours from an estate sale, original owner. Love the truck, but the OD issue was stressful, was stuck and was wasting fuel. Couldn't get the part, husband is an electrician/McGyver :) He added about 2 inches of wire, shrink wrapped it and now it works perfectly!

I have an 06 with the 5 speed, double cab. The heaviest I tow often, is 4500 lbs tandem axle 19 ft Fleetwood TT. I will tell you it is infinitely better than the 4 speed. In your video I can hear your tranny hunting for the right gear which tends to generate heat. Hopefully you're in OD off. A wdh with sumo springs is awesome. I have a husky centerline. I had a chain style and moving to bars made a 100% improvement even in cross winds. I run the mid weight sumos (black) with an add a leaf in my rear suspension. I have 5100 Bilstein coilovers in the front. The 06 is 282 HP and 315 torque and I would say it's absolutely noticeable against a new Taco (my BIL has one). If I put the 4500 TT on his hitch, it would bog it to hell. 1421 is my payload cap, and factory specs say 6500 lb max tow for mine (I would never max mine). I think it's a fantastic tow rig for small TTs and I wouldn't go above 4500 lb. Last thing I would suggest is a derale fan enabled tranny cooler (I run torque pro at around 159°-200° while towing) and the cooler is great. I'm in the west also and have run up and down 70, swell area (UT), and all up and down the Wasatch range in UT. Good video and sound advice. 👍

Thanks my friend. Yeah, I tow with OD off. I know during that video I was going though an area with a bunch of up and down little hills which is probably one the reasons you hear the tranny going up and down the gears. That said, it still has a tendency to hunt at times. I really want to try a set of the sumo springs or similar and would like to get a set sometime this spring. Overall, for the towing I do, I love this truck and will have it a long time. At some point we will outgrow it as a family of 5 but until then, it will do the trick.

It all really depends on where you are coming from and if you are starting it from the west or east. I started from the east near the GA/SC border. I was coming from the north and topped my tank off in Cashiers North Carolina (bout 15 miles away from the start). Highlands North Carolina isn't that far either coming from the north and there were a few hotels around that area. Living in Knoxville, I just left super early in the morning and drove down to start my trip.

Once I hit gravel for the first time, I did lower my pressure down to the lower to mid 20s just to help with the ride and allow the tires to conform to the rocks and ruts on the rougher portions of the road. I aired down a little more when I hit Charlie’s Creek. I put a few more pounds back in the tires after that section. I did add a bit more when I hit a stretch where I was on pavement for a while. Even then I didn’t air all the way back up to normal pressures until I headed home on the highway.
