Re: DIY: Differential Oil Drain & Fill
Thanks for the 6 gasket part #'s. They came in handy when the retarded parts counter guy at Haley Toyota not only told me that the fill plug on the front diff. didn't have a gasket, but he also didn't know what the transfer case was and couldn't tell from the exploded diagram that there was one. Even his buddy working behind him said the same thing, so I ended up leaving that day with just 3 gaskets; 1 for the front drain and 2 for the rear. Sometimes you just can't argue with stupid. I came back the next day armed with the part #'s and no explanation what they were for. I figured as little as I had to make him think, the better.
Just an FYI on the dealer, if you're in the Richmond area, avoid Haley Toyota like the plague. I don't let them touch my vehicles, but I will use their parts counter since it's near my house. Now I'm not sure that's even a good idea.
