The 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma is amazingly reliable IF you keep up with maintenance. The 30K mile service can be shockingly expensive at a dealership... but I show you how to do the complete service yourself at home with basic tools! This video covers: - FRONT AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID CHANGE - TRANSFER CASE FLUID CHANGE - PROPELLER SHAFT TORQUE - OIL CHANGE - THROTTLE BODY AND MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR CLEANING - INSPECTION AND MORE! *** NOTE ON CABIN AIR FILTERS: If your cabin filter just has an arrow on it, then it faces up (like I said in the video). If it has an arrow and "air flow" is written next to it, then it faces down. Thanks to @T4R-05 for pointing this out!
