possibly a ghost :(
Ok it started with my 2019 Tacoma TRD …rear brakes locking up while driving…had it tow to the Toyota dealer…. They work on the rear brakes …test drive and something was still wrong…
Turns out they found water in the rear diff…cause they said to me , it was because I had my truck lifted and did NOT RAISE the rear diff breather hose..? Um?
They say that is how water got in?
They are draining the rear end , won’t know till tomorrow….but mention I may need a completely new rear end!
Question to all of you with a lifted truck…is it necessary to extend the front & rear diffs vent valves? What happens to trucks that goes thru rivers , or reverse down launch boats? Or drive thru mud, or muddy puddles?
Any way, I am expecting the worst…( I will need a new rear diff). & be out a few thousand dollars… parts plus labor cost…
It all started with my rear brakes locking up…. I live on a coffee farm..rains a lot…I do drive in water/ muddy puddles…
The shop tech will let me know tomorrow….
Please should we ALL extend our diff breather valves? Is it necessary for any lifted trucks?
Aloha,
