Here, see if this sounds like what you hear. Use good headphones to hear it. I am in 6th, then 5th, then 4th. You can tell it completely goes away in 4th, and is there in both 5/6. The noise coming and going while staying in one gear is me letting off the throttle and reapplying...

Probably the same/similar noise that the RC62F gets when it's spinning quickly. Mine seems a bit higher pitch in the 3rd gen but different gear tooth counts, tire size, and diff gears, so that could make sense. Mine for sure does it in both 5th and 6th. It is the worst in 6th for sure. 100%...

Is it only in 5th and 6th? For sure goes away in 4th? The guy says diff howl on the video but he may not be interpreting that right either. If it changes based on what gear you're in then it's definitely trans related.

I don’t recommend the super expensive ones, I recommend the cheaper 50 and 70-led bulbs, which aren’t quite so bad. Just to be clear, the Lasfits doing what they do at 5+ minutes is not a warranty issue. It is simply them getting too hot from their resistor and they have a safety built in to...

If the noise is what I think it is, it's way different than diff howl.

Does it sound like a tea kettle? The 4th gen is using the RC60F, which is from the Aisin RC family, similar to the RC62F in the 3rd gen. In stock form, the 3rd gen doesn't make any noise until around 90-95mph or so. I regeared my truck and immediately noticed the noise at 70, because I'm not...

I have in the past, those and other DD bulbs. I wouldn't buy any of them. DDs have a bad habit of falling out of sockets, the bright modes not being very bright, the low modes being too bright, and radio interference when installed. VLEDS is the only brand of LED bulbs I've used that I've ever...

Sorry, but Lasfit products are junk. Been there, done that. Especially with the built-in resistors. They don't work as a hazard flasher because when they get 5-7 minutes in, they get too hot and start manually shutting themselves off (while the truck is still blinking them) which makes for a...

I have heard that most 4th gens will have 1-piece rear driveshafts. so far, everything on YouTube that ends up under a truck has shown a shiny aluminum 1-piece driveshaft. I don't recall where I read it, but I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere that "some models" have 2-piece driveshafts with the...

Weird, most of the places selling that spare wheel are calling it 18x7.5. Still haven't found the offset yet. But I think an additional 5mm would probably fit fine, but you'd need to see how close you are to the control arm and such to confirm that.

The offset on Tacoma 18x7.5 is +55mm. I don't know what the Tundra spare is but I imagine it's close to that. The Tundra normal wheels I am seeing as +60mm on the forum and ebay listings. Spare is probably +55 or +60. Definitely nothing in either generation is anywhere close to 0mm offset, that...

The 3rd gen Tundra uses an 18x7 spare which would work perfectly to replace your 17x7 spare. Width doesn't matter too much, the 1/2" won't make a difference and at least with it being an 18" you could put another full size 265/70R18 on it. The Tundra shares the same smaller hub bore and same...

Man, that looks really sharp. I think I like the 265/70R18 on the Sport better than the 285/70R17 on the ORs I've seen floating around. But I do like both.

I’ll add this for anyone interested. Credit goes to Jeff Lange on TacomaWorld. Dude is a former Toyota parts wizard that has helped figure out the details on all these transmissions and many other various aspects of Toyota vehicles. RC60F - Hilux 2.4L diesel (and now 2024 Tacoma 2.4L Turbo...

Yeah, 3rd gen is the same problem, although it’s a bit different. 1st and 2nd are significantly taller than 4th gen, although the two transmissions share the same 1st and 2nd gears. The output gears of the two different transmissions are different which is what causes the final drive of 1st and...

Like said earlier, 2nd gear is half of first. You need to wind 1st out for a smooth shift. But when you do that, rev hang makes it to where you have to wait for the revs to fall. You need the revs to fall by half. Either way, it is a slow shift. If you take 1st to 4000, you need to wait for the...

Haven't driven either, so can't speak to a direct comparison. I certainly want to though. One thing is for certain, there have been many vehicles where the masses say "this one you should just get the auto, the auto is so good." Jeep is a good example of that. And I'll give them credit, Jeep...

Toyota is weird on the manuals. They really like the engagement point to be super high off the floor. I don't know why, and, from everything I can determine on the 3rd gen, it is unnecessary to have it so high. The 3rd gen has the old funky plastic pedal. I swapped it to a metal pedal from the...

Unfortunately I don't really recall. I stopped listening not long after and I also did the accumulator delete, which the accumulator does not apply to you, but there is a small thin heat shield covering the accumulator on the 3rd gen, and I lined that with noise insulation, so that helped me to...

Your issues sound pretty normal. 1st to 2nd is pretty far apart; 2nd is half the gearing of 1st which is not typical for manuals, usually they are closer. The shift itself is not very smooth unless 1st gear is revved out to 3.5-4K or so, but then you're waiting on revs to fall to half of that...
