Thanks for the information.

That sounds good. How do I know which product fits my differential?

I have a 2014 f150 5.0 2wd with 3.31 e locker. I don’t believe I have a limited slip differential. The axle code is L3. I understand that I do not need the friction modifier additive. What gasket will work the best?

Yes. Thats the one. I chose it over the Michelin Defender t+h at the time as some test results favored the Continental Tire at the time.

I’ve used several sets of Continental Tru Contacts on my Siennas in your tire size. Have worked well. Little cheaper. Lasted around 42,000 miles or so but it was highway driving mostly. Tirerack tested them to see the results.

For sure. Not 4 times lol.

Maybe the dealer was one car away from a bonus goal and titled it to hit the sales goal.

While I use Michelin on one vehicle I own, I think that the cracking may have been an issue before the Green versions. I’ve also had a set of Goodyears that cracked way early like in a couple of years. I know people that have the Defender series tires garaged with little use, and seem to have...

I have used different versions of the Michelin Defender/MS/MS2 and had good experiences with them, but tried the Continental HT one time due to better stopping distance ratings. I took the Continentals back in short order due to higher levels of road noise and put the Michelin Defender LTX on...

From some reviews it appears that Michelin may not be the best in all performance areas, but I think overall they are a long wearing tire that maintains what performance is there a long time versus other tires that are better in some areas, but wear down quicker leading to longer stopping...

My 2014 5.0 lost the water pump around 6 yrs and I think 65-70 thousand miles. Tensioner also went bad a week before

the Noco is on sale. Not sure which ones are better. The Noco I had lasted maybe 8 yrs before I can’t change the mode very easy. I have a higher amp Noco that has done well for several years. Noco 5 is around $55.

This is a FWD for a Toyota Sienna.

Update. The New Replacement battery is starting to corrosion again on the post and a little out of where the caps would be. This is around 8 months and 7 thousand miles worth of use.

Any opinions on a 2020 Toyota 8 speed Transmission lifespan? Wondered how these are holding up. The transmission I have Is used in the Sienna/Highlander/4Runner etc. What fluid change interval should I follow? Plan on using OEM fluid as I’m under warrant. I’m not planning on doing the 150,000...
