    Is there any reason the plugs on the ball joints should not be replaced with zerk fittings?

    Don’t see why not! Make sure you use 90 degrees one and angle them for access with the gun even with the wheel on. I haven’t done that on my on mine but it’s on my list.

    Just want to clarify one thing, because of a pretty valid question on Gear oil type for the trans. We have a g series trans in our vans (g 53). It does contain bras synchros, at least those not rebuilt will. GL5 is fine. The amount of sulfur (read trace amounts) won't harm your manual trans. The FSM says it's all good too.

    I'm going to be changing the oil on my rear differential - '86 RWD, Manual - Can anyone recommend a specific brand and number of gear oil that I can buy at one of the big auto parts stores in town? I see a lot of different info around on what diff oil to use.

    Thanks

    Re: Toyota Van Lubricant and Fluid Specifications

    Good day folks, apologies for the necro I guess but this seems suitable, so from my understanding either DEX III/DEX IV is suitable as it superseded it. Seems my van lost some ATF from sitting thanks to a leak on the transmission pan. Fluid is dark like motor oil so its probably well-due for a change I guess, although not sure when the last one was done and I really don't want to kill my transmission...
