Hello everyone, new guy posting here. Just bought a 2004 TB, very basic model except with 4x4. :wootwoot: 163k miles, dealer did oil change prior to me looking at the vehicle. I have no maintenance records.
I would like recommendations on changing the fluids. I would like to do a transmission flush, and change the fluids in transfer case and axles. Since I have no idea if this was done at all previously, would this be good preventive maintenance? 4x4 seems to work fine, no service lights and I have noticed "crow-hopping" when in 4HI and turning tightly. However, when I switch to 4LO and start to accelerate from stopped, there is a lurch from the vehicle (I think from 1st to 2nd gear). First time owning a 4WD, is this normal?
Began having problems when coasting/idle speeds starting yesterday (after driving about 1500 miles), RPM varying from 200-1200, eventually died just as I was pulling into a parking space. I have looked at other threads and plan to clean the throttle body when the weather here clears up. Any other suggestions?
Thanks! BC
