Toyota Tacoma Differential Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: How to remove and install the Automatic disconnect Differential (ADD) and its actuator on 2005 through 2009 Toyota Tacoma?
A: The ADD connects and disconnects the power flow through the dipstick, namely the right front axleshaft when the 4WD mode is engage and disconnects them when the 2WD mode is engaged. In case the transition to or from 4WD causes problems, it is recommended that the ADD system be taken for assessment to a competent mechanic familiar with 4WD cars. To demodulate the differential carrier, loosen the wheel lug nuts, lift the vehicle and secure on jack stands and then, remove the wheels. Next, two splash shields should be dismantled along with the differential lubricant; finally, please remove two more splash shields and drain lubricant from the differential. Continue to the removal of the driveaxles, to separate the driveshaft from the front differential, Suspension of front part of the driveshaft with a piece of wire. Loosen the front stabilizer bar and brackets, then the ABS wheel speed sensors will also have to be detached. Remove the breather tube bracket, remove the nuts/screws holding the vacuum tubing bracket to the differential, disconnect the electrical connector of the actuator and pull off the vacuum lines from it. If you are changing the differential, place help under it using a transmission jack or a floor jack and then remove the differential rear mounting nut and the two front mounting bolts/nuts to lift up the differential. The process of installation is the exact opposite of the removal procedure, and again, be sure to refill the differential with the recommended lubricant and ensure the lugnuts and suspension fasteners are tightened to the manufacturer's torque spec. For the ADD actuator, take the car off the ground using jackstand, then reinstall the splash shield and push in the four bolts until the actuator can be pulled/off. ALl these and other surfaces in contact with the differential and actuator must be clean and as a final step to the installation processes, a 'thin bead of new RTV sealant should be applied on the mating surfaces of the two before tightening the bolts in an opposite sequence to the one applied while unbolting the old actuator from the differential.
