I bought a used Tacoma, allegedly certified by Toyota, and the rear right wheel bangs and slips when taking off from a stop, both straight and turning until it warms up in cold weather, and does not seem to have any traction on wet surfaces when raining...what is the problem with my differential? Please help.

An internal inpection will be required, there is no way to tell from cyberspace.

No doubt, but do you agree that it's the diff and not an axle issue?
