CAR MAKING A LOW MOAN NOISE AS IT SLOWS DOWN BETWEEN 50-40MILES
diff noises are a harmonic whine on drive (Acceleration or drive speed )or a growl on overdrive ( slowing down or coasting)
if you have a drive shaft to the rear diff it is possible that the rear shaft has not been assembled correctly and the out of phase of the joints will give indications that you describe
Take it to a drive shaft specialist shop for a diagnosis

06 Tacoma Burning oil
You waited too long. Although I do find it surprising for a Quality Toyota, the switch should have been done BEFORE 25k. Unfortunately the tolerances have opened up too much and you are losing oil about 4 different ways. If you are getting better performance or lower operating temps w/heavy loads and don't mind adding oil stick with it. It is also close to time for a new timing belt. If you change it, have them look at the valves (how they are seating) and the valve guide seals. A compression test would help, and most FLAPS (Friendly or F'ng Local Auto Parts Store) usually will loan you the tester. Your results should be within 10-15% of factory specs, but I suspect you'll find 1 cylinder about 25%+ out of spec. This is a test you CAN do, and find specs online.
Good Luck
Reset service indicator
First put the key in the igniton but don't turn it, next hold the odometer stick and it should show your mileage, when you see this turn the key to on and five dashes should replace the mileage like this - - - - - and should decrease one by one. Hold it till it completes turn the car on and it should be reset.
1999 Toyota Tacoma 2.4L sputtering
Mixture too rich. Make sure none of the injectors are leaking (any o-rings). Disconnect the battery to try and clear the ecu- sometimes it stores data on how the engine is running to adjust the fuel/air mixture. It may need to "reset" and start from scratch.
