I hit 100K this past weekend!

I went on a 1500 mile road trip & made it to the 100K mark this past weekend, truck runs like a champ & had zero issues. I know she has ALOT of life left in her!

 

Good to hear bud, keep up with the maintenance.

 

That's what I say about my wife

 

wow.. maniac driving 14k miles per year! lol! fun 1500 mile trip?

 

Ha, I was in Korea for a year so it didn't get many miles in 2011. It was a great trip, drove from Delaware to KY & back & did some camping while there.

 

haha. hilarious!

 

Remember to change your rear diff fluid, coolant, and watch out for your ignition coils. If your ignition coils ever go out immediately replace them or you'll get a blown head gasket.

 

Thanks for the tip! I have changed my rear diff fluid twice with the last being at about 97K with Amsoil synthetic. I do need to change the coolant probably but I have checked it several times & recently it was still good. I bought the truck at 62K & have done nothing but regular maintenance.

 

Good tip but won't it have to be immediate since the truck won't run?

 

I hit 100K in my 06 xrunner Just before I traded it in for my 13' TRD 2 and a half weeks ago =)

 

It runs alright, I left it a week without changing it. Guess what BLOWN head gasket If the engine is running you will notice it because it be like CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK. Coolant leaks, and then cats go bad. = $$$$$$
Catylic converter worst enemy is coolant!

 

I just sold my 2002 Taco, about 3 months ago and it was still (just barely) under 100k. Guess I need more road trips! I always miss these shots though, when it turns over at a milestone like that. I'm trying to see how far I can make it with my new Taco, without missing a 1000 mile turnover. So far I've made the first three! I'll be lucky to make it to 10k without missing one, but it would be pretty cool to have 100 of these someday.

 

I just did the same! Except mine is in kilometers.

 

Congrats! I made sure that I got the pic when it turned over to 100K, was on the road & paid special attn to the odometer, lol. I love this truck & it has been super dependable from day 1 so I think I just might keep her & see how far she will take me!

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think water pump and thermostat is at 150K.

I kind of let this die out as I have only put 2k since the writeup but gives some good pointers

 

The truck will last 300k easily.

 

Excellent tip. Thank you.

 

any way to check the coils to tell if there bad. i just hit 90xxx miles. I haven't had the tsb on the manifolds yet so it kinda sounds noisy. i noticed some coolant coming from the bottom of the crank i changed out the crank case seal and water pump not that long ago.... just curious as to whats going on
