How many miles are on your 3.4?

See you at 500K.

 

I don't keep track of gas milage that closely. I haven't seen a noticable change in milage though. Still have to fill up the same amount of times during the week driving to work as I did 14 years ago when I bought the truck.

It did seem to make a bit of an increase in milage when I replaced the timing belt/water pump/etc at about 255k. It definitely runs smoother than it did prior to doing them.

 

Right on brother... You're right there with me

 

Now there's some Professional numbers!

 

There we go!

 

Change the oil, and don't do anything stupid and the 3.4 will EASILY get you to 300k.

 

178K and counting ... this truck surprises me on how smooth it runs with that mileage

 

I agree.I got a one owner grandpa truck with a canopy.And everything is clean in and under.Im wondering is it ever gonna run different? It doesn't age haha

 

Yes sir I take care of her! Gotta respect the first gen.Love that bodystyle and compact size

 

I'll let ya know!

 

This is the only vehicle I have ever owned that went +200k. I have absolutely zero plans to replace it. And I trust it more than any other vehicle I've owned even with half the miles. I would (and do regularly) load this truck up with gear and drive it anywhere you want to go.

 

Nice truck! Yeah they just don't maker them like they use to.Thats why I signed up here to talk and learn about them cause theyre so practical and reliable!

 

I'm the 2nd owner but I have all the maintenance records since new thanks to the Toyota website

 

You'd think mine had less miles on it the way it runs and drives. Original motor as far as I can tell. I am going to need to do valve cover gaskets on it sometime soon, the valve covers are slightly wet around the edges. Not dripping oil on the exhaust tho so they will go a little longer until I'm ready to tear into it.

I've done 2 860+ mile round trips and one 600+ mile round trip in the 2 months that I've owned the truck and have put almost 3500 miles total on since buying it. Engine runs great and I'm getting a consistent 16mpg average between city and freeway driving. Doesn't burn any oil either.

 

I did the exact same thing and have the paper work since new as well.Definitely makes you more comfortable knowing it wasn't molested

 

I'll be doing valve covers (and everything that comes with it) next weekend.


Mine is starting to leak oil like a sieve. Lol

 

Yeah, mine isn't that bad yet.

 

One extra you might consider is also replacing the rubber gasket in the oil fill cap. Mine was leaking oil because the rubber was worn and hardened. Replaced it for about $1.50.

 

Had no idea you could get that separately. What's the part number?

 

We are totally thinking along the same wave length... Cause I just ordered this. Found it on eBay for $13.50.
