    You would have to remove the timing belt cover to see if it's leaking. You'll see dried up pink residue (or whatever color you coolant is if you changed it).

    With over 186K mi I bet it has started to leak. I'm at 126K & I'm sure mine has started also.

    wow!! good to know that these trucks are running strong after 100K plus miles. I've only got 1k on my 2011 but would like to see it go past 100K. i've never had a car go past 100K. i'm always trading it in but this one is a keeper.. :)

    89,350 on my 2003. This thread makes me proud to have sacrificed so much to purchase this truck almost 6 years ago. It's nice to know that I have a truck thats paid for, and still has so much life left in it.

    81,000 & 7+ years on 03 PreRunner 3.4L V-6 w/ TRD supercharger. No complaints, and sounds like it'll go a lot longer so good to hear about some of the heavier driven ones.
    -Had to replace both O2 sensors after just having a Magnaflow put in to eliminate check engine codes. Anybody else have those flake out around that time or was it the new muff?

    Either way it was worth it; new muff renewed the enjoyment to drive it a lot longer.
