How many miles is on your 2.7?

That's 3,652 per year. I just retired and do more then that going down the street to the grocery store. Do you have Door Dash deliver your groceries ? BTW jealous - Cali keeps it it way better shape then Jersey for sure.

 

I bought the truck from my friends Dad back in 2015 . At that time the Tacoma Pre Runner had 52k miles on it . So in the 10 years I've owned it , I've only added 30k miles , that's 2k miles a year !!!

 

Real nice

 

How ? Incredible - 2K a year .

 

Trunk Monkey alarm system keeps it safe I bet

 

He's got me beat. I'm at 3.5k a year. That does include 4 roundtrip cross-country treks (GA to CO) and a few jaunts to NC & FL from GA.
29,080 miles now, bought it with 4 on the odo 21Jan17.

 

262000 miles on my 2001 Tacoma Pre-Runner SR5. Still original clutch in it too.

 

Very impressive. Any repairs ? How often do you change your various fluids - oil, trans, diff, antifreeze etc ? Thanks for any reply/information.

 

2019 Taco 2.7 AT, 4x4. Bot it used in March with 166k on it. It's now at 172k. I plan to push it to 300-350k.

My last rig was a '99 Ranger that lasted 500k B4 I blew a piston rod.

 

Oil change every 3000 miles
Coolant every 30000 miles
Transmission every 3000 miles
It has a new rear axle. Haven't had to change the oil yet. I had all the brake lines replaced, frame rot has been fixed, and transfer case has been replaced.

 

Thanks for the reply. OCI at 3k - Synthetic ? Manual Trans ? Just curious - I've doing Synthetic at 5K and manual trans at 30K, Diff at 30K. I believe OCI at 3K is for conventional oil - is that what you're using. Since your schedule is different they mine just wanted to know your thoughts/logic. Thanks again.

 

I only use conventional on everything. I'm not a fan of synthetic oil. I put a bottle of Lucas in the oil too to help with the rings. The transmission I get changed the same time as the oil. I have been doing that since I bought it in 2001. I usually get the rear diff changed around the same time too. Since I have a new rear axle I'm going to have it done on the same rotation as everything else.

 

Thanks for your answer. Glad it works for you. Have you had to replace the water bypass tube yet - my brother-in-law has about the same mileage and had to do his. I see you live in Mass - how many frames have you had replace ? I live in NJ - lots of salt in the winter - I'm sure Mass has the same or more.

 

The only thing that has been replaced around the motor is the alternator. It gave out after 20 years. I'm on my second frame, but the second frame had alot of rot which I had repaired.

 

I've started going to a car wash this past winter that also cleans the under carriage - It has a monthly plan -$25 and I can take it as many times as I want. I also power wash the frame in the summer - now - and coat the frame with linseed oil. If you're handy and like to DIY I can give you details.

 

My brother - in - law's alternator went at about 250K.

 

243k on my 2012 when I traded it a month or two ago. original clutch too

 

What made you trade it in - frame must be in good shape - not much salt on the road in Tuscaloosa, AL - not like NJ - Thanks Curious George
