    Hi Buddies,

    My son just bought his first truck/Tacoma and we say Hi.
    2000 TACOMA XTRACAB PRERUNNER CLUB CAB PICKUP 3.4L V6. It's in immaculate shape, nearly show room new for a 16 year old truck with 115000 miles.

    We're looking for pointers. It's a bit slow to start which may be an older battery. Any tips we should address, not having much maintenance history? Anyone have downloadable service documents?

    Slow cranking sounds like a week battery I'd have it load tested

    With no maintenance history I would start buy replacing all fluids. Thats suprr low miles. It would not affect starting but has the timing belt been replaced? Those engines last a long time with just a little bit of love.
