200,000 miles

I just purchase this 2006 Tacoma with a tad over 200,000 miles on it. I plan on making it a Megger - 1,000,000 miles. It runs and looks great. 2.7 L - 5 spd man - what should I look out for . It seems to have had synthetic oil in the engine. Should I drain everything and start from a known point ? Thanks

Welcome to TW!!

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome!

 

Yes....I would do everything....oil, coolant, power steering fluid, brake fluid, transmission and rear end

 

right on

 

Welcome!

 

I will change all the fluids like Plain JT said, I was wondering , should I flush out the transmission and rear end cases with something ?

 

Welcome to TW!!

 

200,000 miles and I bet still runs great

 

Welcome!

 

I’d say that depends on what comes out of them. If it’s really bad, I’d just throw in some not too expensive oils then change them out again with good stuff after about 500 miles.

 

Don’t forget to clean the magnet plug.

 

OK, I am introducing myself here. I am an old fart, 68, my first car was a '60 rambler flathead, I was always poor and will always be poor, but, I can think. I know electronics and wrenches and BS when I see or smell it or step in it , I am happy to be here ! ;-) ...

 

Welcome, you poor old fart.

 

Hope you brought some air freshener.

 

I can raise my arm and refresh the air where ya'll are '-) ...

 

Welcome to TW! Changing all of the fluids is a good thing to start with. Coat that frame with Fluid Film too.

 

OK guys, I have ordered a solid state blower motor controller to replace the infamous resistors - It may not be easy, but , I think I can do it - I will make some photos and let you know - If it has already been done, let me know, if not, I am going to do it my way anyhow ;-) ...
