How many miles is on your 2.7?

296 on my 1999,,from day 1. New shocks and struts,,for the 4th time in total I think it is. Orig drivelines,, still tight,,had them spun on the balancer. They couldn't do anything with them,,didn't need it. Falken Wildpeak AT's,,since BFG pooched the new AT tread design, that shook me out of the cab at low tread. Falkens are grippy on road but still undecided in the muck. Oh yeah, orig rear brake shoes. Amazing. Prop valve is working and it has carried about 300lbs for the past 15yrs in the back.

 

OK ...With all of this high mileage, what were the major mechanical breakdowns?

 

Still waiting on that.

 

No major breakdowns in my 3.5 years of driving. Had about 88k when I purchased from Toyota dealer. Pretty sure they used it as parts runner for a couple months. They had installed new front pads & rotors, serpentine belt and catalytic converter.

In January dealer put new frame under it with new hard brake lines and LCA/ball joints. I need to replace the upper ball joints, as they getting little sloppy. Not a major breakdown, but certainly considered a major repair.

The AC compressor acts a little funny, clutch seems to slip a little. So that will need attention sometime.

Other than a set of plugs at 100k, regular oil changes, trans/rear end fluid, and tires, this Lil Taco been a darn reliable vehicle.

 

340k. 2016

 

160k 2013

 

Wow!

 

Any major repairs? Original clutch?

 

Original clutch. I had to replace the driver front wheel bearing twice and passenger once. New plugs at 120k. Other than that, oil changes every 5k with royal purple and toyota filters has kept it ticking right along.

 

Been working from home since the Vid hit prior to that 600 mile trips every few weeks back home working out of state. Only 9k miles, 2019. Have had oil changed, filters, and windshield wipers replaced already - major stuff! POS Tacoma.

 

2007
rings get gunked up. the P/O(second owner of truck.he bought it a few months after the original purchaser) of my truck was religious getting oil changed every 5k and had years worth of changes at jiffy lube. he ended up trading it in at 216k and it was burning oil.

im still running it at 287k. 120psi on every cylinder and burns a quart of oil every gas tank

 

Very impressive mileage! I have the same truck with the 5 speed manual. I guess when above 200k miles using oil can be expected.

 

Wow! That amount of mileage, especially in 6 years. What engine?

147,600 on my 2007 2.7L.
