I usually post in the 80 series tech forum but was thinking about purchasing a 95.5-present 4cyl. 2wd truck for good gas mileage(way better than my 80). You guys probably only want to talk about 4wd but I figured you could tell me some possible things to look for on my purchase. Example: The landcruiser engine, the 1fzfe, has a known fault which is the headgasket. I haven't had to replace mine yet(knock on wood) but it happens often enough to people in 80's tech. Also the front birflelds should be checked for leaks. I just want a good truck to take long distant trips in and drive to school. Basically I want to know what I should look for and look out for?
