I'm at 93,000 miles but it really doesn't make a bit of a difference from what I can tell in terms of how much work is needed.
COMPLETED ---
Distributor leaking, valve cover leaking - resolved.
- Change o-ring, cap, distributor cap gasket, rotor, wires, plugs [wrong plugs currently installed], spark plug seals, valve cover gasket, FIPG for inserts
- Clean throttle body, replace gasket
- Check timing
- Replace PCV valve
- Replace all vacuum hoses
- Compression test all good
- Change air filter
Power Steering Leaks
- Replaced fluid with Dexron III
- Cap is leaking
- Pump is leaking - replaced
- Replaced hoses
- Fill and bleed system
Cooling System goes to ~220F - fixed.
Now: In 100F high humidity, never gets above 195. Stays in the 180s normally.
- Flush and thermocure completed. Filled with Toyota Red.
- Replaced radiator, thermostat, hoses, long heater pipe (end is corroded badly), fan clutch, cracked fan & shroud, water pump, rad cap
- Changed oil pump gasket
- Replaced belts and idler pulley x2
- Replaced heater hoses
- Replaced heater control valve
- Replaced transmission cooler hoses
- Replaced knock sensor #2
- Replaced alternator
Resolve Interior / Dash Electrical Issues
- Tested all instrument cluster / meter bulbs --- replaced missing bulbs, which were all lit: MIL, ABS, SRS, Door Ajar
- ABS light stays on. Cause was missing CDL bulb.
- Remove PO accessory wiring
- Door ajar light stays on. Removed TVSS alarm and resolved.
- Possible 12V shock via interior light dimmer switch or mirror switches - resolved after all of this work.
- All door lock switches stopped working after a few weeks. Motor was making quiet grinding noise. Windows work fine. BJ1 damaged.
- BJ1 connector was wrapped in bag - full of water, wires broken. Replaced and all windows/lock issue resolved.
- Replace broken driver's AC vent when replacing bad bulbs - Done - Impex had the best price. Needed the black shroud as well.
- Removed and cleaned front half carpet
Codes
- p0130, p0133, p0135, p0141, p0330 - presumably resolved
- Resolve knock sensor code - replaced
- Replaced O2 sensors
- Reset SRS light - codes 54, 31, 12, 11 Resolved: had to replace SRS ECU
8 MPG Problem -
Crack in crotch of of y-pipe, exhaust leaks between cats and y to manifold connections: welded; new gaskets and hardware.
Other
- Blackstone oil analysis - came back good.
- Replaced China bomb tires - Installed BFG KO2 285/75R16s with spare and Lutz speedometer device
- Replaced battery
TODO --
- Fuel gauge working? No, not accurate - Was near 1/8th tank with ~10 gallons still in the tank.
- Need to check sunroof drains
ATS Pan Leak?
- Clean; figure out if pan is leaking or something nearby
- Change fluid
Brakes
- change fluid
- inspect/replace hoses
- overall inspection - R&R as needed
Fuel
- inspect hoses; replace as needed
- Change small fuel filter
- Check fuel pressure
Verify fuel economy after fixing exhaust leak that was causing excessive fuel trim
Transfer Case, Differentials fluid change
- Replace front row seat covers and cushions
Other
- AC high pressure hose heat wrap needs replacing.
- AC has slow leak. Refilled and slow leak around compressor. Need to replace/refresh system.
