I bought a 200, but I'm used to driving Tractors.

It keeps going and it really likes the 15w50. Time will tell. It’s already 86* today here and it will only get hotter.
Really enjoyed reading this thread. Please keep us posted.

The 200 just pulled my friends 40 to sas and back. 2600 miles with zero issues.
Contemplating a 1” bilstein lift all around since my rear shocks are getting weak.

Btw. About to cross 342,000 miles. I love this truck.
60-361,000 miles
62-293,000 miles
Urj200-342,000 miles
I see a problem, I love high mileage trucks.

Leaving the stock springs and leveling the front. Maybe a 10mm rear spacer to bring it up.
Trying to be more like @ryanCA
And maybe some tundra wheels to look more Toyotas of war. I may do some AT’s.

350,000 miles.
Swapped the rear original Tokico shocks for bilsteins, added rotors to the front by AC delco (they look like reboxed DBA to me) and another 15w50 oil change.
The rear upper shock mount but is a huge pain. Glad to be done with that.
Rear feels much better!
I’ll do the front in a month and level the truck.

That undercarriage at 350k miles looks considerably clean. Congrats on the find.
I’m currently running 5w30 in my 300,000k 200.. and 10w30 in my 200k Sequioa.
Maybe I need to step it up a notch.

The internet told me it would explode with the 15w50 m1.
It hasn’t. But it’s hot here. And I believe that thin oils and 10k OCI is only in place to sell new trucks.

Shocks were a little rough and had holes in them. Just the thin dust boots.
The KDSS screws fought me a bit and broke two Allen bits but now that they’ve been loosened they are fine. Scary for sure.
This was a TN and AL truck. No rust in Texas thankfully.

Finally had a problem with the truck.
Flashing CEL and limp mode 600 miles from home.
Looks like it may be the secondary air. I got limited to 60 mph, and pulled over after 20 miles and found a rest stop with a guy who looked like he would have a wrench to lend.
Pulled the battery and cleared it out. Didn’t come back right away.
Drove into the next town and got the OBD scanner. The truck runs great but this is lingering. 1000 miles since with no return.
Looks like it’s time to get a Hewitt kit.
Thoughts?

The teepees down by Big Bend Ranch State Park, such a fantastic drive.

2000 miles later no cel again. Self healing.
Stopped in big bear to see Tucker. Also rolled 360,000 miles on the truck. 93,000 miles since August 2023.
Life is good.
I’m still into old trucks. This is proof.

I'm following your lead with the high-mileage maintenance. I love it when these things self-heal. Hopefully, mine learned that trick too.

I’ll be doing the valley pan reseal, intake gaskets and a pcv soon.
The truck is still amazing. I’d rather have 3 of these than a new 250.

Ain’t that the truth. These rigs still have soul.
