Just got my 05 LC back from the 180,000 mile service. Turns out mine had never had the 90,000 mile service! The mechanic said that the water pump and thermostat were original, which meant that the belt was likely original as well. He also said that it looked like the Denso plugs had never been changed. I guess it's a testament to how well these trucks are made that one can go this many miles without what I considered to be critical maintenance.
Hopefully no harm done, but I wish I had paid more attention to the service records when I bought it last year. I was so impressed by the shape of the interior/exterior and the records did show a lot of regular oil changes, etc. I wanted to believe that the records were incomplete as I was told that some independent repair shops aren't (or weren't) connected to the network that tracks repairs for Carfax and other reports. "Buyer beware," as they say. Had I found this forum before my search, I'd like to think I would have been more savvy. Still don't regret the purchase, though. It's a great truck.
