Are you saying to replace your radiator, water pump, lines, etc as PM at 100k?

If so, please post rationale.

Most radiators as well cooling components are only good for 100k miles. The problem is not knowing the engine is overheating at the time and ruining the block.

Well... For one, you don't see this on the 100. And secondly, Toyota redesigned the defective part. So this isn't a 'normal wear' type of issue.

Though I completely agree with the risk of an undetected overheat event by a non-astute operator.

by a non-astute operator.

is there such a thing in the 200 world?

i know there is in the highlander and corolla world

————-
my 100 has 249k this morning, oem radiator and oem head gasket still

To be fair, there's someone on this very forum who was on the OJ podcast and and I don't recall the radiator failure being mentioned there either.

Not mentioning it is one thing, but to couch your expertise on being a Toyota master mechanic for so long and claim to have never seen one fail?

This thread left rational 15 pages ago…. We’re doing head gaskets at 100k now, catch up already. Another 10 pages and motor swaps will be thrown into the mix.

WOW you are a risk taker.

10K miles for me, or every other oil change.

From memory, it's toward the end of the podcast and the discussion was pretty explict and to the effect of 'there are no major issues [with the 200] that you have to do on all of the trucks'. I remember it surprising me when I heard it.

Not trying to defend CCN or disparage a podcast guest at all, just point out that it wasn't on the radar of two different experts. But they see a subset of vehicles. In the case of CCN it may be that he only sees the bigger jobs. And maybe the podcaster only sees enthusiast vehicles where the user takes care of simple fixes like a radiator swap as a DIY.

I don't do 5k oil changes.

I do 5k engine changes.

Fresh 3UR every 5k. Under my ownership, my LX is on its 9th engine. I save a bit of cash swapping starter and alternator only every other engine change. But that alone makes me nervous. You can never really be too safe.

If you're just changing the oil, do you really even own a Land Cruiser?

Yeah that would definitely be worse. I mean, technically late 2018+ is out of the woods on this but who only works on - and reads here about - those?
