Hi all!
I have searched quite some threads on similar topics. Thanks for all the great information!
Hope to seek your advice from a slightly different angle . What are the top 3-5 *original* items to replace around 250k miles? These items would usually be marketed as lasting forever for Non-Toyota cars because most cars won't last beyond 250k miles. But as we plan to drive our Hundys for 1 million miles , will inevitably need to replace at some point.
I have been owning a very well maintained 2007 LC for months. The previous (original) owner kept all the regular items per maintenance schedule at Toyota dealer. It runs super smooth. Mechanic check went well. After purchase, I baselined the usual items per suggestions here including: Heater-T, timing belt + all related items, all hoses, all filters, new radiator, CV axles, all fluid flushed, AHC also fluid flushed and pressure checked, new tires+alignment, spark plugs.
With these updated, I started my trip very confidently . But unfortunately after a few thousand miles at 250k, got stranded because the original alternator went bad . So it came to mind that there are original items likely to fail between 200k-250k even for well maintained and baselined Hundys (which means all the items due at 100k are replaced twice), but won't be an issue for non-Toyotas that won't even last 250k miles. I do hope to get a few replaced, preventatively, so I can drive long road trips without concern. Besides alternator, other threads suggested brake booster, starter etc. But these can get pretty expensive. So hope to prioritize if that's possible.
Thanks!
