What do I need to know

[TJDIV]

about 1990 4Runner SR5 V6?

bought one yesterday for a DD. Already has a lift and 33's which is cool. 140Kmiles, but it runs good and the tranny (auto) was just redone.

Anything other than routine maint?

Thanks.

watch IFS CV boots, careful with lifts on the front. mate keeps chewing out CV's cause of the angle of the front

can't speak for the V6, but it all should be toyota qual

thought that would come up. So far so good though, and it looks like it's all been tinkered with very recently. (whether good or bad, we'll see, at least the bolts will come out!!)

Hell, compared to that old buick, this things crankin' out pretty good gas mileage!

Toyota did a recall on the head gasket. I'm sure it's been replaced, but you never know.

Actually, it was a SSC, called a Special Service Campaign, not a general recall. Meaning that if they failed, they would cover them. I doubt they're still gonna cover a 14 year old engine, but ya never know, they did the ones in my wife's '94 last summer with 160K on it. Doesn't hurt to ask, just call your local dealer with the VIN.

If it's not done already, install a set of AISIN manual hubs on the front wheels, your CVs will thank you.
