'00 PreRunner ExCab, 53k on a 3RZ/2.7 4cyl with auto transmission.
Bought the vehicle in '01 certified off a dealer lot when it had 32k miles from the original owner.
I only put 7-8k miles a year on it, mostly city driving w/plenty of idling (unfortunately). Great truck, never had a wrench on it. Tire/battery replacement is all it's needed beyond fluid and filter changes.
I've handled reg. oil/filter changes, but now I want to have the cooling system and tranny power flushed and replaced with OEM fluids. This is something I don't trust to a local shop and would rather have done by the dealer.
I also think I'll have them check to see if it needs a tune - and I have half a mind to get them to check the fuel injectors along with a general inspection of belts/hoses.
1) Opinions on anything I've missed.2) Am I going to get the royal grease (let's assume this dealer to be honest from what I know) on a ticket for this job.
3) If it needs plugs, should I ask for OEM's ( NGK?)4) Will the dealer use OEM coolant and tranny fluids? (yeah, I plan to ask, but.....)
What I'm trying to avoid is either a major cooling system or tranny failure around the century mark. I plan on keeping this truck until .
Welcome opinions on how to get all of this done right w/o spending a fortune. And no, I'm not talented with a wrench sadly.
Thanks,
Stew
