Later all ... thanks for all the excellent help.

Take er' easy bud. Out of curiosity, whatcha buy?

Nice Looking trucks, I honestly wouldn't mind having one, but if had the choice I'd still drive a chevy.. Just seems like ford chevy or even dodge is easier to work on and the parts are cheaper.. now i say that, i have no idea tundra parts cost.. but then again maybe they don't break that often. heh. No slamming your truck, I like them.. But I love my chevy.

The main thing that scared me away from a Tundra was the timing belt vs. timing chain. With my '78 Chevy 350-4, I changed one timing chain in

Do not forget to let us know all the EXPENSIVE problems you have with the toyota. and remember, if you buy imports, you are part of the problem . john

Good honest people down in Princeton

I hope your starter never goes..... Toyota put the damn thing UNDER the intake manifold in the valley of all places..... I loved my '87 Toyota MR2.... it didn't require repair very often, but when it did.... holy f*ck were the parts expensive.

It's probably not as difficult as you might think. I've done a number of starters on Cadillac Northstar engines (starter is under the intake) and it's quite a simple job. Takes about 10 minutes to be looking at the starter. Two bolts and the wire connections and out she comes. At least Cadillac had the forethought to design the intake so that it can be lifted up out of the way very quickly.

well if they're still packaging stuff like they did on my 4AGE... you'll need 5 knuckled fingers and double elbowed arms to work on it. but hey, maybe they never fail... dunno.
