I appreciate all the insight. I PM'd him a day or so ago in regards to his T. Wouldn't mind checking it out. I am in Minnesota, but have flown numerous times to get vehicles. Most recently to pick up a '98 jetta TDI. Diesel baby. Don't get me started.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Never-the-less, if you have other gotchas or what not, let me have it. What are the recommended timing belt/water pump change intervals? Thanks again -keir <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> Re: Newbie related T100 questions #477890 07/20/04 06:20 PM Joined: Apr 2001 Posts: 3,466 houston, tx S surlynkid Roll Me Over timing belt in the 60-100K range. i do the water pump at teh same time since it is only $100 and too big a PITA to dig back into it again.

I put a bucket into my T-100, (left the right bucket inplace because it is comfy) and it was probably the best mod I have ever done, put over 20K miles on it and love it. You do want to try to find a dealer and try on the seats before you get them because there are some differences for each seat. Re: Newbie related T100 questions #477892 07/26/04 02:44 AM Anonymous Unregistered All, I came across a '97 SR5 located at a Ford stealership. The particulars are such: 5spd Topper 164k miles and... BUCKET $6499 any concerns among the populus in regards to the 164k miles. Would it scare you? I think I may jump on this one, however, wanted to clear it with the experts and see what ya'll had to say. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> I sincerely doubt I will be able to find out serive history(TB, water pump). So, those repairs will be in my close future. Again, thanks in advance. I appreciate your help! -keir Re: Newbie related T100 questions #477893 07/26/04 03:03 AM Anonymous Unregistered I just paid 4500 for a clean '95 SR5 4x4 auto, a/c, power everything, etc. It has 255K miles and runs strong on all original motor and tranny, no leaks, no issues. 165K is nothing. I sometimes think I paid too much, but seriously the only issue is the little numbers on the dash, otherwise the truck runs and looks like something that cost 10 grand. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Re: Newbie related T100 questions #477894 07/26/04 03:04 AM Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 899 Bucks County, PA uzombie Rock Warrior Check it out. Timing belt and water pump aren't big deal. Besides, our best source for parts is Gettel Toyota for the DIY. Check Clutch-pedal bracket (check for crack at firewall/pedal). Check the steering shaft boot for rot. (minor) Go take it out for a drive and offer them $6K. I have factory radio/cassette and Factory CD changer in a box if you need it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> Good luck! Keep us posted!

Not the case here? I hope to drive it tomorrow. I will let you know my findings!! Thanks to all. Keep that info coming. closed circuit to UZOMBIE, weren't you just telling me to try to find a 97-98!?! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Re: Newbie related T100 questions #477896 07/26/04 03:49 AM Joined: Apr 2001 Posts: 3,466 houston, tx S surlynkid Roll Me Over Quote I come from the honda and vw world where if you blow a timing belt, you break/bend valves.

Please let me know if your interested. Thanks. cymmgarcia@yahoo.com Re: Newbie related T100 questions [Re: cymmgarcia] #477898 07/27/04 04:40 AM Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 899 Bucks County, PA uzombie Rock Warrior IT won't do you any good. The top unit is the AM/FM Cass. The Bottom unit is the CD Changer (3 disc cart). It takes up both Slots as your 3-n-1 takes them up. And Keir- 97 is good. 98 is good. I just think of them as better than 95-96 because you can't put the TRD Supercharger on the 3.4L 95-96 motors. But they are all good motors. (TRD and Toyota Emission changes are the reason for the SC issue).
