Rebuilt head, lifters, rings, brgs., etc +300K (in vehicle)

General comments?
Long box, std. cab, last year of Japanese blt. PUs', would buy another if possible. Empty, it has more power than my GM Van did. I have 2 extra blades on rear springs and 8 ply tires for when I place the 8ft camper on it. Have high speed radials on mags and rides smooth right up to top speed (app 160K) All drive train excellent and still original. Works hard when camper on, but OK using lower gears. Could use power steering. Still uses no oil and I change it each 5K. Have never changed trans or rear end oil.
