1986 Toyota Pickup EFI, 1/2 ton extra cab, 2wd review from North America
"If you take care of it, it will take care of you"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The crankcase seal is currently leaking a slight bit.
The front pump seal on the transmission has been replaced.
The three u-joints were recently replaced.
The console cover was worn, and I had it reupholstered.
I wish the turning radius was tighter.
General comments?
I have been very pleased with this vehicle.
I maintain it religiously; Castrol 20/50 GTX oil every 3000 miles/4 months, 4 ounces of Marvel mystery oil mixed with the gasoline every other tank, and also put in Marvel mystery oil in place of some of the oil when it's changed occasionally.
Everything has held up very well I believe, and I'm looking forward to driving this vehicle to the 400,000 or 500,000 mile mark.
