How much does it costs you to have the timing chain replace? I have mine replaced recently. It costs me almost $1800. What is the mileage on your truck when you got the timing chain replaced?

Dittos on the '94 Toyota 2WD pickups, bought mine new (22RE, 5-SPD, base model truck, with A/C only). I have driven it almost every day, and after 20 years and 258,000 miles (with only normal maintenance) I can't tell any difference in how it drives, or in power. The paint even still looks good. The A/C has never been touched, never even needed coolant.
Twice during the first 100K miles the clutch pedal got a little "sticky", so I took it back to the dealer who lubricated the throttle body. I have changed plugs, distributor cap, rotor, and plug wires, myself. The timing has never been checked, (I don't have a timing light.) It has never really ran rough. Have always burned premium non-ethanol gas. I don't even know where the fuel filter is located, but it is original to the truck, wherever it is.
I have replaced the clutch, alternator, starter, shocks, tires and batteries, which are all to be expected in 20 years. I was 40 when I bought this truck, now I'm 60. Sliding behind the wheel just feels like coming home. I will never get rid of this thing.

My 1994 Toyota 4x4 truck has around 120,000 miles on it. It starts good, runs good, gets good mileage, and feels as solid as a vault. I just had the water pump and timing chain replaced. I have no complaints at all. The truck runs so well, I may drive it to my retirement luncheon in 2030!
