1994 Toyota Truck 4 WD review from North America

The "check engine" light went on at about 131,000 miles. I assumed from this web site that the problem might be the O2 sensor. I took it to an independent repair shop in Alexandria VA that has a good reputation. Sure enough, the problem was the O2 sensor. It appears, however, that the sensor problem was caused by a defective front exhaust pipe. The repair shop told me there was a cause and effect relationship between the two. The cost for installing the two, including parts was about $500.

Although we have only had the truck for less than a year, it appears that they prior owner took good care of it. It's a good running truck. Rust has not been a big problem. The truck body is in good shape. Will need new tires soon. Goodyear tires are now on the truck - they show even wear. Appreciate the views of other owner regarding what replacement brand would be best for this vehicle.

Based on comments from other 1994 Truck Owners, I'm thinking that maybe I should also change the timing chain and guides and also the water pump by 140,000.
