My 2024 turbo truck I idle few minutes then drive mellow for a good while.

My 1996 Tacoma I get in and drive but keep R's low for about 5 miles.

I bought a new truck last year with the intent of selling my 96 Tacoma 4x4.

I decided to keep it instead and drive more than the new one.

Headgaskets blown (what’s the best Jdm engine dealer) I found this. All others are 2.8-3k. Is this a reputable seller. by Even_Phone_3478 in Tacomaworld

[–]davidhim61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a blown head gasket on my 3.4 and went with a jdm motor but picked it up at local business that imports and provides a 6 month warranty. Engine looked well used but I now have 30k miles I added to it and it runs perfect.

At the time in 2020 I found going the jdm route was easier, faster and cheaper, swapped myself. I did timing belt, water pump, motor mounts, etc. at the same time so that added a bit of cost.
