'96 T100

Hi All,

Just got an ok deal on a decent '96 T100, v6, 4x4, 100k miles. The head
gaskets were replaced under recall some time ago. The timing chain was
replaced 40k miles ago. It reminds me of an overgrown Tacoma :).

Besides new fluids all the way around, any adjustments that I need to
make? Any info and suggestions would be appreicated....

I have 349k on my 96, other than the 2nd generation (3rd if you count the
originals) head gaskets I've had to do little to it. Still has the original
timing >belt<.

Bill,

What repair manual do you recommend?

Hi Don,
I have the Toyota FSM, Haynes and Chilton's. All are useful in some aspects,
but if you get only one I'd purchase the FSM. You can usually find them on
e-bay. To be honest, so far the T-100 has been so trouble free that I've had
little need for them. (Knock, Knock)
