My problem is that everyone wants to buy it from me.

Just what I was looking for thank you as a girl that wants an old Tacoma this helped a lot for looking for issues

Very cool video I have a 02 Tacoma 2 door super basic truck, just went over 300K I love it. The ball joint did break when I was driving slow on a dirt road so no crash but I replaced both sides. The strangest hassle has been the manual window regulator driving side I have replaced it 3 times & the latest one is broken now... no shop can explain why they fail regularly & I can't do the work myself

I have a 2000 tacoma 2.4 with 410k starter is original, only thing that went bad was the alternator. I should had rebuilt it instead of buying a new one

Starter Solenoids are cheap and easy to replace before you buy a new starter. Getting the starter out can be tricky.

If your AC isn't working then change out the temp door blend solenoid. I have an 04 Tacoma, 2.4l, that had this problem. Also, there is an air-flow thingy below the throttle body that gets gummed up. You'll know when this gets stuck open because the RPMs go up and won't go down. I've got 300k on my Tacoma and the only major problem that I've had is the clutch plate getting worn out. The few other issues I've had were easy DIY fixes.

There was a recall on those lower ball joints so get Toyota ones. For my 2003 Tacoma at 216K I have low compression on cylinder #2. Might have to replace the valve cylinder head. That can be number #6 on the list. Starter, mass air flow, temp sensor all still good.

My dad has a 1996 Toyota Tacoma four-cylinder this morning is started up fine but it would not shift into drive so he turned it off change the amp in the column so that it would shift again which was a 7.5 amp now it shifts, but the truck won’t start up good grief What could be the issue? Do you think another amp has blown somewhere? We put a new starter in at two or three weeks ago even changed out the spark plug wires and put new spark plugs in we also recently replaced the water pump and the fan blower and thermostat so I’m not sure what’s up.

very helpful video!

[@Tyrannoreese]

I may be wrong but, it's my understanding the lower ball joint is an issue only between '01-'04 models

[@Robert-yb8is]

How come I haven't had any of those problems in my 2001 tacoma with 300,000 miles
