Tune Up Checklist

[Scuba]

Alright so Im getting ready to take a 3000 mile roundtrip road trip to texas, So now would be the time to do a good tuneup. So heres my list, Let me know what else you think.. Oh, All this is for my 99 2.7

From Toyota :
Plugs, Fuel Filter, Air filter, Oil filter, Pcv Grommet, Valve cover gasket ( Planning on re torquing the head)

Parts store :
Front diff, Transmission and Tcase fluid. ( rear was changed not too long ago with the locker install)
PCV valve
Seafoam ( im just going to put a little bit in the gas, Something about the crankcase crap scares me);
Electrical connector cleaner (afm is what I was planning on using it for, What else should I hit..TPS?); Drive belts..



Please add to my list if you see anything else...

Thanks

new driver? :flipoff:














hehe :tongueout:

you driving out there with those new tires? if you're not planning to hit the trails, save those tires for the trails and use your old stockers! no need for excessive wear and tear :) plus stockers will be better on the mpg if you know what i mean!
flush radiator?
belt condition?
in cabin filter? (if you guys have one)?
engine oil?

btw how many miles does it have anyhow? i guess that'll be a big factor on what stuff you gotta take care of.

Plug wires?


Also don't forget our blinker fluid LOL!
Other the. The wires and what lance mentioned, you should be good.

I would use the old stockers but my dads planning on getting them mounted now.
Plus I dont have 125 to get them switched back on my rims..


Radiator was basically flushed during the repairs after accident..
Havent really looked at the belts, But it does say it at the end of my first post.
Dont have an in cabin filter, But im going to do the oil just before I go..

So on these new fangled coil pack's are the wired just called plug wires..?

stupid question I know but just wondering..

Stop in Phoenix on your way thru, I have a set of those wheels you can have.

[Scuba]

You say have.. So it sounds like you mean free?

[strykersd]

Check your hoses. I had one tear on my car on the way back from Arizona a few weeks ago, in turn causing my head gasket to blow. Luckily I was able to patch up the hose and limp it back the last 150 miles

If you want them, they are yours. For free.

check your brakes, have the fluid flushed out at least a week before you heading out, so you have few days to check if it needs to be re-bled, so are the other items, give yourself some time to double check.

grease the drive line.

battery fluid level

check the AC see if it needs a refill. you don't wanna mess with the texas heat.

save your band new M/T, you're gonna get tired very quickly with the highway noise. cker will eat them like no tomorrow.

coil packs are expensive (90 a piece or so for the 5vz-fe) and should only be replaced if there is a problem. there are 3 spark wires, those should be replaced, about $60 from the stealer.

15's..?

If they were 16's I would jump on it, but I really dont need another set of 15's..

Brakes are new all around, And I flushed them not too long ago during the locker install, Bled them again during lift install

grease the drive line.
Did that 2 weeks ago

battery fluid level
Will do

check the AC see if it needs a refill. you don't wanna mess with the texas heat.
Ac was recharged during the repairs from the accident, Still blows ice so im not worried about it

save your band new M/T, you're gonna get tired very quickly with the highway noise. cker will eat them like no tomorrow.

Trust me, I wish I could, But I really dont have any other option, They are on my dads 4runner now (which is actually in an impound yard (dont ask)..

5 quarts gear oil, Valve cover gasket, plugs, air filter, fuel filter, and pcv valve and grommet.
Forgot to get the electric conector cleaner for the MAF and tps, Will get that before the weekend.

The way the miles are going im probably going to have my oil change needed to be done next week, so that should be good..

:wrenchin:

Yeah, 15's. No problem, just thought I would offer.

[2ndGen]

use only "MAF" cleaner. electric contact cleaner is more harsh.

Seafoam ( im just going to put a little bit in the gas, Something about the crankcase crap scares me

1/2 qt. Marvel Mystery Oil (http://www.marvelmysteryoil.com/index.php/site/mmo/) in the crankcase . . . or if you can get it from a someone at a dealership use BG MOA (http://www.bgprod.com/products/engineoil.html) - my friend (auto/large truck engineer) uses BG MOA in all of his race cars (500hp open wheel and the open wheel Formula SAE w/ CBR929 engine) and he swears it, says you can see a very thin red film on everything (bearings included) during tear-downs

Now that I think about it, I just might take you up on that offer.
I need some street tires....

[JOSHH]

Just so you know, one of them has a tire on it, that you would have to discard.

Let me know when you're heading through AZ. :thumbup:

[Scuba]

Done.

Fuel filter was a biotch, But it could have been alot worse I think..
Pcv wasnt as bad as I have experienced with the 22re's..

Tranny, Tcase, And front diff fluid is all done.

Wheeling this weekend :thumbup:
