    Tune Up Checklist

    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..

    Re: Tune Up Checklist

    new driver?














    hehe

    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.

    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..

    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

    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.
