Howdy, my Brother-in-Law bought a 1998 Toyota Tacoma from an older Farmer in Iowa. Just 80,000 Miles!
I'll be doing most of the maintenance on it.
Very little maintenance was done to it, unfortunately, but looks nice w/no rust.
I checked the Air Filter first, and it was super dusty; banged out millions of sand/dust particles out of it.
Told him to buy a new Air Filter right away!
It had no Master Cylinder Cap, just a rag stuffed in it. Got a new cap. Brake Fluid is BLACK.
Bleeding it tomorrow.
Few Questions.....
1) It has the original Transmission Fluid, 17 years, 80k, it's a dull red, no brown, change it, correct?? Any particular type?
2) Is this one of the "sludger" engines??
3) Anything else I should watch out for?
Thanks!
