So overall its not a big deal now. First repair was the gasket came loose in the transmission and made it difficult to shift gears. I was able to drive it from a vacation in southern California with this problem for three days until we returned to Portland, Or area. I was following my future father-inlaw in his Acura Legend averaging about 85 mph. I could keep up with him excpet on the corners.
Trucks never handle as good as sports cars.
It was repaired within three days and no problems since. A year later Toyota had a recall on the 3.0 V6 Head gaskets because they started having problem with engines over 100,000 miles. They sold this V6 from 1989 to 1994 and have recently came out with a bigger V6. Overall I am happy with the truck and its smooth ride and larger 8 foot bed. The only reason I would sell or trade it would be for the new larger Toyota pickup due out in 1999.
