Truck has just over 10,000 miles now. I was asking how to do this on the Toyota for future reference. Doing service on my Fords today, included cleaning injectors, and was just wanting to ask how to do it on Toyota. What type of fitting do I look for on the Toyota ? schraeder ??

Run a can of BG44K through at every oil change. Injectors will likely never need anything more for the rest of their lives.

Most CarQuest stores carry it (at least around here). Most any other can special order (a PITA for repeated use though).

It is worth searching for though. It is by far the best fuel injector cleaner out there. Costs though, the cheapest I've seen it recently is $19 a can.
