Hey guys,

I am looking at picking up a 1993 Toyota T100 with the 3.0. Not surprisingly it's got a blown headgasket and hydrolocked engine.

The headgasket has never been done by Toyota. Was the T100 covered under the recall? I hear Toyota won't cover it if the engine has more than 100,000 miles on it. Is this true? Others say they will always do it. I'm going to get the VIN this weekend and call Toyota to see what they say but I figured i'd ask on here first.

Yes I searched but I found very conflicting info.

I believe the issue was resolved by 1993. I've had two recalled head gaskets 1988 and 1989 4 runners with 3.0. Toyota will run your vin for you. Sorry about your luck and good luck repairing.

 

I know Toyota replaces the headgaskets from 1988 - early 1995.

Thanks for the best wishes.

 

you just bought a 91 pick up? lol why do you want the T100?

 

Winter restore project and its clean and too good to pass up.

 

Yes, it's covered. I got mine done. Just call your local dealer with your VIN handy. I haven't heard anything about the mileage clause.

 

Now here's some good info! Thanks.

Did you just have the headgasket replaced or did they do more?

 

Just the HG. It was running fine with very low miles at the time.

 

Oh ok well this one is hydrolocked and will need a new engine or need to be bored out, etc.

 

Called the dealership today with the VIN, turns out the headgasket was replaced in 1999. Oh well looks like plan b... swap in a 3.4

 

Just bought my 96 T100 SR5 yesterday. Think I will call the dealership and see if the Hg has been replaced

 

for s and g's i'm going to see about mine... the big issue i have is it is already torn apart ..... dosent hurt to ask i guess..
