Any advice on getting HG replaced under factory recall?

 

Good luck with a 95.

Generally speaking the 95's were considered one of the only years where they had the "right" head gasket. My uncle has a 95 pickup with 3.0 and he ran it to 300,000 KM's without any head gasket problems before he decided to rebuild simply because he wanted to keep the truck.

 

call Toyota up and ask.

V06 Recall

call them and try.
my 95 4runner was done before i bought it . i checked before buying it. so they do cover at least some 95's. good luck.

 

I have a 95 and it was covered. However, I would spend the extra money and get ARP head studs and have them tourqe them to ARPs specs. And re-tourqe them after a few heat cycles. All head gaskets will have some settling during the first few complete heat cycles. This releases tension on the studs/bolts and that leads to HG failure.

 

I had a 95 and just called and I am not covered... bummer

 

I had a '95 that wasnt covered either...the early '95 model was but mine was considered a '95.5 where they "fixed" the problem...it will depend on what month your rig was actually made in '95...good luck
