Major repairs - what have you had to replace?

I was just talking to a customer who is refinacing their truck to pay for repairs. $6,500 in repairs actually. It's a Ford PSD. According to the invoice, they had to replace the turbo, exhaust mainfold, MAF, and quite a few other things. This truck only has 75,000 miles on it. I got to thinking about how my 4Runner has 150,000 miles and has only had a few things fail.

So, what have you had to replace? These are items that have broken or failed.


So far, here's what I had to replace:
Starter
Spark Plug wires (Borg/Warner wires split after only 3,000 miles)
T-Case front output shaft seal
Swaybar end links
Power steering pump rebuilt
Axle seals

Those are the only things that have broken that I have had to replace. The list gets longer if I include regular maintenace items.

Post up!

For mine it has been nothing but regular maintenance stuff

EDIT: Ok I forgot I warped a set of rotors towing a boat, an O2 sensor and the AZ sun killed a battery on me.

Starter, alternator, clutch ... wait, aren't those things that are usually replaced at some point? I guess nothing that wasn't a normal wear item.

Clutch. HG and rear coils/bumps (under campaign). Oh and warped rotors.

Now my starter is "starting" to show signs of taking a crap.

Brakes (warped front rotors) and a clutch at 101K. As far as TSBs it's had the HG recall, and the rear springs.

I love my Toyota

nothing that I would consider major.

110k miles on my rig, replaced the starter, rotors (a few times), battery, timing belt. Everything else is maintenance type stuff... though you could argue that those things are also maintenance issues.

Rear axle seals at 95k and that's it but it's begging for new shocks/springs and those are coming soon.

maintanance like:
shocks (bushings wore out)
rotors (too warped for me)
Abuse:
rediff seal (probably my own fault for hitting it off road)
back bumper (idiot hit me)
repairs:
throttle body sensor
Starter maybe be acting up or the truck is just spending too much time in the sun and short drives these days

Pick a part on the 85 and I've replaced it, had it replaced, fixed it, had it fixed or have it on the list to be fixed and/or replaced...

Are we having fun yet?
