bobaquino: sorry you can't find anything. Maybe the new tundra will stir interest in the Toyota full size p/u market. I can't blame the aftermarket. In 1997, if I'm not mistaken, Toyota only moved 27,000 T100's. Considering that Ford estimates the average F-150 owner spends 1300 bucks on aftermarket upgrades, no wonder the T-100 gets left out. Good luck |

Head Gasket.....man that worries me. Do I need to have it changed on my 98 T100??? About the ac....I took it back to another dealer and they were great. They purged the whole system and added a die to check for leaks. Apparently the system was 1/2 lb low. Now my ac cools down between 42 and 48....very acceptable. jd keep the postings alive |

| Are the T100's reliable? They are selling me a 97 T100 with 35,000 miles with the SR5 package, full power options and convinience pacakage with wheels and nice tires for $23,000. I'm offering $19,000 out the door. Am I being stubbor or rediculous to offer 4 thousand off the MSRP from the Toyota Dealer? | |

For Sonymmx200: Somebody must think you've just fallen off the turnip truck. To answer the first question, YES! They are very reliable (mine has never been back to the dealer with 21k miles on it). But 23 grand for a 97 with 35k on the clock is riduculous. I assume you are talking about a 4x4 not a 2wd vehicle. I paid 20 even for a 2wd brand new last year. Could have had a 4wd for about 23 give or take a few hundred. Take a look at kelly blue book, (www.kbb.com) and price out the truck for the wholesale and retail prices. Make an offer somewhere closer to the wholesale price giving the dealer maybe 500 over. If he balks, walk away. If you're of a mind to spend in the mid 20's then you might want to wait for the new tundra to come out. Course, they wont have any good deals on it for at least a year till the feeding frenzy wears off. |

23,000 for a 97..............what a joke. I have a 98 4x4 k-cab. I picked it up for 24,100. Yes the truck is very reliable, but not popular. It'll take them a while to push that truck out of the lot. Be patient and stick to your guns. good luck jd |

I bought a set of factory aluminum wheels for my 98 t100 4x4. I got a killer deal from a friend who runs the parts department at a Toy dealer. I believe they are 16 x 7. What's the largest size tire I can safely put on this wheels. Also this set of wheels comes with std factory tires. I'm willing to part away with the tires. jd |

| I've personally ran 275/85R16s on 16X7 wheels. It was a tight fit, but not too bad. However I don't know what clearance issues you would have with your T100 as the wheels were then bolted to a different vehicle. | |
| Whoops -- that should be 285/75R16. Doh! | |

I had the carpets shampooed on my 98 T100 and if you have an alarm then you should know that the brain for the alarm is under the driver seat. The morons at the car wash got that control box wet and fried it. Nothing on my alarm worked. I took it to the dealer and the service adviser who is really cool got it fixed for me. So the moral to the story is be careful if you ever get your truck detailed. I still believe that Toyota should of picked a better place to locate that box. |
