    IMG_7742.jpg Hey all! Bought a used 2014 high mileage 188k 1 owner Tundra 5.7 4x4.
    All service records.
    $15k! (Think I got a deal)
    I put new Rotors, pads, and calipers in front. Previous owner just had abs pump replaced. And dealer put in a new rear hub assembly before delivery.
    What should I be looking out for next? Any immediate maintenance?

    Sweet ride (but I may be partial to black tundras, here’s mine)!IMG_0465.jpgSeems like you got a great deal. I’d start with replacing all fluids just to be safe (especially oil, trans and diff). How do the maintenance records look? That will give you an idea of what else might be lacking.

    I swore to myself I’d never buy another black vehicle.
    Oil has been changed every 7000.
    I don’t see any other fluids changed. Trans and Differential fluid. If that’s all I need to worry about? It’ll give me that piece of mind. Thank you!

    Lol, I know what you mean about the color... and I live in FL! Oh well, it makes for a great looking truck IMO. You mention the front brakes being replaced. If new fluid wasn't a part of that, I'd consider changing that out as well. Other than that, I'd just drive it for a month before making any changes (unless an issue arises). If you check in on the forum too often, you'll end up learning a lot but also spending some cash!

    Checking these forums is like checking webmd when you have a cold.

    Change all fluids for piece of mind. Coolant and brake fluid including. Ravenol is a good substitute for diffs/transfer case. Don't forget about headlight fluid, too!

    If I bought a used truck, I would conduct a thorough PM replacing every fluid regardless of need, mileage or year. Especially at 188k so it'll last another 188k :)
