2019 just turned 100K.....suggestions for maintenance

Bought this new in October 2019 and this 100K came up fast.
(Yeah...I drive the shyte out of this baby.)
90% highway and city driving. To and from job sites or long trips.
Trailers once in while. No serious off-roading and abuse of course.

Just curious what you cats suggest for any parts and pieces I need to check or replace now?
Believe it not...I have the original brake pads and rotors.
Plugs? Serpentine?....ideas?
Only thing that's been a nuisance is this damned TSS sensor as you all know seems pretty common.

 

Schedule is in your manual, but here is a link https://www.toyotaofnorthmiami.com/toyota-tundra-service-schedule/

 

Wow, Tony, that’s a heap of miles!
The answer to your question starts in the manual where service intervals are all specified. Here’s a couple questions for you to answer, for us, if you want suggestions, or for yourself to help move on;
1) Have all required services been done at recommendation intervals so far?
(Fluid changes etc)
2) have you been getting service done at the dealership, how’s your experience been?
3) are you a good home mechanic, semi pro, or not interested?
4) if you have been getting service done at an independent shop, how has that been?

 

I passed 110K on my 2018 1794 Edition this October. I've had it for almost three years. I changed my Denso spark plugs SK20HR11 early (due at 120K). Bought them from the Toyota Dealer (don't trust other vendors). I got my serpentine belt from Toyota Dealer, a

$66 Dayco 89378 Belt Tensioner

Dayco 89378 Belt Tensioner and a

$55 Dayco 89502 Idler/Tensioner Pulley

Dayco 89502 Idler/Tensioner Pulley (both from Amazon) much cheaper than from Toyota and its the exact same item (way more expensive from Dealer). I changed the battery too, got a Duralast Gold from Advance Auto / way cheaper than the Dealer. When you buy a battery, always check the date on it, it should be fresh like the month you buy it or last month. Best to change these items earlier than later. Some guys mentioned they waited until the belt made a noise or the engine is acting funny but thats up to them. Here soon, I'm changing the Power Steering fluid, Radiator fluid, Brake fluid, front / rear and transaxle fluids. Still debating when to change the transmission fluid. Some what like you, I do a lot of highway driving and I work 60 miles from home, so yeah mileage adds up.
I changed the tires from 275/55/20 to 275/60/20 Michelin Defender LTX. Much softer and quiet ride.

 

Great info guys.
I have changed the oil and checked all fluids at the 5K intervals. There's a Toyota mechanic literally stones throw from my office so its been handy. Waltz over...drop off keys...come back later for it. I'm on my second set of tires now. So winter driving is ready. Same tires as you Fuguchan!
I'll peruse the manual for any other items or ask my mechanic what he thinks. He actually owns a Tundra too.

 

Totally agree with this. Other than obvious fluids, etc. the serpentine belt, tensioner and idler pulley and battery (if original) are the ones I'd do as preventive maintenance.
I also did diff fluid, cabin filter, wipers, a OEM brake pads F/R right at 100k in mine, but it took me 5 years of use to get there so my stuff was probably more worn than your quick 100k hwy miles.

 

quick question just out of curiosity. Did you install the trans cooler on your truck?

 

I like to throw in new thermostats every 3 years, batteries 3-4 yrs. To me both are cheap insurance for any vehicle. 100k, I am doing ball joints, u joints, coolant and heater hoses, on top of many things already mentioned in other posts above. For me wheel bearings would be right around the corner 120 140k too.

 

Probably change out the brake pads and be proactive. Any suggestions for mfr's to use and stay away from?

 

Yeah, I ran into that on my 2011 Tacoma. Every service advisor I called at 3 dealerships told me nobody replaced that fluid because it's considered "lifetime". I flat out told them I do and to flush it.

 

way to go on the miles!

the maintenance I would do would depend on the vehicle's future.

If you are planning on continuing putting tremendous miles on the truck:

all hoses...ALL...hoses. On Tundra this is a massive task.
Belt and tensioner
Change all fluids including P/S and brake.
Brake bleed and flush.
pull and inspect brake caliper pins for scoring or gouging. clean off and lube with caliper pin grease. Inspect caliper piston seals for cracking.
Replace thermostat.
Replace radiator cap
Inspect radiator seams carefully for early signs of leakage
Spark plugs.
Clean throttle body
replace PCV valve
Inspect rear axle seals for leaks.
Inspect parking brake shoes...replace if necessary
Test charging system

On transmission service I would do a drain and refill 3-4 times rather than a flush. It is easier on the system and gets you a virtually complete exchange of fluid. Then change the filter/screen inside pan.


If the truck is going to see less severe duty schedule

change all fluids including a complete replacement of transmission fluid.
inspect spark plugs and coils
replace radiator cap
brake service and inspection as above
replace pcv
test charging system
clean throttle body

 

Replace all the dyno fluid, grease where applicable, replace spark plugs, replace coolant, replace air engine filter, replace cabin filter, and replace brake stuff.

 

how is the transmission at 100k miles? asking because of the no-tranny cooler thing..

 

This statement may have been true up until 3 years ago based upon what I've been reading around here.

See? If what I'm reading is correct and the cooler delete is a result of corporate bean counting then what else have they molested? Anyone with a 19+ is boned from what I gather... built just well enough to make it out of warranty and then the nickel and dime shenanigans begin.

 

OP has not responded yet. So i don't want to make conclusions right away. not a lot of 2019+ with high miles especially towing. I don't tow, i use my truck for play and long road trips. mainly sits on the driveway 4-5 days a week.

 

Nope!

Screwed. Duped. Hoodwinked. Huckstered. Gypped ( I can say that... I'm Hungarian).

I'm waiting for Ford to release the suppercharged V8 Raptor then I'm trading before my trangsmission collapses upon itself like a neutron star.

 

not to bump and old thread but I’d love to know how many miles you have now and how it’s holding up @Vito117

 

Hit the 200K mark a couple months back.
I have 208,000 now. No issues.
Went in for total tune up at my non dealership Toyota mechanic.
New plugs, wires, radiator flush, needed new bearings on one wheel. Also a New ABF sensor on one rear wheel was needed too.
No to the tranny flush as mechanic did not recommend it. He owns same truck too.
Believe it not I'm only on my 2nd set of brake shoes and rotors on the rig.
Got all new tires put on last week so ready for winter.

Guys:
Take it from me. With these newer Tundras and these ABS sensors, you got to be careful . They get damaged- or if wires get frayed it will totally phhucks up your day and then your dashboard turns into a Christmas tree.

 

Thanks for chiming in! Do you tow at all? You’ve not done any trans flush at all? That’s a ringing endorsement for these transmission for sure. Seems like everybody’s upset for no reason.

 

200k is a hell of a milestone. How long are you planning to keep your truck?

Despite the evidence of high mileage daily driven 2019+ trucks being fine, there's still a lot of handwringing over the transmission cooler. I installed one on my 2021 when it was new, but mainly for towing as half my miles are with a trailer. I think the benefit is marginal for a daily driver that doesn't tow. People forget the OE cooler for 2007-2018, which was integrated into the condenser, was pretty small and inefficient.

 

I towed a ton with my 04 Sequoia and no cooler. Sold it with 260k.

 

I've towed box trailers, flat beds, even a damn 30ft camper rig. It struggled a bit on the interstate and felt like it was 1st gear as it chugged along. No trans issues then again I'm not hauling stock wagon with steers up Pikes Peak and back,

 

Plan is to keep thru year 2025. By then Ill have 250K easily.
I had a 2007 Tundra LTD CrewMax and that got me 250K no trouble other than new water pump, rotors, pads, plugs...etc.
My 2019 has few paint nicks here and there but all in the truck looks pretty damn new inside and out.
