    Just bought this 2008, 5.7 RCSB tundra from a good friend of mine. Has 64k miles I’m the third owner. He only put 4k miles on it! Extremely clean inside and out. Paid 17k, I’m super excited! Anything I should know? IMG_4100.jpg IMG_4102.jpgIMG_4096.jpg

    Welcome from the Houston, TX area!

    What should you know? The secondary air injection pump will probably go out before too long. My '08 had that issue this year when the mileage was around 76k. If you live in a place where you can get away with it (won't fail an emissions inspection), get a bypass kit when it fails instead of paying thousands to replace it.

    Check for oil leaks, they happen with time but are worth fixing considering that engine is hardly even broken in yet.
