tune up

My 07 tundra with the 4.7 engine is coming up on 120,000 miles,what do you guys get done for a tune up, plugs I know, but what else is very important to get done.I not having any problems wires,fuel injection cleaning,throttle body,just let me know what you guys recommend.Thanks,Meinke wanted to charge $450 to get it done,plugs and fuel injection cleaning and throttle body decarb,does it sound right on price. Thanks again looking for all opinions Thanks

 

Good morning @ Clifton. I wouldn't take my Tundra to Meinke if you were paying for it. If your gonna get a full tune up, then I suggest taking it to Toyota, unless you know a mechanic you trust and is good. Depending on what your Tundra has been used for, I would get a transmission drain and fill or flush before plugs. I'm a .....If it ain't broke don't fix it.I kinda live by that.There are some exceptions. Like transmission, differential, and oil changes obviously. Just my .02. Good luck

 

I was curious about this myself my 07 5.7just turned 110k
Does garage do anything different to injectors besides put chemicals in fuel
Has anybody fogged their intake system (seafoam)
Sorry

 

@ Mike, unless you've been putting seafoam in your Tundra from the beginning, I wouldn't put any kind of additives in my Tundra. Me personally, I think your opening a can of worms.

 

I use seafoam every so often in both my 2002 and 2016 Tundras. No harm, may do some good.

Is it time for a timing belt?

 

Thanks Ron
I pretty much go with your theory if it ain’t broke I’m going to have tranny serviced (the one under truck) for some reason I really want to change plugs prob wait til fall

 

I like seafoam run it in wife’s car haven’t put any in Tundra but prob will
I was wondering if anyone has fogged intake system but like Ron said I think that could open another whole can

5.7= timing chain

 

Lots of great advice so far Clifton. Plugs are fairly easy to check/change. When needed. I recently pulled out a couple plugs when I hit 90K. Both looked great. Going to wait a while longer before I change all of them.

 

Yeah, it's recommended @ 120 k. I need to get tranny done soon. Timing belt for our 2nd gens with the 4.7 is a must . I had mine done @65k when the AIP went. New water pump and timing belt.

 

Def do the timing belt and waterpump (you're there and it's going to save you money in the long run). If you do the pump, you'll have to drain the coolant so it's a good time to just put new in (use the Toyota SLLC). I'd do plugs (they are iridium and due every 120K) and clean the throttle body. Also get the plugs from the dealer, don't use Champion or Bosch platinum as our engines do not respond well to that. Don't worry about Seafoam or fogging the intake. I work on these every day and I can tell you it's unnecessary. And don't take it to a place like Meineke, you're better off not doing anything.

 

Maybe your '02 but not your '16

 

I cleaned out my MAF and TB, got the cans from Autozone, easy to do ther is a can for each one, also changed out my plugs at 50k driver side some what of a PITA also changed my tensioner and idler pulley and belt not that bad to do, were squealing at 35k when I bought truck used with 26k

 

Thanks a lot of good info,i have had the timing belt done already at 90,000
