** I noticed smoke in the exhaust and was told that it is likely a leaking head gasket. Long story short, I decided to do an engine swap to a 3rd GEN engine,
5VZ-FE,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V30K7ePLMM. I removed all of the components from the 3VZ-E engine, bought an engine lift (cherry picker), and halted due to lack of time and money.
The motor was completely disconnected, but is now re-connected. If you can do a head gasket job, you're getting a lot of truck for the money.
$16,962.53 spent so far.
Vehicle is not running so you will need to bring a trailer to move it.
